I have a decsendant yingling.My Yingling family changed there name from yingling to England.It was changed ether second or third generation American.You may want to look through some of the Englands.........................................
Christian came to U.S. about 1710.
Abraham 1715-1799
John (this is where a name change is stated "England")
DOB 1745-1816
William 1 1765- ?
William 2 1784-1854
I suppose that there could have been people that aknowlaged bothe spellings for several generations.
Good Luck.............Kimberly

Kimberly , your post is very old, but I hope you are still monitoring this list. I have a problem with a Yingling who left her young children with an Elizabeth England Miller/Hockenbury. It has been suggested this could be her sister. Would it be ratonale to believe someone born as an England would change their name to Yingling. This would have happened in Clearfield, PA.

I'm not Kimberly, but.. When the name cam to the US it was properly spelled Jungling (umlaut over the u). Through poor ear to hand skills of the immigration folks of the time, improper spelling by census takers and various 'americanization' efforts since then the spelling has diverged in several different ways. All that to say, one of the ways the original Jungling has evolved is England. So yes, your England could be Yingling.
