LAND PATENT DETAILS State: Wisconsin-Jeptha Hopkins #15973 November 10, 1855 80 acres Land Office: Mineral Point-N1/2 BE Sec. 14 Twnshp 1N Rge 3E 4th PM-1831 Minnesota/Wisconsin State Wisconsin Counties Lafayette--Jeptha Hopkins, of Ashtabula county, Ohio (on certificate)
Compendium of History Reminiscence and Biography of Nebraska-1912
"Jeptha Hopkins, proprietor of one of the most valuable estates in Antelope county, Nebraska, has been a resident of that locality for many years. He is prominently known throughout the state as one of the foremost farmers and stockmen in Nebraska, and, after many years' hard labor in building up his business, is now prepared to enjoy the remaining years of his life in peace and comfort, surrounded by a host of good friends and acquaintances. However, he still looks after his farming interests. A picture of his residence will be found on another page.
Mr. Hopkins, a native of Cortland county, New York, was born April 17, 1833. With his parents, he went to Ashtabula county, Ohio, when he was but three years old, living there twenty years. Then he went to Lafayette county, Wisconsin, residing there six years. Mr. Hopkins enlisted in the army during the civil war, enlisting August 12, 1862, joining Company C, Thirty-third Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, and during his service was down through the south with General Sherman, until "the march to the sea," and then, under General Thomas, fighting Hood through Tennessee. He was mustered out August 23, 1865, with rank of second lieutenant. He took part in the following battles: Coldwater, Mississippi; Siege of Vicksburg, Mississippi; Jackson, Mississippi; Pleasant Hill Landing; Clantierville, Louisiana; Cane River, Louisiana; Yellow Bayou, Louisiana; Tupelo, Mississippi; Nashville, Tennessee; Spanish Fort, Alabama; the Mexican Expedition, Marksville, Louisiana, and Bayou Boeuf.
Mr. Hopkins came to Antelope county, Nebraska, in November, 1870, driving from Wisconsin to the homestead claim he had taken up, which was located in section four, township twenty-four, range five, and which remains the home of our subject to this day. On this land he first built a log house, which he covered with sod, it being a very comfortable home in those days. Mr. Hopkins experienced the many hardships and disappointments incident to those earliest days, when it required almost incredible courage to brave the western frontier. He suffered losses of all description, three consecutive years, losing his entire crops by the grasshopper raids; also experienced a similar loss in the dry year of 1894, and many times fought prairie fires to save his home and possessions.
Mr. Hopkins was united in marriage September 17, 1865, to Miss Emelia True. Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins are the parents of four children, named as follows: Junie, who died February 28, 1890; Robert; Elmer, who is married to Miss Lydia McCormick, has four children, and lives at Harrison, Nebraska; and Mina, wife of John Ives, the parents of five children."
ANOTHER PIONEER GONE (Copy of Newspaper Article)
Jeptha Hopkins, son of Gardner Hopkins and or Freelove Parker Hopkins, was born in the town of Virgil, Courtland County, New York, April 17, 1833 and died in Tilden, Nebraska March 22, 1915, at the age of 81 years, 11 months and 5 days, he being the youngest son of a family of eleven children.
The Hopkins family in the United States, are sprung from three brothers bearing that name, who came to the country in early colonial times. One of these brothers settled in Rhode Island, one in New York and one in Virginia. Jeptha comes of the brother who settled in Rhode Island. Stephen Hopkins, one of the Signers of the Declaration or Independence, was the brother of the ancestor of the subject of this sketch.
Jeptha's grandfather was a soldier of the War of the Revolution and his, father served in the War of 1812.
His first presidential vote was cast for Abraham Lincoln when Mr. Lincoln ran for president the first time.
When Jeptha was three years of age, his father moved to the Western Reserve, Ohio, settling near Conneaut. Here Jeptha grew to manhood, remaining at home with the family and either working on his father's farm or as a hired hand on a farm of one the neighbors.
When twenty-one years of age, he left home, going to Gratiot, Lafayette County, Wisconsin. He worked out, usually by the month during most of the year, but in the fall months, generally working with a threshing machine or taking up any employment that came to hand.
At the age of twenty-nine, he enlisted as a private in Company C, 33rd Wisconsin Voluntary Infantry, serving for three years, or until the end of the war. He was soon promoted to the position of corporal and thence through the successive grades to that of 2nd Lieutenant, which position he held at the close of the war. During most of the time for the last three months of service, he had command of his company. His regiment took a prominent part at The siege of Vicksburg and was present when Pemberton surrendered to General Grant. After his discharge from the army, he returned to Conneaut, Ohio for one year, going back to Wisconsin in 1867.
In the Spring of 1870, he came to Antelope County, Nebraska and settled on 80 acres about four miles northwest of the present town of Tilden. After making final proof on his homestead, he bought, at different times, adjacent land, until he owned 600 acres of the finest Elkhorn bottom lands. In February 1912, on account of approaching old age, he moved to Tilden, where he resided at the time of his death.
On September 17, 1865, he was married to Emelia A. True of Wayne, Wisconsin. Four children came of this union, Julia A. who died February 28, 1890; Robert W.; Elmer E.; and Mina, wife of John J. Ives. The children are married and settled near Tilden.
At the election held for the organization of Antelope County, June 15, 1871. Mr. Hopkins was elected sheriff of the county and was re-elected for four consecutive terms, holding the office continuously from the time of the organization to January, 1889.
In 1878, while sheriff he gathered a party of eighteen men and invaded the territory held by Doc
Middleton and his gang of horse and cattle thieves, and on the Keya Peha River, arrested four men of the gang and captured ninety-two head of stolen cattle and horses. This was the first capture made of any of the gang.
During the Indian raids on the settlers of the county in the fall of 1870, a military company of fifty men was organized for home defense. Mr. Hopkins was unanimously elected captain of the company. This company was armed by the Government and furnished with ammunition from the command at Fort Omaha.
Mr. Hopkins was prominent as a citizen in all the early years the county's history. A man of stern integrity and of firm principles, his place in the community will be greatly missed. | Jeptha HOPKINS

(NOTE; William Gideon Hopkins, history was written in 1926)
WILLIAM GIDEON HOPKINS, sixth child of Gardner and Freelove (Parker) Hopkins, was born at Virgil Courtland County, New York in 1830. In 1836, he accompanied his parents from Virgil to
Amboy, Ohio, where he grew to manhood and acquired a good education in the local schools.
To William Gideon's education, he added much practical knowledge, including a thorough knowledge of farming, carpentry, bridge building and house building; he built houses, bridges and other structures in northeastern Ohio, A good mechanic, he was honest and trustworthy, A large portion of the structures built by him are still in use; among them, a wooden bridge spanning Conneaut Creek, still in daily use and remarkably solid and well-preserved, though built over 60 years ago.
In 1853, William became interested in western land; accompanying the Frederick Nelson family to
Wisconsin that year, he bought 80 acres of fine land five miles west of the Village of Gratiot Lafayette County, Wisconsin on what is know as State Highway No. 20. The west line of this 80 acres, at the northwest corner, is marked by the church building known by the name of Kingsley Chapel, which is four rods west across the north-south road and bordered on the north by Highway No. 20. After holding this land for some time, he sold it to William Turtle and concentrated his investments in Ohio property.
In Ohio in 1860, William married Mary Matson, born in 1838 near Amboy, Ohio, daughter of Horace and Emma (Collins) Matson. Horace, born February 11, 1806 in Oswego, New York was the son of Ruben Matson, born at Glastonbury , Connecticut October 12, 1783. Horace married Lois when he was 17 and moved with her to Oswego in April, 1801.
In 1881, William became interested in California fruit lands: in the spring of 1882, he went to California for the purpose of investigating fruit land prospects. The result was that he bought a 20-acre fruit ranch at Lugonia from Asa Carter. This ranch corners on what is now Lugonia Avenue and Alabama Streets, Redlands, California. While in California in June, 1882, he visited his sister, Susan Amelia Bancroft, and her family at their ranch home, known as Columbia Ranch, near Clipper Gap, Placer County, California. On his way back to Ohio, he visited his brothers, Amos Crandall and Jeptha, and their families in Nebraska; he also visited his sister, Cyrene G, Matson and her family near Gratiot, Wisconsin.
Returning to his Ohio home, William disposed of his interests there, and on October 13, 1882, he left Ohio. Accompanying him were his wife, her father; his daughter, Emma: his son, Carlton; and Carlton's bride, Versa. Arriving in Lugonia ten days later, William planned to enjoy his advancing years and old age with his family; but after 18 months of making improvements on his ranch, he was taken sick with typhoid fever and died June 10, 1884. He was buried on his fruit ranch at Lugonia, He had been a life- long member of the Baptist Church.
Thus, in the midst of his plans, his fond hopes were rent in twain and his family sorely grieved. All
through his life, from childhood up, he Laid one plan that failed not, and that plan was to be ready for the heavenly home when tile call came, In a letter written to his brother, Jeptha, dated December 19, 1879, after announcing the death of their father, which occurred so suddenly, he said. "And by this we are admonished to be also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not, the son of man cometh."
Mary (Matson) Hopkins, after residing in Lugonia for 22 years, made her home with her daughter, Emma (Hopkins) Gregory, in Redlands. She died there January, 1913 and was buried in Hillside Cemetery, the funeral services being held from Cortner Brothers Chapel. | William Gideon HOPKINS

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) | Zilpha Ann HOPKINS

Stayed in Europe, probably in or around Skalat. Nothing is known about whether he ever married or not. Margaret, his sister, has said that he was the oldest and kind of kept watch over her. Her stories made it sound like maybe their father was already out of the picture but she never explicitly said so. All that is known about him is that he was friends with a teacher in the school that was right across the street from their house. Other than that, very little information is available about him. | Henry HORWATH

Skalat Location: Tarnopol district, Ukraine Latitude/Longitude: 49°26´/25°59´
Skalat was a small town of maybe 5,000 half of which was Jewish.
The Horwath's lived just across the road from the schoolhouse. The teacher, whom they called "The Professor", wore a large handlebar mustache and when annoyed, he'd twist the end of it. Margaret's mother frequently gave him milk and eggs (which suggests that they owned cows and chickens). He was very good friends with her brother, Henry, which implies that Henry was the oldest and possibly close in age. Because they were so close to a school, the children were educated and couldn't play hooky.
Typical housing of the times were cottages in the "zre~bowo-sl~upowa" style, a.k.a. a thatched hip roof. The exterior of the farmhouses and buildings are brown - weathered wood. The farm buildings were laid out to form a square or rectangular central yard. The typical farm had a cottage for the family and separate building for the livestock and a barn. A middle-size peasant farm from the second half of the 19th century has an interior consisting of a large room called the _s~wietlica_, a small room, and a sleeping chamber. In the large room there is a large stove called a_sabatnik_ with an open fireplace, bread oven and a special place at the back of the stove for sleeping. In the small room there is a fireplace. The living spaces are whitewashed with blue stenciling on the walls. The fireplace might have a small embroidered mantel cloth. Each farmhouse had a corner of the room set aside for the bed(s). Rich and poor peasant alike followed the same tradition of surrounding their sleeping area with holy pictures and a crucifix. The pictures of Jesus and Mary were hung on the wall and decorated with paper or strawflowers.
We know very little about the Horwath family and their circumstances except that they probably had cows, chickens and lots of fruit trees. They probably owned several acres of land. The house had beds built into the walls and a separate pantry off the kitchen. The bedding included feather pillows and covers. These facts don't sound like a poor family's account. In fact, Margaret had many beaded dresses and purses stored away in a trunk during the 1920's which don't sound like a poor immigrant's wardrobe, either. Many neighborhood people said that her accent was high class, so the possibility exists that the family was at least a little well-to-do before coming over to America.
Margaret said she was a tomboy as a child and would frequently climb up into the fruit trees. Her brother, Henry, would yell at her to stay out of the trees and once left her hanging by her foot when she lost her balance and got it caught in a branch, to teach her a lesson. On another occasion, she crawled up into a cherry tree and fell, biting through her tongue. Her father had probably died sometime while Margaret was young because the stories she told about her brother seemed to imply that he was in charge of the family. Her mother died after Margaret had moved to the U.S.A.
Magdalowka and Skalat were formerly situated in Galicia but are now considered as being in the Ukraine. Both cities are in the region of Ternopol (49n26 25e59)
EMIGRATION:
Margaret left Poland because she hated the Cossacks who were showoffs. She also didn't want to work on a farm and hated war. She boarded a German ship called the Kronprinz Wilhelm in the port of Bremen and arrived at Ellis Island, NY on 9 Apr 1912. The ship manifest lists her as Mazda Horwat (she came in under her sister's name), age 19 and single. Her residence is listed as Moutuka, Galicia. She almost had to return to Europe because she had "Pink Eye" (conjunctivitis). She went into quarantine until it cleared up. Then she lived temporarily with her sister, Anna Gabryluk, in Amsterdam, NY. She was probably there less than a year before moving in with her sister Hedwig Mudry (Mondry) in Cleveland. There, she was sick with pneumonia and almost died. She was operated on under the arms (??? -- not sure what that implies)
OCCUPATION:
Worked as a chambermaid at the Statler Hotel in downtown Cleveland. It was at this hotel that she met her future husband, Frank, who was a window washer and a buddy of Frank Horwath who also worked there. Caroline Myczkowski and Kunigunda Macek were other family members who worked at the Hotel Statler.
AKA: Maggie, Magadalena
Margaret was known as witty and very outspoken.

The surname was originally spelled HORWAT by this family. The ending "H" was added later.
HORWATH origins (or Horwat or Horwatt)
[info provided by dbabic@tethys.phy.hr]
Many of historicians agree that a tribe of (probably) Iranian origin, named Hu-ur-vatha (probably meaning friend) came to the area around todays Krakow in 6th or early 7th century. They were asimilated by Slavs of this area, but gave their name to surrounding Slavs, and organized them in something what later in todays Croatia became a nation. It is worthwhile to note that many experts in Slavic linguistics claim that it is impossible to construct the name "Hrvat" by using solely Slavic linguistic rules.
By the legend (mentioned also in chronicles of Constantin Porfirogenet, a Byzantium ruler) todays Croats (in Croatian - Hrvati) came to western Balkan peninsula in the first half of the 7th century, and were led by seven brothers and two sisters, of which the most important was one with the name Hrvat.
In Croatian history, the first homeland of Croats, in south Poland, is called "White Croatia". I have found a support to this idea in one German book, where in 11th century there is "Kroatien" in todays Croatia, but also a province in Kingdom of Poland called "Chrobatien". Of course, this name for the area around Krakow ceased to exist later, and has no real meaning today. So, contrary to the Hungarian name Horvath, which is closely related to todays Croats, any north-Slavic name of this sort is just a memory on the ancient times, and cannot be related to todays Croatian nationality.
[opposing viewpoint provided by armata@vms.cis.pitt.edu]
I take the opposite view. Surnames developed so late in Poland, even more so for the peasants than the nobles, that I find it hard to relate a Horvath surname in Poland that was probably chosen or assigned in the late 1600-1700s to the White Croatia of 1000 years ago. As you point out, this term passed into oblivion long ago without a local trace. Also note the spelling, especially the -th ending, which is not found in Polish. For what it's worth, this looks to me like a clearly Hungarian name, referring to Croatia. That it wound up in Poland is not at all surprising, given the proximity of the 2 countries and the heavy trade they carried on in the old days (e.g., a Croatian carter named Horvath in Hungarian bringing up a wagon of Hungarian wine to Poland could have decided to stay in Poland, got married & started the line). Joe armata@vms.cis.pitt.edu
[further thoughts provided by spiridan@ASAHI.COM.AU]
Also, there is some evidence, of semi-legendary nature that the Hrvati, or Croats, emerged from the Bug-Dnieper-White Carpathian region at the time of the great Slavic mgrations, and part of the nation remained behind in this region, thus giving their name to place names, regions and people.
SKALAT
City and railway station in the Pidvolochysk district on the Hnyla river. Population: 5,000. First mentioned in documented sources in 1564.
CASTLE, 1630. Once surrounded by a deep ditch. Towers with battlements are located on the defensive walls. Large sections of the castle have been preserved.
1) Encyklopedia Powszechna T. 23. Rok 1866.
2) Encyklopedia Powszechna Krowlewstwa Polskiego T. 10. Rok 1889.
According to the 1866 "Encyklopedia Powszechna," Skalat was originally under
Russian rule. In the second half of the nineteenth century, Skalat is under the
jurisdiction of Galicia, near the Ganila River. An old fortress, built in the sixteenth
century for defence purposes, made the city well-known. During this time, there
were about 3000 residents.
"Encyklopedia Powszechna," published in 1889, has more details about the town.
At the end of the nineteenth century, Skalat was a district (Miasto Powiatowe) in
eastern Galicia, southeast of Ternopol. In 1870, there were 4952 residents, 2553 of
them Jews.
According to Korpetnicki in "Geography of Galicia" from 1786, Skalat was the
property of the Terlov family of Czecanowicz. The property was transferred to the
Poniatowski princes and they sold it around 1869 to a Jew named Ziskind
Rosenstock.
Ziskind Rosenstock was a famous Jew in his time and a baron. One of his
descendants, Alexander, became a Christian. He sold the Skalat lands. In 1920,
Josef Tenenbaum bought the Novosiolka lands from him. | Michael HORWATH

(From the Cumberland Times -- Outdoors with Mike Sawyer):
For 15 years, Cumberland's Dale Horwath has worked on his own, learning about early American history, both from the side of the frontiersman and from the side of the Native American.
As he read, researched and learned everything he could about the period, he began to focus on Indians, especially on bows and arrows, which he started to craft.
"I've become deeply involved with making primitive bows," Horwath said recently at his Leiper Street home.
That might be putting it mildly.
Horwath, who works fulltime for CSX, became so good at making flat bows, also called self bows because they come from one piece of wood, that his bows have appeared in three movies. He got his break in the world of movie props via his distant cousin Lee Teeter, a well known artist and historian now living in Wyoming who was a consultant for the movie "Last of the Mohicans." Horwath made 33 bows for that flick.
In addition, he constructed 30 African style bows for "Heart of Darkness" and a dozen or so 10th century European bows for "Dragon Heart." | Stanley Dale HORWATH

Laura Hotchkiss, daughter of Benjamin Hotchkiss and Elizabeth Tyrell,
became the wife of Mr. Goodwin and of this union seven children were born,
four boys and three girls: Isaac, Lewis, Edwin A., Albert S., Emmerett, Nancy
and Lucinda. Isaac early learned the mason trade at which he worked in New
Haven, Connecticut and neighboring towns before his conversion to Mormonism by
Elder ElishaDavis. By 1846, he was so thoroughly imbued with the Latter-day
Saint spirit,that when the call came to move west he sold his property for
almost nothing and, on February 4, 1846, at about the same time the Nauvoo
Saints were first ready to cross the plains, Isaac and family took passage on
the ship Brooklyn.These converts did not know exactly where they were going,
only that they wereto join the Saints from Nauvoo somewhere in the West.
Our Pioneer Heritage, Vol. 3, p.543
Unfortunately, during a storm on this voyage, Isaac's wife, Laura, who was
an expectant mother, was thrown down a hatchway and after a prolonged illness,
died May 6, 1846 just as the ship rounded the Horn. They were closeenough to
the Isle of Juan Fernandez when death occurred, so that Laura was buried there
on Goat Island.
Ten of their number had died, all but one, LauraGoodwin, the mother of
seven young children had been buried in the cold unimpressionable ocean. Laura
Goodwin was buried in the Juan Fernandez Islands on the very isle where
Alexander Selkirk, the real Robinson Crusoe had lived and awaited rescue.
Elder Brannan delivered a wonderful funeral sermon at the burialservice of
Laura Goodwin eulogizing motherhood, its place in the eternal worlds even
before the worlds were created. The two or three families that lived on the
little island and could not understand English and crew of the Brooklynsat
spellbound at the sincere comfort of this first Mormon sermon preached inthe
Southern hemisphere that autumn day May 4, 1846.
Her death left Isaac with the problem of caring for seven motherless
children, the eldest of whom wasonly thirteen years of age. After a short
stop at Honolulu, the ship sailed onreaching her destination, California, the
last day of July, 1846. | Laura HOTCHKISS
