I visited Plimoth Plantation and spoke with various role-players, one of whom was portraying Stephen Hopkins, an ancestor of mine.

I went there on a field trip in the 80's. John Howland is an ancestor of mine, too.

Before sailing on the Mayflower, Stephen Hopkins had been shipwrecked on Bermuda, lived as a castaway, led a rebellion, talked his way out of a death sentence, helped rescue the starving Jamestown survivors, and got himself imortalized by Shakespeare in The Tempes. Knowing the dangers firsthand, he still chose to bring his wife and children to the new world. In Plimoth, he housed Squanto, annother amazing voyager. What an interesting, daring person!

Yep, the more I hear of Stephen Hopkins's story, the more fascinated I become. Have you read "Here Shall I Die Ashore" by Caleb Johnson?

Hello cousin! I am also a descendent of John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley. It was great to be at Plimoth. The women characters there speak very highly of Elizabeth, although I didn't see her. They said that she, as a girl, helped nurse the ill ones and that her housewifery was excellent.
