In 1915 a descendant, Florence Hopewell, interviewed some of her elderly relatives and wrote that "It is through John Hopewell Sr'.s wife, Sarah Edwards, that the Hopewells are thought to be heirs of that billion or so dollars estate in NY city!"  She also noted that Sarah Edwards was born in Bourbon Co., KY of Scotch-Irish descendants.
