Elizabeth Haddon
Elizabeth Haddon (May 25, 1680 – March 30, 1762), born in Southwark, London, England, was the founder of Haddon Township and Haddonfield, New Jersey.
Haddon's Quaker father, John Haddon, bought a 500-acre (2 km²) tract of land in Gloucester County in the English colony of West Jersey to escape religious persecution. However, poor health kept him from settling there.〔Ingham, John N. (1983). ''Biographical Dictionary of American Business Leaders'', p. 351. Greenwood Publishing Group. ISBN 0-313-23907-X.〕 Haddon, a single woman, set sail from Southwark to the New World in 1701 without her family. She married John Estaugh (1676–1742), a Quaker minister, in 1702.〔''The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey'', Vol III, No 1, July 1927. Records of Newton and Haddonfield Meetings, Marriages, (married 1da 10mo 1702)〕 Their courtship was described, fancifully, by Lydia Maria Child in "The Youthful Emigrant. A True Story of the Early Settlement of New Jersey," first published on May 21, 1845 in the ''New-York Daily Tribune.'' Henry Wadsworth Longfellow drew on Child's account in writing "Elizabeth," a poem in the third volume of his ''Tales of a Wayside Inn''.〔Lurie, Maxine N., and Mappen, Marc (eds.) (2004). ''Encyclopedia of New Jersey'', p. 342. Rutgers University Press. ISBN 0-8135-3325-2.〕
Haddon and John had no children, but they brought her sister's son, Ebenezer Hopkins, to America from Southwark when he was about five, and raised him as their son and heir. Ebenezer was the son of Benjamin and Sarah (Haddon) Hopkins,〔FHL #0811790 Southwark MM Births 1648-1776, p. 225, (Family History Library, Salt Lake City, UT).〕 and the grandson of William and Katheryn Hopkins. Ebenezer was the founder of the Hopkins family of Haddonfield, New Jersey.〔For further information about the Hopkinses, ''see'': (A Hopkins Family History. )〕
