    • Marriage Info; Source M I Haley Hopper. Not verified as yet, Nov. 2002 I have not found this marriage as yet, 2006 hw.

      Haven't been able to verify this marriage date from the usual sources, but again M. I. Haley Hopper, was a thorough Haley researcher and perhaps her source was a Family record in a Family Bible - and as Ms M I Haley Hopper is now deceased - I cannot verify further with her. 2017 hw
