Biography

In November of 1755, her husband, Ezekiel Hopkins was appointed the administrator of his father-in-law's estate.[1] She had two sisters, Sarah Pray, and Rachel Hinds and no brothers to administer the estate.

Together they had the following known children:

  1. Peleg Hopkins[2]
  2. Ezekiel Hopkins
  3. Jeriah Hopkins.[3] He is mentioned in Ezekiel Hopkins, Jr. American Revolution Pension File. Ezekiel, Jr. was a substitute for his brother Jeriah and his father. No further record of him.

  3. Charles Hopkins, b. 1752

Pray-114 and Pray-30 appear to represent the same person because: She is the same person. I created Mary Pray Hopkins and no Mary Pary popped up. When I went to create her father, Richard, I saw that Mary Pray had been created. Please merge. Thanks. She and her husband, Ezekiel are mentioned in Richard Pray's Will. Thanks!
