Biography

Caleb Hopkins was born in January 1650/1 in Eastham, Plymouth Colony, the son of Giles and Catherine (Whelden) Hopkins.[1]

Caleb married twice. His first wife was Mary Williams, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth (Tart) Williams, born probably in Eastham and died probably before 1728. Their marriage date is not on record.[1] Mary was mentioned in the will of Thomas Williams of Eastham, made 10 May 1692, and a receipt in the settlement of his estate was executed by Mary Hopkins on 26 October 1696.[2]

His second wife was Mary, whose maiden name is not known. She died before 22 May 1728, and is otherwise unidentified. There is a gap between births of his older children and daughter Thankful, daughter of "Caleb and Mary" in her birth record. Mary Williams' parents were married in 1638 and she seems too old to have had a child born in 1709.[1]

Caleb Hopkins was one of the first seven proprietors of Pamet (later Truro) on 17 June 1690.[1]

He died probably not long before 22 May 1728 when administration of his estate was granted to his son Caleb. A settlement agreement, dated 5 June 1728, described Caleb as a yeoman late of Truro, and listed the heirs as eldest son Caleb, second son Nathaniel, third son Thomas, and Thankful Hopkins only daughter.[3][1]
