I believe that you are looking into the same Hope family as I belong to.I have found no reliable information about the parents of the James Hope who migrated from Northern Ireland to Pennsylvania in the 1730's.Family legend has it that he is a descendant of Thomas Hope, ancestor of the Hopes of Linlithgow and Hopetoun House and among the senior peers of Scotland.This is extremely unlikely (I would almost say impossible).I have found no descendant of Thomas Hope (and they are well documented) who could be an ancestor of James.I am currently doing research in Northern Ireland to try to track him down and will be visiting there in a month or so.
There are many other researchers on James on this Forum, notably Linda Hope.
