Commissioner of Pensions, Washington. D. C.
Dear Sir:
We are writing a sketch of the life of Timothy Hopkins, who was born in Great Barrington, Mass. in Nov. 1750, and died at Huntingdon, Pa. on October 10, 1808. His (second) wife was Mrs. Phebe (Nesbit) Morris, born on Feb. 18, 1759. She was the daughter of Uriah Nesbit, and died on November 20, 1840, at Sunbury, Ohio.
Timothy Hopkins removed from Mass. in 1772 to the Wyoming Valley, Pa., and settled in what is now Plymouth, Luzerne county.
In September, 1776, he enlisted as a private in one of the two Wyoming Independent companies, commanded by Captain Samuel Ransom, serving in it until June 28, 1778, when the two companies were consolidated under command of Captain Simon Spalding. This company marched to Wyoming to assist their families, but arrived after the battle (and Massacre) of July 3, 1778. It remained as part of the garrison of Wilkesbarre, and on July 31, 1779, marched under General Sullivan into New York State to exterminate the troublesome Indians. In February 1781, Captain Spalding's company marched from Wilkesbarre to the Hudson river and joined Washington's army. Early in 1782, Timothy Hopkins was mustered out of service. (Harvey Book (1889) P. 301)
Please give us the official records of Timothy Hopkins and tell us whether the record given above is substantially correct.
Thanking you in advance for this information, I am,
Sincerely yours,
