(VI) Hopkins, son of Jeremiah Crosby, was born in Lewis County, New York, and there became a successful farmer. He married Mary Porter, of the same vicinity, whose parents also came from New England. Some years after marriage Mr. Crosby's health began to fail, and he sought a change of climate. With his wife and four small children he proceeded to Tioga County, Pennsylvania, where he began farming on a small scale. The change greatly benefited his health, and by industry and self-denial he was able to add to his holdings and achieved success in life.
