He married his first wife, Mary, and in the parish of Hursley, Hampshire; he and wife Mary had their children Elizabeth, Constance, and Giles all baptized there. Stephen Hopkins went with the ship Sea Venture on a voyage to Jamestown, Virginia in 1609 as a minister's clerk, but the ship wrecked in the "Isle of Devils" in the Bermudas. Stranded on an island for ten months, the passengers and crew survived on turtles, birds, and wild pigs. Six months into the castaway, Stephen Hopkins and several others organized a mutiny against the current governor. The mutiny was discovered and Stephen was sentenced to death. However, he pleaded with sorrow and tears. "So penitent he was, and made so much moan, alleging the ruin of his wife and children in this his trespass, as it wrought in the hearts of all the better sorts of the company." He managed to get his sentence commuted. Eventually the castaways built a small ship and sailed themselves to Jamestown. How long Stephen remained in Jamestown is not known. However, while he was gone, his wife Mary died. She was buried in Hursley on May 9, 1613, and left behind a probate estate which mentions her children Elizabeth, Constance and Giles. Stephen was back in England by 1617, when he married Elizabeth Fisher, but apparently had every intention of bringing his family back to Virginia. Their first child, Damaris, was born about 1618. In 1620, Stephen Hopkins brought Elizabeth, his wife, and children Constance, Giles, and Damaris on the Mayflower (child Elizabeth apparently had died). During the voyage, Elizabeth gave birth to a son, named Oceanus. Stephen also brought two servants, Edward Doty and Edward Leister. One description of the trip that the passengers experienced went like this: “Seasickness, a profane seaman dying a terrible death, frightful storms, splitting masts, accidentally falling overboard, women giving birth, disease and the occasional death of a passenger, whales and other sea creatures--the Mayflower’s voyage seems to have been fairly typical.” Stephen was a fairly active member of the Pilgrims shortly after arrival, perhaps a result of his being one of the few individuals who had been to Virginia previously. He was a part of all the early exploring missions, and was used almost as an "expert" on Native Americans for the first few contacts. While out exploring, Stephen recognized and identified an Indian deer trap. And when Samoset walked into Plymouth and welcomed the English, he was housed in Stephen Hopkins' house for the night. Stephen was also sent on several of the ambassadorial missions to meet with the various Indian groups in the region. Stephen was an assistant to the governor through 1636, and volunteered for the Pequot War of 1637 but was never called to serve. Stephen and Edward Winslow were chosen to approach Massasoit and Hopkins repeated this duty as emissary. He nevertheless ran afoul of the law several times, for assault, for not properly regulating other people’s alcohol intake, and for overpricing. However, this in no way indicated he was disloyal to the Colony. Stephen died between June 6th and July 17, 1644, in Plymouth, Massachusetts. This is the date his will was inventoried. William Bradford wrote in 1650 : "Mr. Hopkins and his wife are now both dead, but they lived above twenty years in this place and had one son and four daughters born here. Their son became a seaman and died at Barbadoes, one daughter died here and two are married; one of them hath two children, and one is yet to marry. His daughter 5 Constanta is also married and hath twelve children, all of them living and one of them married." Children of STEPHEN and MARY: 1. Elizabeth Hopkins was born on March 13, 1604, in Hursley, Hampshire, England, and died between 1613 - 1620. *2. CONSTANCE HOPKINS was born on May 11, 1606, in England and died in mid-October of 1677, in Eastham, MA. She married Nicholas Snow on May 22, 1627. 3. Giles Hopkins was born on January 30, 1607/8, in Hursley, Hampshire, England, and died between March 5, 1688/9, and April 16, 1690, in Eastham, MA. He married Catherine Whelden on October 9, 1639. Children of STEPHEN HOPKINS and ELIZABETH FISHER: 1. Damaris Hopkins was born c.1618, England; died after 1627, Plymouth, MA; died young, was alive 1627 but probably the daughter reported by Bradford to have "dyed here." 2. Oceanus Hopkins was born in 1620 on the ship at sea, the date being between Sept. 16 and Nov. 11.; died at Plymouth, MA, while young, probably before 1623 when his father's family was listed as consisting of six persons. 3. Caleb Hopkins was born c1623, Plymouth, MA; died c1651 in Barbados of starvation 4. Deborah Hopkins was born c1624; died before 1674; married Andrew Ring, April 23, 1646, Plymouth, MA. 5. Damaris Hopkins was born after 1627 at Plymouth, MA; death date is unknown; married Jacob Cook after June 10, 1646, who was born in 1618 in England; died in 1675. 6. Ruth Hopkins was born in Plymouth, MA; her death is after November 30, 1644. 7. Elizabeth Hopkins was born in Plymouth, MA; she died after October, 1657, apparently had disappeared and was thought dead by October 5, 1659. Note: The baptism records of Stephen Hopkins' children Giles and Constance, as well as an additional child Elizabeth, were discovered in the parish registers of Hursley, Hampshire, England. Below is a scan of the Hursley parish register for 1606 showing Constance Hopkins' baptism in the original records. It says: "undecimo de May, Constancia filia Steph. Hopkins fuit baptizata", which translates into English as "Eleventh day of May, Constance daughter of Steph. Hopkins was baptized." 6 7 Will of Stephen Hopkins 6 June 1644 The last Will and Testament of Mr. Stephen Hopkins exhibited upon the Oathes of Mr. Willm Bradford and Captaine Miles Standish at the generall Court holden at Plymouth the xxth of August Anno dm 1644 as it followeth in these wordes vizt.

    Girls on the Mayflower http://members.aol.com/calebj/girls.html (out of circulation; see: https://www.prettytough.com/girls-on-the-mayflower/ http://mayflowerhistory.com/girls https://itchyfish.com/oceanus-hopkins-the-child-born-aboard-the-mayflower/ ) While much attention is focused on the men who came on the Mayflower, few people realize and take note that there were eleven girls on board, ranging in ages from less than a year old up to about sixteen or seventeen. William Bradford wrote that one of the Pilgrim's primary concerns was that the "weak bodies" of the women and girls would not be able to handle such a long voyage at sea, and the harsh life involved in establishing a new colony. For this reason, many girls were left behind, to be sent for later after the Colony had been established. Some of the daughters left behind include Fear Brewster (age 14), Mary Warren (10), Anna Warren (8), Sarah Warren (6), Elizabeth Warren (4), Abigail Warren (2), Jane Cooke (8), Hester Cooke (1), Mary Priest (7), Sarah Priest (5), and Elizabeth and Margaret Rogers. As it would turn out however, the girls had the strongest bodies of them all. No girls died on the Mayflower's voyage, but one man and one boy did. And the terrible first winter, twenty-five men (50%) and eight boys (36%) got sick and died, compared to only two girls (16%). So who were these girls? One of them was under the age of one, named Humility Cooper. Her father had died, and her mother was unable to support her; so she was sent with her aunt and uncle on the Mayflower.

    PILGRIM HALL MUSEUM America’s Oldest Continuous Museum – Located in Historic Plymouth Massachusetts www.pilgrimhallmuseum.org CHILDREN ON THE MAYFLOWER How many children were on the Mayflower? This seems like an easy question but it is hard to answer! Let’s say we wanted to count every passenger on the ship who was 18 years of age or younger. To figure out how old a person was in 1620, when the Mayflower voyage took place, you would need to know their date of birth. In some cases, though, there just isn’t enough information! On this list, we’ve included passengers who were probably or possibly age 18 or less. Some children were traveling with their families. Others came over as servants or apprentices. Still others were wards, or children in the care of guardians. There are 35 young people on the list. Some of them may have been very close to adulthood, like the servant Dorothy (last name unknown), who was married in the early years of Plymouth Colony. The list also includes Will Butten. He was a youth who died during the voyage and never arrived to see land. This list includes very young children and even some babies! Oceanus Hopkins was born during the Mayflower’s voyage across the Atlantic. The baby was given his unusual name as a result. Another boy, Peregrine White, was born aboard the ship while it was anchored at Cape Cod harbor - his name means traveler or “pilgrim.” A good source for more information on Mayflower passengers is Caleb Johnson’s http://mayflowerhistory.com/mayflower- passenger-list.

    CHILDREN on the MAYFLOWER by Ruth Godfrey Donovan

    CHILDREN ON THE MAYFLOWER by Ruth Godfrey Donovan The "Mayflower" sailed from Plymouth, England, September 6, 1620, with 102 people aboard. Among the passengers standing at the rail, waving good-bye to relatives and friends, were at least thirty children. They ranged in age from Samuel Eaton, a babe in arms, to Mary Chilton and Constance Hopkins, fifteen years old. They were brought aboard for different reasons. Some of their parents or guardians were seeking religious freedom. Others were searching for a better life than they had in England or Holland. Some of the children were there as servants. Every one of the youngsters survived the strenuous voyage of three months. As the "Mayflower" made its way across the Atlantic, perhaps they frolicked and played on the decks during clear days. They must have clung to their mothers' skirts during the fierce gales the ship encountered on other days. Some of their names sound odd today. There were eight-year-old Humility Cooper, six-year-old Wrestling Brewster, and nine-year-old Love Brewster. Resolved White was five, while Damans Hopkins was only three. Other names sound more familiar. Among the eight-year- olds were John Cooke and Francis Billington. John Billington, Jr. was six years old as was Joseph Mullins. Richard More was seven years old and Samuel Fuller was four. Mary Allerton, who was destined to outlive all others aboard, was also four. She lived to the age of eighty-three. The Billington boys were the mischief-makers. Evidently weary of the everyday pastimes, Francis and John, Jr.
