Did this daughter of Stephen Hopkins (Mayflower Passenger) marry a William Kelsey?

---

Someone born in 1703 is very unlikely to have had a father who was on the Mayflower.

Bethia Hopkins married William Kelsey in 1635, but the record doesn't mention her parents.

Thank you, Deb - I have loaded the image file of this onto William Hopkins (Hopkins-7) onto his profile.  It is from "New England Marriages Prior to 1700" by Torry.
