• Notes

  Both Mayflower Descendants Through Five Generations, volume 6, by John D. Austin (1995), and William Brewster--Mayflower Families in Progress by Barbara Lambert Merrick (2001), state that no proof has been found that Samuel Mayo's first wife was Ruth Hopkins, daughter of Giles Hopkins and Catherine Whelden. However, Samuel Mayo was definitely the father of Hannah Mayo who was the first wife of Judah Hopkins. (Not to be confused with Hannah Mayo, the second wife of Judah Hopkins.) George Ernest Bowman's abstract of the will of Samuel Mayo of Eastham was published in The Mayflower Descendant, volume 36, number 2, July 1986, page 161. Dated 9 Apr 1734 and probated 15 Nov 1738, among its legatees are "Heirs of Dau. Hannah Hopkins deceased", to which is added the note "wife of Judah".
