To my knowledge, there is only one Quaker "Hopewell MM". I am not an expert on Quakers though. Other religions may have named their Meetings "Hopewell", I don't know. The following is from Chapter XIII, Friends of Eminence, page 179 in the book: "Of the dissenting sects, the Presbyterians were probably the first to effect a church organization after the setting up of Hopewell; and, although they enjoyed the services of visiting ministers at considerable intervals, Dr. Graham says ("Planting of Presbyterianism in the Northern Neck of Virginia," page 26) that no pastor was regularly settled among them until 1754, when the Rev. John Hoge became the pastor of the Opequon Church at Kernstown, and supplied them at intervals until 1772. No other Presbyterian pastor came to be settled in the lower Valley until the Rev. Hugh Vance was installed at Tuscarora in 1772." For info, the Rev. John Hoge was the grandson of William Hoge Sr., mentioned in my first email. Jack R.
