Samuel H. Hopwood had red hair. On the 1860 Census of Arkansas, showing the 
white men living in the Indian Nations, Samuel is listed as a wagon maker for 
the Creek Nation.

Sally [Posey Hopwood] and her children are on the Old Settlers Roll and
Payment for 1856 and 1857.

		Notation! "Omitted by mistake from Census Roll of Town,
		and now added."

Note! I had thought the last four people who appeared on the 1859 Old Settlers 
Census with Sarah Hopwood were Sarah's and Samuel's children, but I believe 
"Nancy" was Sarah's mother, Nancy Posey. Lucinda Hopwood had married Stephen 
Shelton Smith by then and Crockett is their son, David Crockett Smith. Francis 
is probably Francis Posey, a nephew to Sally (Posey) Hopwood.
