The Simpson Co., Court House burned down in 1878 leaving us to guess at many of these marriages. Considering the names of Abrham's first children it is probable that his wife was a sister to Forester Hopper who married Elizabeth Hendricks,daughter of Henry Hendricks of Weakley Co., TN. Forester was the son of Darby Hopper who lived in Simpson Co., KY around 1820. The Hoppers were an early Rockingham Co., NC family who where members of the Matrimony Creek Baptist Church of Abraham and Charlotte Hendricks. If Abraham Jr's wife did die in child birth it is probable that the surviving child, Eleanor, retained her name.

If Abraham Hendricks Jr. would have married before 1819 then a record probably would have been preserved in the Warren Co., KY. Marriage Registers. But since they were probably married in 1819 the marriage was recorded in the newly formed Simpson Co., KY archives. The Simpson Co., Court House burned down in 1878 destroying almost all of the records. Elizabeth their first daughter was born in 1820 placing their marriage in 1819 or early 1820.
