Notes:
Name:
Giles Hopkins was the eldest son of Mr. Stephen Hopkins of Plymouth. He was born in England, and came over with his father's family in the Mayflower in 1620, and with the other members of his father's family survived the first winer's sickness, which swept off so many of that company. Of his boyhood days, but little appears. he appears to have been of a retiring disposition, only forward when duty impelled. When, in 1637, the Pequots, a tribe of brave Indians inhabiting the eastern part of Connecticut, commenced war with the English in that region, and overthrow of the Indians, he, with his father and younger brother Caleb, volunteered to go out in the company in the defense of his Connecticut neighbors, but happily for the company, before ready to go forth, the troops under Captain Mason had "vanquished" the enemy, and the company was not needed. The next year, Mr. Stephen Hopkins having been allowed by the Old Colony court "to erect a house at Mattacheese" now Yarmouth, "to cut hay there" and "to winter his cattle," it is supposed his son Giles was at yarmouth in 1639, and with Hugh Tilley and Nicholas Sympkins, "deposed" to the last will and testament of Peter Warden, the elder, deceased, and also courted and married Catherine Whelden daughter of Gabriel Whelden, who was licensed to build at Mattacheese the year preceding.....
It would seem that Mr. Hopkins was not a resident of yarmouth in 1643, as his name does not appear in the list of those able to bear arms that year in the township, but evidence is quite conclusive that he was a resident June 6, 1644. At that date his father made his will, and several times speaks of Giles being at yarmouth in charge of the cattle. It is probable he was not enrolled on account of being physically unable to do military duty. In what year he removed to Nausett or Eastham, is not known. He was there in 1650, occupying the position of surveyor of highways, which he subsequently occupied several years.....
Giles married Katherine WHELDON on 09 Oct 1639 in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Katherine was born about 1615; died after 05 Mar 1688 in Eastham, Barnstable, Massachusetts, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
