Hopkins.  Joshua was a native of North Carolina, born May 3, 1794, and at
the age of six removed with his parents to Georgia, afterward immigrating to
Clinton County, Ky., and from there in 1829, came to Indiana, settling on
the farm now occupied by our subject.  He was married in Kentucky, and four
of his children were born there.  Ziba received a limited education, and
April 2, 1856, he was married to Martha S. Sears.  He has followed farming,
and now owns 350 acres of highly-improved land, raising some stock in
addition to the usual farm crops.  During the war he was Sergeant in a
company of Home Guards.  He is a Republican in politics, and is a man highly
respected by all who know him.
