Standish I give unto his Children . . . That a pair of gloves of 5sh be bestowed on mr. Joh. Wynthrop, Govr. of the Massachusets . . Whereas Capt. John Endecott oweth me two pownds of Beaver I give it to his sonne . .. Whatsoever mr. Roger Williams is indebted to me upon my booke for phisick I freely give him."
Notes in John Winthrop's Journal declare that Dr. Fuller was sometimes called to Boston and Salem, being highly esteemed in the Bay Colony as well as in Plymouth. References to Winthrop, Endecott and Roger Williams in the will further bear this out. Bradford, too, mentions his work among the Indians and the other colonies, Salem, Charlestown, Dorchester, etc.
In 1633, Plymouth suffered an epidemic, believed to have been smallpox. Bradford tells us : "It pleased the Lord to visite them this year with an infectious fevoure, of which many fell very sicke, and upward of 20 persons dyed, men and women, besides children, and sundry of them of their anciente friends which had lived in Holand; as Thomas Blossome, Richard Masterson, with sundry others, and in the end (after he had much helped others) Samuell Fuller, who was their surgeon and phisition, and had been a great help and comforte unto them; as in his facultie, so other- wise, being a deacon of the church, a man godly, and forward to doe good, being much missed after his death; and he and the rest of their brethren much lamented by them, and caused much sadnes and mourning amongst them ; which caused them to humble them selves, and seeke

the Lord; and towards winter it pleased the Lord the sicknes ceased." (Bradford, History of Plymouth Planta- tion, 1912 ed., 2:171, 172)
Samuel Fuller died 17 August 1695, in his seventy-first year. He was the first minister of the church in Middle- borough, one of the twenty-six original proprietors of that town. The Indians burned his home there in 1676 and he returned to Plymouth until the war with them was over, then went back to Middleborough. His biographers de- scribe him as a sober, grave, industrious, enlightened and self-denying man.

STEPHEN HOPKINS
Little is known of Stephen Hopkins' early history other than what we learn from a few brief references to him in Bradford's History and Mourt's Relation. He was a Londoner, twice married, who brought with him on the Mayflower his two children by his first marriage, Gyles and Constance, his second wife, Elizabeth -, their child, Damaris, and two servants. Another son, Oceanus, was born during the voyage. Bradford tells us that in Plymouth five more children were born, one son and four daughters.
From the Plymouth Colony records we learn that Stephen Hopkins took an active part in the affairs of the Colony from the very start. He was a member of the early exploring parties and in 1621 was chosen to accompany Edward Winslow on a visit to Massasoit. He served as an Assistant for many years and engaged in trade as well as in farming. He was one of the fifty-eight "purchasers" in 1640, and in 1643 when relations with the Indians became strained and war appeared imminent, he was one of six named by the town of Plymouth to serve on a joint com- mittee or council of war. The records show that he rendered much public service, on various committees, as tax assessor and as a juryman. He was also involved in many legal actions, both as plaintiff and defendant, and frequently helped in the settlement of estates.
It is noteworthy that of the forty-one signers of the Compact, twelve were given the title of "Mr." in later life, one of the twelve being Stephen Hopkins.
Hopkins died at Plymouth between 6 June 1644, the date of his will, and 17 July 1644, the date his inventory was taken. His will, witnessed by Capt. Myles Standish and Gov. William Bradford, was proved on 20 August 1644, and makes detailed provision for his surviving children. From it we learn that his wife had died previously, as he re- quested that he be buried near her. His estate was a large one for the times, the inventory of his goods and chattels amounting to over £128 and including cattle, a mare, pigs,

poultry, household goods, books, wearing apparel, some money and debts due him. The will and inventory are printed in full in The Mayflower Descendant, Volume 2, pp. 12-17.

JOHN HOWLAND
An original letter from a genealogist in England1, in 1879, mentions "the extraordinary fact that I find the surname of Howland in no other county in England than Essex, and originally in no other locality in that county except at Newport and Wicken and their immediate vicinity. Wherever at later periods I have found Howlands in other counties, as Hertfordshire, Surrey, Berks, etc., I have invariably traced them back to Newport and Wicken. It is clear that several families of the name were living there contemporaneously and equally so that they were all in some way connected at the period of the birth of John Howland of the Mayflower, there were living then no less than five John Howlands . In two of these lines, the Howland name terminated in heiresses, one of whom, Elizabeth by name, bequeathed the Streatham Estates to her husband, the Duke of Bedford, who then acquired the additional title of Baron Howland.
John Howland of the Mayflower was born in 1592, the son of Henry Howland, of Fen Stanton, Huntingdonshire (near Newport, County Essex) ?. He had at least four brothers, Arthur, George, Henry, and Humphrey. His brothers Arthur and Henry came to America® about 1623/4 and later joined the Society of Friends. Early records reveal that Arthur, whose home was in Marshfield, was fined many times for "pmitting of a Quaker's meeting in his house.". When he refused to pay the fines, he was sent to jail. Henry was fined for entertaining Quakers, at the Court of March, 1658.
In mid-Atlantic, during a violent storm, John Howland was almost drowned when a mountainous wave swept him overboard. Grasping a halyard which was trailing astern of the Mayflower, although at first he was several fathoms under water, he finally managed to haul himself to the

surface. He was then rescued, by means of a boathook along with the rope, etc.‘
By November 11, 1620, he had sufficiently recuperated from his oceanic adventure to be the thirteenth signer of the Mayflower Compact. And a few days later, December 6, he was one of the ten chosen to make the third exploration along the shore. On this occasion, they were attacked by the Indians at Eastham, Cape Cod. In Bradford's History, we learn that the mast of the shallop broke during a sudden squall, and the sail was lost overboard. "The weather was very cold, and it froze so hard . the spray of the sea lighting on their coats, they were as if they had been glazed."5
John Howland was one of Governor Carver's family. Both Governor Carver and his wife were among the fifty Pilgrims who died during the first few months of the struggle for survival at Plymouth. It is believed that John Howland inherited John Carver's estate, as the Carvers had no children of their own.
About 1626 John Howland married Elizabeth Tilley, a girl of eighteen. She had come on the Mayflower with her parents, who, like the Carvers, were victims of "the sickness" during the first winter. She d. 21 Dec. 1687, at Swansea.
In 1626, John Howland was one of those (including Bradford, Brewster, Standish, etc.) who assumed the Colony's debt to the Merchant Adventurers, £1800. At least as early as 1633-35, he was an Assistant or member of the Governor's Council, and from 1641 to 1670 was frequently a deputy or representative to the General Court. In 1634, he commanded the Pilgrims' Trading Post at Kennebec (Maine).
