Classification: Query

I'd like to find out the origins and reltionships of the Yater family from
Garrard Co, Ky. I'd like to see if they are connected with the Yoder family of
Switzerland, and the Conrad Yeater who came from Virgina to Kentucky and on to
Missouri. I believe they both may have been linked to Catherine Yoter who
married a Joshua Younger. And that the family name may have started off in Va
as Yoter.(Yoder)

T- Henry H. Yeater (Yater) (8/15/1765 Ky(?)-2/10/1848 (sic?) Lancaster,
Garrard Co, Ky) b. c1770 Gmy m. 6/23/1790 Ky by the Rev. Joseph Bledsoe in
the Separate Baptist Church to Nancy McManus (c1772 Va(?)-9/26/1834 Lancaster,
Garrard, Ky) Henry is bur. in the Yater Cem. on Hurt Lane near Hyattsville
and Back Creek, Garrard Co.,
Ky. (Per one census record the implication is that
Henry was b. Germany and Nancy b. Ireland) resident of Garrard Co., KY. d.

To prove or disprove this, I'd like to get a male Yater and a male Yeater from
these lines to participate in the Yoder DNA project. See:

http://www.yodernewsletter.org/dna.html

for more details.

Does anyone have a male Yater up their sleeve who might be willing to do this?

Best regards,

Surnames: Yater
My family is from Henry Yater/Nancy McManus Yater's son, Abraham Yater/Martha "Patsey" Rea Yater's line. I have a brother who might be interested. He fits the profile you are looking for from the Yater line.

Thanks mel0one,

The Yater DNA testing has returned and shown a common ancestor between Henry Yater (in Ky by 1798) and Samuel Yetter of Columbia County, PA. We are hoping to get representatives of other Yeater/Yetter lines to be tested to confirm that they come from a single family line (or not). In 18th Cen Pa there is Ludwig and Andrew, and later on there are Yeaters who come from a know origin point in Germany. Anyone interested, and a male in one of these lines contact me.
