NOTES ON CHILDREN:
1. Estelle Hopkins was married second to Floyd Willingham Lollis. All of her children
are by her first husband. She told me that her father, Martin Albert Hopkins, moved his
family from Rabun Co., Ga. in 1905. They moved by horse and waggon. She said they crossed
a river and the water came into the waggon and they had to stop over by the river and
unload the waggon to let everything dry out before they could continue. Her mother was
pregnant when they moved with Oscar Dewey, the last child.
