Keech, Barber & Yorton Connections
I am working on a file for Jacon Yorton who was born about 1819 and I think he was a son of Paul Yorton and Hannah Markle. I think I have seen two Jacob's born about same time.
This Jacob that I am working on was married three times and had eight children from first marriage, three from second and one from third marriage.
First wife was Lydia Maria Keech daughter of 1794 James Keech (do not confuse him with 1796 James Keech son of 1763 James, they both lived in Oneida County, NYS) and his first wife Patience DROWN.
Second wife was Mary M. (most likely) BARBER, daughter of Russell BARBER and Patience Keech ( a sister to 1794 James Keech)and therefore a first cousin to Lydia.
Third wife was Catherine Keech a half sister to Jacob's first wife Lydia Keech, she was d/of 1794 James Keech and James' second wife Mary Jane Raymond. Catherine was first married to George YOUNGS, by whom she had five children. She and Jacob Yorton had one son that I know of- Burton Homer Yorton born about 1880. Burton married a cousin, Stella Rose Yorton, daughter of Albert K. Yorton and Emily Jane Whipple- Emily is also a BARBER and Keech descendent.
Anyone interested in more info, please post here or contact me directly, and if anyone HAS more info for me on these individuals/families, please let me know.
Thanks from Nora
