Joseph HOPKINS also married Mary Bigelow ALLEN and Lois _____ SANDERS.They are all buried in Hopkins Cemetery, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada.
They were an early pioneer family who settled in the northeastern-most portion of what is now Dundas and a part of which is known as "Hopkins Corners". The property where the Family Cemetery is now located was registered as Concession 2, Lot 28, in West Flamborough Township in Wentworth County to Joseph Hopkins in 1803.Joseph's brother, Gabriel set aside Lot 29 aside for use as a cemetery.
