  • Notes: 

  • Many sources incorrectly state that Thomas's wife is Elizabeth, the daughter of William Arnold. According to Robert Charles Anderson's The Great Migration: Immigrants to New England 1634-1635, vol. 1, pp. 88-90, Elizabeth Arnold married William Carpenter and not Thomas Hopkins. So Thomas Hopkins's wife remains unknown.
