 Amey Hopkins   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Stephen Albro, the son of Lydia Spencer and the third John Albro in descent from John Albro I of Portsmouth, had as his second wife Amey Hopkins (LDS IGI batch A170710 source 170710.) There have been many women named Amey/Amy/Amie Hopkins.
The LDS FGR that lists the marriage of Amey Hopkins to Stephen Albro on September 4, 1791, lists her date of birth as abt 1764 (so it is a guess) and her place of birth as West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI, but that is based on the fact that the marriage occurred there.
The case for the Joseph Hopkins / Mary Austin parentage is weakened by the lack of a known association with West Greenwich, and the facts that they have a recorded child, Thomas Hopkins, b.1763, and that they died in Rhode Island.
