Hopkins Family Cemetery, Town of Centerville, Allegany County, NY
1833-1887; Rushford Road, Town of Centerville, Allegany County, NY.
"All of the stones in this cemetery have fallen over, a few have broken. They are surprisingly still easy to read."
"Centerville & the Allegany County Historian had no information on this cemetery at all when I stumbled across it after purchasing the property where it lies. This cemetery is about 1000' back from the road with no access by car, and is in a small treed area in the middle of a pasture."

Hello Again Ron,
I am the direct descent of the Hopkins you have listed from Cheryl. Which she and I have been in contact before, I traveled to the cemetery. Clark & Phebe Hopkins had 10 children.
Here is the brief lineage of my family if you wish to add to the information; I have been researching my families (6 main lines & 6 collaterals) for over 19 years. My direct line is thru John & Sally Hopkins (my G-G grandparents).
I am d/o Jerry Lee Emerson (great-grandson of Fred Harvey Emerson aka “Rattle Snake Pete”) and Dawn Elaine Hopkins (great-great-granddaughter of Clark Hopkins & Phebe Morrill).
Sincerely,
Karen M. Klos (email by tapping name)
