About Our Chapter

 
Sgt.  Caleb Hopkins Chapter was named for this soldier of the Revolutionary War as a tribute to 

Mrs. James Abels, the former Luta Hopkins.  Mrs. Abels, a descendant of Caleb Hopkins, 
was Regent of the Springfield DAR Chapter from 1943-1945 and served as 
sponsor and advisor for this new chapter.
 
Caleb Hopkins and Thankful Paine were married in 1766 and lived in Eastham, Massachusetts.  
They had eight sons and one daughter.  Sgt. Hopkins served in 1776 in Truro and 
again in 1778 at Winter Hill.  Thankful died in 1816 at 70 years of age; 
Caleb died in 1836 at 93 years of age.  Sgt. Hopkins, as well as many Springfield residents, 
was a descendant of Stephen Hopkins of the Mayflower.
