Constance Hopkins • My name is Constance Hopkins and I have just landed in the New England colony of Massachusetts with my mother and father. I am 16 years old and have not yet begun working but I help out around the house. In the future I hope to help around the family store. Being of the Separatist beliefs, my family and I traveled here to practice our religion freely. • Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins http://www.sonofthesouth.net/revolutionary-war/pilgrims/pilgrim-couple.jpg
