Hannah Hopkins, nee Janney, was born on May 19, 1774, in northern Virginia near Leesburg in Loudon County. She was the daughter of Hannah Jones and Joseph Janney, Sr., and part of a prominent Quaker family based in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Hannah had several siblings and retained close ties to relatives and friends in Virginia well after moving to Maryland.
On August 29, 1792, at age 18, Hannah married Samuel Hopkins in Loudoun. Together they had eleven children between the years 1793 and 1811 at the Hopkins family plantation, White Hall, in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Miraculously, all eleven children survived to adulthood, although four of her sons—Gerard, Mahlon, Philip, and Joseph—died before Hannah passed away in 1846.
Hannah lived most of her life in Anne Arundel County at White Hall with her children and husband, and she was an active member of the Indian Spring Quaker Preparatory Meeting. Her husband Samuel passed away in 1814, when their youngest child Mary was not yet three years old. Hannah would live another 32 years. Along with her oldest son Joseph Janney Hopkins, Hannah managed the family's plantation house and farm.
Sometime after 1840, Hannah moved to Baltimore to live with Johns Hopkins and some of her surviving children. She joined the Orthodox Baltimore Monthly Meeting. In 1842, Hannah's son Johns Hopkins sold Hannah two houses on Franklin Street in Baltimore, likely so they could serve as sources of regular income for her. Shortly thereafter, Hannah Hopkins, along with her daughters Hannah and Elizabeth, moved into Johns' mansion house at 177 Lombard Street.
Hannah died in Baltimore on November 25, 1846, at the age of 72. Johns Hopkins was the administrator of her estate, and in May 1848 he sold Hannah's Franklin Street properties to his brother and Hannah's son, Samuel Hopkins, Jr. The location of her grave is unknown, but we believe that she was buried at the Hopkins family burial ground near White Hall.
