The following records are included here as they came to me direct from the source.  I have not verified or done any further research on this family. 


1815 - Solomon Hopkins makes his will in Greenville, S. C.  He obvious lives several years beyond this date. He shows up in the will of his brother-in-law John Harrison as a witness in 1818 seen below.

land records

__________________________________

Our most distant source of the Hopkins line is a 1694 reference to John
Hopkins' 300 acres of land on the Yoppim River in the North Carolina
Historical and Genealogical Register.  This land in old Ablemarle County
was received for "transportation of 6 persons".  John died in 1721. This
same land is later referenced in referenced to Capt. John Hopkins of Chowan
County, NC.  

In 1752 Capt. John Hopkins married Mary King, daughter of Solomon and Amy
King in Chowan County NC. Capt. John died leaving the Long Bridge
Plantation to his wife and child -- Solomon, Sr. (1753-1814). Mary
remarried James Luten in 1754.

Solomon, Sr. had married and moved to Orange County NC along Nelson Creek
(into the Haw River) by 1778. He was "overseer of the road from Ross' Ferry
and to John Hall's". Solomon and wife Margret Harrison would have nine
children (8 surviving):

By 1790, Solomon had moved again to Newberry SC (Laurens County). He
purchased 387 acres for 125 pounds in upper Laurens County. Seven of the
children were born during the families stay in Newberry during the last
decade of the eighteenth century.

By 1800 the family moved to Reedy River in the same county. The three
eldest children (Nancy, James and Mary) had married. Solomon Hopkins, Sr.
died in 1815 and wife Margret Harrison in 1819.

re: the Hopkins in Chowan
...the earliest records of the Perquimans Precinct (Chown NC) beginning in 1681
say:

pg 6 -- "___Hopkins son of Richard & Joan his wife ___h Kinkade ware maried by mr: John
Rite ----ter the thenth of September 1685"

pg 7: --"John Hopkins and Sarah Chaston weare Maried ye 14th: January ___"
The year date is likely 1687 (this entry lies between 1686 and 1687 entries)
On the same page above this entry we find:

"John Chaston son of Roger Chaston and Elizabeth maried Elizabeth Long Daugther of James Long
21 August 1684)". These were Longs were adjacent to Hopkins in Perquimans. This may identify
Sarah Chaston's parents.

pg 30 -- "Samuel Hopkins ye son of John Hopkins and Sarah his wife was boarn ye 2 day of
december Anno 1696"

...this says that there was a Richard Hopkins with one son named ? who
married Sarah Kincade in 1685 and a John Hopkins who marries Sarah Chaston in 1687.

1820 - U. S. Census,  Greenville Dist.  S. C. roll 120 , page 152 -  all of these folks are on the same page.  There is no indication of Thomas Terry on this census so we feel he must have died by this time.
