When was your Calvin Yawn born? Where did your Ida Yawn, J T Yawn, Thomas Daniel Yawn, William Henry Yawn, Sam Yawn, Sally Yawn, and Bever Yawn live? Can you send me a Register of this family. I am trying to locate my great grandfather's family that may have lived in GA so I have had to collect information on many Yawn families. His name was Joseph Richard Yawn born in about 1843 in Georgia (county).His name first occured on records in Covington and Jones County MS in 1861. He married a Martha Ann Knight from Jones Co MS.

wmharrell, do you by any chance know the name and birth of the father of Calvin Yawn Sr born Oct 1883? Is he a descendent of James Yawn born 1799 in SC and Lucy Poole born 1803 in SC? They had a son named Calvin born in 1827 in Telfair County Ga. Just searching.
