Dear Kathy, Meagan, Leslie & Charlie, Most of the following were posts to the Mayflower Descendants Message Boards, but all were 'gatewayed' to the Mayflower Mail List. Since I have seen no replies to any of them, I shall try to address all issues. On 2 Mar 2002, Kathy Evanson posted the following to the Mayflower Descendants Message Boards: > I am a descendant of Stephen Hopkins' daughter, Constance and John Snow>Rebecca Snow and Benjamin Small(ey)>Rebecca Small & Ebenezer Woodworth and on down the line. I am new to the list and would appreciate any help anyone could give on whether the Woodworths of America, descendants of Walter Woodworth of Scituate book by Jeanette Behan has been accepted by the Mayflower Society. If so, it would greatly reduce the amount of proof I would need to acquire. > > Thank you! Kathy Evanson > On 8 May 2002, Meagan Swartly added the following: > Hiya Kathleen, > I wanted to see how we were related so i adde the info you posted in your last message to my family > tree maker.

Let me point out that no one (with one possible exception) has cited any source(s) for the above information :-). 2. Even though all of the above concern Mayflower Passenger Stephen Hopkins, no one has bothered to change the subject line in order to reflect their specific ancestral concerns/questions (?). 3. The standard reference for Stephen Hopkins is the "silver book" published by the General Society of Mayflower Descendants: "Mayflower Families Through Five Generations: Family of Stephen Hopkins" by John D. Austin, F.A.S.G. Vol. 6. [My copy is the 2nd edition, 1995]. 4. Kathy: John D. Austin cites the following source regarding the Woodworth family: "Woodworth family of America" by James R. Pierce, et ano. (1975). I don't know how this differs from the one you asked about that was authored by Jeanette Behan. However, you will find a discussion of Ebenezer Woodworth and his marriage to Rebecca Small on pp 295-296 in the "Hopkins silver book" (Generation 5). At this time, the family was of Lebanon, New London, CT, although some did remove to Nova Scotia. 5. Meagan: I'm not sure if there was a question in your post, so I cannot add anything for you specifically. But, yes, Damaris Hopkins and her marriage to Jacob Cooke is discussed on pp 13 & 14 in the "Hopkins Silver book" (Generation 2). 6. Leslie: According to the Hopkins 'silver book,' most of the descendants of Jabez Snow (5th generation) were still living in Eastham or Harwich (see pp 325-341), although the family of Solomon Kenwrick did remove to Barrington, NS. I'm sure we'd all be interested in learning about your Snows who were "all of NS." 7. Charlie: Sadly, the Hopkins "silver book" does not positively identify the surname of the wife of Jabez Snow, but merely says: "It has been suggested that Elizabeth (his wife) was the dau. of that name b. at Hingham in September of 1648 to Ralph Smith." Further research would be required in order to prove this theory. And, it has not been satisfactorily proven that Sarah (b. 16 or 26 Feb. 1673 and recorded at Eastham) [MD 5:22] Snow is the girl who married (1st) Henry Young and (2nd) Jonathan Sparrow. According to Bowman, it was "very likely" [Hopkins p 23], and Austin continues thus: "If so, this Sarah d. 28 Nov 1746, ae. 73, bur. Orleans, and is the mother of five Young and two Sparrow children." Again, further research would be necessary in order to prove this relationship.
