I am searching for Margaret Yoakley, who married Charles Hilton (Helton) in Sullivan Co, TN in the early 1800s. LDS has her DOB as about 1777. Children attributed to Margaret and Charles are John b. @1801, Joseph, George, and James Andrew b. 1813. She may be related to the Peter Yoakley of Sullivan Co. who was born 1782, but I haven't been able to make the connection. I would appreciate any information.

I am researching my tree and came across this old post. My great grandmother was Margaret Ellen Yoakley, and lived in Sullivan Tennessee. She was born in 1851.

Given the location and the rarity of the name Yoakley, I have to suspect they were related.

I find also in my tree a Margaret H Yoakley, who was born in 1824 and died in 1887. Father was John Yoakley and mother was Hannah Cross.

I would be interested if you have any more information on the Yoakleys.

Margaret is one of my brick walls, and I have made virtually no progress on her. I've seen Margaret listed as d/o Peter Yoakley, but then I've seen other lists of his children that do not name her. I recently bought the Sullivan Co. deeds books (abstracts) 2-8 and 11 and plan to go through them to see if I can find Helton/Hilton and Yoakley associated anywhere there. If I find anything linking Cross and Yoakley, I'll post it here.
