Did You Know?

One of our CCA teachers is a descendant
of a Mayflower passenger/pilgrim...

Elementary Music Teacher, Kimberly Adkins,
is in the line from Stephen Hopkins, a pilgrim
who was born in 1582 and died in 1644. He
was a tanner and merchant who was one of
the passengers on the Mayflower in 1620,
settling in the Plymouth Colony. Hopkins
provided governance for the colony as well as
assisted with the colony’s ventures through
1636. He was also one of forty-one signatories
of the Mayflower Compact, and was
deputized to meet the Indians and act as an
interpreter. This means that Mrs. Adkins’ kids,
Clayton and Elise, who go to CCA, are also
descendants of Stephen Hopkins. Cool stuff!
