About Thomas Page, Tithable Weopemioick Yawpim of "Cumberland Indian" from Curratuck
Tithable census for New Kent Parish Roll of New Kent Tithables where out of about 1500 people, the NA were listed as tithable. The Pages's obtained their land from being headrights to the back country as paid for by Capt/Burges John Rice Hooe II (as he spelled it) in 1668 for his 309 acres that he purchased in 1168 and this Thomas Page was died in the backcountry for which his one of 8 headrights party were purchased for and when arriving the Coharie area, their settlement leader name it Haw River for How for Hooe II.==Yeopim was an Anglocized attempt to say Weopemieoke coined in solid use by 1740. Source: Weapemeoc has also been spelled Weapomeiock, Weapomeiok (Mook 1944), and Weopomeoke. It seems that this was ‘shortened’ to Yawpim or that a name-change occurred at some point. Yawpim seems to be the most frequently used name for this group of Indians in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries with a few variations, Yapim, Yawpims, Yawpine, Yausapin, Jaupim, Yapun and Vopim. Yausapin is used in the deed with Nathaniel Batts (NCSA, Nathaniel Batts Papers, 1655-1660). Yeopim appears in the original land grants between the King of these Indians and George Durant. The original land grant no longer exists and there are only transcriptions in a variety of locations, such as Documenting the American South http://docsouth.unc.edu (DocSouth), Hathaway’s North Carolina Historical and Geneaological Register (1900) and in Vaughan’s Early American Indian Documents (2001). The term Yeopim does not appear again until 1740 and comes into frequent use amongst historians and archaeologists in the twentieth century.
