Biography

The General Society of Mayflower Descendants (GSMD) and the Pilgrim Hopkins Heritage Society (PHHS) have provisionally accepted the identity of [1] Mary Kent, daughter of Robert Kent & Joan Machell of Hursley, Hants, as the first wife of Stephen Hopkins. This identification was first proposed by by Simon Neal in a couple of Mayflower Quarterly articles.[1] Caleb Johnson also stated this identification was probable.[2]

Stephen & Mary were married about 1603, likely at the parish church in Hursley. They had children baptized (at Hursley) 13 May 1604 (Elizabeth), 11 May 1606 (Constance), and 30 Jan 1607/8 (Giles).[3] Mary was buried at Hursley on 9 May 1613.[4]

The Mayflower Quarterly (Plymouth, MA: The General Society of Mayflower Descendants), March 2013, vol. 79, no. 1. This identity is not 100% verified, but has much supporting evidence.

mtDNA Results V

According to "The Mayflower Quarterly"[1], three matrilineal (all female line) descendants from three of the four known daughters of Constance (Hopkins) Snow: viz: Sarah (Snow) Walker, Ruth (Snow) Cole, and Mary (Snow) Paine, all were mtDNA tested and they all came up matching each other. The FamilyTreeDNA Mayflower Project currently has three individuals listed under Mary, wife of Stephen Hopkins.[2] They all fall under the V Haplogroup[3] Names in bold font have mtDNA descendants who have mtDNA tested.

  6. ↑ Josiah Paine (1836-1917), a Town Clerk and Historian for Harwich had written where Constance, daughter of Nicholas and Constance Snow, was the first wife of Deacon Daniel Doane. However, the General Society of Mayflower Descendants conducted mtDNA testing of two supposed matrilineal (all female line) descendants (apparently both of these individuals had some issues with their paper trail lineage) of this line did not match the known mtDNA of Constance and her mother (The Mayflower Quarterly Fall 2019, p. 40). Also private correspondence with Christopher Child, Genetices Editor for Newbury Street Press and Editor of Mayflower Descendant.
