My maternal grandmother is Hattie Florence Yopp Sellers-(Feb 28, 1880-Mar 17, 1944) Her family comes from Onslow, NC and I can trace back as far as Jeremiah Yopp (1759-1823) I think his father was John Yopp (1723-1803) Does anyone have any information on who the orginal Yopp settlers were and what country they orginated from or information on this Yopp line?

My great-grandfather was John J. Yopp, son of Jeremiah Yopp and his wife, Sarah; Jeremiah's parents were Jeremiah and Hannah Chase Yopp; and that Jeremiah was the son of John and Winnifred Yopp. It is my understanding that the Yopp's, including John, were from Northumbrland County, Virginia, but John died in Onslow County. In more than 40 years of searching I've not been able to get back any farther than that; however, I do have some birth and death dates, if you don't have those.

If you are looking for information, you should get a copy of Emma (Yopp) Murray's book on the Yopp family. It's $30 plus $6 shipping. There are still some copies and it will not be reprinted. The book starts with John and Winnefred Yopp-the parents of Jeremiah Yopp (m Hannah Chase). Jeremiah and Hannah's son was John Chase Yopp (b 1795, m Mary Anne Larkin.) There is also some background on the family -- apparently the Yopps came from Germany.

The book was researched before the internet, and Mrs. Murray found errors in court records, etc. As she came across updated information, she added it to a page of revisions which comes with the book. Ms Murray is 88 and her daughter is handling the sales (at same address/phone below.)
