Robert Hoopes [Hoope]
"Son of John Hoopes of Moorsom (neer Gisbrough) in Yorkshire in England, and of Isabell his wife, was born in Moorsom aforesd" 8 Mo. 18, 1639. "He came to Ireland Anno dom: 1660 being a tailor by trade. About the beginning of the eight moneth Anno dom: 1663 he took to wife Ellener ye daughter of John Hodgkinson and of An his wife of Preston in Anderness in Lancashire in England aforesd who was borne in the Sd towne about the Anno dom 1638: and had by her Children borne as followth": Ann, b. 10 Mo. 22, 1664, at Lurgan; John, b. 10 Mo. 4, 1666, at Lurgan; Abraham, b. 11 Mo. 14, 1668, at Lurgan.--Lurgan MM Records.
Robert Hoop, of County Armagh, in 1671, had taken from him for tithes, barley, flour, oats, and hay.--Besse's Sufferings of the Quakers, Vol. II.
In 1680, "Robert Hoop and George Hodgen [Hodgson] having a shop in Lurgin, the aforesaid John Weatherby ["Priest" of Parish of Shankill] bought some Broad cloth and other things of the said Robert and when he had bargained, pulled Mony out of his Pocket, and laid his hand on the Counter with Mony in it, and said, 'Cast up what it comes to, and I will pay you very well in your hand,' and while Robert was casting it up, he sent away the Taylor with the Goods, which come to sixteen shillings and a penny, and kept all for small Tithe, and other things, which he called Church-rights, due (as he said) from the said Robert and George, and although Robert told him of his treacherous dealing yet he went away and paid him nothing."--Stockdale, 145.”263
Note: In modern spelling Moorsom is actually Moorsholm, near Guisborough, North Yorkshire. Robert is sometimes said to be from Skelton-in-Cleveland which is only about 4 miles away.
We have no proof that Robert Hoopes had a son Robert, Jr. -- this is conjecture at this point but we have no record of other Hoopes families in Lurgan than the two Roberts who seem to be the right ages to be father and son.
