Stephen Wolfenbarger (b. 1838, d. 1861) - Hopkins Line
Was he the father of James Arton Hopkins? We only have oral family history to go on.

John R. Petty (b. abt. 1836 in TN) - Hankins Line
Who were his parents? I'm pretty sure his father was John Petty of Bradley County, Tennessee and
Whitfield County, Georgia but his mother is still a question.

Jesse and Rebecca Thomas (Jesse b. 1802; Rebecca b. 1807) - Hankins Line
Jesse and Rebecca were living in Murray and Lumpkin Counties in Georgia in 1840, 1850 and 1860. Nothing
is know about either of their parents and Rebecca's maiden name is not known.

William Taylor (b. 1798-1805 in VA or NC, d. 1880-1886 in KY) - Taylor Line
Many researchers say that William's father was Revolutionary War soldier William Taylor and his wife, Jean
Guffey, but where is the proof?

Rachel McFarland (b. abt. 1808, d.bef 1880) - Hopkins Line
There isn't one clue about Rachel's parents other than her father's surname was McFarland.

Rhoda Ann Lavender (d. bef 1850) - Taylor Line
Rhoda's father was John Lavender of Lincoln County, Kentucky but nothing more is known about him and I
have no leads about her mother.

Thomas Howard (of Wilkes County, NC) - Hopkins Line
Some researchers say Thomas' wife was a Cherokee Indian named Lettie Durham but I haven't found any
actual proof of that. Thomas' parents are also unknown.
