Excerpt from Genealogical and Memorial Encyclopedia of the State of Maryland: A Record of the Achievements of Her People in the Making of a Commonwealth and the Founding of a Nation Johns Hopkins spent his youth on the farm, attending school in winter. At the age of seventeen he went to Balti more with his uncle, Gerard T. Hopkins, to learn the grocery business. He developed ability, and when nineteen, the uncle left the young man in charge of the business. The British army was then in the neighborhood, but the young man in creased the business, notwithstanding the excitement and de rangement caused by the war. At the age of twenty-four he had saved eight hundred dollars, and went into business for himself, with his uncle's indorsement, renting a small store and forming a partnership with Benjamin P. Moore, under the firm name of Hopkins and Moore. The firm was dis solved in 1822, and he associated with himself two of his younger brothers, under the name of Hopkins and Brothers. After remaining in this business for twenty-five years, and having extended it into Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and adjoining States, Mr. Hopkins retired in 1847, leaving it in the hands of his brothers and two of their clerks. Mr. Hopkins continued to manifest great interest in the commercial life of the city of Baltimore. After the resigna tion of James Swan, he was elected president of the Merchants' Bank of Baltimore, and filled this position until his death.
