I am interested in the Hoppers in Wisconsin. I have a ggg aunt Elizabeth Clayton who married William Hopper in Iowa County Wisconsin in August 1845. They lived in Mifflin and Linden Wisconsin before heading for Pottawattamie County Iowa in 1876.
Does anyone know of this William Hopper? I am interested in knowing of his parents, as well as what happened to his children, Mary (Osborne), Jane (Stevens), Elizabeth (Weston),
John, James Clayton and Anna.
Thank you for any information.
