• 1900 Census for District 19, Lincoln County, Tennessee, shows John Hopkins, born Oct 1861, a farmer, and his family: Mary J., born Feb 1867, who has had five children, all still living; son Isham N., born May 1887; daughter Nancy N., born June 1889; son Alexander, born Oct 1891; son John C., born Nov 1893; and son James C., born July 1895. They own their own farm and are on the same census page as Jesse Towry, Mary Jane Towry's brother. Smith Towry, Jesse and Mary Jane's father, is on the next page, as is their sister, Sara Towry McAlister Rogers.

• 1910 Census for District 19, Lincoln County, Tennessee, shows John Hopkins, age 48, a farmer, and his family: Nancy J., age 42, his wife of 25 years who has had ten children, with nine still living; son Silas A., age 17; son John C., age 16; son James C., age 14; son Doctor E., age 9; daughter Lucy E., age 6; son George E., age 4; and daughter Alberta, age 2.

• 1920 Census for District 19, Lincoln County, Tennessee, shows this family: John H. Hopkins, age 58, a farmer; wife Mary J., age 52; son John C., age 26; son James C., age 24; son Herbert, age 18; daughter Lucy, age 16; son Elbert, age 14; daughter Alberta, age 11. They own land on Taft Rd., and live next door to son Isom and his family.

• 1930 Census for District 19, Lincoln County, Tennessee, shows John H. Hopkins, age 68, a farmer, and wife Mary J., age 63. Son George E., age 24, also lives in the household. They own their own farm on Phillips and Fayetteville Rds.

1930 Census for District 19, Lincoln County, Tennessee, also shows farmer John T. Hopkins, age 64, a widower, who lives with: son Lowell, age 25; son Murray, age 26; and daughter Etelka, age 20. They own a farm on Jackson Hwy. He was born in Alabama, and the mother of the children was born in Tennessee. They are on the same census page as Morgan Towry, Mary Jane Towry's nephew. Is this the real husband and family of Mary Jane Towry? However, 1920 Census for Dist 19 shows John T. Hopkins, age 54, with wife Dora, age 52, and the same children; so, this is probably NOT the right John Hopkins. Is the initial wrong?
