Biography

Birth/Baptism

Hannah Turner, daughter of Nathaniel, was baptized the 17th of the ninth month (November), 1639.^[1][2][3] She was probably born about 1639.

Page 16 of Winthrop's medical journal. " ______ Turner, 20 years old, Mrs. Goodenhouse daughter. 1657.”^[4] The other Turner daughters of Mrs Goodenhouse were married by 1657, so this must be Hannah, who quite easily could have been born 1637 or thereabouts.

Marriage

Mr Samuell Hopkins & Mrs. (mistress) Hannah Turner were married by Mr Mathew Gilbert December 5th 1667, in New Haven, Connecticut.^[5][6]

Children recorded in New Haven.^[7]

1. Wait Samuel Hopkins 30 Aug 1668^[5]
2. Hannah 2 May 1670^[5]

Jacobus in Families of Ancient New Haven stated that Samuel returned to England,^[7] which may be true, but a Samuel and Hannah with children of the same names were later in Maryland. ... Are they the same family?

To Maryland via Virginia

Samuel and Hannah and their children moved from Connecticut to Accomack County, Virginia by 1678.^[8] "Aug: 10th: [1680] Then Samuel Hopkins proved his right to three hundred Acres of Land for transporting himself Hannah his wife, Samuel, Nathan, Hannah and Temperance his Children into this Province to Inhabitt"^[9][10] Samuel became a public figure and held several offices.^[8]

Death

Hannah was still living 20 January 1703/4 and perhaps still living when her husband died about 1711.

Samuel Hopkins, Sr., of Somerset Co. Maryland, made a will dated 20th January 1703/4, which was proved 4th March 1711/12. He left his elder son, Samuell, his plantation and 350 acres of land “Nungreen” at decease of his mother, “my now wife,” Hannah. To his second son, Nathaniell, he left 300 acres in the confines of Indian River. To grandson Samuell , only son of Andries Dirrickson and his deceased wife, Temperance, 500 acres, “Vines Neck.” To granddaughter Mary, only daughter of Dirrickson, 300 acres “Babell.” Executors were son-in-law Col. Wm. Whittington and son Samuel Test: John Webb, Bryan Peart, John Franklyn, James Fullerton.^[11]

The family land known as "Hopkins Discovery", formerly in Somerset Co. MD on the Indian River, ended up being in Delaware after a border change.
