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: Nancy, born in the County of Huron, married John Gilboe, who removed to Pontiac, Michigan, where she died, leaving five children, Demarias, Sylvester, Theodore, Aywida and Elmer. John, born at Port Huron, married Miss Jane Williams, and now resides in the County and town of Essex. They had three children: Evelyn, who died in infancy; Horatio, deceased; and Ida, who married Dr. Arthur Scott, and moved to Owosso, Michigan where their only child, Flossy, was born, and where Mrs. Scott died when her child was but two years old. 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. Henry, born in the County of Essex, married Susan Robinson, and they settled on a farm in Maidstone township, where he died in 1893, leaving his widow with four children, Arthur, Alexander, Elizabeth and Adeline, the last named since deceased. Jane, born at the present homestead, married Robert Fish, who resides on a farm in Mersea township, and they have had children, Carrie, Edith, Minnie, Jessie, Maud and Forest, the last named now deceased. Grove, born in 1848, married Miss Isadore Gilboe, who died leaving one daughter, Effa D., now the wife of Harry Jerry, of Gosfield; he married for his second wife Theresa Gardiner, and for his third, Georgianna Coleman, and they reside on a part of the old Hopgood homestead. Ellen, born in 1851, is the wife of John Kay, of Gosfield North, and they have two children, Nora and Alvin. Matilda, born in 1858, is the youngest member of the family, and the wife of Arthur Lane, who fills a government position in British Columbia. They had children, Ajie, Clarence, Mina and Grace. David, whose name introduces this sketch, was the youngest son.
