I just received more info about Andrew Jackson Hopper from J. Lynn Peterson, another descendent of William Henry Harrison Rhodes.According to her data and the 1850 Census (Cape Girardeau, MO, page 357), AJH was born 5 Oct 1826 in TN and died 31 Dec 1857 in Cape Girardeau, MO.He is buried in Hitt Cemetery (On the farm of Mrs. Horace Hitt, about six miles northwest of Cape Girardeau) with a tombstone inscription "Oct. 5, 1826 - aged 31 (years), 2 (months), 26 (days)"
This data would be consistent with Harriet marrying William Henry Harrison Rhodes 13 Nov 1859.
Apparently AJH and Harriet had a daughter, Rachel C. Hopper, born about 1848, married John A. Waddle in Cape Girardeau County in August 1867.
This would make this AJH of different descent than we thought.Does anyone have additional info on this?
