Notes

Death appears in the parish register of Hursley, transcribed in "The Origin of Stephen Hopkins of the Mayflower" TAG 73(3): Oct 1998 p.163, as: "[1613] Mary Hopkines the wife of Steeven Hopkines was buried the ix day of May" Her inventory is dated 10 May 1613 at Hursley, and is printed in "The True Origin of Stephen Hopkins of the Mayflower", on record at the Hampshire Record Office, granted 12 May 1613 to "Roberto Lyte [vir] gard de hursly" and "thome Syms vir supra[vis]sor p[er] pauper", during the minority of "Constance, Elize[beth] et Egidij" ("et Egidij" is latin for "and Giles"). The inventory calls her a widow, although her burial record calls her "wife of Stephen Hopkins". Caleb Johnson's article points out that the Stephen Hopkins of the Sea Venture disembarked in 1609, and was still in Virginia in 1613, condition unknown back in Hursley. So, it may have been easier to assume him deceased so as to free up property for the children's support.
