there was another George yeager in the area in 1772, so could be related.
treaty of Fort Stanwix in 1768, which reduced Indian hostilities along the frontier, settlements sprang up all along the Ohio River. However, settlement was still prohibited. Legal title to land was not available until 1779, making it difficult to determine the county’s first permanent settler. According to land records of 1782, the following pioneers were living in the county in 1772: Thomas Batton, Sr., Michael Cresap, John Gibson, Mark Hardin, William Minor, William Stewart, and George Yeager.

Your George Yeager was my gg grandfather. Born 1806, married Elizabeth Minor 1840, diet 1879. They were a part of the Blackville community but I believe they lived on the Greene County Pa side of the border.

Based on the location of the property and the names of the parties described in the will of Peter Yeager, I believe that George was the son of Peter and his wife Mary, but I have no birth or death information about Peter and Mary.

If I can provide any other information, please contact me.
