I have a connection to the Hope name through my grandfather, his name was Ernest Hope Cooke. he was born in Durham, Eng. the son of Matthew Hope Cooke this is as far as I can get. My grandfather was adopted by an aunt & her husband in Newcastle when his father was going to South Africa as an architect. It is said they had a hotel or something in Newcastle but not sure about that. When my grandfather got older he wanted to change his name back. His aunt said he could as long as the name Hope be kept in the family forever. I thought some one might have a similar story in the family. Thank-you for any help at all even if it is a suggestion.

Our stonewall is with Hugh Hope Allison/Ellison born in 1794 in Rutherford county, TN according to an Allison family bible. However, I believe that at the time, that part of TN was in NC. He is on the 1820 census in Murfreesboro, Rutherford county and has a marriage registration to Nancy Ann Becton as Hugh Ellison in 1820. There is a Joseph Allison in that county at that time but don't know of his connection if there is one. Our Hugh and Nancy used the Hope name for two of their children. We believe that there must be a Hope connection but haven't been able to make it so far. I know that Margaret Hope married an Allison but can't find the correct birth dates for their children that fit with our Hugh Hope. Hugh left Rutherford county around 1835 for Gibson county, TN. According to Church records in Gibson county. He purchased land in MS in 1841 and later died in MS.1842. His will is recorded in Gibson county but does not mention his family. His widow and 5 of his 10 children moved to Cherokee county, TX by 1850. They were living near Nancy Becton's father, Frederick Edwin Becton in 1854 in Texas. Their only surviving son, Edwin Thomas H. Allison b. 1834, is my great grandfather. Thanks so much for any help or clues on this family search. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Trying to make a connection to Hugh Smith Hope b. 1830 S.C. d. 1879 Harrison Co. Texas.
He had a son Abner McNabb Hope b. 1840 Texas. There is a son on the 1850 Harrison Co. Tex. ints A. M. Hope age 10 b.pl. Texas. On the 1880 census Robertson Co. Texas There is a A. M. Hope or Abner Hope born the same year as the one
on the 1850 census. Could this be the same person? If so, on that census it shows a son A.G. Hope b.1879.
I have followed the trail of this A. G. as to be Andrew George Hope. He is my direct line into the Hope family.
He and his family have lived in Limestone Co. and Falls Co. Texas. I have no family members with any of my answers so I am posting Queries . Help would be greatly appreciated.
I have further information on this family if interested. e-mail is my best way of commucation.
Thank you, Linda
Richard Hope born 1821 in Leigh Lancashire England married Ann Gee born 1819 Lancashire England.

Charles had daughters Jane b.1870, Elizabeth b.1880, Ellen 1882. And sons Thomas b.1868, John b.1874, and Richard 1874.
Richard Hope married Elizabeth Massey. They had 3 daughters Elizabeth 1901 (my Grandmother), Gladys 1905 and Doris 1907. All born in Leigh Lancashire England.
At long last, after 78 years and 7 months, I recieved my birth certificate. Albeit I'm shown as female HOPE, I learned in mid-January my birth mothers name. I had already established which HOPE family was correct and now I wish to delve deeper into this family. This is what I know.
Female Hope, later named Bernice b 1929 Manhattan, NY city, NY
Mother: Iris HOPE b 1909 Binghamton, Broome, NY, d Dec 1977-Hampton Bays, Suffolk, NY
Grandfather: Samuel Everette HOPE b 4 Dec 1878, Brooklyn, NY, d 30 June 1946, Greenport, Suffolk, NY Beatrice Madeline Denison
Great Grandfather: James S HOPE b 1833, Philadelphia, Pa., d 1902 Holtsville, Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY Adeline Eliza Mott
Great-Great-grandfather: Jacob HOPE b 1806 Ireland, d bef 1860, Philadelphia, PA Hester Mathews
Who's next, where do we go from here? Can anyone connect to this family?
William Hope bc1770 SC? m Celia Wright? and Sheba Davis, lived Liberty Co, GA and died c1856. Sons John, William Jr and Henry went to Florida 1832. Strongly suspect William bc1770 was grandson of James Hope (1705-1776) and most likely candidates are Samuel and John.
Seeking to verify birth location of John Hope B Oct 3, 1791. Records indicate NC
but it might be York, SC, as boundary between NC/SC for that period was not fixed. We know that John married Margaret (last name unknown) who was B Nov 20,1797 in NC. John & Margaret's fist two children were born in SC and were Archibald H. B May 20, 1823 and Jane A. B Feb 9, 1813. John Hope moved from York, SC to Alabama in 1830 and was a farmer.
Seeking any information on Robert Milton Hope, B Scotland about 1740, married Catherine Allison, B 1750 at Hopetoun daughter of Hugh Allison and Margaret ? Robert & Catherine's 1st child is John Hope B Oct 3, 1791 in NC. Robert & Catherine emigrated to NC/SC (suspect area of York, SC). Robert may have been a physician.
We have traced our Hopes back as far as early
1800's in Loudoun County, Virginia. I am Donald Alan Hope. My father
was Ronald Alexander Hope, son of Charles Randolph Hope. Charles Randolph's father
was James Hope, son of John Alexander Hope.
We believe John Alexander's father was Christian Hope, but we can't go any
further. We would appreciate any information on how and when these Hopes came over to
America and any other information on their origins.
I am trying to find the parents of my great great grandfather, James Thomas Hope. James Thomas was born in 1793 in Virginia and lived in Front Royal. He was the proprietor of the Hope and Haynie Mill. James Thomas was married to Phoebe White in Frederick Co. in 1825. James Thomas stated that his father was born in Virginia and his mother in Maryland (1870 census). James Thomas had only one son, George Henry Hope, who produced children. An older son died young and, as far as I know, unmarried. He had a number of daughters. Two married a Hutchins and a Little from Georgia and a third married a Moffat, possibly from Maryland - they lived in Maryland later. Any assistance with the ancestry of this family would be appreciated.
