Hello,

Fort Hopkins was located in the Northeast Quarter of Section 1, Twp.2
South, Range 11 West. This is about one mile North of Princeton, on the
hill a few hundred feet West of Archer cemetery. This is also less than a
mile South of Lathom cemetery, which contains some of your Morrison and
Lathom Ancestors.

You can see the location on a map by going to the Gibson county Cemeteries
website, select Archer Cemetery, or go here:

http://www.usroots.com/~jmurphy/gibson/gibcem/pat_archer.htm

Then, click on "locate it on a map". After the map has loaded, click on
the area of Archer Cemetery, and the map will re-center where it will also
show Lathom Cemetery.
