[Lonesome in Massachussets]

There was an unrelated Stephen Hopkins from Rhode Island who signed the Declaration of Independence. I found the church in England where my Stephen Hopkins was baptized. BTW, the Bermuda shipwreck, which was widely reported in England contemporaneously, was partially the basis for The Tempist, and Hopkins is the (at least possibly) the basis for the character Stephano.
