Hopkins Burial

Most likely, Samuel Johns's father is buried there also. If and when we can get the property purchased, one of the first things we will do is have ground-penetrating radar used to

Quakers in Easton
More information about Maryland Quakers....... The Society of Friends built Third Haven Meeting House in Easton, Maryland between 1682 and 1684. The Meeting House has been in continual use since then. It is the white clapboard building shown below. The next four photos are of the 1684 interior that remains the same today.
