Bio: PLEASE NOTE . . . . . . . . THE IMAGE IS NOT
Stephen Hopkins of the MAYFLOWER.
The person who submitted it does not respond to email.
There are no known images of Mayflower Hopkins. This is supposed to be the S.Hopkins (1707-1785) who signed the Dec. of Indp. They didn't have hats like that in the early 1600s.
* See big note at the bottom of the page for possible problems with the man in the image.

(pub. 2007). A little out-of-date but updates on 2012 research on 1st wife Mary are at

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Hopkins_(Mayflower_passenger)

(more comprehensive and accurate than most trees on the internet).
See there for his personal information and his adventures in
Bermuda,
Jamestown and
Plymouth.

For his acknowledged first 5 generations from The Pilgrim Hopkins Heritage Society based on the Silver Books:

https://pilgrimhopkins.com/lineageHome.php

THE MAYFLOWER "SILVER BOOKS" are considered the gold standard for information that can be used to apply for the Mayflower Society. If a child or grandchild isn't listed (in updated editions) then The Mayflower Society, NEHGS, and Hopkins and Massachusetts researchers/scholars didn't used to recognize them. ((Check the latest Volume 6 for new revisions like Constance Snow who married Doane.))

He has no known grandparents.

--------------------

Stephen Hopkins died between
6 June 1644 (when his will was made) and
17 July 1644 (when the inventory of his estate was reported).
His will was proved 20 August 1644.

We do not know if he died in June or July. If you think the process in those days took over 17 days (after an appropriate amount of time for the family and community to grieve) before an estate inventory was taken then he probably died in June. If you think there was possibly a week's waiting period then he probably died in July. No one knows because they no one wrote down the date.

http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.hopkins/5435/mb.ashx

explains how he got tagged with goofy birth date of 29 Oct 1581,
the Gloucester &
mythical CONSTANCE DUDLEY MESSES,
and how mythical NICHOLAS HOPKINS & MARY POOLE got invented as parents.

His Millennium File on Ancestry.com has 4 errors. Scroll up to 1st comment in the list for the details:

Be very weary using information from "submittal style" genealogy websites. Most of them have errors copied over the last twenty plus years from a very famous website that accepted anything anyone submitted, put them on CDs, sold them and did it again. Around 2008 the old "contributed" files were discontinued because of worldwide errors, but by then that stuff was all over the internet and is being recycled unknowingly by people who believe in that website.
---------------------------------------------------------------

None of the websites check
birth/marriage/death records,
images,
stories, or
databases,
indexes
hints,
other trees or
comments
for accuracy.

Don't copy this family trees from
American Ancestors,
WikiTree.com,
Geni.com,
MyHeritage,
or
FamilySearch, especially contributed Genealogy files that source IGI, AF, PRF.

* The drawing at the top with the signature was supposed to be a likeness of Stephen Hopkins (1707-1785) Delegate from Rhode island who signed the Declaration of Independence. However, decades (and a new millennium) later it is now believed by some researchers that he was mis-labled when people were trying to identify participants in Trumbull's painting that he started in 1817 (he wasn't there and couldn't take names).
People have been copying this image off GOOGLE IMAGES maybe because they think Google actually checks those things.
As of 23 Mar 2021 GOOGLE IMAGES has 11 different men and a cartoon character listed as Stephen Hopkins there. There are no known images of Hopkins of the Mayflower.
Only one man was wearing a hat inside the Hall in the painting and since Stephen Hopkins of Rhode Island was no longer a practicing Quaker it's now considered by some to be John Dickinson from Pennsylvania. He was a Pacifist and did not sign the Declaration.

For Stephen Hopkins (1707-1785) from Rhode Island see
http://www.gaspee.org/StephenHopkins.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Hopkins_(politician)
There is a portrait of him seated wearing a GOLD VEST with a BIG building on a hill in a background. He didn't sit for it. His nephew was supposed to look just like him so the inspiration came from his nephew. He was first chancellor of that building -- now Brown University founded 1764.

NO KNOWN RELATIONSHIP TO STEPHEN HOPKINS OF THE MAYFLOWER. There is no proof that anyone in Somerset, Warwickshire, Norfolk, Middlesex, or Worcester connects to the Mayflower family in Hampshire. There are multiple men with the same name who are getting confused.
