Stephen Hopkins is my husband's 11th great grandfather. Before we knew this information, we visited Jamestown on our honeymoon and had our pictures taken with small models of the very ships that Stephen sailed on.
For my husband, a former history teacher with a special interest in American history, this was an absolute treasure - walking in reverence on the same ground that his forefather also tread upon, without even knowing how fully meaningful this was.
Stephen Hopkins was my 13th direct great-grandfather. This is amazing. Thank you! ♥
My ex is 15th gen descendant of Jamestown, 16th of Powhattan
I'm related to a majority of this colony and I have so many mixed feelings about it, because of what happened to the Indigenous people. I'm also related to Matoaka and the Pamunky tribe including Opechancanough. The history of this country is incredibly challenging and needs to be faced. I really appreciate the honesty of this historian.
Oh my goodness, Stephen Hopkins is my 11th Great Grandfather also. It is so fascinating how connected we are. I have many grandparents and cousins that were aboard the Mayflower. Samoset is a great grandfather, Pocahontas is my 9th Great Aunt.
Pocahontas is my 13th great-grandmother.
Stephen Hopkins and Myles Standish were my 10th Generation Grandfather's!!! Hello cousins!! .. ❤️🧸
Stephen Hopkins was a "troublemaker", according to the aristocratic leaders of the Jamestown colony. The man had very strong egalitarian views for his day and age. He was accused of mutiny and rebellion against the leaders.
Hopkins ended up in Plymouth and again in trouble. Why? for serving beer to servants at the same time as their social betters at the local tavern This is all in Joseph Kelly's book "Marooned: Jamestown, Shipwreck, and a New History of America's Origin."
Good man the, spirited, forward thinking, kind
@user-el7il2to7r I caution you not to use 21st century values to define 17th century behavior. In Hopkins time, he was not a forward thinker. He is pre-Enlightment so no "consent of the governed." Rather, it was more like resentment and hatred of the upper class' hypocrisy. The social equivalent of the finger if you will
Stephen Hopkins is my 11th great grandfather too, through his daughter, Constance.
Stephen Hopkins was my 12th g grandfather, it would be interesting to know how many people descend from him.
Agree, with how many people are here because of him.
My DNA says I'm descended from pocahontas' sister which was a huge surprise. I was raised in the area and never knew
Me too! And then my line goes to Chief Jeremy Cacique and his daughter Elizabeth who married Capt John Collins.
Not only are you one of our best actors ever (I’m a total West Wing addict, I rewatch the series once a year or so) but you have both feet firmly planted in and on our earliest colonial existence! Congrats and Brava🎉
Wow, this man really bit the odds!
Stephen Hopkins was my 13th great grandfather, his great grand daughter Penelope is my 10th great grandmother.
Steven Hopkins’ life would make an amazing movie.
Our common ancestor didn't bring his family on the first voyage, fortunately.
John Smith said you don't work, you don't eat. I think some people did not want to work. You look at pilgrims and they came ashore and ate mussels and had gotten sick.
A researcher contacted me 2 years ago asking me if I knew that my paternal line went back to the
Chief of the tribe aka Pocahontas Father .
I did not know that , now to set out to prove it .
I'm also descended from her father.
Mine too!
My direct line also - through Stephen's son Giles
I don't know my grandfather gives whole different story, coming in from Barbados.
Why were they leaving Bermuda?
A miracle that our country was able to be founded.
Everyone related and that's why Americans have so many relatives . Canada related to.
What about the gruesome stuff that the English did to the indigenous tribes they was eating Indians they don't want to talk about that part😢
ferchrissakes, isn't there anyone here who isn't a cousin of Allison Janney?
Me.😂
@@seekingserenity2973 better take a DNA test, you _must_ be mistaken!
lmao me!
me lol, I'm from New Zealand 🇳🇿
I'm not, thank God. My ancestors weren't colonizers
whilst there is no doubt the american indians behaviour may have or most probably turned 'savage' against the english because lets face it, they were also brutal against other tribes thats just a fact! human beings have been fighting each other for territory forever,, but regardless of how the indians behaved the truth is the english had no intention any than to aggressively taking their lands from the outset and any niceness they displayed was a means to end.
ALONG AS IF THE JAMESTOWN SETTLEMENT DIDN'T END UP LIKE THE ROANOKE COLONY!!!GARY BAILEY KING OF DARKNESS CROATOAN EVERYONE
I ain’t related to none of these “people”. My ancestors are in the Dominican Republic.
Allison could get it !
My god what liats about their murders and colonization of indigenous .
