Francis Yoakum

i. Francis1. Born abt 1729 in Frederick, VA. Francis died in Frederick, VA in 1751, he was 22.

Notes

• One of Dr. Smith' many unproven assumptions was that Francis Yoakum who died 13 August 1751 in Frederick Co (Will Bk1:480) was the FATHER of Matthias Yoakum. Original Frederick Co records present ABSOLUTE PROOF that Francis was the SON of Matthias Yoakum and that he died in 1751, NOT in 1780 as found in some family lists.

Frederick Co, VA Will Bk 1:481 Aug 13, 1751 "Know all men by these presents that we Matthias Yoakham, John Varvel and Michael Harness are held and firmly bound unto Morgan Morgan Gent first Justice...in the sum of one hundred bounds Currt money....we bind our selves...on this 13 day of August 1751....(2) Links
