us to infer that it was the Pilgrim Hopkins.  On further inquiry it
     transpires that the person who was at variance with Master John
     Pierce over the matter of passage and freight money, on account of
     the unfortunate Paragon, was a Rev. Master Hopkins (not Stephen of
     the may-Flower), who, we learn from Neill’s “History of the Virginia
     Company,” was “recommended July 3, 1622, by the Court of the Company
     to the Governor of Virginia, . . . being desirous to go over at
     his own charge.  He was evidently a passenger on both of the
     disastrous attempts of the Paragon under Captain William Pierce, and
     being forced back the second time, apparently gave up the intention
     of going.

Mrs. Elizabeth Hopkins, nothing is known concerning, except that she was
     not her husband’s first wife.  Sometime apparently elapsed between
     her husband’s marriages.

Giles Hopkins we only know was the son of his father’s first wife, and
     “about 15.”  An error (of the types presumably) makes Griffis ("The
     Pilgrims in their Three Homes,” p. 176) give the name of Oceanus
     Hopkins’s father as Giles, instead of Stephen.  Constance (or
     Constantia) Hopkins was apparently about eleven years old in 1620,
     as she married in 1627, and probably was then not far from eighteen
     years old.  Damaris Hopkins, the younger daughter of Master Hopkins,
     was probably a very young child when she came in the may-Flower, but
     her exact age has not been as certained.  Davis, as elsewhere noted,
     makes the singular mistake of saying she was born after her parents
     arrived in New England.  She married Jacob Cooke, and the
     ante-nuptial agreement of his parents is believed to be the
     earliest of record in America, except that between Gregory
     Armstrong and the widow Billington.

Edward Dotey is called by Bradford “a servant,” but nothing is known of
     his age or antecedents.  It is very certain from the fact that he
     signed the Compact that he was twenty-one.  He was a very energetic
     man.  He seems to have been married before coming to New England, or
     soon after.

Edward Leister (the name is variously spelled) was a “servant,” by
     Bradford’s record.  He was doubtless of age, as he signed the
     Compact.

Master John Crackstone, being (apparently) a widower with a son, a child
     well grown, was evidently about thirty five years old when he
     embarked for New England.  He left a daughter behind.  He died early.

John Crackstone, Jr., was but a lad, and died early.
