Thank you to Dr. Harrison Hoppes and Denise Kern who provided most of the information for the Hoppes ancestors prior to 1900 on their web site. Hoppes Generations. Doctor Hoppes's book "Swiss Roots: A History Of The Hoppes Family To 1800" is a must read for anyone researching the Hoppes lineage.
The late Florence Shaw Hastings and Harriet Leonard Stone provided most of the data on the Leonard and Clarke families though their work with the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Richard Wells II provided much of the information on the Swenson and Swain families.
Their work is gratefully acknowledged.
