Documentation: Early information showed the wife of James David Hopper to
be Sara Frances Huff.The 1870 Census of Pickens County, Al. shows J. D.
Hopper & Wife S. J. Hopper and their 6 oldest Children along with 3 Huff
Children; Frances Huff, Age 17, Tabitha Huff, Age 15 and Manerva Huff age
13. All born in South Carolina. In Sept. of 2003 I located a deed for
property in Deed Book 5, Page 264 at the Lamar County Court House , which
shows James D. Hopper & wife S. J. Hopper Executing a deed of trust to W.
J. Lampkin for 240 acres of the land that was previously owned by John
Hays and sold by the executor of his estate A. J. Hays. It is believed
that S. J. Hopper may have been a Huff and the sister of the Huff
children living in the household, but this is unproven. After the death
of S. J., James David Hopper married Martha unknown and is enumerated in
the 1880 census with wife Martha.
