Saya mau tau Tahun bisnis dari Johns Hopkins

Setelah dia meninggalkan perkebunan, Hopkins bekerja di bisnis grosiran pamannya. Bisnis sukses pertamanya datang ketika pamannya pergi Perang 1812.

Ketika tinggal di rumah pamannya, dia jatuh cinta kepada sepupunya, Elizabeth Hopkins. Dalam Quakers penilaian terhadap perkawinan antara sepupu sangat kuat dan orang tua Elizabeth tidak mengizinkan mereka untuk menikah. Mereka berjanji tak akan menikah kepada orang lain dan tetap melajang selama hidup mereka. Sama dengan anggota keluarga yang lain, Johns juga menyediakan rumah untuk Elizabeth pada masa tuanya. Elizabeth hidup sampai kematiannya pada 1889, hampir 15 tahun setelah kematian Johns.

Setelah dia meninggalkan bisnis pamannya, Hopkins dan Benjamin Moore, juga seorang Quaker, menjalankan bisnis bersama. Bisnis tersebut kemudian menjadi Hopkins & Brothers ketika Moore membatalkan kerja sama mereka dan menyatakan bahwa Johns mencintai uang lebih daripadanya.
