Y. 1849 Joshua V.H. Clark Vol. 2 pp. 124-5.Two brothers Andreas and Matthias Hopper, originally in Dutch writtenHoppen, came from Holland. Andreas settled in N. J. and Matthias on ManhattenIsland. John Hopper of the line of Matthias, who also had grants alongthe Hudson, had sons Andrew, Yellis and Wessel.

Y. and who died in Onondaga County in 1848 (Note byJHF; This could refer to the cousins near Syracuse mentioned in notes madeby Rockwell Hopper's daughter Hannah)54
