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. More research needs to done on the Darby Hopper family to further establish this relationship.

I was married the last day of May, 1827. My first child was born on the 10th day of May 1828. We called her name Elizabeth. It was then my trouble began for I found I was a mother and the responsibilities of a mother were upon me. My health grew bad. One of my husband's brothers wife died. Then my husband traded his interest in the homestead for his brother's land. This was in 1828 and in the year 1829 the great hue and cry came about the State of Missouri. It surley was the garden of Eden. His father, brothers, and sister and brother-in-law all began to shape their affairs to go to that state. They were determined that we should go with them. I plead with my husband to stay until the death of my parents, which he made up his mind to do as I wished. We had plenty to make us comfortable but stripped ourselves of property to buy the old homestead back again. We then had more land than we could keep in cultivation. About this time my second child was born and we called him William Dorris Hendricks.
This places Abraham Hendrick Jr's first wife's death in 1828. It is very probable that she died giving birth to their last child Eleanor or to complications there of.

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.
