Mr. Cohen, a charming and cultivated genealogist, whose business is mainly with America and the Colonies, had been for some months actively engaged for Mr. Hopper in tracing the arms of his, Mr. Hopper’s, maternal grandfather--a Mr. Pooke. When Mr. Cohen became acquainted with the facts mentioned above he cabled to Mr. Hopper, who sent by return of post copies of certain family documents which clearly proved that this Mr. Pooke was identical with a younger brother of Sir Arthur. This younger brother was an erratic and headstrong lad who had enlisted in early youth under Cornwallis, and had been killed, as it was believed, at Yorktown. He was as a fact wounded and made prisoner; he was not killed. He was released at the Peace of 1783, preferred remaining in the New World to facing his creditors in the Old, married the daughter of Peter Kymers, of Orange, N.J., and soon afterwards went West. In 1840 his only daughter Cassiopea, who was then keeping a small store in Cincinnati, married the Rev. Mr. Aesop Hopper, a local minister of the Hicksite persuasion. Charlemagne K. Hopper is the only issue of that marriage. The genealogy stands thus: WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE [+]1616 | (the Immortal Bard) | Susannah=+=Dr. John Hall | Elizabeth Lady Barnard (of Abington) | Anne Hall=+=Henry Pooke ([+]1703) | | Charles Pooke (First Bart.) [+]1772 | | +---------------------+-------------------+ | | | William Gen. Sir Arthur Pooke Henry Pooke=+=Maria Kymers (died in infancy) o.s.p. 1823 [+]1830 | | Rev. Aesop Hopper=+=Cassiopea Pooke [+]1883 | [+]1902 | CHARLEMAGNE K. HOPPER This family tree is now so well established that a full publication of the lineage, with a commentary upon the whole romantic story, is about to appear in one of the reviews from the pen of “Thersites,” a pseudonym which, as many of our readers are aware, barely hides the identity of one of our best-known experts upon Foreign Affairs.[1]
