In the July 1998 issue of The American Genealogist, "The True Origin of Stephen Hopkins of the Mayflower: With Evidence of His Earlier Presence in Virginia". My article proves that Stephen Hopkins was not born at Wortley, Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucester, England, as has been the prevailing theory for the past 70 years, and shows where in England he actually was from. It identifies the baptism records of Constance and Giles Hopkins, as well as an additional baptism of a child heretofore unknown. It disproves the Constance Dudley myth, and correctly identifies the name of Stephen Hopkins' first wife. It also corrects a number of inaccuracies which have been published on the Hopkins family over the past century, and adds a few little-known facts about the family. And finally, the first historical documentation for the tradition that Stephen Hopkins of the Mayflower was the same man as Stephen Hopkins of the Sea Venture which went to Jamestown, Virginia in 1609 is presented.
