"When Scituate, Rhode Island, was set apart from Providence, in 1730, we find the family of Hopkins in that part of the town now Foster, honored with appointments. (Their brother Zebedee settled in Glocester.)
Joseph, being a care'ul and benevolent man, and of some age, was made overseer of the poor
Lieut. Elisha Hopkins was chosen a member of the town council
Thomas was elected a surveyor of the highways
Ezekiel was appointed to audit the town treasurer's accounts
William was elected a grand juror
Thus, five brothers were usefully employed in town affairs. They all married and resided near to each other, and their childen and children's children soon made a large Hopkins family."
