HOPKINS: [Stephen] Hopkins of the Mayflower: portrait of a dissenter
By Margaret Hodges
This is the life of Stephen Hopkins (1581-1644) of England and America. He was a dissenter, both by temperament and religious conviction. Seeking his fortune in London and the New World, survived a shipwreck, mutiny, starvation, and attack by indians. He was among the first to venture to Bermuda, to Jamestown, and to a new Plymouth in a new England. He did well for himself when he sailed in the Mayflower. He was known by Myles Standish and William Bradford who were witnesses of his last will and inventory. His father Stephen Sr was a master of the wool trade, made woven blankets and hangings.
