About 15 years ago, I worked with a Stephen Hopkins in Houston, TX. He told me that he was related to the Stephen Hopkins you're asking about. I remember this, because I too, am a direct descendant of a signer of the Declaration of Independence, that person being Edward Rutledge, son of statesman John Rutledge. Anyway, I have no idea if the Stephen Hopkins I worked with is still living in Houston, but that might at least steer you in the right direction. Good Luck!

Stephen Hopkins was an interesting character and very famous. you shouldn't have the slightest trouble finding a long list of his relatives on any worthwhile genealogy site.
If you go to Providence, RI you can visit his house which is preserved in its orginal 1700s condition.

I'm sorry, but what Americans are you talking about that these rights are not true for? It is true that some people have tried to take those rights away from some cultures, races and women. But we have the right to those just like every body else. Every body has the right to live (life) and be free (liberty) and also to find our own happiness (pursuit of happiness).
