GENERAL SAMUEL HOPKINS was a man of no inconsiderable distinction in
Kentucky, and is elsewhere mentioned in this history.  He was a good man,
of untarnished reputation, and of great popularity.  He was born in
Albemarle County, Virginia, and served with distinction in the
Revolutionary War, having fought at Princeton, Trenton, Monmouth,
Brandywine, and Germantown; and also as a lieutenant colonel of a Virginia
regiment at the siege of Charleston.  He removed to Kentucky in 1797, and
served a number of years in the State Legislature.  In the year 1812 he
led, as has before been stated, two thousand troops against the Kickapoo
Indians.  He was a Representative in Congress from Kentucky from 1813 to
1815.  He died October, 1819, at a very advanced age.
