      First of all, I believe that it has been proven that the wife of William Kelsey was not Bethiah Hopkins. In Volume II of The Great Migration Begins by Robert Charles Anderson, it is suggested that her name was possibly Hester ? On page 1118 it has:
      MARRIAGE: By 1634 ____ _____, who was "born about 1613 and liveing in Hartford in December 1666" [TAG 68:213-14]. (Several false leads regarding the identity of the wife of William Kelsey have been carefully examined and discarded by George E. McCracken and Gale Ion Harris [TAG 37:38-42, 68:211-14]. Based on onomastic evidence Harris suggests that her given name was Hester.)

      The first wife of Stephen Hopkins was not Constance Dudley. The given name of his first wife was Mary. His second wife was Elizabeth Fisher. Source: Mayflower Families Through Five Generations, Volume Six, Third Edition, Stephen Hopkins.
