Notes for: Constance Hopkins

Constance Hopkins was one of the 102 Pilgrims, along with a crew of 25-30, on the Mayflower, arriving at Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts in November 1620. She journeyed with her father and stepmother, Stephen and Elizabeth Hopkins, her brother Giles, her half-sister Damaris and her half-brother Oceanus, who was born during the voyage.

Sometime before 1627, Constance Hopkins married Nicholas Snow, who had arrived at Plymouth on the Anne in 1623. The inventory of Nicholas’ estate, taken at the time of his death, includes carpenter’s tools. This may have been his trade. His inventory also included books, so he was probably literate. Nicholas held various minor positions in Plymouth, such as highway surveyor. The Snows moved from Plymouth to Nauset, on Cape Cod in the 1640s. On the Cape, Nicholas served as surveyor, constable and selectman. Constance and Nicholas had 12 children. Nicholas died in November of 1676, Constance a year later in October of 1677.
