Hopton Haynes (1672?–1749) was an English employee of the Royal Mint and theological writer. ==Life== Born about 1672, Haynes entered the service of the Mint as weigher and teller in 1696 or early in 1697, almost at the same time as Isaac Newton's appointment as Warden. He was promoted to be assay-master in 1723. Haynes was close to Newton, who died in 1727. In April 1737, after forty years in the Mint, Haynes was allowed to appoint a deputy. He retired on full pension, 8 February 1749, retaining the auditorship of the tally office in the exchequer.〔 It was through Haynes that William Whiston, in 1712, communicated with Newton on the subject of baptism. Richard Baron described Haynes as a Unitarian. He attended the services of the Church of England, sitting down at certain parts till Samuel Say told him his practice was inconsistent, and he never again attended a place of worship.〔 Haynes died at Queen Square, Westminster, on 19 November 1749, aged 77.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hopton Haynes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
