Individual Details
Elizabeth Hopkins
(Abt 1632 - Bef 29 Sep 1659)
On 30 November 1644, Elizabeth's custody was given after the death of her father and when she was still a child, to Richard Sparrow, who was to keep her "as his own child until the tyme of her marriage or untill shee be nineteene yeares of age;" Captain Myles Standish brought an action against Sparrow on her behalf for breach of contract 5 October 1656; she was a witness in a slander action in 1651, died unmarried after October of 1657 and perhaps before 29 September 1659, the latter being the date of valuation of her cattle by John Freeman and Edward Bangs; however, an agreement of 5 October 1659 by Andrew Ring, Jacob Cooke and Giles Hopkins as to Elizabeth's property was contingent upon "that incase Elizabeth Hopkins Doe Come Noe more," indicating that she had then disappeared and that her relatives thought that she was probably dead.
