Descendants of Jacob Yoho - 2 JAN 1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FIRST GENERATION 1. Jacob Yoho was born on 8 JUL 1765 in Beaver Co, PA. He died on 24 AUG 1851 in Guernsey Co, OH. He was buried in Yoho Cem, Batesville, Independence Co, OH. Merged General Note: Problem: Jacob Yoho is in the Ancestral File more than once, JGFG-70, JGGV-ZJ. It is reported that he served in the Revolutionary War and that a pension claim was denied. Problem: It has not been proved that Jacob Yoho is the son of Johannes Yoho. Denver Clayton Yoho wrote: Family tradition for Jacob Yoho, b. 1765, is that he brought his family from Vinton Co., PA (probably Vintondale Boro of Cambria Co., PA. Note per Clarice V. Stanley: As we have never found a Vinton Co., PA) in a covered wagon to Fort Henry, then went to Noble Co., OH (now Guernsey Co., OH) where he settled on Wills Creek about 1808. Jacob died in Guernsey Co., OH. (22 Apr 1988). The Indian Wars By Denver Yoho April 1995. We have records of at least four, and possibly five, Yoho ancestors who served as soldiers during the Indian Wars and the American Revolution, including George Yoho, Peter Yoho, John Yoho, Henry Yoho and Jacob Yoho. These five men are believed to be five of the sons of Johannas Yoho (born 1712 and died circa 1795) and Susanne Catherine (Lau) Yoho (born circa 1714). Following is information and records evidencing my conclusions relating to the service of these men in the Indian Wars. Jacob Yoho was born on July 8, 1765, in Pennsylvania and died on August 24, 1851, in Guernsey County, Ohio. Jacob also took part in the Indian Wars and made a request for a pension. He enlisted at West Liberty, Virginia (West Virginia) and served five years under Captain McMahon and John McCulloch, was honorably discharged at Dillys Ferry, Ohio (now known as Grave Creek), and appeared on the muster roll of said company. Jacob's pension request was denied on the grounds that neither his name, nor the names of the officers mentioned, could be found on the army rolls. He made his request on November 11, 1850, at the age of eighty-six, when he was a resident of Guernsey County, Ohio. He stated that he was a soldier in the company of a Captain McMahon in the regiment commanded by Benjamin Biggs. His pension rejection does not necessarily mean that Jacob Yoho did not serve, due to the fact that by the time the pension legislation was passed many years had elapsed since the wars and many of the men who had served were well advanced in age, making proof of service difficult to ascertain. (Source: The Yoho Newsletter, April 1995, Vol. 4, No. 1). James Robert Yoho wrote: Jacob Yoho, Sr. was one of the first settlers in the new state of Ohio. He settled on the forks of Beaver and Wills Creeks, that is to say, where they joined, Section 8, Range 8, Twp. 8. He purchased 160 acres of government land and built a log cabin, in 1805, that was still standing in 1887. The brick chimney remained standing long after the house was torn down. He also built a long barn in 1805. (See Noble County History by Watkins - 1887) Land records in Guernsey Co., OH reveal that Jacob Yoho obtained a land grant there in 1811, Vol. B, p. 169. There is also a Jacob Yoho on the 1810 Ohio Co., VA census. Jacob Yoho removed from Pennsylvania to Wills Creek, Noble Co., OH. Later, about 1805, he moved to Guernsey Co., OH.

Justice of the Peace for County aforesaid [Note: Hugh L. Yoho writes: This claim was rejected on the grounds that the name of Jacob Yoho and the names of the officers mentioned could not be found on the Army rolls.] A Lost Township. It is generally known that there are several lost towns in Guernsey County -- that is, towns that were plotted and developed for a time, then permitted to decline and pass out entirely. Their ambitious founders, no doubt, had visions of thriving villages or cities. This is shown by their plottings, in some of which ground was set apart for such public improvements as might be found in the larger municipalities of their day. Where some of these towns were, nothing now remains but the names. Back of the passing of each of them there has been a cause that may not have been foreseen by its founder. That Guernsey county has lost a township is not generally known. It was one of the last to be formed. On December 9, 1847, the county commissioners adopted a resolution ordering a new township to be set apart in Guernsey county, to be composed of parts of Richland and Seneca townships. This was before Noble county was organized and the latter township was in Guernsey county. Township Described. -- The boundaries of the new subdivision, as determined by the commissioners, were as follows: "Commencing at southwest corner of John Thompson's; thence north to the northwest corner of Jacob Thomas' land adjoining the Wills township line; thence east to the northeast corner of William St. Clair's land, to the Millwood township line; then south to the southeast corner of Jacob Yoho's land in Seneca township; thence due west to place of beginning." It might require an interpretation in terms of land ownership of the present day to understand this description. However, as a general description, the new township included land now a part of Richland and Millwood townships in Guernsey county and Wayne township in Noble county.

Yoho/Watson Connection. Roy E. Wilson wrote 11 Feb 1979 to James Robert Yoho: I am having trouble with the Yohos and Watsons. At our Wilson reunion in 1931 an Elizabeth Yoho attended. From my notes made later, here is what she told me. "I am a Watson who married Peter Yoho, son of Jacob Yoho Jr. and Rachel Watson. Jacob and Rachel sold their half interest in the 160 acres they owned jointly with Isaac B. Wilson and Sintha Watson (his wife) around 1845 to them and bought acreage about a mile north of Mt. Ephraim, [OH]. The road forks where they bought, one fork follows down Parson Creek, north to Senecaville. The other fork, now known as State Route 147, goes northeast over a big hill to Seneca Lake and on to Batesville, then to Barnesville. After Jacob and Rachel's deaths, Peter Yoho and Elizabeth, his wife, took over." Three of the daughters of Jacob and Rachel never married: Rebecca, Sintha, and Katherine. They lived together on part of a tract on Route 147. The old homestead of their parents was on Senecaville Road. Elizabeth (Watson) Yoho stated that she and Peter had a son, John Yoho, who lived next to his three old maid aunts. Back of the old maid's tract, on a big hill, is a cemetery known as Casner Cemetery. It is here that William Wilson and his wife, Sarah Friend are buried. (Source: Roy E.

Yoho/Watson Connection . Roy E. Wilson wrote 11 Feb 1979 to James Robert Yoho: I am having trouble with the Yohos and Watsons. At our Wilson reunion in 1931 an Elizabeth Yoho attended. From my notes made later, here is what she told me. "I am a Watson who married Peter Yoho, son of Jacob Yoho Jr. and Rachel Watson. Jacob and Rachel sold their half interest in the 160 acres they owned jointly with Isaac B. Wilson and Sintha Watson (his wife) around 1845 to them and bought acreage about a mile north of Mt. Ephraim, [OH]. The road forks where they bought, one fork follows down Parson Creek, north to Senecaville. The other fork, now known as State Route 147, goes northeast over a big hill to Seneca Lake and on to Batesville, then to Barnesville. After Jacob and Rachel's deaths, Peter Yoho and Elizabeth, his wife, took over." Three of the daughters of Jacob and Rachel never married: Rebecca, Sintha, and Katherine. They lived together on part of a tract on Route 147. The old homestead of their parents was on Senecaville Road. Elizabeth (Watson) Yoho stated that she and Peter had a son, John Yoho, who lived next to his three old maid aunts. Back of the old maid's tract, on a big hill, is a cemetery known as Casner Cemetery. It is here that William Wilson and his wife, Sarah Friend are buried. (Source: Roy E.
