HOPKINS Hopkyns in England, in the sixteenth century. It is an ancient English family of Oxford county, and we find John Hopkyns a civic officer in Cov- entry, Oxfordshire, as early as 1567. From the strong resemblance of the armorial bear- ings of the Wykehams of Swalcliffe, Oxford county, and of the Hopkins family of Oving, it is conjectured by Burke that in early times some bond of connection existed between these two families. In confirmation of the surmise there is in Sibford Gower, in Swal- cliffe Parish, a small estate which is charged with a quit-rent of a hundred pence that tra- dition has assigned to the late owners as the nineteenth John Hopkins, who has succes- sively and lineally inherited it without the in- tervention of any other Christian name than John .. As this estate joins immediately to Warwickshire, it may fairly be assumed that the family of Hopkins in Coventry and Swal- cliffe derive from a common ancestor.

The branch of this ancient English family given below is of the north of Ireland. Eze- kiel Hopkins was the Lord Bishop of Derry, Ireland, at the time of the siege in 1689. He represented the Established Church of Eng- land. Londonderry was largely Protestant in population, but the Episcopalians were not so numerous as the Presbyterians. The Scotch element had gained strength during the sixty odd years since the Scotch and English set- tlers were located in Ulster Province, and the term Scotch-Irish had come to include the English as well as Scotch families. Hopkins is an English name, an English family, and all that is Scotch came by marriage after settling in Scotland. The Bishop was undoubtedly English, and he opposed opposition to King James when it was learned that a Catholic regiment was to be sent to the city of Lon- donderry, but the people concluded that Lord Antrim, who commanded the regiment, was coming to murder the inhabitants, and as events proved they were not far wrong in that belief. Dr. Hopkins pointed out to the ex- cited populace the sin of disobeying James, the "Anointed of the Lord," but the people could not comprehend that it was "a crime to shut the gates against those whom they be- lieved sent thither to cut their throats." Nine out of every ten being Presbyterians, they were the more inclined to reject a policy they condemned, because it was advocated by a man whose office they despised. Rev. James Gordon, the Presbyterian minister of Glen- dermot, advised resistance, and the gates

This surname was spelled . were closed against Antrim's soldiers. Bish- op Hopkins now addressed the multitude, telling them that in resisting James, who was their lawful king, they were resisting God himself. But his speech had no effect, and he soon left the town to those whom he called "the disloyal Whigs." But the Bishop must have given overt aid to the Whigs later, for his name appears among those pronounced traitors in the Act for the Attainder of Divers Rebels, etc. A number of Hopkins families are living in Tyrone, Ireland, at the present time.

Of the four brothers who came to New Hampshire about 1730 from the north of Ire- land, possibly related to the Bishop, John Hopkins (mentioned below) was the eldest. James Hopkins, another brother, settled in Londonderry, New Hampshire, and reared a family. Robert Hopkins, another brother, settled in Francestown, New Hampshire, on the Gibson place, as early as 1769, after liv- ing some years at Windham, New Hamp- shire, near Londonderry; his wife Marion · died, and he married (second) Eleanor Wil- son, who was the mother of his children; he was a very devout man, deacon of the Presby- terian church of Francestown, and earlier of Windham, some of the earliest meetings be- ing held in his barn; he died in 1788; children all born in Windham, the eldest Elizabeth April 16, 1740. The youngest of the four brothers is said to have gone with the Scotch- Irish to Maine, where his descendants are numerous.

(I) John Hopkins, the immigrant ancestor. one of four brothers mentioned above, was born about 1700, in Ulster Province, north of Ireland, and came in the year 1730 to the Scotch-Irish town of Londonderry, New Hampshire. He married, in Ireland, Eliza- beth Dinsmore, daughter of John Dinsmore, a distinguished pioneer.

John Dinsmore, from whom descended all of this surname of Ireland as well as Ameri- ca, emigrated from Achenmead, near the Tweed, in Scotland, to Ballywattick, county Antrim, Ireland, where he died. His oldest son John, mentioned above, came to Ameri- ca about the time of his father's death, and with others was landed at St. Georges, in the District of Maine, where an English fort had already been built; and he built a house and seemingly gained the favor of the Penobscot Indians, but when the French and Indian war broke out he was taken captive and held three months. He remained neutral, but the Indians suspected him of secret intercourse

with the English and plotting against the . Indians, and once, in the absence of their chief, who was friendly and trusted Mr. Dins- more, they decided to torture him to death, and had him tied to a stake, with the fuel piled about his feet, when the chief returned just in time to save his life. But he had to leave his home and make his way to a point on the coast, where he found a vessel bound for Boston. From Boston he proceeded to Londonderry to visit old friends and former neighbors, and in consideration of his misfor- tunes and in token of friendship, the town granted him a hundred acres of land upon which he built a stone house, and sent for his wife and two children in Ireland in 1730. Mr. Dinsmore was a mason by trade, and with his son Robert built the old stone garrison of Londonderry. He died in 1741, leaving two children, both of whom were born in Ireland and had families before coming to America. Elizabeth, the daughter, as stated already, married John Hopkins; Robert Dinsmore married Margaret Orr, and was long a prom- inent citizen of Windham, where many de -. scendants have lived. Governor Samuel Dins- more was his son.

John and his wife Elizabeth (Dinsmore) Hopkins came to Londonderry, New Hamp- shire, in 1730, and settled in Londonderry, on land given him by his father-in-law, John Dinsmore, on which Dinsmore had built a stone house which both occupied jointly. The front door-stone of this house was on the pres- ent line between Derry and Londonderry. John Hopkins made a will January 19, 1778, in which he bequeathed to his wife Elizabeth and to his loving grandsons William, Ebenezer, and David, sons of James Hopkins, late of Francestown, deceased, also to his "loving granddaughters Mary Balch, Alice, Naomi, Ruth and Elizabeth, daughters of James Hop- kins, late of Francestown." John died after February 5, 1779. Children : I. James, born in Ireland; mentioned below. 2. Margaret, born in Ireland; married Arthur Nesmith, of Londonderry. 3. John, born in Londonderry. 4. Robert. 5. Nancy. 6. Ruth.

(II) James Hopkins, son of John Hopkins (I), was born in Ireland, doubtless in Antrim, about 1725, and died before his father's will. was made in 1775. His widow and sons lived for a few years in Francestown, in the house now or lately owned by Webster Dunclee. James Hopkins lived but a short time, if at all, in Francestown. His children, mentioned in the will of his father: I. William, mentioned below. 2. Ebenezer, married December 13,

Balch. 5. Alice. 6. Alice. 7. Naomi. 8. Ruth, married, at Francestown, January 31, 1792, John Bellin.

(III) William Hopkins, son of James Hop- kins (2), was born in Londonderry, New Hampshire, December 4, 1762, and came to Francestown with his mother when quite young. He enlisted in the Continental army when a mere boy. It is related that on one occasion when he was with his regiment in New Jersey, he "rowed General Washington across the Delaware River," and doubtless by his youth and readiness of speech and ac- tion made a good impression upon the great commander, since Washington gave the young soldier a small book, which he treasured as long as he lived. He married Rachel Brew- ster, daughter of Isaac Brewster, a Scotch- Irish pioneer, who was born in 1721 in Ireland and died April II, 1782, at Francestown. Brewster was a cordwainer or shoemaker by trade. Hopkins settled on the Hardy place, in Francestown, near the southern base of the mountain, where he died July 5, 1850.

MERRY This family is of English origin, and the oldest of its coats-of- arms is that of the family at Renburne and Barton, Derbyshire: Ermine, three lions rampant gules, crowned or. Crest: Out of a ducal coronet a demi-lion gules, crowned.

There were several of the family among the early settlers of New England, and their names appear in various forms: Merry, Mere, Merie, Merrey, Marrie, Merrye, Merrys, Mery, Merrow, Mer and Merow. Of James Merry, who was admitted an inhabitant of Dover, New Hampshire, 1658, we have no further record; and the same may be said of Nicholas Merry, who was in Massachusetts, May 7, 1639.

(I) Walter Merry was a shipwright in Bos- ton, where he was admitted to the church February 9, 1633-4, and as freeman March 4, same year; his wife Rebecca was admitted to the church December 29, 1633. He had a · wharf, dwelling and warehouse at the Point bearing his name, and later called North Bat- tery. His wife, Rebecca -, died July 4, 1653, and he married (second) August 19, 1658, Mary Doling (or Dowling, or Dolens). Walter Merry was drowned August 28, 1657, and his widow married Robert Thornton, of Taunton and Boston. Children of Walter Merry by first marriage: I. Joseph, see for- ward. 2. Henry, born about 1625; see for- ward. 3. Jeremy, baptized December 15, 1634, died young. 4. Rebecca, born Decem- ber 18, 1636. 5. Jeremiah, baptized January, 1638, died young. Children of Walter and Mary Merry: 6. Sylvanus, born April 8, 1655, died young. 7. Walter, born June 3, 1656; removed to Taunton with his mother after her second marriage; married, February 17, 1683, Martha Cotterill, who died soon after- ward; married second, January 31, 1686, Eliz- abeth Cunnill; no children known to have survived.

(II) Joseph Merry was born in England, about 1620. One account has it that he was a hundred and three years old when he died, at Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard, April 5, 1710, but this is evidently a mistake, as all other facts of his life indicate that he was not born before 1620. He was a carpenter by trade. He settled first in Haverhill, Massa-

chusetts, in 1644, and at Hampton, New Hampshire, as early as 1654. His first wife, Mary - , died at Hampton, April 4, 1657, and he married (second) Elizabeth (Park- hurst) Hilliard, widow of Emanuel Hilliard, who was drowned October 20, 1659, daughter of George Parkhurst, a pioneer of Water- town, Massachusetts. (See Register for 1873, p. 364). He left Hampton in 1671, and had a grant of land July 8, 1671, at Martha's Vine- yard, in the town of Tisbury. He was a constable there, elected November 22, 1675; had lot No. II granted in the division of Oc- tober 22, 1678; was elected surveyor of high- ways, November, 1678; had a lot granted, swamp land on the other brook at the head of the mill pond, February 9, 1681-2; commis- sioner to divide lands, January 22, 1688-9, with Joseph Daggett and Peter Robinson; was authorized to choose his own associates to lay out wood lands March 3, 1690. His son Samuel was equally prominent afterward; was on a committee to ask the general court to abate taxes of Tisbury, November 25, 1700; was third selectman March 9, 1697; died October 9, 1727. Children of Joseph Merry: I. Joseph Jr., born December 19, 1654. 2. Hannah, born November 29, 1660. 3. Abigail, born October, 1662. 4. Bath- sheba, born June 16, 1665. 5. Samuel, born November 16, 1669, died October 9, 1727.

(II) Henry Merry, son of Walter Merry (I), born about 1625, died 1685. The first record of him is at Reading, in 1661, when he married Jane Walles (Wallace), doubtless of Scotch stock. Henry Merry's name was also spelled Merrow, and many of his descendants have followed the same form, and others that of Mero. His children: I. Daniel, born 1662; married Elizabeth, daughter of Dr. James Stimpson, of Reading. 2. John, married De- liverance 3. Henry, married Miriam Brooks, of Woburn. . 4. Samuel, see forward. 5. Joseph, born 1675. Also four daughters.

(III) Dr. Samuel Merry, son of Henry Merry (2), was born in Reading, Massachu- setts, October 9, 1670. He learned his profession probably of his brother-in-law, Dr. Stimpson, and the Stimpsons were in later generations neighbors of the Merrys in Maine and New Hampshire. Dr. Merry practiced in Reading, and before 1720 set- tled in Durham, New Hampshire, to prac- tice. He died in Rochester, New Hamp- shire, at the home of his son, in 1740. He married Mary - -, and their children were: I. Mary, born September 3, 1696; mar- ried Jonathan Nute. 2. Joseph, born August

1, 1698; see forward. 3. Benjamin, born May 9, 1700. 4. Jonathan, born January I, 1702; married Elizabeth Jones, and resided at Som- ersworth, New Hampshire; had descendants in Dover. 5. Ruth, born August 14, 1705. 6. Rachel, born August 16, 1707. 7. Samuel, born May 9, 1710; married Abigail , and had a son Joseph, who married Mary Dore (See Register, vol. 21, p. 132 ; Register of January, 1888, p. 9).

(IV) Joseph Merry, son of Dr. Samuel Merry (3), was born August 1, 1698, at Reading, and removed with his parents to Somersworth, New Hampshire. He bought land in Edgecomb, Maine, in 1731, the deed of which and map are in the possession of his descendant, Rear Admiral Merry, U. S. N., who is the present owner of the old home- stead. Joseph Merry settled there in 1756, removing thither from Dover. He married into the Stimpson family, mentioned above. Stimpson is a contraction of Stephenson, and the family was doubtless Scotch. Children : I. Jonathan. 2. Samuel, see forward. 3. Joseph, Jr .; was administrator of the estate of Nicholas Kennedy, late of Edgecomb, April 26, 1785. 4. James, a soldier from Edgecomb in the Revolution ; (may possibly have been a grandson, instead of son).

(V) Samuel Merry, son of Joseph Merry (4), was born in Edgecomb, Maine. He was a soldier in the Revolution, in Captain Archi- bald McAllister's company, Colonel Samuel McCobb's regiment, in 1779, stationed along the Penobscot. He married Lydia Moore, of Wiscasset, Maine, and they had children, all born in Edgecomb: I. Samuel, born January 27, 1798; married Elizabeth Hough. 2. Jo- seph ; served as minute-man in war of 1812. 3. Joshua, was mate of brig "Betsey," which was wrecked on the Bahama islands; he and all on board, except one man who escaped, were slaughtered by pirates. 4. Stimpson. 5. John ; see forward. 6.
