ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS by Maria Jean Pratt Hopper, CG* *CG, Certified Genealogist is a service mark of the Board for Certification of Genealogists, used under license by board certified genealogists after periodic evaluation, and the board name is registered in the US Patent & Trademark Office. Posted as of April 8, 2007 It is the nature of all genealogies to be out of date almost as soon as they are printed as new information is constantly becoming available. It is my intention to use this format to periodically post any additional information or corrections to the first six generations. If you have any other additions or corrections, or information on the seventh and eighth generation Hoppers, please contact me. ADDITIONS 2 CATHARINA (TRYNTJE/CATRINA HOPPE(N)(R) - Thanks to some wonderful research by Pamela J. Sears, in her article "Thomas Frederickszen and Maritje Adriaens: Origins of the Cadmus Family in Amsterdam Revealed," in the October 2006 issue of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, [vol. 137 pp. 179-187], we know now that Catharina's husband Frederick Thomase was baptized in Amsterdam on 1 Sep 1647 as Frerick, son of Thomas Fredericktsz and Marritte Arijaens; wit. Hilletje Frerickts [Amsterdam Zuider Kerk, DTB 93:173]. Descendants of the Cadmus family should definitely check this article for more information on the European roots of the family. 312 LAMBERT HOPPER - From his pension record, and her 1830 census record, his second wife’s name looked like Lovica Moore. Jonathan Tétreault, recently found her burial record where her gravestone is recorded as Louisa Hopper. “HOPPER LAMBERT (NO DATES) - LOUISA (JULY 1768 - APRIL 12, 1855)” buried in Peru Cemetery (section J1), corners of North Bend Rd. and Sunrise Rd., Peru, Clinton County, NY. Reference: Headstone Inscriptions, Clinton County, New York, Vol. I, Revised. compiled by Clyde M. Rabideau, copyright 2004. Heartnut Publishing, Plattsburgh, NY. 1830; Census Saranac, Clinton, New York; Roll: 85; Page: 285. 484 ELIZABETH HOPPER, wife of John B. Van Horn. Passed down from the Van Horn-Tice family to descendant Joan Hagel, was information gathered by Abraham Terwilleger on the Van Horn family. The dates are very specific and for the most part agree with baptismal and cemetery records and may have come from a family Bible. According to that information the following addition and corrections can be assumed.

New York Church, New York, New York film #1205005 Children of John B. VAN HORN and Elizabeth Hopper, (bap. at Paramus RDCh. except #981): 981 Barent (Bernard) - According the Abraham Terwilleger he was born 7 Sep 1797, no baptismal records can be found for him, he was mentioned in his gr.father Hopper's will da.30 Mar 1820. 492 ANNA (ANTJE) HOPPER - From the New Jersey Journal, Elizabethtown [NJ], Wednesday March 18, 1795: "States Bogert, Ramapough, gives notice that his wife Anne eloped from his bed and board without provocation and forewarns the public from harboring or trusting her on his account." Apparently his 20 year old bride returned to his bed and board, for shortly before or after his their daughter Anna was born, and they testified together as husband and wife in 1843 when her mother applied for a widow's pension.

Van Horn and Elizabeth Hopper (#484). Passed down through the Van Horn-Tice family to descendant Joan Hagel, was information gathered by Margaret and Abraham's grandson Abraham Terwilleger on the Van Horn family. The dates are very specific and for the most part agree with baptismal and cemetery records and may have come from a family Bibles. According to that information the following addition and corrections can be assumed. Children of Abraham VAN HORN and Margaret (Peggy) Hopper [Additional information from Abraham Terwilleger in bold italics]: 1042 John - b. 6 Jul 1818 in N Y City ; m. Eliza Salyer (See Zabriskie #4698 and MAZ Diary); m. 29 Apr 1846, Ramipo [sic] 546 RACHEL (RAGEL) HOPPER, One of the children of Rachel and her husband Paul Debow Sandford, has been identified as Alexander Sandford. Paul and his second wife Margaret Bush, had two children baptized at Pompton Reformed Church, Pompton Lakes, Passaic Co. NJ on ------------: Alexander Sandford, b 16 Feb 1832, and Martin Van Buren Sandford, b 20 Oct 1835. From his birth date Alexander would have been a child of Paul and Rachel (who died 28 Aug 1832) not Paul and Margaret. References: Research of Sandy Brown citing card found in the pastor's study, Pompton Reformed Church. It reads: "Sandford, Alexander b. to Paul D. and Margaret Sandford on Feb. 16, 1832," and a similar one for Martin.

Her death date of 18 Oct 1844 age 71 has been confirmed by the posting of a picture of her grave stone to the web site “Find A Grave.” She is buried as “Ann Dye widow of Hassell Hopper age 71” at Fairfield Reformed Churchyard, Fairfield, Essex Co., NJ. References: Find A Grave - www.findagrave.com (indexed under Ann Hopper) 712 JOHN HOPPER - Thanks to Jim Estes who found an article in Genealogical and Family History of the Wyoming and Lackawanna Valleys Pennsylvania vol. II, on Frank Hopper, son of John Dobb Hopper, and grandson of John Hopper. Though mug books are often unreliable, and this article was in error as it said John was of German background and born in Pennsylvania, the dates in the article appear to have come from a reliable source, perhaps a Bible or other family record. From information in the article, compared with census and other sources, we have been able to identify seven additional children for John Hopper and now know the names of both of his wives.
