'Hopestill the daughtr of John Miricke & Judith his wife was born 20 (12.) 1642.'
The two (possibly not independent) transcriptions I have seen of this record both list the mother as Judith, yet other compilers do not comment on that fact, and list her as the child of Hopestill. Given the relatively small gap between her birth and that of her younger brother, whose mother is given as Hopestill in the Vital Records, I am assuming that 'Judith' is either an error in the original record, or a transcription error.
'She died at New London, Connecticut, 1 June 1712 [citing Diary
of Joshua Hempstead, 1711-1758, 1:11].'
'Hopestill Morgan, who may
have been living with her son John, died suddenly 1 June 1712. Hempstead
wrote: "2 June 1712 ... then went to Jno Morgans to & made a Coffin for his
mother. I went to the funerall." [citing Diary of Joshua
Hempstead, 1711-1758, 1:11].'
