John´s mother & father were members of the Wesleyan-Methodist society, and, after adorning the doctrine of God our Saviour, by a steady and exemplary piety, through the course of nearly half a century, died in peace. John himself was a military officer, highly respected for his personal excellance and professional abilities. He, John Hopwood, died during the infancy of his son Henry S Hopwood, born 1785 , leaving him to the care of an affectionate mother, who, shortly after her husband's death, removed to Rochdale.- these details form the Memoirs of Henry S Hopwood , part of The Wesleyan-Methodist magazine, 1833-06-01, Vol.12, p.385-394
