I don't have information on Adam Yeckley's parents. What I have on Adam Yeckley is in the 1860 California (Sutter county) census he was 36 yrs old born in N.Y., he was listed with a wife Elizabeth 32 years old born in Ind. and five children. Harriet (15,Calif.), Andrew (7,Calif.), William (5,Calif.)
Anna M.(3,Calif. my ancestor),and Francis (1, Calif.).
In the 1870 Nevada county Ca. census Adam is 49 yrs old.
The only other information I have on him is a few words in the city council minutes of Timbucktoo California, 1864 and 1865 talking about the volunteer fire department.

Lets see if I can give you a round up of what I have,

-1860 Sutter county Butte township California census has: A. Yeckley 36 born in N.Y. a farmer / Elizabeth 32 born in Ind. / Harriet 15 born in Ca. / Arthur 7 born in Ca. / William 5 born in Ca. / Anna M. 3 born in Ca. / Frances 1 born in Ca.
-1870 Nevada county Grass Valley California census has: Adam 49 Blacksmith, Elizabeth 43, Arthur 16, William 15, Annie 13, Minnie 6, Oscar 4.
-1880 Piute county Circle Valley Utah census has: Adam 59 herding sheep, Annie 58, Arthur 29, William 23, Minnie 15.

In the 1860's they lived in Timbucktoo California, which is about 20 miles east of Marysville on Hy. 20. It was a large gold mining town way back when, at it's peak it had a population of 6,000. When the gold ran out so did the people, there is nothing left there now execpt a California state historical marker. When I was in Marysville I read through some of the Timbucktoo Council minutes (which are stored in the Marysville lib.) That is where I found out that Adam Yeckley was a member of the local volunteer fire dept.

My only questions I have of our information is: I haven't found any reference to a Mary Jane Yeckley and Annie Yeckley married Junius Theodore McMurtry born 22 feb 1844 in Kentucky he died on 30 Nov. 1925. They were married 3 july 1872 in Yuba county California, and they had 8 children. Junius was a civil war vet and is buried in the Sawtelle Soldier's home in Los Angeles. Annie Marie Yeckley died 30 Dec. 1902 and is buried in Colma California.

I'm tracing the James tree of my family, and after reading your notes, I'm thinking I may be on the wrong limb. My research shows Harriet Yeckly married Thomas E James who was born in England in 1843 or 1839. I'm wondering if any one reading this has documentation showing the Thomas James whom Harriet Yeckley married really was born in Indiana. If these are the correct people, they had a daughter named Annie Louise, who was my g-grandmother. I found a census record showing Thomas was married to someone else in 1900, and a hand-written record in a family bible confirms this. There are a couple of family trees online which show Harriett died in Oregon in 1924, and a couple of tree stating she died in the 1800's.

Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!!!

Marsha
