Yoakams from Ohio to Oregon
I have been trying to build my Yoakam roots and have stopped in Ohio. With a John Yoakam. Born about 11/1820 in Knox County OH. came to Oregon about 1851. Settled in Coos Bay Wife was Eliza Davis from Berks Co. PA.

I to am searching for my Yoakam family. I know that my grandmother is Daisy Mae Yoakam, b 12-29-82 Licking Co, Homer, Ohio d 9-29-50 same. She is the daughter to Curtis Yoakam and Emma Jane Bowers. Could this be part of your family?

The only Yoakam I can document from Ohio at this time is John, his children and his wife.Until they come to Oregon I know very little. I will share that which I have for those interested.
|
Thanks for the response. Could you tell me the dates of your Yoakam relatives? I believe they mine came from W. Virginia and Virginia. I just started to research this side of the family. My other side is the Benge side. So much history on them already done. I still have an aunt alive in Ohio that may know more. I hope to see her this summer. I look forward to hearing from you again.

Anne,
I too am looking for my Yoakam family. I know they are still in Southern Ohio. Licking and Knox counties. My grandmother was Daisy May Yoakam, her father Curtis Yoakam, and that's as far as I have gotten. Perhaps you can share some dates. Thank you.

Anne, I am researching the famil Whirl (Whorrel). I discovered on this web site that Mary E.Yoakam married William Thomas Yoakam in Allen County, OH on Nov. 17, 1869. If by chance, you have learned anything about the Whirls in your research, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Barb
|
Randal, in your research, have you found any information on Mary E. Whirl who married Wm. Thomas Yoakam in Allen Co.on Nov. 17.1869? Barb
|
Sorry I have not found that name.
|
Okay, thank you very much for responding. If you think you are related to William Thomas Yoakam 1845-1938 (long life!), let me know and I will forward any information I might learn while researching the Whirls. Barb
