We are trying to find additional family information for Isaac YOST, a stone
mason, who died in 1826 or 1827 in Monroe Township. He first appeared in the
1820 Census, was apparently born in PA and left a widow and ten children. An
Alex Jameson was appointed guardian and the following heirs were noted in the
probate data:
Rhoda Yost, widow (heir and admin.), Thomas Yost (heir and admin.), Charles
Yost, Jesse Yost, Nathan Yost, Caroline Yost, Mary Yost, Ann Yost, Catherine
Yost, John Yost and Isaac Yost. (We are descended from young Isaac)
The "Indiana Marriages" data on the Internet tells us that his children
married into the following families:
ASHLEY, STATON, HOLCOMB, HUBBARD, STATEN, ECCLES, SHOOK and JACKSON. The last
two were in Ripley County and the balance in Jefferson County. We have no
other details.
We are specifically interested in Isaac's birth data, siblings, parents,
place of burial in Jefferson County and anything that can be found about his
widow, Rhoda.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
