Marriage Notes (Betsey Cahoon)
In NEHGR, 102:261 (1948), Rachel is listed as a possible daughter, without a date; Deliverance has no date, and may have married Freeman Atwood in 1791; Betsey has no date, may have married Nehemiah Murray; Hannah has no date, may have married David Holbrook in 1776; Ruth has no date; Sarah has no birth date, but died 25 Jun 1818.
Unless I find better information, I'll consider these theories or rumors true.

Notes
General:
"Simeon Hopkins, mariner of Brunswick, on April 14, 1762, for £73 6s. 8d., buys of Samuel Thompson land on Sebascodegan (Great Island), Harpswell, Maine, being Lot No. 22, containing 100 acres more or less.
During the Revolutionary War, in 1775, we find the name of SIMEON HOPKINS on the important
Committee of Inspection and Correspondence for
Brunswick and Harpswell; this was undoubtedly
SIMEON5 then about 44 years of age, for Simeon6, his son, was only 17 at the time. Five years later we again find SIMEON HOPKINS on the Committee of Correspondence. This may have been the younger Simeon6, as he was then 22; but it is more likely that his father was chosen, because of his previous experience.
When SIMEON5 and BETTY HOPKINS were
about 80 years of age (5 March, 1812), they sold their
farm on Sebascodegan, together with their stock and
personal estate and another small island near by, for
1500 (dollars). The purchasers were ELISHA6
HOPKINS and his two sons, ELISHA7 and Simeon7.
The last named was then a resident of Lincoln; as he is called Simeon, Jr., it is probable that his uncle Simeon6 had died\emdash perhaps in the war. Nine years later we have reason to believe that the wife and
son (ELISHA6) of SIMEON5 had both died; for
ELISHA7 sells to Simeon7, his brother, his undivided
half of the aforesaid Lot No. 22 on Sebascodegan, which the boys and their father (ELISHA6) had purchased of SIMEON6, But whereas they paid $1,500, ELISHA7 sells his half to Simeon7 for only $400 on the following conditions: "and I, the said Simeon Hopkins, Junr., do agree to maintain my Grand-Father SIMEON5 HOPKINS during his Natrel life and pay all charges that may occur." 25
