Oceanus Hopkins

Oceanus Hopkins (1620 – c.1623) was the only child born on the Mayflower during its historic voyage which brought the English Pilgrims to America. A boy, Peregrine White, was born on board, after arriving in America, as the ship lay at anchor. Oceanus was born to Stephen Hopkins and his wife, Elizabeth Hopkins (née Fisher), sometime between the boarding and arrival dates of September 6 and November 9, 1620. He did not survive long, and was dead before the 1627 Division of Land. Oceanus was so named because he was born aboard a ship in the Atlantic Ocean and the Latin word for the ocean is Oceanus. His body and grave are lost.
