Biography
Elizabeth Williams was born about 1552. Her death date is unrecorded. She married John Hopkins about 28 July 1579. Their son Stephen Hopkins was a passenger on the Mayflower and a settler of Plymouth Colony.
4 October 1593 is the date she was appointed administrator of her late husband, John's estate.
In Winchester, the widow Elizabeth was appointed administrator of his estate (he having died end of August since his inventory was 4 September 1593) on 4 October 1593, with William Hopkins (probably not Stephen's older half-brother since he was born around 1575 and wouldn't be of age) signing the bond.[1]
We don't know her birth or death dates or locations or parents. The Morgan Williams and the Elizabeth Breyton in the real world weren't even in the same generation, much less married to each other or parents of the Elizabeth Williams who married John Hopkins. Morgan Williams did have a daughter named Elizabeth who married Robert Whitney. Elizabeth Breyton was the GRANDMOTHER of Morgan's daughter's husband. Research the mother of Sybil Baskerville.[2]
The 1552 birth date is a hold-over from an erroneous mother (Mary Poole/Poore/Poley) for Stephen copied on so many trees. Elizabeth got married 1579 and it doesn't look like she was married before and there's no way of telling her age (or John's). If she was born in '52 she'd have been 27. That was old for a first marriage back then.
There is no "Duglam, England" that you'll see quite often in copied trees on Ancestry.
Note
Elizabeth is the 9th-great grandmother of Otho Mendehlsohn Otte --Malcolm H Patterson.

We don't know her birth or death dates or locations or parents.
Her parents aren't Morgan Williams and Elizabeth Breyton. They weren't married to each other. She was a generation older than he was. Morgan Williams really did have a daughter named Elizabeth but she married Robert Whitney. Elizabeth Breyton is Robert Whitney's Grandmother.
The 1552 birth date is a hold-over from an erroneous mother (Mary Poole/Poore/Poley) for Stephen copied on so many trees. Elizabeth got married 1579 and it doesn't look like she was married before and there's no way of telling her age (or John's). If she was born in '52 she'd have been 27. That was old for a first marriage back then.
