Wallingford/Jarlov Family Trees

Caleb Hopkinson Jr. was born in Bradford, Essex County, Massachusetts 7 January 1681. Caleb died 9 November 1730, in Bradford, Essex County, Massachusetts, at 49 years of age.(97) His death record from the Bradford Second Congregational Church in East Bradford (later Groveland) reads, "bro't to his end by the turning over of a Cart on him." He was buried in the old cemetery in East Bradford (now Groveland), Mass.(98) He married Martha Spofford, 19 December 1705, in Bradford, Essex County, Massachusetts.(99)

Martha was born 16 May 1686.(100) Martha was the daughter of John Spaford and Sarah Wheeler. Martha died 22 May 1735, probably in Bradford, Mass., at 49 years of age. She was buried in the old cemetery in East Bradford (now Groveland), Mass.(101) The Spofford genealogy states that she married second Ebenezer Kimball and died 9 November 1730, being buried in the Groveland, Mass. cemetery. This date is a mistake and is actually the death date of her first husband Caleb Hopkinson. He was called "Ensign" Caleb. They had nine children.(102) In 1727 he was awarded guardianship of his late cousin Nicholas Wallingford's 14-year old son David.(103)
