I have found information in school records for Town of Andes, Delaware, NY concerning Smith Yaples and his children. Town of Andes, School District #9 - Jan 1, 1856 Smith Yaples had 4 children between the ages of 4 and 21 on Dec. 31, 1855. On Sep 30, 1856 - 5 children, School year Jan 1-Dec 31, 1856, 6 children and Jun 1-Dec 31, 1857, 5 children. I don't know if this will help anyone to recognize anything, but it can't hurt.
