Surnames: Yoast, King
I am working on my husband's family. His gggrandmother, Celia Melvina Yoast was the dau. of George Carmichael Yoast and Barbara Ann Yoast. George's father was Andrew J. and Barbara's father was John (brothers) So, George and Barbara were first cousins. I can go back to Francis, father of Andrew and John, but no further. George and Barbara both died in Polk Co., MO. Celia was married to Moses Ransom King and she died in Howard Co. MO. Not much info on her husband. I have only "Barbara" for Francis' wife.

We have traced our ancestry back to John and Francis also.
I did receive a letter from another descendent who said a
family story she had heard from her parent was that Francis
lived in that area between France and Germany. It was constantly being over run by the 'other' country who made
the citizens pay taxes etc to them - and with that country's
money. He became enraged at the unfairness of this and came
to America with 16 coins of the last ruling country, even
tho they were of no value. Maybe that will help you focus
on an (much too wide) area.
