The Weidman Family of Up-State New York. A 76 page document. Page 31 has "Lydia Hopkins born in March 1713 in Harwich MA to Samuel Hopkins and Lydia Rich. Samuel Hopkins was born in March 1682 in Eastham, Plymouth Colony, the son of Stephen Hopkins. Sam and Lydia were married 5Dec1702 in Eastham. Lydia Rich was born in 1688 in Eastham, Plymouth Colony." There is no mention of Lydia Rich being married to Nathaniel Hopkins or being the mother of Lydia (Hopkins) Bragdon.
Massachusetts Births and Christenings, 1639-1915. Reliance Hopkins, born 17 Nov1709 in Harwich, Barnstable MA. Father: Samuel Hopkins. Mother: Lidea. It's not clear what this source has to do with Lydia Hopkins or Lydia Ruth.
