Does anyone know about these people? Rebecca was born April 10, 1853 died April 25, 1920. She had a daughter Elizabeth. Rebecca's father was George Yeakle.
John Riser was born in1856.
I believe that Rebecca had a son out of wedlock prior to marrying John. That son would be my grandfather, Sam Yeakle. He was born in1879.
I know that my greatgrandmother and Sam were born in the Indian Springs area of Wash. Co. MD.
In the 1900 census Rebecca is listed with having had 2 children and 2 still living. However she only had one child to John. Rebecca's obit does not mention Sam, but that seems to go with the times of shame and cover up.
I have been going the wrong direction on my research and now because of the help of a kind researcher I think I am at least looking at the right people.
Anyone having information on these families please respond
