Background
Biography
The General Society of Mayflower Descendants (GSMD) accepts the marriage recorded in the Parish register, St Mary Matfellon, Whitechapel, of Stephen Hopkins to Elizabeth Fisher on 19 Feb 1617[/18] as the second marriage of Pilgrim Stephen Hopkins.[1]. Her parentage and ancestry has not been discovered to date. The couple were on the Mayflower, along with their daughter Damaris and two children from Stephen's first marriage (to Mary): Constance & Giles. The family remained in the original New Plimouth settlement, where Elizabeth is said to have died sometime around 1642.[2]

- ↑ She was not mentioned in her husband's will, dated 6 Jun 1644, so is believed to have died before that date. A date of death for Elizabeth of 4 Feb 1639 has been proposed, but it is currently unknown (to this compiler) where this date came from.
mtDNA Results
We are currently looking for volunteers who are matrilineal descendants of Elizabeth to take a full mtDNA test.
mtDNA Descendants
FIRST GENERATION
Elizabeth & Stephen had two sons and five daughters.
SECOND GENERATION
Damaris (c1618) was likely still alive in the 1623 Land division (as her father's company received six shares), but likely was not enumerated in the 1627 Cattle division. A younger sister was named after her, so she died young.
Deborah was apparently born before the 1627 Cattle division.[1] She married (Plymouth 23 Apr 1646) Andrew Ring and she died after 1659.[2] They had three sons and four daughters (Elizabeth, Mary, Susanna & Deborah)
Damaris (second of the name) was almost certainly born after the 1627 Cattle division. She married (Plymouth after 10 Jun 1646) John Cooke. She died there before Nov 1669.[3] They had three sons and five daughters (Elizabeth, Rebecca, Mary, Martha & Ruth)
Ruth (c1630) died unmarried sometime between Nov 1644 and Jun 1651.
Elizabeth (c1632) also apparently never married. Her estate was appraised on 6 Oct 1659 "in case Elizabeth Hopkins do come no more."[4]
