comprising a historical sketch of the county", by Samuel T. Wiley and edited by
Winfield Scott Garner, Gresham Publishing Company, Philadelphia, PA, 1893, pp.
355-6.

"THOMAS HOOPES, an able business man of many years successful experience, and a
member of the well known firm Hoopes, Brother & Darlington, who own and operate
the largest wheel factory east of the Allegheny mountains, is a son of Thomas,
Sr., and Elizabeth (Darlington) Hoopes, and was born in West Goshen township,
Chester county, Pennsylvania, November 27, 1834. The Hoopes family is among
the oldest and most respectable families of Pennsylvania, and was founded in
1683 in Bucks county by Joshua Hoopes, who, with his wife Isabel, came in that
year from Cleveland in Yorkshire, England. They brought with them their three
children: Daniel, Margaret and Christian. Daniel Hoopes came to Westtown town-
ship in 1696, and on December 10th of that year, he married Jane Worrilow,
daughter of Thomas and Jane Worrilow, of Edgmont. His son, Thomas Hoopes
(great-grandfather) was born October 22, 1714, and settled on a portion of the
six hundred and thirty acre tract of land in Goshen township, which his father
had purchased from a sea captain, who had bought it from the Penns. He was a
farmer by occupation, and died May 21, 1803, aged eighty-nine years. He married
Susanna Davies, and after her death, Amy Cope. A son by his second marriage
was Jesse Cope (grandfather), who died in 1825. One of his sons was Thomas
Hoopes, Sr. (father), born in 1794, on the old homestead, where he died in May,
1880, at eighty-six years of age. He was a farmer by occupation, and a member
of the Society of Friends. He was a useful man, and a Whig and republican in
politics, and in 1816, married Eliza Darlington, who was born in 1797, and
passed away in 1878, when in the eighty-first year of her age. Mr. and Mrs.
Hoopes had nine children, seven sons and two daughters.

"Thomas Hoopes grew to manhood on the paternal acres, and received his education
in the public and high schools of West Chester. At the early age of sixteen
years he commenced farming, which he followed until he was twenty-three, when
he went west, where he was engaged for five years in Colorado and Iowa in
mining and the lumber business. At the end of that time, in 1862, he returned
to Chester county and was engaged in farming until 1868, when he removed with
his brother William to West Chester, and organized the present celebrated West
Chester spoke and wheel manufacturing firm of Hoopes, Bro. & Darlington. Their
plant, which is known as the West Chester wheel works, occupies three acres of
ground, on which are erected large and commodious frame and brick buildings,
embracing engine house, work shops, finishing factory, and a neat and tasteful
office building. The company has 100,000 square feet of floor surface in their
buildings. They employ from one hundred and fifty to two hundred men, and have
an output of forty thousand sets of wheels per year. Mr. Hoopes' is one of the
leading industrial establishments of the eastern part of the State, and he has
made for himself a name as an honorable and first class manufacturer in the
many different sections of the State and country where the products of his works
are used.

"On June 14, 1864, Mr. Hoopes was united in marriage with Amanda Russell,
daughter of Thomas Russell, of the city of Baltimore. To their union have been
born six children, five sons and one daughter: Charles R., who is in charge of
the office of Hoopes, Brother & Darlington; William, superintendent of the Bala
& Merion Electric Company; Herbert, deceased; Maurice, superintendent of the
electric light plant of West Chester; Arthur, now a student in Edison's labor-
atory at Orange, New Jersey; and Emily.

"Thomas Hoopes is a republican, and has cast his vote for every presidential
candidate of that party since its organization in 1856. He is interested in
the industrial progress and general prosperity of his native city, and has
served for some time as the president of the board of trade. His time and
attention are chiefly given to the extensive business which has been built up
during the last quarter of a century. He is now in the line of his proper
life-work, and the results of his labor are those of substantial success, as
attested by the existence of the splendidly equipped factory and extensive
trade over a wide area of territory. He is modest and reserved, yet affable
and pleasant. Mr. Hoopes' success and reputation have come, not as the result
of accident, but as the fruits of excellence of work and special ability of
management."
