Sent: Sunday, April 25, 2004 8:05 PM Subject: Calvert Co -
Comments from John which might help to solve some of the problems.
Many thanks for this John.
After
looking at the tree on your web site I thought I put forth
some challenges:
#16
Aaron Yoe: I don't have any information on James Yoe but even
if he did have a son named Aaron, he would be far too young
to have married Ann Burk who, although still unmarried when
her father made his will in 1738, she had siblings married
by that date. I would think she was married to
#2
Aaron Yoe, son of John and Ann (Jarman) Yoe. You have also
made James Yoe a grandfather at age 23 - doesn't seem reasonable
to me.
#20
Benjamin Yoe: are you sure Aaron had a son named Benjamin?
Nicholas Yoe
#6
had a son named Benjamin: WILL: YOE, NICHOLAS, Dated 2 April
1747, filed Queen Anne's Co., MD, 16 July 1747; Wife Jane

William Yoe: here is a alternative proposed by another researcher
- if true it would cast doubt on this being the father of
Perigrin Yoe. Do you have documentation to support William
as father of Perrigrin? Subject: Re: Descendent of Ann Yoe
Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2004 20:03:07 -0600 From: "Charles Craps"
To: "John German" John, sorry it has taken so long to get
back to you. The headstone of Ann said "departed this life
June 24, 1813 on the 61st day of her life" She would have
been born in 1751 or 52. There were several documents in Ohio
in which William Yoe was mentioned and at least one called
him "Old Uncle William Yoe. I found William Yoe's name listed
in THE MARYLAND MILITIA IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR by S. Eugene
Clements as being the unit of Benjamin Bond, Captain. I have
sent to the National Archives to see if he received a pension
(he was still living in the 1830 Fairfield County, Ohio Federal
census.) Have you any evidence that William is the son of
Robert Yoe?
Wow, the site is working,
this is amazing, from Mary Hummell
Now
who was Michael?

Sent: Sunday, February 29, 2004 12:51 AM Subject: Joshua Yeo
dob 1790 in Va. Sheila, I saw with interest that you replied
to Jean's e-mail about Jonas Yeo. I sent her Jonas
Yeo's parents & family information in various e-mails in 2000
. From family letters, which have been passed down, I have
the following information---- Michael Yeo born 13 Feb 1764
in England and died 1836 in England.. He came to America
as a young man and married Sarah Jones. She was born 11 July,
1765 in Va.. They had two sons Joshua (1790) and John (1792).
Sarah died, and Michael returned to England never to return
---leaving the boys bound out to different homes in the Winchester,
Frederick Co. Virginia area. Joshua married Alice Duffy and
by 1830 moved to the area of Ohio where Greene/Clinton/Warren
Co'.s meet. Joshua was a State senator for Greene/Clinton
Co 1834-35.. They bought a farm 2 1/2 miles south of New Burlington
and raised 12 children. (7 of them died as young adults in
the cholera epidemic of 1849-1853). Joshua was a Quaker. His
son Jonas ( Jean's line) was born in 1836. Joshua died 4 Feb
1836 and is buried at the Caesar's Creek Cem. (Quaker) Clinton
Co. Ohio. Jonas's sister- Alcinda and her husband Ethan Kelly--
and Jonas migrated to Wayne Co. Indiana to help establish
the Whitewater MM.. My line is through Joshua's brother, John
Yeo, who followed his brother to Ohio in the early 1830's.
He built a cabin in their woods, and he took his brothers'
place in the Ohio legislature when Joshua's health failed.
I have quite a bit more information on the descendants of
these men but nothing more on their ancestors. Mary in Ohio

In Reply to: Re: Re. John Yeo c. 1672 Calvert Co MD
by jason Carpenter of 386 Jason: I am descended from
John Yoe, married to Ann _______(maiden name not known
for sure, but possibly Jarman or Freeman). John's will
dated 12-17-1733 and probated 1-30-1734 names 10 children:
Stephen, Aaron, John, Thomas, Nicholas, James, Robert,
Lucy, Ann and Sarah. His son, Robert had the following
children, for sure, as they are mentioned in the will
of Robert's brother, John: John (born 7-29-1750, being
my ancestor) and William. June Craps (see her posting
on this forum) is a descendant of one Ann Yoe Rigby,
who was born 1753, traveled west and died in Ohio in
1813. Another researcher believed that a William Yoe
traveled west with the Rigby family. So, possibly, Ann
Yoe Rigby was a sister of John and William Yoe. I have
no idea at this point whether there was more than one
Ann Yoe born in Calvert County c. 1752-1753. Seems that
it might be possible, as the family used the same names
(John, especially, Robert and Ann, over and over again!)
Do you have any idea who Ann Yoe Dashiell's father might
have been? Beth

Reply to: Re. John Yeo c. 1672 Calvert Co MD by Beth
Yoe Fiddler of 386 I also am descended from John Yoe.
His son,Robert married Mary (last name unknown). His
daughter, Anne B. 1753 married William Rigby. They moved
to Ohio, where Anne died in 1813. I also read about
John Yeo, the Episcopal minister in Maryland. I thought
he might be a grandfather of the John Yoe from which
I am descended.

Hello
Sheila, I was so hoping someone would know about my
Harry Yeo and his father Jonas! Sometime ago, I was
contacted and given information that Jonas's father
was a Joshua Yeo but I didn't get their correct e-mail
or my computer crashed? My maternal grandmother was
Ruth Anna Yeo, twin sibling to Willis(?) Yeo,
born March 1893 and buried Earlham Cemetery, Richmond,
Wayne County, Indiana. My grandmother was the child
of Harry Yeo and Laura Shutte, dau/o Charles
and Elizabeth Shutte of Richmond, IN. I have the Robinson
line back to 1698 England courtesy of the Lilly Library,
Richmond, In. What I need is information as to Joshua's
wife and there back! I found a little information in
History(s) of Wayne County Indiana written in the 1880's.
2 years ago, my 85 year young Mother and I ventured
to Wayne COunty where she showed me the house she had
known as a little girl. The house was owned by the 3
daughters of F W Robinson who was the Proprietor for
Swayne Robinson Co. It was still standing but was a
multple apartment. This summer my Mother will be 87.
Emily Robinson, d/o Francis Wills Robinson married Jonas
Yeo in Richmond, Wayne Co. IN. She had 4 children,
Willard Yeo who was with the Railroad in California
and buried Forest Park Cemetery, Glendale, CA. He had
2 daughters, Natalie and Matilda Yeo, by Martha Doane.
Doane-Mills is the Funeral Home in Richmond, same family!
Matilda was my mother's first cousin and died in El
Reno, Oklahoma. We have an antique quilt from her estate
with Bauer names and they are supposedly Nantucket,
Ma Bauers. Haven't made any connection there? Irwin
Yeo was an organist and played in Glendale or Hollywood
California. Mother has a Theater Program from 1941 in
which he was featured as the Soloist. Looking forward
to your reply to this! I went DSL in December and changed
the behind from swb to sbcglobal.net Regards, Jean [email protected]

Dear
Sheila, I suspect that there are more troublesome "addictions"
than Yeo genealogy! I am just getting started on the
Yeo/Yoe line myself, but I am becoming more fascinated
with the possibility of finding the elusive connection.
I live in Indiana, Pennsylvania, a small town about
50 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. Indiana is about 5
1/2 hours by car from Calvert County Maryland. And Calvert
County is part of what is known as "Southern Maryland."
Maryland has an "Eastern Shore" which includes its land
lying east of the Chesapeake Bay. Calvert County is
on the western side of the Bay, and is a peninsula bounded
by the Bay and the Patuxent River. Even when I was a
small child in the 1950's, Calvert County was very isolated,
and it seemed that everyone was related to everyone
else! I don't have any information at this point which
makes me think that the Calvert County Yoes are directly
related to the Elizabeth/Accomack Cos. branch, although
I am not ruling anything out at this point. What has
stymied us in the past is that the courthouse buildings
in Calvert County were destroyed several times by fire.
So even though we have ancestors living there, we have
trouble finding DIRECT records. I have mailed a copy
of the information that you sent me to my father's cousin,
a terrific woman who started doing some research on
our family a number of years ago. I have re-ignited
her interest, and she is planning a trip to the Maryland
Archives. I hope to visit and do some research with
her later this summer. I think that our only chance
of finding the father of my ggggg grandfather John Yoe,
be that the Rev. Yeo or whomever, is going to be through
a "back door" of some kind as my cousin pretty much
exhausted the local primary sources a few years ago.
I'll let you know anything I find out. Beth
Dear
Beth, Can you exlain to me where Calvert County is in
relation to Elizabeth City County and Accomack County
? Do you think that the Yeos in Elizabeth City are connected
to John of Calvert County? What early land records have
survived for that area ? Typical Yeo christian names
are John, Robert, Thomas, Nicholas, James, Ann and Sarah.
Robert and Nicholas are strong Yeo names, especially
for the William and Ellen Grenville descendants. Where
do you live now ? Do you have access to the Maryland
wills etc which seem to have been transcribed into some
book form ? Hope you are sleeping better now. I am afraid
I became addicted to the Yeo clan 10 years ago and have
been studying them in depth ever since. I find I sleep
better as it stops me from thinking about school......Regards
Sheila

From Jason Carpenter
hello, i believe my ann yoe descends from a family
of early marylanders. John Yoe, Planter. of Calvert
co. MD 1660s and 1670s. Hugh Yoe and wife Ann Yoe of
somerset county 1670s and 1680s. Ann Yoe born 1753 married
Capt. benjamin Dashiell of the Dashiell family of Somerset
County MD. The Dashiell family is a first family of
maryland. I believe this Yoe family may well be a first
family also. They are with other prominent families
in both counties in the 1600s. Jones is one such family
they are connected to in both counties at the same time.
I am researching all Yoe people in maryland for 1600s
and 1700s. thank you, Jason Carpenter -------
