Adin Ballou Biography

Hopedale Town History

The table below gives information about members and other participants in the Hopedale Community, as far as it has been ascertained. The list is not complete. Adin Ballou stated that the total number of members added between 1841 and 1856 was 197. The table contains membership dates for 167 people, including eight who joined after 1856. The table generally does not include non-members who were granted permission to live at Hopedale, people who were proposed for membership but rejected, or probationers who never went on to become members. However, it does include non-members who were spouses of members, as well as a few non-members who held offices or otherwise figured prominently in Community affairs.

Formal membership was not the same thing as participation in Community life. Some members never lived at Hopedale or took part in its day-to-day operations. Some people were active participants for years before they become members; others served on committees, and even held important Community offices, without ever becoming members. Many people left the community without formally resigning their membership. Others resigned, but remained active. For this reason, the table shows not only membership dates, but approximate dates of activity, where available. These dates are necessarily less precise than the membership dates, but should help to give a fuller picture of the complex ways in which people interacted with the Community.

The "Spouse" and "Other Relationships" highlight the extent to which Hopedale was a web of personal and family relationships. The Draper brothers, who played such a crucial role in the history of Hopedale, were part of one such web, the Draper/Thwing/Cook family. The community included aunts, uncles, and cousins; parents and their grown children; and many pairs of siblings. The prevalence of certain surnames suggests that there were more relationships than are documented here. In part this was a result of the sponsorial system, whereby people applying for membership had to be sponsored by existing members. And of course, Hopedale created relationships as well as building upon them; Adin Ballou's daughter Abbie was not the only person to marry a fellow Community member.

The information in the table comes from a variety of sources: the Records of the Proceedings of Fraternal Community No. 1 (1841-1851) and the Record Book of the Hopedale Community (1851-1868); the record book of the Hopedale Sewing Circle; History of the Hopedale Community; History of the Town of Milford, particularly the "Biographico-Genealogical Register" of Milford families; other genealogies and family histories; and birth, death, marriage, and census records. The dates of birth, death, and marriage come from a variety of genealogical and other sources, and are of variable quality. (Dates of marriage are shown in the table only if one or both partners were at Hopedale at the time of the marriage.) The dates of membership and of resignation of membership come principally from the minutes of Community meetings, which note the Community's votes on applications for membership, and record the receipt of letters of resignation. The Sewing Circle records are a particularly valuable source of information about the activities of the women of the Community. For the purpose of determining activity dates, participation in the Sewing Circle is counted as participation in the Community. For example, Hannah Thwing Draper, who refused on principle to join the Community, is listed as having been active from 1855 to 1861 on the basis of her participation in the Sewing Circle.

A version of this table is printed in the annotated edition of Adin Ballou's History of the Hopedale Community (Blackstone Editions, 2010). Data shown in red has been added or updated after 2010 and so is more up-to-date than that in the printed book.
