Surnames: Yohe, Weinhold, Sechrist, Shouse
I *think* Abraham was the son of Michael Yohe (1746-1832) who immigrated in 1754, settled in Easton, Northampton Co PA, married Mary Shouse, and in the 1790's took his whole family to Washington Co PA. Michael has a missing son Abraham, for whom extensive searching has found no other candidates; similarly, extensive research has found no other likely candidates for Abraham's father. I have an atDNA match with a descendant of Mary Yohe Sechrist, but there are other shared surnames in our trees so can't be certain the match is through Abraham.

I am pretty sure that Abraham married Catharine Weinhold, daughter of George Weinhold, and they had five daughters (the last, Catherine -- not Mary Katherine -- born in 1724, after Abraham's death and does not show up in his estate papers). Catharine Weinhold Yohe m(2) Henry Sechrist (also his second marriage) and Catharine's daughter Mary married Henry's son Henry Jr. Most Ancestry trees that include Henry Sr. say he married Catharine Weinhold but don't show her first marriage.
