The Hopkins Family Crest

These arms present a special interest, as they were granted by the Royal Government, in 1764, to an American citizen, Captain Joseph Hopkins, of Maryland. He cannot positively be indentified, but was probably the Captain Hopkins mentioned in the Diary of the Siege of Detroit, in MunselPs Historical Series, No. 4. The editor, Mr. F. B. Hough, appends a note stating that the said Captain Hopkins ""had charge of a Company of Rangers, and in the numerous skirmishes and sorties that occurred during the siege is often mentioned as having had the command.
