Johns Hopkins (1795-1873): Residences

What year Johns Hopkins came to live with his Quaker Uncle, Gerard T. Hopkins to learn the grocery business is uncertain. Most sources indicate he was seventeen which would bring him to Baltimore in 1812, two years before his father Samuel died. He was in Baltimoreby September 17, 1813 when he was received into the Lombard Street Meeting, and that is more likely the year in which he arrived in Baltimore to stay, 12 months before the British attack on the City. Note that addresses are taken from the city directories of the year given.

1812/13-1819/20?

1812/13-1819/20: Came to Baltimore to live with his Uncle Gerard T. Hopkins and work as a grocer where he resided for seven years. Source: Thom, p. 22.

1812 (1813?): “age of 17” went to live with Gerard T Hopkins, his uncle (Source: Thom, p. 14).

At the South River school he was known as “Johnsie Hopkins,” a name that he apparently was known by only to his family and servants after he moved to Baltimore. See Thom, p. 12, and p. 60. Pietila, Antero. The Ghosts of Johns Hopkins: The Life and Legacy That Shaped an American City. 2018) uses "Johnsie" as the title of a chapter about Johns Hopkins career in Baltimore. It is possible that he was known by his family as 'Johnsie'. There was another contemporary Johns Hopkins in Baltimore County that is listed on the Census and tax records as "Johnsie' to distinguish him from his father, another wealthy Johns Hopkins.

-* At  the South River school he was known as “Johnsie Hopkins,” a name that he apparently was known by only to his family and servants after he moved to Baltimore.  See Thom, p. 12, and p. 60.  Pietila, Antero. ''The Ghosts of Johns Hopkins: The Life and Legacy That Shaped an American City''. 2018) uses "Johnsie" as the title of a chapter about Johns Hopkins career in Baltimore.  It is possible that he was known by his family as 'Johnsie'.  There was another contemporary Johns Hopkins in Baltimore County that is listed on the Census and tax records as "Johnsie' to distinguish him from his father,  another wealthy Johns Hopkins.
