“Some others bought lands or made claims and did some work during the summer and autumn but did not move until the spring of 1831. Of this number were William Crawford, Charles Hopper (Big Charley), and Joshua Hitchcock.” “Hopper selected his home a short distance east of the lone tree... and Hitchcock a little farther east, a part of the Miller Easley farm, same section (18).”

When the Mormons were expelled from Jackson County, some took refuge with members of the extended Hopper family near Lone Jack (Sni-A-Bar Township). Edward and Nancy Larkey recalled, “Bros. Joshua Hitchcock and Ziba Peterson came to us from the Singe, fifteen miles away, and invited usto their settlement, that they with others might aid us to necessary things in our time of want, and we gladly accepted the invitation and went with them.” [personal reminiscence, Saints Herald 26 (1 Jul 1879):165-66]
