A portrait of the father, Thomas Hopkinson, is given herein; he was a man of importance in the com- munity, a judge. He was born in England, but came to America early in life and married Mary Johnson. They had a family of children of great intelli- gence ; all were musicians, some were artists — their 724 Two Centuries of Costume descendants are both ; the best known was Francis Hoplcinson, called "the Signer, " from his "signa- ture of honour" on the Declaration of Indepen- dence. From their m...other they inherited great delicacy of features, which in the men members of the family sometimes became too delicate — as in the case of Francis. President John Adams gives a lively picture of the " Signer " : — " He is liberally educated, a painter and poet. He is one * of your pretty little curious ingenious men. His head is not bigger than a large apple. I have not met with any- thing in natural history more amusing and entertaining than his personal appearance, yet he is genteel and well bred and very social.
