I am a 3rd GreatGrandson of Samuel Hopson and Lucinda Stuart, who were married in Christian Co Kentucky Jan 2 1815. In 1818 Samuel and Lucinda and their first 3 children moved to Mound Prairie, Hempstead County, Arkansas Territory. Arkansas would not become a State until 1836. Samuel and Lucinda had 17 children, the last 14 being born in Mound Prairie, which would become Columbus, Arkansas which is near Washington, Ark the county seat in the Territorial Days of Arkansas, during early Statehood, and up until Hope, Arkansas became the County Seat of Hempstead...in 1939. Samuel and Lucinda are buried in 16th Section Cemetery in Mound Prairie. Lucinda Stuart Hopson's parents Abraham Stuart and Mary Kuykendall, are also buried in this cemetery, in Mound Prairie, along with Abraham's mother - Sarah Elizabeth Fulkerson Stuart.
