Yeopim Creek, spelled variously Yawpim, Yoppim and Yeopim, is the same Creek each time mentioned. The correct spelling is Yeopim, and it is pronounced, Yoppim. Also the Creek now called Minsies Creek, was originally Minge Creek, and later called Ming Creek, which in provincial parlance become Minses Creek. This Creek is in Harvey Neck, and is supposed to have been named for James Minge of Surry Co Va, who settled and took up land on said Creek before 1701.
