Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 217-218:
David Hopgood, who is well located on Lot 277, Talbot Road South, Gosfield North, County of Essex, is a prosperous farmer and a true son of Canada, having been born on his present farm, March 22, 1855, son of James and Eliza (Jones) Hopgood.
     James Hopgood was born in England in 1809, and the mother in 1811. She was a daughter of James Jones, who came to Canada and settled on the Talbot Road in the County of Essex. The same sailing vessel which brought the Jones family to the Dominion, brought also young James Hopgood, and the acquaintance then begun resulted in marriage after landing in Canada. The young couple settled in Huron County for two years, and then came to Talbot street, where Mr. Hopgood bought 100 acres of land of a Mr. Cummiford. A few words will suffice to tell that this wild land was cleared and later cultivated, but they give little idea of the toil and perseverance necessary to transform the wilderness into the good farm which Mr. Hopgood later possessed, and lived long enough to enjoy. His death took place Oct. 9, 1877, and that of his widow in October, 1889. They were most worthy, pious people, founders of the Methodist Church, and were both respected and beloved. Politically Mr. Hopgood favored the principles of the Reform party, but never aspired to office, contenting himself with his private business and the care of his family. The children born to James Hopgood and his wife were as follows: ... James, born in the County of Essex, married Adelia Williams, a sister of Thomas Williams, and he resides in Essex, engaged in a butchering business; his wife died leaving two children, Darius and Delmar...
