Inventory of Estate

On 4 October 1593, administration on the estate of John Hopkyns of Winchester was granted to widow Elizabeth with William Hopkines posting bond. Hursley historian S.C. Rawdon arranged to have the following transcription made by Mrs. Barbara Burbridge of Ampfield (near Romsey), Hampshire, which we have checked against a copy of the original.

Particularly interesting items in John Hopkyng's inventory are his military uniform and equipment kept in the kitchen: '1 bow & sheaf of arrows, 1 sword, 1 dagger, 1 skull [i.e., helmut], greave & warbrace [i.e., armor for arms, hands and lower legs].' Most likely he was a yeoman archer serving in the militia. From his military apparel. one can form a graphic picture of an Elizabethan bowman fully dressed and ready for battle.

From the variety of beds included in all rooms of the house, we can conclude that it was full with family members and perhaps some servants. There were thirteen bed spaces: four in the parlor, two in the fore chamber, four in the second chamber, three in the kitchen. While it is impossible to determine if all beds were in use, the number certainly indicates that the four rooms provided a large number of bed spaces and this does not include two more in the little chamber, which was probably used for storage.

John probably died at the end of August 1593 as John's inventory that is printed in Caleb's book page 21 was reported 04 Sep 1593.

John Hopkins appears to have died around the end of August 1593 because his inventory was reported 04 September (corrected from 10 September). 04 Oct 1593 is the date that widow Elizabeth was appointed administrator of the estate in WInchester, Hampshire. We still don't know where/when she died.

John was first married to Agnes BORROW or BORROWE on 28 Oct 1574 in Upper Clatford, Hampshire, England, and had two children, William and Alice.

John married second to Elizabeth WILLIAMS on 28 Jul 1579 in Upper Clatford, Hampshire, England and had two children, Susanna and Stephen.
