Gift, 1933.

Presented to Haverford College with the consent of the principal heirs of the late Sarah Nicholson, of Haddonfield, New Jersey.

Letters and documents, also from the estate of Sarah Nicholson, were turned over to Friends Historical Association in 1926. These papers were presented to Haverford College by the Association in 1941, and have been incorporated into this collection.

In the following pages is given a list, with notes, of papers preserved by the New Jersey heirs of John Haddon, Quaker and anchor-maker, of Rotherhithe, Surrey, England, who died there in 1724. His connection with shipping, and the desire which he shared with many Quakers of the time to escape persecution and war, led him to invest largely in land in West Jersey, but he was never able to visit his possessions.

John Haddon's daughter Elizabeth, at the age of nineteen years, came to New Jersey in 1701 to take up her father's land. She probably brought over with her the indentures connected therewith, the earliest of which is dated 1676. She had unlimited power over her father's West Jersey properties. John Estaugh, a young Quaker preacher whom she married in 1702, was her valued assistant, and he was soon entrusted with large tracts of land belonging to other London Quakers. This is shown by the large number of indentures, powers of attorney, wills, etc. among his papers.

John Estaugh died in 1742, while on a religious visit to the West Indies, and was buried on the small island of Tortola.

John Haddon had but one child besides Elizabeth, Sarah, who married Benjamin Hopkins. John and Elizabeth Estaugh, having no children, adopted Ebenezer, the youngest son of Sarah Hopkins, as their heir, and at the age of five years he was brought to West Jersey and never returned to his native land. On Second Month 29, 1737, when he was nineteen years old, Ebenezer Hopkins married Sarah, daughter of James Lord, of Woodbury. They were the parents of seven children. Ebenezer Hopkins died in 1757, a few years before the death of his aunt, Elizabeth Haddon Estaugh.

At the death of Elizabeth Haddon Estaugh in 1762, her papers became the property of her great-nephew and principal heir, John Estaugh Hopkins, who was at that time about twenty-four years of age. He inherited the large house built in 1713 for John and Elizabeth Estaugh, and probably preserved the papers much as his Aunt Elizabeth left them, adding some of his own. In the year of his aunt's death, he married Sarah Mickle, a descendant of Archibald Mickle, an Irish Quaker, who came to Philadelphia in 1682, and became a large landowner in West Jersey.

In 1779 John Estaugh Hopkins built the house now designated as 65 Haddon Avenue, Haddonfield, New Jersey, and removed there about the end of the year, in company with his wife and two daughters, Hannah and Sarah. The papers were probably brought with them at that time. He gave the large house to his eldest son James, and a house, farm and mill to his son, William Estaugh Hopkins. This house is still standing in the Park at Haddonfield.

In the house at 65 Haddon Avenue, Haddonfield, the papers remained for one hundred and twenty-five years. Hannah Hopkins, the eldest daughter of John Estaugh Hopkins, outlived the members of her family in her own generation, and cared for the papers until her death in 1838.

The next owner of the house and possessor of the papers was Beulah Hopkins Nicholson, daughter of James Hopkins and niece of Hannah Hopkins. Beulah Hopkins was the second wife of Samuel Nicholson. His first wife and the mother of his children was Rebecca Morgan Hopkins, daughter of William E. Hopkins and first cousin to Beulah.

Beulah Hopkins Nicholson, in her will, left her house and land to her youngest step-daughter, Sarah Nicholson, who carefully cherished the papers until her death in 1925, in her eighty-eighth year. In response to her request to her niece, Rebecca Nicholson Taylor, to see that the papers should be properly cared for, this list has been prepared.

* * * * * * * * *

These papers may be elucidated by three articles written by Rebecca N. Taylor and published in the Bulletin of Friends' Historical Association, as follows:

"Thomas Story's Pennsylvania Estates" Vol. 19, no. 2 "The Business Papers of John and Elizabeth Estaugh". Vol. 20, no. 1 "Ebenezer Hopkins, 1718-1757". Vol. 21, no. 1

The papers were in the same house for about one hundred and twenty-five years. At the death of Sarah Nicholson, the papers were placed by the heirs in care of her niece, Rebecca Nicholson Taylor, and later, presented to the Quaker Collections at Haverford College.

Explanatory Note

In the correspondence between Thomas Hyam and Elizabeth Estaugh, he asks for an account of the 1310 acres belonging to the Noble Estate.

Thomas Hyam seems to have been a new Secretary of the Pennsylvania Land Company, whose affairs have been quiescent for some years.

Thomas Hyam made great complaint of John Estaugh's management of the Noble Estate. Elizabeth Estaugh, in much distress, writes to Jacob Hagen, replying to these accusations, and enclosing a copy of a receipt dated November 3rd, 1730, to John Estaugh, from the surviving trustees of the of the Pennsylvania Land Company. Signed by Samuel Turner, Samuel Bonham, and witnessed by John Withy and Henry Gay. The receipt satisfies all claims of the Company.

Elizabeth Estaugh adds this note: "Now I may father add, having shown this to a great merchant, who says they can't go further back than this receipt."

In one of these letters, Elizabeth Estaugh says in a note, "Wonder not at my dwelling so much on my dearest. It gives a little relief to me pained heart."

When E.E. refers to her husband, she calls him "Dearest", "Dear", "My Dearest", "My dear heart, "My Beloved", and "My Dear."

NOTE

James Lord, of Woodbury, New Jersey (owner of the book by Burnyeat), was a highly esteemed minister in the Society of Friends. He died in 1727, in his 34th year. His wife, Elizabeth, was the grand-daughter of Benjamin Clark, who was a native of Scotland and a printer and stationer of Lombard Street, London.

Benjamin Clark attracted persecution because of printing Friends' Books without a license, and was obliged to flee to East New Jersey, settling at Amboy. His son, Benjamin, bought 3000 acres of land at Stony Brook, and was assisted in clearing it by his two elder daughters, Ann and Elizabeth. Elizabeth later married James Lord.

In 1737, Sarah, the daughter of James and Elizabeth Lord, married Ebenezer Hopkins.

The only great-grandchild of Elizabeth Lord was the son of John Estaugh Hopkins. He was named Samuel Hopkins, and was born in 1774 and died in the following year. It would appear that the inscription in the Burnyeat book is his only memorial. The book was probably taken by Samuel's father to the house in Haddonfield and remained there in 1925.

In the book by William H. Nicholson, entitled "My Ancestors", there is information in regard to the early history of the Haddon and Nicholson families. In it also are copies of old wills, viz: Samuel Nicholson, 1749; Abel Nicholson, 1761; Aaron Aaronson, 1760; Rebecca Aaronson, 1786. (see online catalog)
