Samuel and Sally (Posey) Hopwood lived the rest of their lives in the Creek 
Nation, except for the time during the Civil War when a lot of the Creek Indian 
families went to a place near the Red River and lived in tents until the end of 
the War. During the Civil War, the Indian lands were overrun by soldiers and 
others, plundering and destroying the homes and farms of the Creek Indians, and 
others of the Five Civilized Tribes.

After the War, Samuel and Sally Hopwood and other Creek families went back home 
to their lands in the Creek Nation and found their homes destroyed. On 14 June 
1866, the United States government, after abolishing the former Creek Treaties 
because most of the Creeks had fought on the side of the South, made a new 
treaty with the Creeks. The Creek Indians gave up part of their land to the 
United States, on which the United States settled one of the minor Indian 
Tribes. In return for this, the United States gave the Creek Indians money to 
rebuild their homes and farms. A roll of the Creek Indians was taken,
called the "Dunn Roll." Samuel and Sally Hopwood and their children
appear on this roll.
