Stephen HOPKINS Mayflower(1374). He most likely was the Stephen
Hopkins who sailed on the Seaventure to Virginia in 1609, but was shipwrecked in Bermuda,
where he was almost hanged for mutiny. He spent two years in Jamestown, where he learned
much of later use to the Plymouth colonists (Adventurers of Purse and Person
Virginia 1607-1625, ed. by Annie Lash Jester with Martha Woodroof Hiden, 2nd ed.
(1964), p. 213-17). See also the excellent account of his family in Dawes-Gates 2:443-51,
which includes the reasoning for believing that the Stephen Hopkins of Virginia was
identical with the one of Plymouth.
Hopkins arrived at Plymouth on the 1620 Mayflower accompanied by his wife, Elizabeth, and
his sons Giles and Oceanus, and daughters Constance and Damaris, Oceanus having been born
at sea on the Mayflower, plus two servants, Edward Doty and Edward Leister. Damaris died
during the early years, and Hopkins and his wife later had a second daughter Damaris. He
was probably also one of the dissenters at Plymouth whose actions led to the necessity for
drafting the Mayflower Compact. Bradford (Ford) 1:219, and Mourt's Relation, p. 40, tell
how in 1621 the colonists sent Mr. Edward <Picture>Winslow<Picture> and Mr.
Stephen Hopkins on a mission to visit Massasoit. Mourt's Relation, pp. 7-8, also shows how
Hopkins warned colonists on an early expedition about an Indian trap to catch deer, and
how Bradford, not hearing the warning, stepped on the trap and was immediately caught by
his leg. When Samoset first came to the settlement on 16 February 1620/21, the Englishmen
were suspicious of him, and they "lodged him that night at Steven Hopkins house, and
watched him" (Mourt's Relation, p. 33). Hopkins was an Assistant at least as early as
1633, and he continued in 1634, 1635, and 1636. He was on the original freeman list, and
he was a volunteer in the Pequot War (PCR 1:61).
Keeping in mind the delicate balance in Plymouth between "covenant" and
"noncovenant" colonists, it is reasonable to assume that Hopkins must have been
a leader of the non-Separatist settlers, and in his career at Plymouth can be seen some of
the ambiguity that attached to the non-Separatists living in a Separatist colony. On 7
June 1636, at a time when Hopkins was an Assistant, the General Court found him guilty of
battery against John Tisdale, and he was fined £5, and ordered to pay Tisdale forty
shillings, the court observing that he had broken the King's peace, "wch [p.309] he
ought after a speciall manner to have kept" (PCR 1:42). On 2 October 1637 he was
presented twice, first for suffering men to drink in his house on the Lord's day before
meeting ended, and for allowing servants and others to drink more than proper for ordinary
refreshing, and second for suffering servants and others to sit drinking in his house
contrary to orders of the court, and to play at shovel board and like misdemeanors (PCR
1:68). On 2 January 1637/38 Hopkins was presented for suffering excessive drinking in his
house "as old Palmer, James Coale, & William Renolds" (PCR 1:75). On 5 June
1638 he was presented for selling beer for two pence a quart which was not worth a penny a
quart, and for selling wine at excessive rates "to the oppressing & impovishing
of the colony"; he was fined £5 for some of these offenses, including selling strong
waters and nutmegs at excessive rates (PCR 1:87, 97). In the Dorothy Temple case (see
text) he was "committed to ward for his contempt to the Court, and shall so remayne
comitted untill hee shall either receive his servant Dorothy Temple, or els pvide for her
elsewhere at his owne charge during the terme shee hath yet to serve him" (PCR
1:112). On 3 December 1639 he was presented for selling a looking glass for sixteen pence
which could be bought in the Bay Colony for nine pence, and he was also fined £3 for
selling strong water without license" (PCR 1:137). Jonathan Hatch, who from the
records seems to have been a recurring disciplinary problem in the colony, on 5 April 1642
was ordered by the court to dwell with Mr. Stephen Hopkins, "& the said Mr
Hopkins to have a speciall care of him" (PCR 2:38).
xxx He dated his will 6 June 1644, inventory 17 July 1644, and mentioned his deceased
wife; sons Giles and Caleb; daughter Constance, wife of Nicholas Snow; daughters Deborah,
Damaris, Ruth and Elizabeth; and grandson Stephen, son of his son Giles (MD 2:12). Ralph
D. Phillips, "Hopkins Family of Wortley, GloucestershirePossible Ancestry of
Stephen Hopkins," TAG 39:95, suggests that he might have come from the parish of
Wotten-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, but the evidence is not sufficient to say positively.
Some writers, such as Banks in English Ancestry, pp. 61-64, and Jacobus in Waterman
Family, 1:86, have felt that his wife, Elizabeth, may have been Elizabeth Fisher, whom a
Stephen Hopkins married at London 19 February 1617/18Mourt's Relation, p. 15, states
that he was of London. If so, she would have been a second wife, for the births of some of
his children would predate this marriage. Dawes-Gates 2:443, citing the London marriage
record, states that his wife was "undoubtedly" Elizabeth Fisher. Timothy
Hopkins, "Stephen Hopkins of the Mayflower and Some of His Descendants," NEHGR
102:46, 98, 197, 257, 103:24, 85, 166, 304, 104:52, 123, 213, 296, 105:32, 100, covers
some of his early generations, but it is not documented. George E. Bowman wrote an article
in MD 5:47 to consolidate much of the early information known about his family. A
popularized biography of Stephen Hopkins was written by Margaret Hodges, Hopkins of the
MayflowerPortrait of a Dissenter (New York, 1972). Claims that a John Hopkins of
Hartford, Connecticut, was his son are baseless. By his first wife he had Constance, who
married Nicholas Snow, and [p.310] Giles, who married Catherine Wheldon. By Elizabeth
Fisher he had the Damaris, who died young; Oceanus, who died young; Caleb, who died at
Barbados as an adult without issue; Deborah, who married Andrew Ring; the second Damaris,
who married Jacob Cooke, son of Francis; Ruth, who died without issue; and Elizabeth, who
died without issue (Dawes-Gates, 2:449).
Children were: Damaris HOPKINS Mayflower.

He was in Sudbury by 1639--and one of the original grantors-- when he received grant of a
house lot, then shared in the three divisions of Sudbury Meadows, 1639-40. Was a
petitioner for a grant of Marlboro, 1656, (NEHGR 62:220, Colonial Records of Marlboro)
where he removed 1657. His house was about 1/3 mile NE of Spring-hill Meeting House.
Opened a tavern in 1661. By appointment of the Mass gov/t, he and Edmund Rice laid out the
Framingham lands to Gov Danfort in 1662.
Nellie Palmer George: "Marlboro suffered greatly through all the years of Indian
warfare." John How's eldest son was killed by them in 1671. His grand-daughter,
Elizabeth was at her sister's home assisting her in caring for her infant neice when they
were surprised by the indians in the home. The Indians seized them both, and later killed
the baby. Elizabeth was held captive for many years in Canada, being ultimately redeemed.
She was 17 when taken captive. She returned home to marry her long awaiting lover, Thomas
Keyes. Her sister, Mrs. Joslyn, and a child two years old were murdered a few miles from
her home. Elizabeth never recovered from the horror and brutality of her sister's death
which she was obliged to witness. Her own life was spared because of the superstitious
regard the Indians had for her beautiful voice, and during her captivity, she was
frequently compelled to 'make sweet sound.' She retained for some time the customs of the
Indians--their posture in sitting and their love for the out of doors."
