Re: ***UNIDENTIFIED YEAKLEY'S ON TEXAS DEATH LIST***
Hi my name is Amanda Martin. My maiden name is Yeakley. We live in Arkansas. My aunt has been doing research on the Yeakley's for as long as I can remember. I didn't know if you would be interested in knowing anything for your research. I doubt any of us are on the Tesas death list, but who knows, it could help.

Re: ***UNIDENTIFIED YEAKLEY'S ON TEXAS DEATH LIST***
Hello Amanda,
I bet your Aunt is Ruby Yeakley. Anyway Amanda, we are ALL connected by that name. There has not been one Yeakley family enter this country since it was first recorded per the Immigration Dept. I have worked on George's brother, Jacob's line and even traced one of them back to St. Joseph,Missour. Have his death cert. If they are in Texas, they are ours down from George O. Yeakley and Lydia Grubbs. That is the line these people are from but low and behold, the Texas Death cert. don't always list the parents.

Re: ***UNIDENTIFIED YEAKLEY'S ON TEXAS DEATH LIST***
Hello TY and other Yeakley family members!
I have recently uploaded the results of a YDNA test for a family member to Ancestry and the closest (but weak) match I have is with a Yeakley with a name mentioned in this thread. (There is one other Yeakley in the US telephone directory with the same given name and middle initial, in Ohio.) The last log-in for the member was a few months before the person by that name, mentioned in this thread, sadly died, it seems.
I wonder whether you or any other family member knows the person who did YDNA testing and, if it is the person mentioned in this thread, whether any other family member is carrying on the interest. (I am not mentioning the name, for privacy.)
I have gathered from looking at on-line family trees (dward's for instance) that your family traces to a Henry Yeakley 1771 Pennsylvania and George behind him mentioned in this thread, and from other information on line that it is a Jewish family.
The family of my YDNA testee is recorded in parish records (Church of England) in a village in Wiltshire, England, back to near the beginning of records, circa 1600: 8 generations back from my testee. I believe that the families descended from my testee's grx2 grandfather born c1820 are the only surviving members of the surname line, of which the c1820 man, and his father and grandfather each of whom had only one surviving son, seem to have been the last.
Yeakley seems to be a name unknown in English records -- but of course it is likely a variant of an earlier surname in any event, likely adopted upon settling in the US. I see the name Jackle (likely Germanic and undoubtedly pronounced "y" for the "J") mentioned in this thread, for instance.
Ancestry in its infinite wisdom puts the connection between my testee and the Yeakley testee at 8 generations back. This is kindergarten-level DNA analysis, of course. Ancestry predicts the Most Recent Common Ancestor of someone known to share my testee's grx2 grandfather as two generations back, when it is known to be four generations. (Actually, their YDNA results are identical so they could have had the same father. ;) )
The two testees, my testee and the Yeakley testee, had not actually tested to a level that would allow for a valid prediction, although there are more points of comparison between the Yeakley testee and my testee's known relation (whose results I assume to be identical to my testee's) because of different markers tested at Ancestry and at FTDNA. Those two are 5 steps out, with one known to be a fast mutator (no information for the others). In fact, another person with whom I have received a match is a closer match for the Yeakley testee: 2 steps out at the level tested to. That family is probably from Hertfordshire, England, and likely emigrated as Quakers as part of the migrations associated with William Penn from that locality; we are working on that history. Both of us have just ordered more advanced testing. Of course, I can't see other matches for the Yeakley testee -- only those with whom I have also been matched. I can provide the comparative table I have done of these three testees if someone is interested.
I suspect that the Yeakley family may be in the same position as that other match of mine: in the US without certain information about European roots, and that this was why the Yeakley member did YDNA testing.
My testee is Yhaplogroup 12b (M223, probably cont2b) which is relatively uncommon in England and is more associated with northern Europe. So probably we are related ... way back. ;)
If any of you in the male surname line (or with family members in the male surname line) are interested in pursuing this, I recommend testing at FTDNA which has a large database and active surname and other projects, and joining the M223 Yhaplogroup project if that is the result. And, if the Yeakley who has tested with Ancestry or someone who can administer his test is interested, transferring the results to FTDNA and upgrading. Joining the M223 project will find the closest matches in that project, which now has some 2000 members, many with non-UK European roots.
Nice to meet the Yeakleys, and I will be pleased to see replies from anyone interested.

Sorry, don't seem to be able to edit the above.
I've just seen, in another thread, where Linda says:
"James Madison Yeakley was listed in Quaker books, served in the Confederat Army and collected a Civil War Pension in Texas"
and so I wonder whether there might in fact be a connection with the other person my testee has a weak-ish YDNA match with (and with whom the Yeakley testee has the stronger match), given the likely Quaker English origins of that family. I believe the General who was possibly a brother or cousin of their ancestor was on the side of the angels in that particular conflict though. ;)
The Jewish affiliation I am seeing on line may be a more recent and not ethnic one.

Has anyone ever considered the surname JAEGELI (and variants) as a source of Yeakley? https://familysearch.org/search/record/results#count=75&...~ Two children baptised in Lebanon, PA, in the 1740s -- both girls, but nothing to say there were not other children born elsewhere, or other family members. Hans Jaegeli could fairly easily have become Henry Yeakley, for example: Maria Jaegeli christening: 20 April 1748 QUITOPAHILLA OR HILL CHURCH, ANNVILLE, LEBANON, PENNSYLVANIA father: Hans Ulrich Jaegeli mother: Liesbet Regina Jaegeli christening: 19 October 1746 QUITOPAHILLA OR HILL CHURCH, ANNVILLE, LEBANON, PENNSYLVANIA father: Hans Ulrich Jaegeli mother: Lisbet The church (actually spelled Quitapahilla it seems): http://www.freewebs.com/lebanonmoravian/aboutus.htmAs another example, there is an Ancestry/Mundia tree showing François Joseph Jageli Jagli 1757 with daughter Anastasia Yackley Jagli ... whose descendant seems to marry back into the line to a Yackley son of Jagli ... but while there are dates there are no places shown, although I would suspect Switzerland. Probably not the same family, but a good indication of surname mutations maybe. Just me musing while I trawl for people to draw into DNA testing. ;)
