(1) Stephen Hopkins, born about 1578, probably in Hampshire, England, died between 6 June 1644 and 17 July 1644 at Plymouth, Plymouth Co., Massachusetts; married first before 1604, Mary, buried on 9 May 1613 in Hursley, England; married second on 19 February 1617/1618 at St. Mary Matfellon, Whitechapel, Middlesex, England, Elizabeth Fisher.
        Stephen was part of an expedition to the New World in 1609 when his boat was shipwrecked on Barbados. After several months on the island the crew managed to built a vessel and sail to Jamestown Colony in Virginia. While there, Stephen Hopkins led a mutiny against the governor and was subsequently sentenced to execution. He pleaded with the court, for the sake of his wife and children, and his sentence was reduced. The crews adventures are said to have been the inspiration for Shakespeare's The Tempest. While in Jamestown, his first wife Mary died; she left a will naming children Elizabeth, Constance, and Giles.
        Stephen returned to England in 1617, married for a second time, and brought his wife and children to Massachusetts aboard the Mayflower in 1620.
        At Plymouth Colony, Stephen served as translator and emissary to the Indians, and also as assistant to the Governor through 1636.
