"The American Genealogist" (TAG), July
1998, vol.73:161-171 contains an
article by Caleb Johnson, "The True Origin Of Stephen1 Hopkins Of The
Mayflower".
Caleb Johnson is the webmaster of The Mayflower Web Page - that wonderful
site of *accurate* information on the Mayflower and passengers
(http://members.aol.com/calebj/mayflower.html)
The article relates the new information uncovered including the name of his
first wife, the mother of his eldest children Giles & Constance. For years
her name has been given as Constance Dudley - but the records in England
were finally uncovered which show that his first wife was named Mary - her
maiden name unknown as the marriage record has yet to be found. Stephen &
Mary had the following children, whose baptism records were located at
Hursley, Hampshire, England:
1. Elizabeth, bpt. 13 May 1604
2. Constance, bpt. 11 May 1606
3. Giles, bpt. 30 Jan. 1607/8
Those with Hopkins ancestry should really have a copy of this article.
Inquiries on the purchase of the issue ($7.00 a single issue) should be
sent to : The American Genealogist, P.O.Box 398, Demorest, GA 30535-0398.
