Biographical Summary
Giles Hopkins was baptized on 30
January 1607/8 in Hursley, Hampshire, England, to parents Stephen Hopkins and
his first wife Mary. It should be noted that the long-standing
Constance Dudley myth was disproven in 1998: the Hopkins family of the
Mayflower was not from Wortley, Gloucester as had been previously
speculated and published.
Giles came with his father Stephen,
step-mother Elizabeth, sister Constance, and step-sister Damaris on the
Mayflower in 1620, at the age of 12. He volunteered for
service in the 1637 Pequot War but was not called. He married
Catherine Wheldon in 1639 at Plymouth; the family moved shortly
thereafter to Yarmouth, living there for about five years before moving
on to settle at Eastham, where he died sometime between 1688 and 1690.
