In her youth, she secured employment at a cigar factory near her home on a farm that later became the home of her brother, Henry. It was at this factory that she met Charles Warren Kellogg, who was born February 5, 1820 at Sparta, Livingston County, New York. Moving to Virgil from Sparta, Charles found employment there.

Zilpha Ann and Charles were married by James Merry June 15, 1843 at Conneaut, Ohio. Soon, they moved to Streetsboro, Ohio and started making cigars. After moving to Bedford, Ohio, they continued this business on a small farm one-and-one-half miles north of the village. There she raised her family of ten children and assisted her husband at cigar making until her eyesight failed.

About this time, the revenue became so high on cigars that her husband had to abandon this work and find other employment outside of the farm work. Zilpha died January 24, 1874 and was buried in the cemetery at Bedford, Ohio. Her husband was an invalid for seven years and confined to his bed until his death September 3, 1907. He also was buried in the Bedford Cemetery. (Hopkins genealogy)

Conneaut Reporter--December 25, 1879
"HOPKINS--In Amboy, Dec. 10th, Instantly of apoplexy, at his residence, Gardner Hopkins, aged 84 years. He was a native of Rhode Island and the last of a family of ten children of Oliver Hopkins, a soldier of the Revolution."

Ashtabula Telegraph 26 Dec. 1879 (copy sent by Peggy Kimbell)
CONNEAUT
My Dear Old Telegraph:--"The cold chilly winds of December are upon us, and if we have all done our duty we are prepared for them, as we have had sufficient warning.
Last week two quite sudden deaths occurred in out midst. One a Mr. Garner Hopkins, who lived near Amboy station, had been threshing for a neighbor with a flail, came home and while sitting in his chair with the family, suddenly ceased to breathe, and that was all the struggle he had to pass away. He was a very robust, hearty man for one of his age--85. Some fifty years ago he was a resident of Ashtabula, and lived near Bunker Hill. The other was Stephen B. Hopkins, a nephew of Garner. He had been a resident of the borough for the past eight years. He was formerly from Pierpont, and I believe was one of the pioneers of that township. He was one of the most successful deer hunters on the Reserve. The Hopkins family were natives of Rhode Island, and descended of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence." {Stephen Hopkins, Signer of the Declaration of Independence was actually a second cousin twice removed.}

"Gardner Hopkins was born in 1796 at Foster, Rhode Island. He married Freelove Parker, who was born August 12, 1798 at Scituate, Rhode Island. The marriage took place in 1817. They were located at Virgil, Courtland County, New York, where he followed the occupation of farming. Gardner was a cooper by trade, but being poor, not getting on as well as he wished and with a view of bettering the family's condition, he determined to pull up stakes and go west. They moved to Amboy, Ashtabula County, Ohio, four miles west of Conneaut, Ohio, on the Western Reserve, where he did some farming." (Hopkins genealogy)
