Hopton Haynes

From SOCINIANISM IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY ENGLAND, 1951 by John McLachlan

Apparently Hedworth lived in London until 1705,² when his will was proved.   [..]   His will mentions Christopher and Samuel Crellius, Hopton Haynes, the friend of Sir Isaac Newton, and John Smith, the clockmaker and Unitarian tract writer. [Etc.]

² In 1676 he was living in Noxton (P. C. C.. Wills, 1679, fol. 132).

Oxford 1951, pp. 315-16.

From SIR ISAAC NEWTON, Warden of the Mint, 2003 by The British Royal Mint

The medieval organisation of the Mint . . .   Even someone of Newton's stature could not impose change without the willing co-operation of his colleagues 'with whom I find it sometimes difficult to agree'.   With Hopton Haynes, eventually King's Assay Master, he got on well, while Sir John Stanley, his successor as Warden, appears to have been cheerful and good natured, but there were disputes with others, . .    And Newton himself . . was . . 'of the most fearful, cautious, and suspicious temper' in the words of a contemporary, (etc).

Based on NEWTON AND SOCINIANISM, 2003 by Stephen David Sobelen

Hopton Haynes, one of the officers who served under Newton at the Royal Mint, not only worked in the affairs of the Mint ; the two also worked together in things antitrinitarian. Haynes produced in 1709 a translation of the first part of Newton's "Two notable corruptions". Two books published by Haynes after Newton's death confirm that his was a Christological Socinian.

[London], 1718 Dec 24. Partly printed document, an order from the English Parliament to repay "Sir Isaac Newton Knt., Hopton Haynes Esqr. & others in trust" the sum of �200 lent to His Majesty's Exchequer in May of the same year. On verso Newton and Haynes have added their signatures below an endorsement transferring the �200 and interest thereon to one Francis Hall Esqr. Laminated to silk on the face [ . . etc.]   Estimate $10,000-15,000   Comment This was copied from MATTHEW BENNETT (Auction House Serving the Philatelic World since 1948) pages ( http://www.bennettstamps.com/sale265/chap0005.htmon ) on 5 November 2003. The item is presumably going to be sold sooner or later. It seems significant as evidence of close co-work by Haynes the Unitarian and Newton on various matters. (WPT)
