"CALEB HOOPES, a retired farmer and well respected citizen of Toughkenamon, is
a son of Benjamin and Phebe (Pennock) Hoopes, and was born in New Garden town-
ship, Chester county, Pennsylvania, March 15, 1817. He was reared on the home
farm, received his education in the common and select schools of his native
township, and then engaged in farming in New Garden until 1868, then at West-
town Farm for seven years. He then, in 1875, removed to his present home at
Toughkenamon, and within the last few years has retired from active life.

"Mr. Hoopes is very comfortably situated to enjoy the fruits of his many years
of labor. He is a republican in politics, has held various township offices,
and is one of the substantial and reliable citizens of New Garden township.
He is a member of the New Garden meeting, Orthodox Society of Friends.

"On November 20, 1845, Mr. Hoopes united in marriage with Mary, daughter of
Aaron Cooper, of Sadsbury township, Chester county, Pennsylvania. They have
five children, two sons and three daughters: Benjamin P., who married Julia
Walter, and is a farmer in Lancaster county; Priscilla, wife of Mark Hughes,
a farmer of London Grove township; Phebe, who married Henry Palmer, a farmer
of the above named township; and Edwin A., who married Susanna Walter, and is
in the dyewood business in Chester, Delaware county, Pennsylvania.

"The Hoopes family of Chester county, of which Caleb Hoopes is a member, is
one of the oldest families of the State. His paternal grandfather, Jonathan
Hoopes, was born in Chester county, where he passed his life. He was a shoe-
maker by trade, a Friend in religion, and a republican in politics during the
last years of his life. He married Elizabeth Bane, and their children were:
Tamzin, William, Margaret, Jane, Israel, Elizabeth, Benjamin, James, Phoebe,
Joel, Thomas, and Susannah. Benjamin Hoopes (father), the third son, was born
August 15, 1782. He learned the trade of shoemaker, but was principally
engaged in farming until his death, which occurred July 31, 1860, at seventy-
eight years of age. He was a republican and an Orthodox Friend, and married
for his first wife Elizabeth Marshall, who died and left four children:
William, Anna, Lydia, and Phineas. His second wife was Phebe Pennock, a
daughter of Caleb Pennock. She was born July 21, 1783. By his second
marriage, Benjamin Hoopes had six children: Pennock, Caleb, Elizabeth Cooper,
Benjamin, Jr., Phebe Cooper, and Samuel."
