Arthur Hopkins born before 1743 in Goochland County, died "A" 9 September 1776^[2] in Pittsylvania County, married Judith Jefferson & son Samuel married Elizabeth Daniel.^[3]

2. ↑ In the main record of a DAR Patriot Ancestor, DAR usually spells out "ANTE" when it means "before". I think that this "A" in the main record means "after". One of the descendant records (which do use "a" to mean ANTE) has "a 9-26-1776", which matches the probate date. Perhaps 9 September is the date his will was written?
