Additional Details

A list of the names of 15 children with their birth dates - 1742 to 1774. A fascinating list presumably written by Joseph Hopkins, a man whose name appears on subsequent pages and whose initial is found on the fore-edge. At the foot of page 664 someone has written in the same hand as the writing of the list, "Sin and Sorrow are Constant Constant."
