His brother, Henry Hopkins, who had received the office of Warden of the Fleet from his uncle, Sir Henry Lello, died in 1654-5, and by his will constituted Governor Hopkins Warden of the Fleet, and Keeper of the Palace of Westminster. His wife was Ann, daughter of David Yale, of Denbighshire. He died in London, 1657; will dated March 7, proved April 30, 1657, by Henry Dalley, nephew and sole executor. He remembered the plantations in Connecticut, leaving money in trust to his friends, Theophilus Eaton, Esquire, Mr. John Davenport, Mr. John Cullick, and Mr. Goodwyn, "for the breeding up of hopeful youths in a way of learning, both at the Grammar School and College,"' and the Hopkins Grammar Schools in Hartford and New Haven still perpetuate his memory.
