Notes

From the Draper Manuscripts, Wisconsin State Historical Society: [The "old Matthias" referred to here is Matthias, Jr.] p. 48/36 "Old MATTHIAS YOCUM's f[ather] had 12 sons. Felty, Coonrod, Philip Powell, Matthias, John (youngest; died here by Esqr: Crook's; was a Pbyn: [Presbyterian?] He lived on Roanoke, in Va. Had a 2d w[wife] and raised 12 sons & 4 daus: Every one of them when I knew them, had farms: but Felty: who was killed, while they lived on Roanoke, then the indn: frontier, in Va. The indns: killed him & all the children (in thr. own house) but 2: She got away: but went back that night & laid in her husband's bosom, all in a gore of blood.

The old people came out with Matthias. The Yoacums were clever neighbours: great for log rolling: but quarrelsome among themselves." (http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/YOCUM/2003-02/1044739101)
