We have a handwritten family record from approximately 1818 for my Proffitt/Hatton (Haton/Hayton?) ancestors which lists Nancy Haton/Hayton/Hatton's first husband as William Hopwood.He died in Shenandoah in September 1763.Nancy and William's child, William Hopwood, was born in Orange Co. VA on February 9, 1764.
I hope this may help unravel your William Hopwoods.By the way, Nancy Haton/Hatton/Hayton was born on the Pamunkey River in Spotsylvania, Va in 1748.She may have met William Hopwood in this area (or Shenandoah).I am trying to find her parents. Is there anything in the Hopwood genealogy which might help me out? Are there any references to Haton/Hatton/Hayton? Families with one marriage often had other cousins etc. marrying, or references in wills, etc.I would greatly appreciate any clues.

Hi Everyone:
The following information may not of benefit to everyone on this list; but to those who descend from David Proffitt-English line.
Hopefully, everyone is familiar with the Genealogical Report of David Proffitt and Nancy Haton which was recorded at his residence in Sullivan County, Tennessee on October 31, 1818. At the end of this report are some other surnames which have been
unaccounted for. The following will clear up the surname of Hopwood.
Rev. War Pension of William Hopwood VA # S2324
William Hopwood, on the 31st day of October 1832, a resident of Richland Twp., Fairfield County, Ohio, aged 68 on the 9th of February . . . . . He listed his service as from Shenandoah County, Virginia. He also stated that when he was discharged after serving two months and went home at the time that his stepfather, David Profit was drafted. He stated that he went in as a substitute for him. Other information also given about other short term service. William Hopwood died October 18, 1833.
This will prove that Nancy Haton was married prior to David Proffitt. Notes from the Genealogical Report are as follows: William Hopwood son of William Hopwood and Ann or Nancy Hopwood was born in Orange County, Virginia on the 9th February 1764. William Hopwood Sen. died on the Hawks Hill South Fork of Shenandoah River in that county on September 20, 1763.
I thought this information might help someone.
