In the early 1700s in Talbot County, Maryland, a Thomas Hopkins is mentioned
in church minutes specifically for the Chapel at Dundee, a plantation owned by
the sons of John Kininmont, an early immigrant to Talbot County.

I am searching for a Thomas Hopkins who had a daughter, Catherine, who married
Francis Kininmont before 1717 in Talbot County.  Catherine and Francis had one
son, Joseph.  Francis died in 1717 afterwhich Catherine married John Wilson
and together they had more children.

Can anyone help with this sketchy information?

    I have a line with a Francis b aft 1720 Talbot Co MD with brothers Dennis,
Joshua and Samuel. Francis married a Sarah --?. The parents of Francis are
Dennis b 1699 and Sarah Edmundson Hopkins of Talbot Co. who married 1720. They
lived at Hopkins Point which was settled by Thomas and Robert Hopkins in 1649.
      Francis married Susanna --? and they had sons Francis, Jeremiah, Dennis
and Thomas. Thomas married Sarah George.
       Thomas and Sarah had a son Thomas who married Elizabeth Edmundson.

Any bells?

     I have some info about a Joseph Hopkins, son of Thomas Hopkins b cs 1615
who settled in Talbot Co MD by 1649. This Joseph b 1680 married 1703 to a d/o
Col. Henry Fox, a British officer. He acquired "Rich Neck" a large tract of
land on the bay side which was patented bt Col Fox 1651. He lived there until
his death and willed it to his son Joseph. (Name of Col. Fox daughter
unknown.)

  Joseph 1704 s/o Joseph 1680 married Elizabeth Skinner. I have references to
the history and families of Joseph children if this is yours?   BobHop@aol.com

HOPKINS

There seems to have been four distinct Hopkins families in Anne Arundel and
Montgomery Counties.  The first is that of William Hopkins, of "Hopkins'
Plantation," Greenberry Point.  He came up with the Virginians to the Severn
in 1649 , but left no descendants of this name.

Gerard Hopkins was here as early as 1658.  His will of 1691 names his
children Gerard, Anne, Thompsin and Mary.  Thompsin was the first wife of
Captain John Welsh, of South River.  The second Gerard married Margaret
Johns, and their issue were Joseph, Gerard, Philip, Samuel, Richard, William
and Johns Hopkins, all born between 1706 and 1720.  The founder of Johns
Hopkins University was a descendent of this family.

In 1742 Matthew Hopkins, of County of Ayr, Scotland, came to Rock Creek, now
Montgomery County.  His widow, Mary, became Mrs. Henry Thralkeld.  No issue
of his name is known.

John Hopkins, said to have come from Scotland, was also locaated upon the
Maryland side of the Potomac, about 1775.  He married Eleanor Wallace,
daughter of James Wallace, of Montgomery County.  They left Herbert Hopkins,
William, Richard, Alexander, James and John Hopkins.  The afable Chief Clark
of the Comptroller's office, Mr. Harry Hopkins, comes from Talbot County.

Samuel Hopkins from Howard Co (Anne Arundel)
MD. He married Mary Hincks on dec 14 1808 and they had the following
children: Sarah, Catherine, Johnathan, David E, Eliza, and Samuel.
Samuel Hopkins was said to have been a surveyor of the National RD from
Baltimore to Cumberland. His son David was a sherrif in Howard Co.in
1865-67.  Several family members have had no sucsess at getting any
further back in our line if any one could help please write.

Karen Hopkins hopkbs@erols.com

He goes on to say, Gerrard (Jarrerd) Hopkins from England settled in MD.
John Hopkins, University at Baltimore is named for one of his descendants, a
Maryland business man who funded the university.  Edward Hopkins, returned
to England after living here a few years.  He left no children in this
country, but he believes he founded a school that later became a part of
Yale University.


That's JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY  - There is a Web page for this.  They
explain why the extra S. . .  Because the first name is really a last name.
There is a biography on this Quaker family at this web site.  Johns Hopkins'
ggrandmother was Margaret Johns, the daughter of Richard Johns of Calvert
Co., MD.  Margaret Johns married Gerard Hopkins in 1700; one of their
children was named Johns Hopkins.

The second Johns Hopkins, grandson of the first was born 1795 and never
married.  In 1867 Hopkins, arranged for the incorporation of the Johns
Hopkins University and The Johns Hopkins Hospital.

There is also a genealogy.  .

1760 b NC; son Dennis b 1792 NC; son James Laban 1817 KY; son John Jackson
1858 MO; George Robert 1899 MO and me 1926 MO.

  I think John 1698 was s/o Dennis who was s/o Dennis the immigrant to MD.

Samuel Hopkins was born c1636-37. [He made a deposition at Accomac VA
court in 1678 saying he was about 42 years of age - Accomac Orders
1676-78 p. 154]
He married Hannah Turner, daughter of Capt. Nathaniel Turner (who died
on Lamberton's "Phantom Ship" in 1646).  They were married by Mr.
Matthew Gilbert in New Haven 5 Dec 1667 according to CT Vital Records,
New Haven Pt. I 1649-1850 (pub. by the CT Soc. of the order of Founders
and Patriots of America, 1917), p. 26.

New Haven town records show that Samuel requested and was given
permission to cut wood for shingles  [Jan 18, 1668 and Sep 7 1668

1662-Mar 1683-84 ed . by F. B. Dexter 1917, pp. 245 and 240
respectively.]  Page 240 mentions that he was to cut the timber on "this

that belonged to the Turner family.

and Francestown N.H..

He surmises that Stephen Hopkins and John Hopkins came on the Mayflower in
1634 both settling in MA but soon John went on to CT.  He moves on the speak
about Thomas Hopkins who settled in R.I. with one of his descendants being
Stephen Hopkins the governor and the signer of the Declaration of
Independence.

He goes on to say, Gerrard (Jarrerd) Hopkins from England settled in MD.
John Hopkins, University at Baltimore is named for one of his descendants, a
Maryland business man who funded the university.  Edward Hopkins, returned
to England after living here a few years.  He left no children in this
country, but he believes he founded a school that later became a part of
Yale University.

From Northern Ireland there came in 1722, a family of four brothers and a
sister; James, Robert, Samuel, David and Agnes.  They came from Antrim,
Ireland and were Scotch Presbyterians.  They helped found the First
Presbyterian Church in Volumtown (now Sterling) CT.  Some of James'
descendants, by stages, moved first wo western CT, then to eastern NY, then
to western VT and finally on westward.

About the same time, (1720-1722) four brothers came from northern Ireland
and settled in and around Londonberry, N.H.  Similarity of given names
suggests that the Londonderry family and the Volumtown, CT family may have
been related.  The Londonderry family were names James, John, Robert, and
possibly David.  John, born in Scotland, came from Antrim, Ireland in 1730.
he was married and had two children at the time.  A Francestown N.H. history
states that the others came in 1730.  If so Robert, the youngest, would have
been about five or six years old at the time.  I have been unable to confirm
the time of their arrival, he states.  There is a record that Solomon
Hopkins signed an oath in 1727 in Londonderry supporting the king.  I have
located no proof that Solomon was any relation of the Londonderry brothers,
nor did I find any other record of Solomon.  However, both Robert (1) and
John (1) had grandsons named Solomon.

I will try to post these families as time permits.

and went to Arkansas. He later married Carolyn Lindsey (name might not be
correct).In 1840 they started for Ohio. Samuel Hopkins was born on the way,
on November 2, 1840. Carolyn Lindsey Hopkins died in childbirth, and was
buried along the Ohio River. The family settled at Duncan Falls, OH. Later,
they moved to Delaware county, Ohio.

Searcing for years for ancestors of David Hopkins(1790-1864).
Descendants say he was b. Crisfield, Md., which is impossible as the
town was not formed 'til 1860s when the railroad came thru, it was
formerly known as Somers Cove and that could be the place or somewhere
in Somerset Co., Md. He served a few days in the War of 1812, but not
enough to qualify for a pension. He married according to some sources
Sarah Mary Manning. According to the marriage license of his son James,
his mother was Margaret Anderton, of Matthews Co., Va. He lived in York
Co. Va., in Poquoson. Had the following children:
James Hopkins b. 1821 m. Anne Messick;m. 2 Emma Shackelford of  Ware

HOPKINS, Johns, philanthropist, b. in Anne Arundel county, Md., 19 May,
1795; d. in Baltimore, 24 Dec., 1873.  His parents were Quakers, and their
son was trained to a farming life, but received a fair education.  At
seventeen years of age he went to Baltimore, became a clerk in his uncle's
wholesale grocery store, and in a few years accumulated sufficient capital
to establish himself in the grocery trade with a partner.  Three years
later, in 1822, he founded, with his two brothers, the house of Hopkins and
Brothers.  He rapidly added to his fortune until he had amassed large
wealth.  Retiring from business as a grocer in 1847, he engaged in banking
and railroad enterprises, became a director in the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad company, and in 1855, chairman of its finance committee.  Two years
afterward, when the company was seriously embarrassed, he volunteered to
endorse its notes, and risked his private fortune in its extrication.  He
was one of the projectors of a line of iron steamships between Baltimore and
Bremen, and built many warehouses in the city.  In March, 1873, he gave
property valued at $4,500,000 to found a hospital which, by its charter, is
free to all, regardless of race or color, presented the city of Baltimore
with a public park, and gave $3,500,000 to found the Johns Hopkins
university which was first proposed by him in 1867, and was opened in 1876.
It embraces schools of law, medicine, science, and agriculture, and
publishes the results of researches of professors and students.  At his
death he left a fortune of $10,000,000, including the sums set apart for the
endowment of the university and hospital which were devised to the trustees
in his will.

I am researching the Quaker families of William T. Hopkins (b. 1827) and J. R.
Hopkins (b.1820) of Wye Mills, Md. (Talbot County) The family of William T.
(Thomas and Martha- parents) moved to Wilmington, De. in 1845 and subsequently
to Phila. where he owned two hoopskirt and bustle shops.  Not sure what
relationship is between the two men, or who J.R.'s parents were....anyone with
any info please contact me..

Thanks,    Cyndy  Artist1079@aol.com

Looking desperately for parents of John J. Hopkins, born in MD about
1823.  Married Margaret Martin, dgt of James Martin and Jeanette McKee,
born 1825 in PA.  Married in 1850 in Petersburg, VA.  Later removed to
Savannah, GA.  Had 3 children and 2 adopted Johnson children, supposedly
related.

HOPKINS ……Old Somerset of the Eastern Shore of Maryland

37 and 38Record of Session of Snow Hill Presbyterian Church, 1751-1801 (original

manuscript in the Presbyterian Historical Society, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), gives

facts relative to erection of this new "Meeting House" and its completion. Worcester

Court, Deed Liber B, p. 78, gives the deed, 1748, of John Martin to Adam Spence,

Thomas Milbourne and Matthew Hopkins for Lot 32 in Snow Hill Town "on which the

Protestant Presbyterian Dissenting Meeting House hath been lately built and now

standeth." The Session record refers to agreement with William Nilson in 1745 for

building the "Meeting House" in Snow Hill Town and in September, 1747, to a meeting

about building seats in the "Meeting House," an d January 11, 1752, there is record of

allotment of seats to members of the congregation. In January, 1762, William Nilson,

John Irving and Adam Spence were appointed to settle with Samuel Hopkins for building

[addition to?] Meeting House and to make return to the next meeting of Session, and

July 3, 1762, there is record of having paid Samuel Hopkins œ1:17s. 6d. currency,

being balance due him for "building addition" to Meeting House as appears pr receipt."

Then on May 13, 1795, appears the subscriptions to be taken to build a "Meeting

House" on Lot 32. 39Record Book of Session of Manokin Presbyterian Church, July 20,

administrator of David Richardson, deceased, late of Somerset County, gave bond as

administrator in the sum of œ213 sterling. Matthew Scarb orough and Samuel Hopkins,

sureties (Worcester County Registry of Wills, Liber JW, No. 14 [Bonds 1667-1742], pp.

40-1). William Richardson (son of David Richardson) married Elizabeth Scarborough,

daughter of Matthew Scarborough (Somerset Court, Deed Liber O 9, p. 52). There was

a very interesting character in Northampton County, Virginia, one Daniel Richardson,

who was employed by the vestry, and ministered to the Church of England

Congregation in Hungar's Parish , prior to 1676, though he was not episcopally

ordained. On objections raised by the Governor of Virginia, Sir William Berkeley, the

vestry of Hungar's Parish, finally discharged him in May, 1676. Wise, Accawmacke, p.

275, says: "The ouste Round, Samuel Hopkins, Edmund Howard, Thomas Jones, George Layfield, John King

and Stephen Horsey as justices of the county, with Jenckins, Winder, Dashiell and

Commission to the Justices and Comrs were [sic] read" and Jenckins, Winder,

Woolford, Round, Hopkins, Howard, Jones, Layfield, King and Horsey "took the oaths

prescribed by Act of Parlimt as also the oath of a Justice of the Peace." On September

13th Thomas Newboldqualified as a justice of the peace. At the Somerset Court, held

June 14, 1692, John West was sworn as clerk of the court; Stephen Lufte took the oath

as sheriff (under commission dated April 11, 1692); James Sangster took the oath and

qualified to "the office of Attorney for their Maties"; Peter Dent, Edward Jones and John

Strawbridge took the oath as attorneys; Samuel Worthington and Robert Perrie took

the oath as sub-sheriffs; Roger Burkum qualified as "Cryer to this Court" and George

Noble took the

We have evidence that Somerset County was represented in the "Convention" (or

Assembly) of the Associators' Government, which met in April, 1691,28 by Colonel

David Brown, Major Robert King and Mr. Samuel Hopkins. This evidence comes to us

through the record of Somerset Court, at whose session, November 12, 1691, when

upon the reading of "A proclamation from ye Convention ... Coll Brown, Majr King & Mr

Hopkins declared to the people present that they did not understand that anything but

Indian Corne was the last Convention prohibited for being transported out of the

Province they being Burgesses for this County and of the Committee of ye last

Convention ... Then was the Publick Ordinance Read & Ordered to be Recorded."29

The name of Fassitt (which is the correct spelling) is variously given in the records as

Fassitt, Fosett, Fossett, etc. This Captain William Fassitt who made the bequest to

the "minister of the Congregation and meeting of Buckingham" in 1735 is easily

identified with one William Fosett who appears as a commissioner to the Presbytery of

Philadelphia in 1709.2 Webster in his History of the Presbyterian Church in America,

page 322, states that the Reverend John Hampton was pastor of the Snow Hill

Presbyterian Congregation from 1707-1718, that he also served the "Pitts Creek

Congregation," and that the "united congregation" [i. e. Snow Hill and Pitts Creek] were

represented in Presbytery of Philadelphia 1709-1715, and the Synod of 1718 by the fo

llowing commissioners: 1709, William Fossett [Fassitt]; 1710, Benjamin Aidlett

[Aydelotte]; 1711, Adam Spence; 1714, Samual Hopkins; 1715, Nathaniel Hopkins;

1718, Edmund Cropper. We believe that Webster's statement in regard to Snow Hill

and Pitts Creek as "united congregations," at the dates given, is incorrect;3 while the

names of the commissioners given as representing these "united congregations" in

Presbytery 1709-1715 and Synod in 1718 are of men all of whom were identified with

Please help.  I am desperately searching for the parents of JOHN J.
HOPKINS b abt 1823 in MD and THOMAS HOPKINS, b 1814 in MD.
I know their parents were in the railroads, as was John J.  He also
lived in Petersburg, VA where my grfather, James R. Hopkins wa born in
1852.  If anyone can find a connection, I would sure love to hear it.
Thanks.

v. viii #2
The Whittingtons of Eastern Shore con't
William Whittington's inventory covers over five pages of the record book.
"Ginina" Long signs first, then Sam'l Hopkins and Nath'l Hopkins as kin [this
implied blood relationship is very difficult to explain] The inventory was
taken in April, 1720. (Wor.,MD J.W. xv-83) The testamentary bond by Wm.
Whittington [Jr.], Southey Whittington, Esther Whittington, Hannah
Whittington,
Hannah Whittington, his extrs, with Wm. Faucet, Adam Spence and Nath'l Hopkins
as sec. was for £3,000 ster. (Annap. T.P. xxiv-206. 11 Apr 1720) The Annapolis
Testamentary Proceedings show that the inventory was returned 6 Nov 1722.
[This may have been a second inventory]
(Annap. T.P. xxv-47?) An additional inventory was filed 9 Sept. 1726. Sam'l
Hopkins signs as one of the nearest of kin. (Wor.,MD J.V. xv-114)

(4)Hannah [Hopkins]. She was Whittington's wife in 1703. No exact statement
has been found anywhere that her family name was Hopkins, yet it seems that it
must have been

It is very uncertain who was the mother of the two daughters Esther and
Hannah. It is possible they were the children of Hannah [Hopkins]

A List of Wills which were in the lost record books of Stafford Co.,VA:
Will bk. K.  1721-1730
William Hopkins

v. viii #4
Whittingtons of Eastern Shore con't
It is commonly supposed that Hannah Whittington was a Hopkins. This is because
in his will mentions his brother-in-law Mr. Sam'l Hopkins and also because the
elder Sam'l calls Whittington
his son-in-law. An inventory filed in April 1720 (Wor. MD J.W. xv-83) is
signed by Gimima Long, Sam'l Hopkins, Nath'l Hopkins, all apparently as next
of kin. There seems no possible way
in which the Hopkinses could have been "next of kin" unless they sign as
nephews of his former wife, or unless they are his own nephews. Some chance
record will probably clear this up.

Whittingtons of the Eastern Shore con't
Wm. Whittington (V) married Mary King.
Curiously enough this marriage and the previous one of Wm. Wittington (IV) are
proved after the deaths of the two Williams, one by the stepfather's gifts,
and the other by a gift from the mother, and by her validation of the
conveyance of a negro girl, whom William (V) then called of Worcester, had
given bond to Samuel Hopkins. Mary-King Whittington, as widow and excutrix

Still looking for the marriage of Dr Robert Hopkins to Sarah___. He died
in 1704 in Baltimore, MD. Sarah later married Henry Maynard and they
lived in Anne Arundel Cty, MD. Robert and Sarah were married long enough
to have one child and another on the way when he died. What I really
want is Sarah's maiden name and the names of her parents. Thanks,
