Groton

Hopkins was the head of an old American shipbuilding firm based out of Groton, Connecticut.

He graduated from Yale College in 1976 and Groton School in 1971.

Tradition has preserved little or nothing in regard to the earliest trading stores of Groton.

In it the poor fellow states that he was only twenty-one years old, and that he was born at Groton of a respectable family.

For a while it came to Groton by the way of Leominster, certainly a very indirect route.

The village was widely known as Groton Junction, and resulted from the intersection of several railroads.

He had been the preceptor of Groton Academy for some years, and was widely known as a critical scholar.
