I am trying to locate information on my great grandfather and great grandmother (Randal Hopkins, born 1824 in GA and Nancy Hopkins, born 1845 in VA).
I am currently looking for the following primary documents:

1). Marriage Settlement of (Dr. Thomas Spaulding Hopkins first marriage in May 1839, to Miss Julia Mary Dufour, daughter of Louis and Marie (Ponce) Dufour, a French family, from St. Mary’s. She was born in March 1821 at St. Mary's and died in Brunswick, October 15, 1846. The second marriage was on November 14 1847, to Miss Jane Elizabeth Gignilliat, daughter of John ^Ma~^ and Jane Mary (Pepper) Gignilliat of Glynn County. She was born at Oak Grove in Glynn County, July 14, 1821, and died March 18, 1886, in Thomasville.

2). Dr. Thomas Spalding father’s, Plantation Journal will and/or family papers, inventories, appraisements with slaves names (Francis Hopkins, Brig.Gen., Birth: 1772 near Bluffton, S.C., Death: 5 MAY 1821 in McIntosh Co., GA, Note: wife: Rebecca Sayre Hopkins), they were a prominent McIntosh County family of early days of that county. Francis Hopkins met his friend, Thomas Spalding of Darien (in Savannah) who suggested moving to McIntosh Co, agreeing to sell him 2 to3 Plantations. First settled on Sapelo Island at "Chatelet", a plantation from Mr. Spalding 22 Jan 1805. But in 1808, he bought a home at Bellville on the mainland lived there a year, then moved to High Bluff Plantation which he had bought and where his mother died in 1812. Also owned plantations at Sapelo, Skiesfield on Heard's Island, Bellville and Baisden's Bluff.

3) .Dr. Thomas Spalding Hopkins Plantation Journal, will and/or family papers, inventories, appraisements with slaves names born in Bellville, McIntosh County June 15, 1818, and died at his home in Thomasville November 12, 1904. His first practice was in Wayne and Glynn Counties, living on a plantation near Waynesville, which he bought. He later moved to Sherwood Plantation near the same town, where he lived with his family until forced by the dangers of the Civil War period to move further inland, and in this way came about his removal to Thomasville April 1863..
