Pilgrim Elizabeth Fisher Hopkins

The Saga of the Plymouth Colony Told By The Women Who Lived It.
The story of Elizabeth Fisher Hopkins is reenacted by Betty Prince a member of the Society of Mayflower descendants.
Stephen Hopkins played an active role among the Pilgrims when they first arrived at Cape Cod. He went on the early explorations in search of the best place to establish their colony. Mary and Stephen Hopkins hosted Samoset for a night when the Native visited the new Plantation in the spring of 1621. When the Pokanoket leader, Massasoit Ousa Mequin called on the English to work out a treaty, The Hopkins offered our home as a meeting place for the negotiations. He later accompanied other Englishmen on trips to visit the Pokanoket people.
Because of Stephen Hopkin's his knowledge of the New World was so valuable that he continued as an Assistant to Governor Bradford until 1636.
