Constance Snow (née Hopkins) was born in 1606 in Hursley,

Hampshire, England. When she was three, her father, Stephen Hopkins, left the

family to travel to the colony of Jamestown on the ship Sea Venture. On the way, the ship was caught in a hurricano and

wrecked on the island of Bermuda. After some nine or ten months, the castaways

were able to make their way to Jamestown, where they found the colony to be in

terrible straights. After surviving some years in Jamestown, Stephen Hopkins

was able to make his way back to England, where he was reunited with Constance,

and her younger brother Giles.

 In 1620, at the age of 14, Constance sailed to the New World

with her family on the ship Mayflower.

Along the way her stepmother, Elizabeth Hopkins, was delivered of a baby boy,

Oceanus. The early years in Plimoth Colony were rough, but after a few years, Constance

met and married her beshert, Nicholas

Snow.
