He was married to * (Hopkins) WFT Est. 1594-1614. From "Cape Cod Library of Local History & Genealogy", compiled by Leonard Smith, Volume 1, pages 612-627:

"Stephen Hopkins, born in England, came over in the Mayflower in 1620, bringing with him Giles and Constanta (Constance), children by a first wife whose name is not known, a second wife Elizabeth whose maiden name is not known, two children by her, Damaris and Oceanus (born on the passage), and two servants, Edward Doty and Edward Litster. He died between June 6, 1644 (date of his will), and July 17, 1644 (date of his inventory). His second wife died in Plymouth between 1640 and 1644.

In 1651 Mr. Hopkins and his wife were dead. They had had a son and four daughters born in Plymouth. The son became a seaman and had died in Barbados, one daughter had died in Plymouth, two daughters were married, one of them having two children, and one was unmarried. His son Giles was married and had four children. His daughter Constanta was also married and had 12 children, one of them being married. [Bradford's History of Plymouth Plantation]

All that we know of Stephen Hopkins and his family before they arrived at Cape Cod is contained in these brief statements from Mourt's Relation and Bradford's History. He came from London, had been married twice, had two children by each wife and brought two servants. These meagre facts are the only ones yet discovered which are supported by absolutely trustworthy contemporary evidence. Much speculation regarding his early life has been indulged in by various writers, but all have failed to produce from contemporary sources conclusive evidence of the soundness of their claims.

His bringing two servants shows that he was one of the well-to-do of the pilgrims. The facts hereinafter given from contemporary records will show that he was a man of energy, courage and ability and one of the most prominent and useful men in the colony. He was one of the earliest freemen of Plymouth and was one of the assistants to the governor from 1633 to 1637. He was engaged in trade, selling liquors and various other articles. He was charged at times with abuse of his traffic in liquors and with selling liquors and other articles at excessive rates, according to the views of the period, but he never lost the confidence of the leading men. He was not without kindness of heart, as appears from his petitioning for the release of his servants from cruel punishment. (June 18, 1624, Doty and Litster fought a duel with sword and dagger. Both were wounded, one in the hand and the other in the thigh. They were sentences by the whole company to have their heads and feet tied together and so to lie for 24 hours without meat or drink, 'but within an hour, because of their great pains, at their own & their master's humble request, upon promise of better carriage, they are released by the governor'....)

He apparently boarded the Mayflower in London with his family about the end of June, 1620, for on arrival of the Speedwell at Southampton from Holland about July 2 she found the Mayflower there, having arrived with her passengers from London. They sailed from Southampton August 5, but by reason of the claimed unsafely of the Speedwell, they put into Dartmouth. After some repairs, they put to sea again, but after they had got 'above 100 leagues without the Lands Eng', the master of the Speedwell complained that his ship was very leaky, and after consultation, both ships put into Plymouth. Here it was decided that the Speedwell should not proceed. Some of the passengers returned to London, and the rest sailed on the Mayflower on the 6th of September, reaching what is now Provincetown harbor on the 11th of November. On that day he signed the compact of government on board the Mayflower, his name being 14th on the list of signers.

Nov. 15, 1620, 16 armed men were set ashore, 'under the conduct of Captaine Miles Standish, unto whom was adjoyned for counseil and advise, William Bradford, Stephen Hopkins, and Edward Tilley.' They made a voyage of discovery, saw some Indians who fled from them, obtained some corn that had been buried in the earth, and found a trap for deer, as Stephen Hopkins informed them, in which William Bradford was caught. They returned to the ship on the 17th.

On the 6th of December Stephen Hopkins (described as of London) in the company of 17 other men, Capt. Standish at the head, started on a second voyage of discovery, with the shallop, which lasted five or six days, during which they had an encounter with the Indians. They entered Plymouth bay and landed on the 11th of December.

The Mayflower went to Plymouth on December 16, and shortly thereafter the work of erecting buildings and landing the passengers and goods was started.

February 17, 1620/21, two Indians appeared on the top of a hill and signalled for the setttlers to come to them. Capt. Standish and Stephen Hopkins were sent towards them, but the Indians disappeared.

March 16, 1620/21, Samoset came into Plymouth and that night was lodged and watched in Stephen Hopkin's house.

July 2, 1621, Stephen Hopkins and Edward Winslow were sent by Gov. Carver on a mission to Massasoit, with whom the governor had made a treaty. They visited the chief at his residence within the ancient territory of Swansea, Mass., and in the present town of Warren, R.I., and had a satisfactory interview. They had the assistance of Tsiquantum (Squanto). On their return, after considerable hardships, they arrived at Plymouth on the 7th of July.

In 1623 Stephen Hopkins received 6 acres in the division of lands, his allotment lying on 'the South side of the brook to the woodward opposite to the' lots 'on the South side of the brooke to the baywards'. Between him and John Howland were the lands of 'Hobamak', an Indian....

Jan 1, 1632/3, he was chosen one of the council for the ensuing year, Edward Winslow being chosen governor. Jan. 10 of the same year he was a member of a court that tried a servant who had run away. The servant was privately whipped before the court....

Jan 1, 1633/4, he was chosen assistant to the governor....

June 7, 1636, John Tisdale, yeoman, brought an action of battern against Mr. Hopkins, assistant to the government, by whom he alleged he was dangerously wounded. Hopkins was fined 5 pounds sterling to the use of the King, 'whose peace he had broken, wch he ought after a special manner to have kept,' and was adjudged to pay 40s. to the plaintiff....
