1982
Hopkins family mislisted as Quakers Update made 14 Jun 1995 to a Hopkins research group by Harold C Hopkins -- [email protected] It now appears that Dennis Hopkins of Randolph Co. NC -- who was listed on a 1782 county tax document -- was not a Quaker as had been implied in a publication and interpretation of that document in the Randolph Co. Genealogical Society Journal, vol. X, no. 3, in 1986. This Dennis Hopkins was a presumed son of John Hopkins, who was on record in Orange Co. NC in the year that county was formed in 1752. Since Dennis is confirmed as my ancestor and John is presumed to be his father, this study is presented to justify the writer's position that these of his ancestors were not Quakers as the journal article suggested, even though they lived among Quakers and were in daily association with Quaker families in the Sandy Creek community where that creek enters Deep River in Randolph Co. NC, on land entered by John Hopkins in 1755. This land was originally in Orange Co. in 1752, Guilford Co. in 1771, and Randolph in 1779. The article gave unwarranted prominence and emphasis to a heading in a 1782 Randolph County, NC, document. The original, hand-written court document contained tax information involving 36 county residents. This document, written while North Carolina and other colonies were at war with Great Britain, was in part a notice of revisions in tax amounts assessed on some of these residents and in part a report that taxes had now been paid by another group of residents who had failed to pay earlier. It also becomes apparent through further study that the original document did not -- as the 1986 transcription suggested -- state in any way that Dennis Hopkins Sr. was a Quaker over 50 years of age in 1782. I sent corrections to the society in 1995, but am not sure if a correctione has been made. The correction, of course, affects the Quaker status of other families or names listed on the report. The document as transcribed and typed, left the erroneous implication that Dennis Hopkins Sr. was to be included among a group of taxpayers under the heading "A LIST OF QUAKES WHO ARE OVER FIFTY YEARS OF AGE AND BY LAW ARE LIABLE TO PAY ONLY A TWOFOLD TAX," thus printed in all-capital letters, centered at the top of the page. That heading originally was intended to apply to only five persons -- not including Dennis Hopkins Sr., who was among some 30 other people listed on the page under separate headings, but given no special emphasis or location. The oiginal document -- by listing Dennis as subject to the ordinary one-fold tax instead of threefold -- makes it clear that Dennis Hopkins Sr. was of military age, that is, younger than 50, and that a change was being made in an earlier assessment that unjustly penalized him. Both the original document and the printed heading over the names of Dennis Sr. and Robert Hodgins stated that each had "taken the oath" [of fidelity] and "given an inventory" (assumed tax obligations by providing a list of taxables), indicating that they were patriots acknowledging loyalty to the revolting colony. I am indebted to a Jamestown, NC, genealogist, Mary A. Browning, for helping clear up this error. This has resulted in a rethinking of events and chronology involving the Hopkins family in North Carolina. For instance, once can speculate that when his believed oldest son Dennis Jr. or Denny Hopkins was born in 1760, Dennis Hopkins Sr. was about 21 years old; the elder Dennis’s birth thus would date to around 1739 or possibly a few years earlier, but not as early as 1732 as indicated in other articles about our family which had relied on the RCGS's 1986 interpretation. Thus the original tax document is now more credible and is consistent with the known refusals of most Quakers to take oaths of any kind or cooperate with the colony’s participation in the American Revolution. About 1995, I talked to Mary Browning on this subject in asking her about her a book she co-authored on descendants of an Earle Hopkins in Guilford and other counties formed from Orange Co., because I believed -- and still do -- that Earle Hopkins and his descendants are relatives of my family. She has, incidentally, established that Earle Hopkins was from Dorchester Co., MD, and that when he died 1796/97 one of his three minor orphans was named Dennis Hopkins. This given name to me implies that Earle's family and mine have common origins, though this has not been established. Mary expressed doubt that my ancestor Dennis Hopkins was a Quaker because he was not listed in any Quaker documents of the area. Later she sent me a xeroxed replica of the original tax document, and said that she had talked with the one of the persons who had transcribed the document as printed in the RCGS journal who acknowledged that the document did not appear to identify Dennis Hopkins as a Quaker. During the American Revolution Quakers of military age in Randolph County -- and probably in other localities -- opposed taking up arms and most refused to assist voluntarily in the war effort or other government undertakings such as census enumeration, recordation of marriage bonds, and providing an inventory for taxing purposes. The court of Randolph County, for one, reacted by imposing a fourfold tax on Quakers of military age who refused to take oaths of fidelity and submit an inventory of their taxables. Taking the oath and giving the local militia captain an inventory of one’s taxables demonstrated one’s defiance against Great Britain and steadfast loyalty to the breakaway colony; the document suggests that all persons of military age who evaded both of these requirements were assessed a threefold tax, and, without knowing for sure, I suspect that avoiding one of these might prompt a twofold tax assessment. These judgments were made by a county court. Dennis Hopkins Sr. and Robert Hodgins apparently had been placed on this three-fold list by an earlier mistake in assessment. In North Carolina there was a sizable population of Tories (Loyalists to the Crown) who organized into armed groups and waged war on the Americans, burning and pillaging the property of the patriots and their instruments of government, such as courthouses and records, and hanging a number of Americans. The Americans responded in kind, forming local militia units that marched against Tory strongholds, burning their property and whipping or hanging those captured. These conflicts lasted even after the war was over in some cases. Guilford County, from which Randolph was formed in 1779, was a hotbed of wartime violence between the Tories and Americans. American patriots feared the Quakers might sympathize with and assist the enemy, including the Tories. In Guilford/Randolph Counties and possibly in other North Carolina counties, Quakers past military age -- who were neighbors and friends of the local patriots and not in arms against them -- received more lenient treatment than younger Quakers, and were assessed only a twofold tax, whereas Quakers of military age were assessed quadruple the regular tax. In the 1782 tax document, opposite the names of the third and fourth groups, were listed in a column the amounts of each named person’s original tax assessment followed in a succeeding column by revised assessment amounts. Both amounts were given in Sterling money (pounds, shillings, and pence). The second group (after the Quakers) consisted of three persons, apparently non-Quakers, who were excused from paying a tax, listed under this heading: "The names of those who was cleared by Court from paying tax." One of these, a note said, had already "paid in Cumberlin and has receipt." These may have been hardship cases. Dennis Hopkins Sr. and Robert Hodgins were listed under the heading, "Those who have given an inventory and have taken the oath & are [i.e., have erroneously been] set upon the list with those who have not taken the oath." They were neighbors and possibly relatives in a community called Sandy Creek, named for the creek that empties into the Deep River at this point, about seven miles east-northeast of what later, in 1793, became Asheboro, the county seat. Information upon which to base tax assessment was usually collected by or at the behest of captains of county militia companies, which were maintained in every sizable community in the county to defend the populace against Great Britain, hostile Indians, uprisings of slaves, oulaws, or other armed and antagonistic groups. For whatever reason, some tax assessor must have mistakenly entered Dennis Hopkins Ser. and Robert Hodgins on the wrong list and assessed a threefold tax on them. Tax authorities in the 1782 document apparently rectified this error, so far as it affected the two, by reassessing the taxes of the two men from a threefold tax to a onefold or (regular) upon learning that both had "taken the oath" and given an inventory. Dennis Hopkins "Ser." not only fulfilled these requirements denoting his patriotism but also furnished forage and provisions on credit to the local military authority. Dennis Sr.'s believed oldest son, Dennis Hopkins Junr. (1760-1850) known as Denny, served during the Revolution with a company of light horse engaged against the Tory forces. This younger Dennis Hopkins married Martha Cox, daughter of a neighboring Quaker; Martha was dismissed from the Quaker group for marrying a non-Quaker. Others of the elder Dennis’s sons, Josiah, Moses and Aaron, were shown serving with Dennis Jr. on the roster of a county company of militia in 1788, a few years after the war had ended. Here is the third group’s listing as it appears on the transcribed, typed copy listing "those who have given an inventory and have taken the oath & and are set upon a list of those who have not taken the oath": Dines Hopkins, Ser. �1.16.5 1/4 �0.12.1 3/4 Robert Hodgin
1.19.0
1.13.4 Robert Hodgins �1.19.0 �0.13.4 The fourth group consisted of eight more persons whose taxes were reduced by the court from threefold to onefold, with no indication of whether they had taken the oath and given an inventory. The fifth group consisted of 18 persons "who paid to Night," meaning, I suspect, that they were late paying, or paid only under pressure. A few members of this last group -- not all -- have been identified as Quakers or former Quakers, according to Mary Browning. Understanding the formula for tax assessments upon Dennis Hopkins and Robert Hodgins requires using the existing Sterling figures of 20 shillings to a pound and 12 pence to a shilling, not the decimal system. Thus, for Dennis the tax reduction was exactly two thirds, and if the typographic error is corrected Hodgins’s tax reduction -- within sixpence -- is two-thirds of the original assessment, that is, from �1.13.4 in left colum to �0.13.4 in the right column. I believe this report on Dennis’s status as a
non-Quaker calls for this somewhat detailed explanation, especially since we do know that
the Hopkins family in Randolph County lived among Again we must ask whether the members of the Hopkins family -- the non-Quakers in North Carolina and the Quakers in Maryland -- were all part of the same family. Were there Hopkinses of the Quaker faith in the older colony of Virginia who migrated and took up residence in the newer and more tolerant colony of Maryland? Did some family members who remained in Virginia as non-Quakers eventually move into North Carolina or did they arrive from both Maryland and Virginia? Were some members of the family in Talbot County, Maryland, non-Quakers who migrated directly to North Carolina? Whether separated by religion or geography, or both, how long did these kinsmen maintain contact after separation? If family members migrated from Maryland, did they stop for a time among kinsmen in Virginia until new lands were opened up in North Carolina and elsewhere? Informed and sophisticated study is probably needed to resolve these and related questions of migrating patterns. Harold Hopkins <[email protected]
HINSHAW - Quaker Genealogy: Ohio [p.1387] INDEX The request from four quarterly meetings was brought before the yearly meeting. The very important subject relative to a division of this yearly meeting, referred for further consideration from the meeting last year, being resumed and the four quarters west of the Alleghany Mountains having in their reports expressed their united judgment in favor of establishing a yearly meeting north west of the Ohio River, a weighty deliberation thereon engaged the attention of the meeting, and much tender feeling being witnessed thereon engaged the attention of the meeting for Friends in their remote situation, it was concluded that a committee be appointed to unite with a committee of women friends in deliberating further of the proposition, and to report to a future setting. The following Friends were accordingly appointed to the service, viz.: Evan Thomas, Thomas More, Isaac Balderston, Gerard T. Hopkins, Joseph Griest, Thomas Wood, Solomon Shepherd, Abel Thomas, James Mendenhall, Asa Moore, John McPherson, Israel Janney, Thomas Farquhar, Henry Mills, William Wood, Samuel Potts, Horton Howard, Carmon Thomas, Abraham Warrington, William Heald, Elisha Schooley, Robert Hannah, John Hunt, James Hadley, Thomas Shreve, George Ellicott, and Goldsmith Chandlee.
