Johns Hopkins: The University's Founder. Johns Hopkins was born in 1795. He inherited his unusual first name from his grandfather, who was named after Johns' great grandmother, Margaret Johns. When Johns was 17, his mother sent him off to Baltimore to work for his uncle, a wholesale grocer.
Politically he is known for his contribution to the design of the Great Seal of the United States, signing the Declaration of Independence, and serving in a variety of governmental positions. Hopkinson was a consultant to the second Great Seal committee in 1780, a few years after the first American flag was created.
