HiAll,

In digging around this evening (no pun intended) I found an Isaac Barnes
buried in the Barnes Cemetery at Irving College. He was listed as a member
of the 2nd D Co 35th Tenn Infantry.

In my files I have an Isaac Barnes who is the son of Charles Barnes (b. 1
Apr 1809) and Susannah Smith. This Charles sister was the brother of my GG
Grandmother, Mary (Polly) Barnes m. Samuel Worthington. I understand that
Charles and Mary's father William was killed in a powder mill explosion at
Irving College in 1819 and it really does seem like too much of a
coincidence.

By chance, can someone tell me if these are the same person?

Wanda (Worthington) VanderVeen

Dear Wanda,

While not a Barnes researcher per se, several of my direct lines and Barnes lines intermarried.

This is the information that I have compiled from several different Barnes cousins.

Generation 1

John Barn b. 1661 in Surrey, England + Katherene O'Stoner. They had two children known to me to be

William Barn and Thomas Barn b. 1695 in Surrey, England. I have no further information on Thomas.

Generation 2

Thomas Barn, above
William Barn b. ca 1695 in Surrey, England + Dorothy Hansard. I list 4 children for them:

Leonard b. 1709;
Thomas b. 1711;
Richard b. 1719 and
John Barnes, Sr., who changed his name to Barnes b. 1712 in Essex, England.

Generation 3

John Barnes, Sr. b. 1712 in Essex, England who married 1737 in Plymouth, Massachusetts to Mary Plummer. They had 5 children known to me.

Lydia b. 1750,
John Barnes, Jr. b. 1751,
Thomas Barnes b. 1756 in Lincoln, NC [more later],
Hanner Barnes b. 1757, and
Mary b. 1760.

Generation 4

Thomas Barnes b. 1756 in Lincoln, NC who married Margaret St. Jermyn.

They had one child known to me who is William B. Barnes.

Generation 5

William B. Barnes b. 1780 in Edgecomb, NC, d. 1819 in Warren Co., TN. These are my notes for William: William B. Barnes born 1790 and died 1819 at Irving College in Warren County from burns in a powder mill explosion. He was one of the first to be buried at Shellsford Baptist Church (unmarked grave).

He was married to Charity Philips. Children: Thomas, Mary, Sara, Charles, William, Jesse, Millery, and Eliza.

More on William: From the William and Mary Quarterly (possible parents for William): June 28, 1785. --- Wm. Barnes & Mary, his wife, of Parish of Blissland, New Kent, to Wm. Place, of St. Paul's, Hanover, on Black Creek, Littleberry Wade's, & Turner Slaughter.

Settler: 3 Aug 1812, Collins River Valley, Warren, TN

Probably buried at the Shellsford Baptist Church. * The cemetery is located in Warren Co., TN SE of McMinnville in the Shellsford community on State Road
127.

Gen. 5 continued:

William B. Barnes married Charity Phillips b. 24 Aug 1783 in Georgia and died 8 May 1871 in Warren Co., TN. She is probably buried in an unmarked grave in Shellsford Cemetery with her husband. These are my notes for Charity Phillips: BARNES, PHILLIPS

posted by Sandi McDonnell on Sunday, May 30, 1999

Charity PHILLIPS was born 24 August 1783 in Georgia. She married William B. BARNES in Warren Co., KY 7 Jul 1800. By 1806, they were in Warren Co., TN along with William and Sarah PHILLIPS, Charity's aunt and uncle. (William and Sara's daughters were Elizabeth, Charity and Millery)

This Phillips family is related to Joel and Elizabeth Phillips of Wilkes Co., GA, and traces its roots back to the Phillips family of Richmond Co., VA. I am searching for Charity (b. 1787 d. 1871) Phillips's parents.

Charity Phillips and William B. Barnes had 8 children known to me:

Generation 6

1. Thomas Barnes (1800-1881) + Hannah Martin (1803-1889), d/o James Martin
b. 1774 in North Carolina and d. in Kentucky and Ellender Yokum b. 1778 in
Kentucky. I have more information on this Martin and Yokum line should you
be interested.

2. Mary "Polly" Barnes (1805-1866) + Samuel Worthington. You probably have
much more info here that will undoubtedly be more accurate than mine.

3. Sarah "Sack" Barnes (ca 1807 TN/1860 Arkansas) + John Barnes with 8
children.

4. Charles Barnes (1809-1864) + Susannah Smith (1812-1896) d/o Isaac Smith
and Brittania Savage. This couple is the parents of the Lt. Isaac Barnes who
married Susannah Elinor Hill d/o Irving/Ervin Hill and Eleanor Morgan that
you mentioned in you e-mail. I list 13 children for Lt. Isaac Barnes and
Susannah Elinor Hill.

5. William P. Barnes (1812-1882) + Margaret Hill, possibly related to
Susannah above.

6. Jesse Barnes (1813-1887) + 1) Selinda Fields, 2) STB White, 3) Bessie
Campbell, and 4) STB Burger.

7. Mildred "Millery" Barnes (1816-1863) + Henderson Safley

8. Elizabeth "Eliza" Barnes (1819-1889) + Thomas S. Myers.

Again, this information has been shared with me by several Barnes cousins and
is not my original research. It might, however, be a good starting point for
further research.

Sincerely,

Sue Tiffany

Thomas married Margaret St. Jermyn. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Alexander married unnamed spouse in (CIRCA 1775). unnamed was born in (CIRCA 1755). [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Jesse Yocum is an ancestor of my wife, Gina Chamberlain Ferstel. Jesse and Diana Denton Yocum came out to Louisiana from Kentucky between 1800 and 1810. Jesse applied for a revolutionary war veteran pension but was apparently turned down. Since he fought in the battle of Blue Licks and as held POW for nearly a year, he should have been eligible.

(In addition, Jesse' brother Thomas Denton Yocum also migrated to Louisiana but moved to Texas where he lived in Liberty and Sour Lake, TX. He was part of the infamous Yocum Gang--> Check the "Handbook of Texas Online" on the Web for more information about Thomas).

Jesse and Diana lived in north Louisiana in the parish(county) called Natchitoches. There son, Jesse, eventually migrated by 1850 to south Louisiana to Cameron Parish to the town of Grand Cheniere, where the family stayed and produced another son named Jesse, whose son Ross finally moved the entire family to Jefferson County, TX around 1916.

I don't see any connection with the names you mentioned, but I hope this provides some help.

Subject: Matthias; George(1755) and Martha (Van Bebber) Yoakum; Felty/Valentine; early Yoakum line.

Comments:

Just visited this page and want to say thanks for the time invested in getting started. GREAT IDEA. I have a truck load of YOAKUM information. First off some corrections: Matthias YOAKUM married Eleanor SEA/ZEH/SEE. Matthias was father of Valentine YOAKUM. I'm not sure if Eleanor was his mother, as I suspect she was a second wife of Matthias. Matthias left LW&T in Lincoln County, Kentucky in 1780's. Valentine went by the nickname "Felty", and can be seen in some historical accounts as Felty. ALL researchers confuse these as two different men, but I can prove they are the same man. Valentine "Felty" YOAKUM is believed to be married to Margaret ________. I cannot prove this definite, but records suggest this is her name. Valentine and Margaret? had at least three children: Sarah (Salley), Elizabeth, and George YOAKUM (1755). In 1763 on Muddy Creek in Greenbrier County, this family was massacred along with several other families by Shawnee Indians. Valentine "Felty" YOAKUM was killed. His wife and children taken hostage, and later released in an Indian treaty with Colonel Henry BOUQUET in the Winter of 1764/1765. The four named YOAKUM wife? and children above are on the lists of captives released.

George was about eight years old when captured. He later fought at the Battle of Point Pleasant on Oct 10, 1774 with the VAN BEBBER brothers. Isaac VAN BEBBER was killed in this battle against the border Indians led by Chief Cornstalk. George later married Isaac's daughter: Martha VAN BEBBER/VAN BIBBER. ALL Historians claim she is Margaret but I have proof she is Martha. They married about 1776/1777. They had 12 children whose names I have. George and Martha moved to what is now Dryden, Virginia in Southwest of state in 1786 with four of Martha's VAN BEBBER siblings. They all stayed in this area at YOAKUM Station until 1796 when they moved to what is now Speedwell, CLAIBORNE County, Tennessee and built another YOAKUM Station on the lands of John VAN BEBBER, a brother of Martha (and my ancestor).

The children of George and Martha were: Isaac YOAKUM (who married Mary DAVIS (not Martha)); Peter YOAKUM, Valentine "Felty" YOAKUM; John YOAKUM; George YOAKUM, II; Robert YOAKUM; Jesse YOAKUM; Margaret YOAKUM; Nancy YOAKUM; William YOAKUM; James YOAKUM; and Matthias YOAKUM. George was killed in a bear hunt on Oct 28, 1800 in the Cumberland Mountains and buried in Powell Valley close to the YOAKUM Station. His widow, Martha, left Tennessee in 1810 and went to Illinois and by 1819 settled in Salisbury Township near Springfield where she later died. Several of her children were with her in Illinois. I have so very much information on this family I could not begin to list all the descendants. Thank You.

Steve Smith.

Jo DUNNE has just told me about the Yoakum-L Discussion List which led me to your Web Page. It's fantastic!!!

We are related as eighth cousins, once removed. At least I think I have it down correctly. I am assuming that you are one of the "Us Brown Kids" and a son of 10. Vertie Mae [RUNYON] BROWN. We both go back to 3. Francis JOCHEM, b. ABT 1678, who was our common ancestor. Your line continued down through Francis' son, 4. George YOCUM, b. 1719, while my line descended from another son, 4. Mathias YOCUM, b. 1700-1705-1715, who was a brother to your 4. George. These brothers were in the Fourth generation.

My line continued from 4. Mathias YOCUM; through 5. Jacob YOAKUM, b. ABT 1732; 6. Solomon YOACHUM, b. ABT 1769; 7. George W. YOACHUM, b. 1796; 8. James Harvey "Harve" YOACHUM, b. 1840; 9. Sarah Alice [YOACHUM] DAVIS, b. Jun 5, 1864, Greene County, MO; 10. Mina Jane [DAVIS] ROBERTSON, b. Sep 30, 1886, Billings, Christian County, MO; 11. Sloan Davis ROBERTSON, b. Aug 8, 1915, Aurora, Lawrence County, MO; and finally to me, 12. Sloan Lindsey ROBERTSON, b. Oct 26, 1947, Red Bank, Monmouth County, NJ.

I have briefly looked through the areas of your Web Page. The "JOCHEM, YOAKUM, YOKUM, OUTLINE" is most interesting. I was immediately drawn to the name Margaret GOLD who was listed as the wife of 7. James YOCHUM, b. 1828. I think that there is an error, or there were two Margaret GOLDS which is unlikely. The 7. James YOCHUM, b. 1828 was the son of 6. Jacob YOCUM, b. 1802; and a grandson of 5. George YOCUM, b. May 7, 1763. This 6. George YOCUM was also your ancestor.

Margaret L. GOLD, b. Mar 30, 1840, Lincoln County, TN: d. Feb 22, 1894, Int. Smart Cemetery, Christian County, MO, was the daughter of Jonathan and Sarah [RYALLS] GOLD. On Aug 1, 1858, Greene County, Missouri, she married 8. James Harvey YOACHUM, b. 1840. He was the son of 7. George W. YOACHUM, b. 1796. 8. James Harvey and Margaret L. [RYALLS] GOLD were my great-great-grandparents.

In the section titled JOCHEM 3, Descendants of Heinrich Jochem, there is a more complete listing for 7. James YOCUM, b. 1828. He is listed with a marriage to Margaret GOLD on August 1, 1858 in Greene County, MO. I believe that the two James YOCUM/YOACHUMS are being confused. I don't have any information on the 7. James YOCUM, b. 1828, son of 6. Jacob YOCUM, b. 1802; but it was my great-great-grandfather, 8. James Harvey YOACHUM, b. 1840, who married Margaret L. GOLD on Aug 1, 1858 in Greene County, MO.

I can see that it would be easy to confuse the two. The marriage in 1858 would be consistent with someone born in 1828. I do not have a copy of their Marriage Certificate and don't know just how his name was listed. Family tradition indicates that he went by the nickname "Harve." On Census records he appeared under various names: 1860 Greene County, Harvey YOCUM; and 1870 Lawrence County, James H. YOACHUM. By 1870 he had been divorced from Margaret and remarried to a Sarah I. with two additional children. Margaret had married a William GERROTT/JARRETT, and they were listed on the 1870 Census for Christian County, MO along with Margaret's three children from her first marriage to 8. James Harvey YOACHUM.

I don't have any information on any of the early YOACHUMS before 7. George W. YOACHUM except for what I have found in some of the same sources that you already have. However, I have prepared an eleven page outline of the descendants of 7. George W. YOACHUM from his two marriages to (1) Alcey FRIEND and (2) Elizabeth HOPPER. Elizabeth was my great-great-great-grandmother and the mother of my 8. James Harvey YOACHUM. I can Snail-Mail you a copy.

All of this new YOACHUM information is mind-boggling. Most of my time has been spent in researching my ROBERTSON, GOLD, and HART lines. I had planned on one day being able to find out more about my YOACHUM ancestors. I had no idea that there were so many cousins out there with the same interest.

Please let me know how I may be able to help.

Best regards,

Comments:

Glad the information that I furnished you on Mary Lucinda (Lula) Allen Yocum, wife of John Yocum of Franklin Co., Alabama, was helpful. Will you be incorporating it into the web site?

Also, a couple of miscellaneous Franklin County, Alabama, Yocum notes. First, there were Yocums there by 1818. In that year, a letter was sent to Gov. Bibb of the Alabama Territory, regarding the roll of the Franklin Co., militia. A John Yocum was listed as a Captain. The full roster may be viewed at the Franklin County page of the Alabama genealogy site called "Tracking Your Roots". Secondly, Joshua Yocum was "drafted" into the 10th Alabama Cavalry, CSA, on February 4, 1865. When that unit attacked Tuscumbia, AL on the 21st of February, he deserted and crossed Union lines to seek amnesty. He was granted an immediate parole, and was given permission to "stay north of the river [the Tennessee]" until the end of hostilities. The north bank of the river was securely in Union hands, so he would have been protected from reprisal. Also, A Joshua Yocum was appointed postmaster at the "Yocum" statio post office in Franklin Co., around 1900. Finally, there's a Yocum Cemetery in Frankiln, though I don't know exactly where.

Keep up the good work,

Hi Greg,
[Steve's] brief writeup about George is quite interesting. I've been researching the Germans who settled in Berks Co., PA. My wife is descended from Martin Stupp who lived in Tulpehocken Township. He and a large group of Germans arrived in New York in 1710 at the behest of the English Queen. They settled in Schoharie Co., NY. Because of disatisfaction they moved some years later to Berks Co. If you go to the Schoharie Co. web site they have 2 histories there that discuss all of that.

I'm one of your researchers and my wife is also descended from Elizabeth
Yocum (1800-1833).
Keep up the good work. Gordon
