  • Notes 
    • She married John Hopkins on 28 July 1579 in Upper Clatford, Hampshire.

      Their son Stephen Hopkins was a passenger on the Mayflower and a settler of Plymouth Colony.

      4 October 1593 is the date she was appointed administrator of her late husband, John's estate.

      In Winchester, the widow Elizabeth was appointed administrator of his estate (he having died end of August since his inventory was 4 September 1593) on 4 October 1593, with William Hopkins (probably not Stephen's older half-brother since he was born around 1575 and wouldn't be of age) signing the bond.

      We don't know her birth or death dates or locations or parents. The Morgan Williams and the Elizabeth Breyton in the real world weren't even in the same generation, much less married to each other or parents of the Elizabeth Williams who married John Hopkins. Morgan Williams did have a daughter named Elizabeth who married Robert Whitney. Elizabeth Breyton was the GRANDMOTHER of Morgan's daughter's husband. Research the mother of Sybil Baskerville.

      Many of the "sources" saved to this woman happened after she'd died. Check the baptisms from different counties in different centuries.

      None of the burial records are believed by Hopkins or Mayflower researchers and scholars to be hers. "Suggested Records" are killing this family.

      A little out-of-date but all the basics from Upper Clatford, Winchester and Hursley are there.

      See updates on 2012 research on 1st wife Mary are at Stephen Hopkins Wikipedia page. It's pretty good for a "communal" effort.
