Background
First Generation
Stephen Hopkins was the son of John Hopkins & Elizabeth Williams, baptized the "last of Aprill" 1581 at All Saints Church, Upper Clatford, Hampshire, England[1] He died at Plymouth sometime between the writing of his will (6 Jun 1644) and his inventory (taken 17 Jul 1644)[2]
Stephen was twice married. His first wife had the given name of Mary and they were married before 13 May 1604 (when their first known child, Elizabeth, was baptized), likely in Hampshire, England.[3] Mary was buried at Hursley, Hampshire 9 May 1613.[4] He was next married at St Mary Matfellon, Whitechapel, London, England 19 Feb 1617/8 to Elizabeth Fisher[5]
While currently unproven, many sources, including the Pilgrim Hopkins Heritage Society believe he was the Stephen Hopkins who was a passenger aboard the "Sea Venture" which left Plymouth England in Jun 1609 (among a fleet of nine ships). The fleet was struck by a hurricane and the Sea Venture ended up becoming ship-wrecked in the Bermuda islands.[6]

Stephen had three children by his first marriage: Constance, Giles and Damaris (the last died young). By his second wife, he had Oceanus (d. young), Caleb (never married), Deborah, Damaris, Ruth and Elizabeth.
Second Generation
Giles Hopkins was baptized Hursley, Hampshire 30 Jan 1607[/8]. He married Katherine Whelden at Plymouth 9 Oct 1639 and had ten children: Mary, Stephen, John (d. young), Abigail, Deborah, Caleb, Ruth, Joshua, William (prob. never married), and Elizabeth (d. young).
Third Generation
Stephen Hopkins married Mary Merrick 23 May 1667 Eastham and had three daughters and seven sons (Stephen, Judah, Samuel [d. young], Samuel, Nathaniel, Joseph, and Benjamin)
Caleb Hopkins married Mary Williams about 1684 and had two daughters and three sons (Caleb, Nathaniel and Thomas)
Joshua Hopkins married Mary Collier (Cole) 26 May 1681 Eastham and had two daughters and two sons (Elisha and Joshua)

DNA Results R1b-FGC12346
Previous Y-DNA testing
Previous Y-STR testing through the Mayflower Society[1] and the Hopkins DNA Project [2] has suggested the Hopkins lineage belongs to the R1b-M269 Y-DNA haplogroup, which is quite common in Western Europe. The R1b clade predictor at Nevgen.org has further refined the prediction to be U106>>Z381>>L48>Z9>Z331>FGC49702>FGC12346.
NGS/WGS testing
Next Generation Sequencing/Whole Genome Sequencing (NGS/WGS) testing of a Y-DNA descendant of Stephen Hopkins will be able to confirm this prediction and identify a more precise haplogroup classification for the Hopkins lineage. As of 28 Feb 2021 one Big Y-700 test has been completed and a second Big Y-700 test is pending for Y-DNA descendants of Stephen Hopkins. The results of the
With enough NGS/WGS testing, we may also be able to define branches of the Hopkins family in America.
