• Constance Hopkins (baptized May 11, 1606 – October 1677), also sometimes listed as Constanta. She was probably born in Hursley, Hampshire, England. Constance was the second daughter of Stephen Hopkins, by his first wife, Mary. Some believe she was named in honor of Constance (Marline) Hopkins. Constance, at the age of fourteen, along with her father and his second wife Elizabeth (Fisher), accompanied by brother Giles, half-sister Damaris as well as two servants by the name of Edward Doty and Edward Lester were passengers on the Mayflower on its journey to the New World in 1620. Along the way her half-brother Oceanus was born, the only child born on the Mayflower journey. Her headstone marker, placed in 1966 by descendants, states in part “Wife of Nicholas Snow, Eastham’s first town clerk 1646 – 1662”.
• Constance married Nicholas, sometime before the Division of Cattle which occurred May 22, 1627. Nicholas came to Plymouth on board the ship Anne in 1623 and was made a freeman at Plymouth in 1633. The inventory of Nicholas Snow's estate made at his death lists a wide variety of cooper's and carpenter's tools; this may indicate his trade. He was town clerk at Eastham and held several other local government offices.
• According to Governor William Bradford, who wrote between March 6 and April 3, 1651:
• “Constanta is also married, and hath 12 children all of them living, and one of them married”.

Nicholas Snow: Passenger on the Anne

Nicholas Snow came to Plymouth from England on the Anne in 1623.[5] This is documented in the 1623 division of land.[6]

Nicholas Snow & the 1623 Land Division

The 1623 division of land marked the end of the Pilgrims’ earliest system of land held in common by all. Governor Bradford explains it this way :

"And so assigned to every family a parcel of land, according to the proportion of their number, for that end, only for the present use (but made no division for inheritance) and ranged all boys and youth under some family. This had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been by any means the Governor or any other could use, and saved him a great deal of trouble, and gave far better content. The women now went willingly into the field, and took their little ones with them to set corn; which before would allege weakness and inability; whom to have compelled would have been thought great tyranny and oppression."[7]

Plymouth Colony Records, Deeds, &c., Vol. I 1627-1651 is the oldest record book of the Plymouth settlement. It begins with the 1623 division of land, recorded in the handwriting of Governor William Bradford. The lands of Nicholas Snow are described as "The fales of their ground which came ouer in the shipe called the Anne according as their were case. 1623… these following lye on the other side of the towne towards the eele-riuer … These butt against Hobs Hole. Nicolas Snow." [Also in this are were the lands of Anthony Dix, Mr. Pierce’s 2 servants, and Ralph Walen.]

Founding of Eastham

“The settlement of the town [Eastham?], commenced in April, 1644, under favorable auspices, was so augmented by accessions, that application was soon made to the Colony Court for its incorporation; and, June 2, 1646, the result was recorded in these words: ‘NAUSET is granted to be a township and to have all the privileges of a township as other towns within the government have.’ Thus recognized, a meeting of the inhabitants, duly convened, elected NICHOLAS SNOW town-clerk, EDWARD BANGS town treasurer, and JOSIAS COOK town constable.” And “Mr. Cook was one of the founders of E. [Eastham]."[2]

Family

Nicholas and Constance Hopkins Snow had 12 children:

1. Mark, born 1628; married to Jane Prence, 9 January 1660
2. Mary, born c,1630;
3. Sarah, born c.1632;
4. Joseph, born c.1634; second wife Mary Higgins
5. Stephen, born c.1636; m Mary Rogers; m Mary Bickford 9 Apr 1701
6. John, born c.1638;
7. Elizabeth, born c.1640;
8. Jabez, born c.1642;

10. unnamed child, born c.1646;
11. unnamed child, born c.1648;
12. unnamed child, born c.1650.

COMMENTS: Bradford, in describing the family of STEPHEN HOPKINS in 1651, stated that "His daughter Constanta is also married and hath twelve children, all of them living and one of them married". (In 1893 Mrs. M.L.T. Alden suggested that two of the children who are implied by Bradford's accounting but do not otherwise appear in the records were Hannah and Rebecca "on the authority of Davis's Landmarks of Plymouth. Both married Rickards"; she cites no evidence.)[76]

Research Notes

In January 1634/5 the Plymouth court noted that "The servant of Nicolas Snow was willing to serve out his time with John Cooper, according to the tenor of his indenture". This servant was not the same as Twiford West who, after brief service with Nicholas Snow, agreed on 12 February 1635/6 to return to Edward Winslow, with whom he had originally made his indenture.

Nicholas Snow and others were presented 1 December 1640 for failing to mend the highways.

In 1893 Mrs. M.L.T. Alden published a substantial article on Nicholas Snow and his children.

"(In 1893 Mrs. M.L.T. Alden suggested that two of the children who are implied by Bradford's accounting but do not otherwise appear in the records were Hannah and Rebecca "on the authority of Davis's Landmarks of Plymouth (page 246). Both married Rickards"; she cites no evidence.)[76]"

shirley says:

This article by Mrs. M. L. T. Alden (Mary Langford Taylor (1846-1923) married Charles L Alden) is from a selected collection of NEHGS Register articles mostly from the mid-1890s. Very outdated and often not even right to begin with (REpublished with same wrong info in 1985)

“Genealogies of Mayflower Families, Vol. III: Snow Genealogy.” Page 350. < AncestryImage >

Alden credits page 246 of Davis's book (incorrectly titled) pub.1883 for Hannah and Rebecca's being daughters of Nicholas Snow and Constance Hopkins. They weren't. They are daus of William Snow/Rebecca Brown/e whose father was on the Mayflower.

In 1948 Donald Lines Jacobus prepared an account of Nicholas Snow and a line of descent through his son Stephen.

Constance Hopkins & Nicholas Snow in 17th Century Records

Nicholas Snow was born about 1599-1600 in England. His parents are not known. Earlier genealogies that assigned him as the son of Nicholas Snow & Elizabeth Rowlles have been disproven; their son, Nicholas Snow, died 28 Jan 1600 in Middlesex, England. The Nicholas Snow of this profile grew up in England. He was a Puritan, believing that the Church of England needed spiritual reform. He arrived in Plymouth, New England, as a young man aboard the ship “Anne” in 1623. He married about 1 June 1627 in Plymouth, Plymouth Colony Constance Hopkins. He was among the first settlers of Eastham, in 1644. He was a freeman, in Eastham in 1655, and served in many town offices. Nicholas Snow died 15 Nov 1676 in Eastham, Plymouth Colony, and is buried in the Cove Burying Ground, Eastham.[3]

Constance Hopkins was baptized 11 May 1606 at Hursley, Hampshire, England. (Alternatively, she was born 25 Jan 1599 Wooten, Underedge, Gloucestershire. This alternative is considered unlikely or for a homonym). Constance's parents were Stephen Hopkins and his first wife, Mary (Kent) Hopkins. She was a Mayflower passenger, along with her father and stepmother.

Constance (Hopkins) Snow passed away on 25 November 1677 in Eastham, Plymouth Colony, New England and is buried in the Cove Burying Ground, Eastham, next to her late husband who had died one year earlier.

Constance’s father, Stephen Hopkins, was born about 1580 in Hursley, Hampshire, England and was baptized 30 Apr 1581 in Upper Clatford, Hampshire. He first married Constance’s mother, Mary Kent (1583 - 1613), and after her death in 1613, he remarried to Elizabeth Fisher, who accompanied him and his children on the Mayflower in 1620.

Constance Hopkins: Mayflower Passenger

"The names of those which came over first, in the year 1620, and were by the blessing of God the first beginners and in a sort the foundation of all the Plantations and Colonies in new England; and their families… "Mr. Stephen Hopkins and Elizabeth his wife, and two children called Giles and Constanta, a daughter, both by a former wife. And two more by this wife called Damaris and Oceanus; the last was born at sea. And two servants called Edward Doty and Edward Lester."[4]

Nicholas Snow: Passenger on the Anne

Nicholas Snow came to Plymouth from England on the Anne in 1623.[5] This is documented in the 1623 division of land.[6]

Nicholas Snow & the 1623 Land Division

The 1623 division of land marked the end of the Pilgrims’ earliest system of land held in common by all. Governor Bradford explains it this way :

"And so assigned to every family a parcel of land, according to the proportion of their number, for that end, only for the present use (but made no division for inheritance) and ranged all boys and youth under some family. This had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been by any means the Governor or any other could use, and saved him a great deal of trouble, and gave far better content. The women now went willingly into the field, and took their little ones with them to set corn; which before would allege weakness and inability; whom to have compelled would have been thought great tyranny and oppression."[7]
Plymouth Colony Records, Deeds, &c., Vol. I 1627-1651 is the oldest record book of the Plymouth settlement. It begins with the 1623 division of land, recorded in the handwriting of Governor William Bradford. The lands of Nicholas Snow are described as "The fales of their ground which came ouer in the shipe called the Anne according as their were case. 1623… these following lye on the other side of the towne towards the eele-riuer … These butt against Hobs Hole. Nicolas Snow." [Also in this are were the lands of Anthony Dix, Mr. Pierce’s 2 servants, and Ralph Walen.]

Nicholas Snow: 1626 Purchaser

"Isaac Allerton negotiated in England an agreement dated 26 October 1626 between the Adventurers and himself as ‘one of the planters resident at Plymouth afforesaid, assigned, and sent over as agent for the rest of the planters ther,’ whereby the adventurers for L1,800 sold to the planters, later known as the Purchasers, all the ‘said stocks, shares, lands, merchandise, and chatles’ which had belonged to the Adventurers. The list we have of the Purchaser is from the PCR 2:177, and was obviously compiled sometime after the 1626 agreement, for Richard Warren died in 1628, and his wife replaced him on the list, and John Billington was hanged in 1630, and his share is represented on the list by his surname only. Though the following year the fifty-eight Purchasers in turn assigned both the shares in the company and the debt to the eight Plymouth and four London Undertakers, the list of Purchasers continued to be an important one for, in general, these people were privileged above all others in future land grants in the colony. The list, consisting of fifty-three Plymouth names plus the names of five London men, is as follows : ‘The Names of the Purchasers. Mr Wm Bradford, Mr. Thom Prence, Mr Wm Brewster… Jonathan Brewster, Edward Banges, Nicholas Snow, Steven Hopkins, Abraham Pearse…"[8]

Nicholas and Constance (Hopkins) Snow: 1627 Division of Cattle

Nicholas and Constance (Hopkins) Snow: Children

Nicholas and Constance Hopkins Snow had 12 children:

Mark, born 1628; married to Jane Prence, 9 January 1660
Mary, born c,1630;
Sarah, born c.1632;
Joseph, born c.1634; second wife Mary Higgins
Stephen, born c.1636; m Mary Rogers; m Mary Bickford 9 Apr 1701
John, born c.1638;
Elizabeth, born c.1640;
Jabez, born c.1642;
Ruth, born c.1644;
unnamed child, born c.1646;
unnamed child, born c.1648;
unnamed child, born c.1650.
COMMENTS: Bradford, in describing the family of STEPHEN HOPKINS in 1651, stated that "His daughter Constanta is also married and hath twelve children, all of them living and one of them married". (In 1893 Mrs. M.L.T. Alden suggested that two of the children who are implied by Bradford's accounting but do not otherwise appear in the records were Hannah and Rebecca "on the authority of Davis's Landmarks of Plymouth. Both married Rickards"; she cites no evidence.)[79]

Research Notes

In January 1634/5 the Plymouth court noted that "The servant of Nicolas Snow was willing to serve out his time with John Cooper, according to the tenor of his indenture". This servant was not the same as Twiford West who, after brief service with Nicholas Snow, agreed on 12 February 1635/6 to return to Edward Winslow, with whom he had originally made his indenture.
Nicholas Snow and others were presented 1 December 1640 for failing to mend the highways.
In 1893 Mrs. M.L.T. Alden published a substantial article on Nicholas Snow and his children. In 1948 Donald Lines Jacobus prepared an account of Nicholas Snow and a line of descent through his son Stephen.
