Ok, this is the info that I have found out on John Yoak (abt 1770-abt1842)
I can't verify anything beyond that, nor can anyone else I've corresponded
>>with who is working on the line, but we are reasonably sure that the name
>>is derived from the German "Joch." Johan George Joch arrived in the US from
>>the port of Rotterdam on 11 November 1752. Listed by the ship's clerk as
>>John George Yoak, he later used the name George Yoke when he took the oath
>>to the crown in 1759. He had at least one son, Phillip, who was living in
>>Pennsylvania with three sons under the age of 16 in 1790. Three
>>brothers-John, Elias and Solomon Yoak-living in Virginia by the early 1800s
>>are believed to be these sons of Phillip.

John Wesley Yoak (1924-1972), son of

>>Isaac Yoak (1829-1908), son of
