I have recently traced my family tree back to Stephen Hopkins(1) of the Mayflower. Through his daughter, Constance Hopkins Snow(2) I am the 16th generation. Through his son, Giles Hopkins, I am the 15th generation.

It is Constance and Nicholas who are on my radar screen at the present time. They had a son, Joseph Snow(3) who married "Mary" who had a son Benjamin Snow(4), who had a son also named Benjamin(5).

Either or both Benjamin Snows moved from Massachusetts to Shelburne County, Nova Scotia and resettled. From Benjamin(5) my memory gets foggy - my notes are at home - but it clears up with Winthrop Snow(12), who had a daughter Nancy Louise Snow Murphy(13) who had a son Milton Murphy(14) who had a son "Roy" Murphy(15) who had me, Ruby Murphy Wood(16). With the generous assistance of my mother, of course.

Are there any descendents of Stephen Hopkins in general, and the Benjamin Snows in particular, who would like to trade information and/or conversation?

Also, can some kind soul tell me - how do you go about "attaching" youself to a Mayflower Passenger? What do you need to do for the Mayflower Society to prove a lineage? From Stephen Hopkins down to Benjamin Show is outlined in a book by the Mayflower Society - is that considered "established" so you don't have to re-prove it?

Any any all replies gratefully accepted!

Hi, I have numerous information on the Snow family of Shelburne County as I'm a descendant of the Snow's also. I am descended through the Nathaniel Smith family of Port La Tour.
A number of years ago I received a letter from a gentleman that was a Murphy regarding the Snow family. I believe he was the grandson of Nancy(Snow)Murphy.
Please e-mail me if there is any information that you would need. Thank you

Surnames: Hopkins, Snow, Atwood, Nickersdon, Cahoon, Spears,
I too am a direct decendant of Stephen Hopkins through his daughter Constance. It is through Constance and Nicholas Snow's son Mark that we part in the lineage. Mine is like this: Mark Snow m Anna Cooke their daughter Anna Snow m Eldad Atwood their daughter m Anna Atwood m William Nickerson their son Eldad Nickerson m Mary Cahoon. All of the above is documented by the Mayflower Assoc. I have to come up with document proof from Eldad Nickerson and Mary Cahoon's daughter Naomi Nickerson m Robert Spears on down to myself. The Spears moved from Shelburne to Whitehead. Have you gone to the Mayflower Association on the internet? They give you a lot of information. Yes to your question on what is already documented you don't have to prove. My job is cut out for me trying to prove and get documents for my Canadian family.
