7 M vi. Haddon Hopkins was born on 18 Dec 1713 in St. Georges Parish, Southwark, Surrey, England. He died on 23 Feb 1714 in St. Georges Parish, Southwark, Surrey, England.

8 M vii. Haddon Hopkins was born on 14 Jan 1715 in St. Georges Parish, Southwark, Surrey, England. His occupation was given as brewer and victuler. He died on 21 Nov 1757 in St. Saviour's Parish, Southwark, Surrey. The cause of death was Consumption. He was buried on 25 Nov 1757 in Friends Burying Ground, Long Lane.

Haddon married (1) Judith Swainson (widow) in 1742. Judith died before 24 May 1746.
Note: There was a marriage on 5 Dec 1734 between John Swainson and Judith Goddard at St. Mary Magdalen church, Bermondsey. A John Swainson was buried on 6 Feb 1740 in St. George the Martyr parish, Southwark. This Judith might be the one who was the widow Haddon married in 1742.
Haddon married (2) Ann Arnold on 24 May 1746 in London, England. Ann died before 22 Aug 1752.

Haddon married (3) Mary Hoare on 22 Aug 1752 in London, England.
Note: There is an earlier marriage record for a Haddon Hopkins, who married Elizabeth Francis on 23 Aug 1733 at Fleet Prison, London. My Haddon would have been only 18 then, so it's not likely that this was him, but the name Haddon Hopkins was uncommon, so it's a possibility.
