Jacob & Ellen Yingling, PA
Looking for any information or descendants of Jacob & Ellen Yingling who lived in Hawk Run, PA in 1900. They had 12 children as far as I know. Their names were; Nellie, Lawrence, Viola, Arthur, Greta, Agnes, Theodore, Elsie, Harvey, Joseph, Dora, and Mabel. Mabel was my maternal Grandmother. I recall most of these Aunts and Uncles, but I don't know where Jacob and Ellen were born, etc. I believe Ellen's maiden name may have been Richards. Any information would be helpful and I can share what I have plus any memories of these folks. I remember Greta, Agnes, Elsie, and of course Mabel mostly, but I can recall traveling as a young boy to visit Aunt Nellie and Aunt Aggie.

Have you any great aunts with the name of Margaret Yingling? Her son James Moffit ended up in Hawk Run and died in 1908. I have been unable to find any relatives.

Re: Jacob & Ellen Yingling, PA
To be perfectly honest with you I remember that name, but I can't remember the person or the relationship. I guess my hair is too gray and you know gray hair destroys memory cells. She probably was a sister to Jacob and I never knew him. He died before I came along in '44. I do have a picture of the Yingling clan from Hawk Run with ID's on the back. I'll dig it out and see if she is on there and if she is I'll get back to you. I was born and raised in Morrisdale, PA which is only 2-3 miles from Hawk Run. One of my substitute school teachers was an old lady named Minnie Moffitt. She was quite the character. I don't recall her husband even though we attended the same church. He may have been deceased when I knew her.

Re: Jacob & Ellen Yingling, PA
Jacob's wife was named Martha Ella Richards born 23 Apr 1864. Jacob's father was Levi Yingling born about 1830. I have information Jacob's sons Arthur and Theodore. I have nothing on Mabel Yingling. Is your line on the internet anywhere?

Re: Jacob & Ellen Yingling, PA
tomyingling54 I have all that I know on my family tree. I have invited you to look at it. There are also pictures of the Yinglings of Hawk Run on there with all alive at that time + list of names. How are you related?

Re: Jacob & Ellen Yingling, PA
Tom Yingling, I am really excited about your post. My father was born and raised in Hawk Run. His name was Jack Long and his parents James Long and Hannah Maffit (Moffit). Hannah's father was James D. Moffitt (Maffitt). Some of the sons retained the Moffit names while others went with Maffitt. My main reason for contacting you is the parents of James D. Mottitt, they were Joshua Moffitt and Margaret Yingling. I got this information from James Moffit's death certificate and the first names could be wrong. I have spent years fruitlessly trying to find a relative of Margaret Yingling. Both Joshua and Margaret disappeared in the 1850 census and the 6 and 7 year old children were in the home of a Hockinburyr family. Can anyone get me on the right track?

Re: Jacob & Ellen Yingling, PA
JaGuthrie, You talk about a photo of Hawk Run Yinglings. My father John (Jack) Long and his siblings were born in Hawk Run. His mother was Hannah Maffitt. Her father was James Moffit and her mother Sarah Siegfried. I have been looking for years for James Moffitt (Maffitt) parents Joshua Moffitt and Margaret Yingling. James Moffitt was born in Kylertown, Morris Twp., Clearfield Co. The parents disappeared in the 1850 census and their two children were left in the home of George & Elizabeth Miller. In 1860 they were in the home of John Hockinbury. The children were born in the early 1840s, James sister Elizabeth in 1845. James Maffitt died in Hawk Run in 1908. I would love to see your Yingling tree but I am not subscribed to Ancestry. If my g-grandfather is related I would be happy to share what I know about his descendants. omoore@earthlink.net

Re: Jacob & Ellen Yingling, PA
Mr. Guthrie, I would still like to talk to you regarding Margaret Yingling. My g-grandfather James Moffit (her son) lived in Hawk Run and was a miner in the Morrisdale Mines. I have a brick wall about her husband Joshua(>) Moffitt and whether she remarried under the name of Margaret Yingling. omoore@earthlink.net
