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: ... 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...

Peter Gilboe, a retired farmer of Gosfield North ... was born in Gosfield South, near Olinda, Sept. 14, 1832.
     Joseph and Elizabeth (Wigle) Gilboe, his parents, were among the earliest settlers of the County of Essex. The former was born in Quebec in 1805... Mrs. Elizabeth W. Gilboe was born in Gosfield township, County of Essex, in 1808, daughter of Wendel and Mary Wigle, who came to Canada from Pennsylvania at the time of the immigration of the U. E. Loyalists, and settled and died in Gosfield.
     After Mr. Gilboe's marriage he settled first at Olinda, in Gosfield South, where he cleared up a farm and erected a hotel... He then moved to the present farm on Talbot street... His wife died at this home in 1856, which he survived till 1882, when he died at the home of one of his sons, in Michigan. He and his wife were among the founders of Methodism in that section of the country...
     Peter Gilboe grew up on his father's farm... he worked by the day till he had earned enough to buy forty acres of his father's homestead, when he began farming for himself...
     Christmas Day, 1855, witnessed the marriage of Mr. Gilboe to Miss Abigail Neville, born in Gosfield North in June, 1835, the daughter of Francis and Nancy (Williams) Neville. They were of Welsh origin, and settled in Gosfield at about the same time with Joseph Gilboe. They passed the rest of their lives in that township, and were among the well-to-do and highly respected pioneers. Of the nine children of Peter and Abigail Gilboe, all born on the present farm, seven are living: ... (2) Isadore is the wife of Grover Hopgood, who resides on his farm on the Talbot Road, in Gosfield; they have one daughter, Dell...
