While on the tour, the guide mentioned in passing that negotiations for the Louisiana purchase once took place in this building.
I was hooked. That was more than 15 years ago, and since then, whenever I have been able to find out more information I have collected it.
Henry Hope 1735-1811 b. in Braintree near Boston, to Sarah Willard and Mr. Hope, no marriage, and no issue, but many babys named after him!
He was apprenticed for 6 years to a well-known merchant house in London, Gurnell, Hoare, & Harman (now Hoare's bank), who were somehow affiliated with Amsterdam, probably through Jeremiah Harman, who was the executor of all Hope wills.
He bought the villa Welgelegen as a summer home in 1769, two years year after his cousin Jan bought Groenendaal in Heemstede.
Henry Hope fled to London in 1794 and merged later with Barings, issuing the Louisiana Purchase shares in 1804.
Henry was very nice to the young Hope & Co. clerk John Williams, taking him into his house when he was sick.
Henry later arranged an advantageous marriage for his young clerk Pierre CezarLabouchere, who by marrying the daughter of Francis Barings became a partner for the London branch of Hope & Co.
Henry formally adopted John Williams when John Williams married his niece Ann Goddard. John Williams changed his name to Williams Hope, and after the death of Henry's cousin Jan/John Hope he called himself John Hope.
Henry also had another ward, his godson James Horatio Watmough, who he was related to through his mother’s sister Mary Willard (JHW's grandmother). At about the same time as his adoption of John Williams, he bought a very nice country house for young Watmough as a wedding present in 1782, now known as Hope Lodge in Pennsylvania. This I found very puzzling, since James Horatio didn’t marry his wife Anne Carmick until 1784 (in Phile!) and Hope Lodge is a very big house to buy for a first cousin once removed.
Perhaps cousin Maria Ellis was Henry's unrequited love of his life? His young cousin JHW went into the family business of merchant banking in Philadelphia.
He wouldn’t be the first young man to accept favors from Henry Hope and subsequently marry the daughter of a merchant friend of Henry’s. I couldn’t find any satisfactory info on this at all.
In any case, both James Horatio and John Williams were grateful, naming their first children Henry (Henry Hope Watmough and Henry Williams Hope).
Harriet Hope 1740-1814 Henry's sister (and as far as I know, only sibling), b. in Braintree near Boston, to Mary Willard and Henry Hope the elder
Harriet is Henry’s sister and is said to have lived 1740-1814 (as yet no data found). She is his only surviving relative of the first degree. She has emigrated from Massachusetts and marries in Rotterdam around the time that he finishes his apprenticeship in London and joins Thomas & Adrian Hope in Amsterdam. She marries the son of a Rotterdam merchant with English heritage, John Goddard. I can’t tell if she met him in Rotterdam or Massachusetts. The Goddards are a well know name in Newport, Rhode Island as cabinetmakers, and the Willard family on Harriet’s mothers’ side are well known clock makers in Grafton, MA. Especially since Thomas Hope Jr., grandson of Thomas Hope the VOC director, wrote a book on interior decoration and designed furniture.

It is possible that her father came with her to Rotterdam and had a house there, or shared ownership with his brothers.Henry Jr, her brother, is already installed in Amsterdam in the offices of their uncles Thomas and Adrian.
