Dear William Descendants, For those of you who are descended from William Jr., John, Isaac, Isaac, there is a Mayflower link through the wife of the 2nd Isaac, Thankful Maker, which leads back to Stephen and Giles Hopkins, Mayflower passengers. I have found a wonderful Mayflower site, which has announced that the true identity of Stephen Hopkins' first wife (always assumed to be Constance Dudley) has finally been discovered. After 400 years, this is exciting news. The findings will be published in the July 1988 issue of "The American Genealogist." Once the issue is out, Caleb Johnson will be posting the information on his Mayflower Web Site. <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/calebj/mayflower.html"> The Mayflower Web Pages</A> The url is: http://members.aol.com/calebj/mayflower.html I clicked on Mayflower Compact, then clicked on Stephen Hopkins name. I have no connection with Mr. Johnson, nor any financial interest at all in this - I am just darned excited that I may finally find out the identity of my 10th Great-grandmother. I know anyone else with Hopkins connections will also find this terribly exciting. I don't think Mr. Johnson would mind my directing you to his very informative site. Mr. Johnson also claims that a large amount of new information about Stephen Hopkins, including the baptisms of Giles and Constance, has been found. If so, this is truly a major genealogical event! (Almost as good as finding out where William Chase was from!) Happy Discoveries, Lisa Zajkowski
