Immigration1609; Jamestowne, Virginia; by way of Bermuda, where he was shipwrecked1 
Note*1609; (Courtesy of Toni Turk): Stephen Hopkins, Mayflower
"Arrived in North America in 1609, but was shipwrecked off the coast of Bermuda Island during a hurricane along with 150 other men. Hopkins was pardoned from a death sentence during a coup to overthrow the Governor while on the island. Two boats were erected and after nine months in Bermuda the men sailed safely to Jamestown, which lay in ruins with few survivors. After catching a vessel back to England in the fall of 1610 he discovered that his wife had died of the plague. His friend William Shakespeare, after hearing Hopkins' story, wrote the play "The Tempest" depicting Stephen Hopkins as the character Stephano. The play was performed before King James I and his royal court at Whiteball on Hallomas Night or All Saints Day November 1, 1610. It was revitalized to decorate wedding festivities of Princess Elizabeth in 1613 and was incidentally the last play performed in London in 1642 when the Puritan Party closed play houses until restoration from the Stuarts in 1660. Hopkins was invited to return to America aboard the Mayflower with his children. Upon arrival in America Stephen Hopkins became Indian Ambassador of the Plymouth Colony. While serving this post, Hopkins befriended and invited the famous Indian, Squanto, to live in his home. It was in the Hopkins' home that the first ever Indian treaties where signed. As Indian Ambassador Stephen Hopkins participated in the arrangement and planning of the first Thanksgiving. He opened the first bar, built the first port for ships, and erected the first trading post in American history. Hopkins later became assistant governor for the state of Massachusetts."4,5

This letter was written to Mr. Edmond Freeman, brother in law to Mr. Beachamp.1

Mr. Freeman,

My love remembred unto you, etc. I then certified the partners how I found Mr. Beachamp and Mr. Sherley, in their perticuler demands, which was according to mens principles, of getting what they could; allthough the one will not shew any accounte, and the other a very unfaire and unjust one; and both of them discouraged me from sending the partners my accounte, Mr. Beachamp espetially. Their reason, I have cause to conceive, was, that allthough I doe not, nor ever intended to, wrong the partners or the bussines, yet, if I gave no accounte, I might be esteemed as guiltie as they, in some degree at least; and they might seeme to be the more free from taxation in not delivering their accounts, who have both of them charged the accounte with much intrest they have payed forth, and one of them would lik- wise for much intrest he hath not paid forth, as appeareth by his accounte, etc. And seeing the partners have now made it appear that ther is 1200/1. remaining due between us all, and that it may appear by my accounte I have not charged the bussines with any intrest, but doe forgive it unto the partners, above 2OO/z'. if Mr. Sherley and Mr. Beachamp, who have betweene them wronged the business so many ico/z. both in principall and intrest likwise, and have therin wronged me as well and as much as any of the partners; yet if they will not make and deliver faire and true accounts of the same, nor be contente to take what by computation is more then can be justly due to either, that is, to Mr. Beachamp 150/1. as by Mr. Allertons accounte, and Mr.

1 Edmund Freeman came in the Abigail, 1635, and settled at Lynn (Saugus). Two years later he became a freeman of New Plymouth, and with ten associates obtained "liberty to view a place to sitt downe and haue sufficient lands for three score famy lies, vpon the condicons propounded to them by the Gouernor and Mr. Winslowe." Plymouth Col. Rec., i. 53, 57. This settlement, on territory known by the Indians as Shawme, was incorporated as the town of Sandwich, in 1639. In the same year, one of Freeman's daughters, Alice, married William Paddy. See p. 303,
