Modern Re-Creation of Plymouth Plantation

Stephen Hopkins was born in April, 1582 in Upper Clatford, Test Valley Borough, Hampshire, England.

Sometime before 1604, he married Mary Kent.  They had three children:
        Elizabeth            b. 1604                       d. after 1613, before 1620
        Constance          b. May 11, 1606         d. 1677
        Giles                  b. Jan 30, 1607           d. 1690

In 1609, Stephen went as a minister's clerk on the ship "Venture", voyaging to Jamestown, Virginia. 
The ship wrecked near Barbados, and the passengers were stranded on an island for ten months. Eventually, they built a small ship and sailed to Jamestown. It is unknown how long he stayed in Jamestown, but he was there when his wife died in England in 1613. 

Stephen was back in England by 1617 when he married Elizabeth Fisher. Their first child, Damaris, was born in 1618. 

In 1620, Stephen, Elizabeth, Constance, Giles, and Damaris sailed on the Mayflower. Their son was born during the voyage and was named Oceanus. Once at Plymouth, five more children were born:                             
                     Oceanus   b. 1620            d. 1621
                     Caleb       b. 1624             d. btw 1644 and 1651
                     Deborah   b. 1626             d.  unknown
                     Damaris   b. 1628             d.  1669
                                    (the previous child Damaras died between 1618-1626), 
                     Ruth,        b. 1630            d.   btw 1644 and 1651      
                     Elizabeth, b. 1632.           d.  1659

Stephen was chosen by the Governor to be the colony's emissary to tribal leader Massasoit. 

He was often cited by the authorities for his behavior - excessive drinking, allowing drinking on the Sabbath, overcharging for beer, selling goods at inflated prices. 

Stephen Hopkins died sometime between early June and mid July 1644. His wife Elizabeth died sometime in the early 1640's, and he expressed his wish to be buried next to her. They were buried on Burial Hill in Plymouth.

Welcome!

Welcome to my genealogy blog! I'm just getting started, but I hope to share family trees, facts, and stories I've uncovered while researching my family and Dave's family. So, I will be posting family trees for the ancestors of Edward Elihu Hazen Jr.,  Ruth Ann Bradley, Roy Ellsworth Stricker, and Anna Elnora Rosemeyer,  My genealogy is a work in progress, and although I strive for accuracy, and have at least one (usually several) historical record to back up each name and relationship, I do make revisions from time to time. My goal for each branch is to trace direct ancestors at leas as far as the first immigrant to the U.S.  I'm new at blogging, so please be patient - I'm learning as I go. Again, welcome! Starla

Rosemeyer Family Tree - Friederick Rosemeyer and Eleanor Kolling

Friederich Rosemeyer  and Eleanor Kolling - Immigrants to Indianapolis Family Connection - great-grandfather and great-grandmother to Anna Rosemeyer Friederich Rosemeyer was born in Germany on Aug. 25, 1844.  I haven't found a marriage record (yet!) but in 1873, he immigrated to the U.S. with his wife Eleanor, age 31, daughter Christine, age 4, and son Friederich, age 11 months. They arrived in New York on September 19th. I assume they traveled by train to Indianapolis from New York City.  Why Indianapolis? We may never know for sure, but it is likely they came because they had connections to other members of Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church (now Zion United  Church of Christ). Indianapolis had a large German immigrant community, and at Zion, they worshipped in German until at least 1928, when the first services in English occurred.  Friederich and Eleanor had six children:     Christina      1869-1875     Frederick  ...
