I also have a picture with Yeagers that I cannot identify.
On the back it says, "The Yeager Family." I know one person is Charles F. Yeager and that it was taken in Toledo, Ohio at 139 Earl Street. That home belonged to Rev. Leroy Warren and his wife, Mary (Miller). Charles F. Yeager married Carrie M. Warren, daughter of Leroy and Mary. I will post this picture after I get a better copy made.

Dorian_Yeager — 2009-09-13 14:40:31Z

May I recommend the book "Rock Creek Crossings" by Anne Fitzgerald, published in 1991. It has many many pictures of the Yeagers going back to George W. I tcan be ordered at Alibris.com

Best luck. I believe I can be of help with identification. I had to wrestle the family album away from the family compound in NH. My grandmother was a nut about identifying.

cmorris575 — 2009-09-13 14:39:36Z

If there is a male descendant of John B, Yeager available, a DNA test via the Germanna DNA Project could tell if there is a connection to the Germanna Colonies. I am the group administrator for the Germanna DNA Project and a Yeager descendant. We have two Nicholas Jager (1717) descendants already tested to compare to.

If you have someone that is willing to be tested, go to www.Germanna.org and click on the DNA Project link and order a test. I a month you will know if there is a connection to the Germanna Colonies. I recommend the 25 or 37 Marker test. When the results come back, contact the Group Administrator to find out what the results show.

Sincerely yours,
Corlee Morris

Ok, Dorian, if I had read this message first I would have known which sibling is your ancestor! sorry.

How do I find the "Dorian Yeager Family Tree" ?

I have a (jpeg scan of a) photo of an unidentified YEAGER man, large in stature, taken at a photographer's in Emporia, KS (just one county over from your George's Chase co. KS)... any chance you could help me confirm/deny the identity of this man in the photo as your George? contact me if you'd like me to e-mail the jpeg to you. I got this from a whole scrapbook of YEAGER photos in posession of a cousin of mine, but alas -- most were not identified / written on.

I am decended through John's son George W. and have hit a brick wall regarding John B's parentage. If you could help I would be much relieved. Please feel free to view my research on "Dorian Yeager Family Tree" Thanks for whatever help you may have.

KarenBreach — 2009-09-13 14:37:25Z

Dorian,
While I still have no concrete leads on John B. YEAGER's ancestry, I do have a few photos of some of his kids. From which child do you descend?

I have gathered quite a bit of biographical information on our John B. YEAGER over the years, too ... contact me! kbreach at pinenet dot com (preferred address) or kbreach@juno.com.

I see your last name is YEAGER... have any of the male YEAGERs in your family done the DNA testing for the YEAGER surname? Such testing could be the answer to our longstanding (and incredibly thick) brick wall!

Re: John B. YEAGER

Dorian_Yeager — 2009-09-13 14:36:57Z

John B. was my great-great-great grandfather. After the death of his wife Eliza (Elizabeth A.) Juvenall, he relocated to Iowa and married Amanda Perrin in 1850. Starting in 1851 the first of their three children was born. In order: Chester, Cyrus and Martha or Mary Eliza. He was betwitxt and between Indiana and Iowa a few times and frankly I get VERY confused. Best luck. If you ever come across any information on John B's parents, I would really appreciate it. I have lots of information giving his birth as 1805 as well as 1794. Go figure.

George W. and Ann Yeager moved to Bazaar Kansas in 1858 from Iowa. Children of John B. Yeager of Virginia (b. 1805 or 1794) and Eliza (Elizabeth A.) Juvenall married 1827. Hope this helps.

George W. Yeager b. 1848 PA

2009-06-06 13:46:52Z

I am seeking any information about George W. Yeager who was born in PA on March 17, 1848. He married Lovina Noll and had at least four children: Howard, Charles, Sylvester and Tessa. I have information that leads me to believe that his father's name was John and his mother's name was possibly Sarah. I believe that most of the children (Howard and Charles) moved to Ohio sometime in the late 1800's. I am directly related to Sylvester Yeager, who died in Berks County in 1934. Any matches and information you can share is appreciated! Thank you.

DeborahWeeks48 — 2009-06-06 13:47:27Z

Hi, I don't know if this is the same family of Yeagers, but here's my information. My relative is Sarah Mahaffey who married John Yeager. I believe she was the stepmother to all his children: Edward, John, Sarah and George W. George was the youngest and shows in the 1860 census as "7". Sarah and John were married sometime after 1850 and he must have died before 1862. Does this sound right for you?

John & Barbara Yeager

robert_kilroy — 2009-05-22 20:56:40Z

Am looking for any information on a John and Barbara Yeager. I assume they were born circa 1840. They had a son named Louis in 1866/67 while they lived in New York. They were from Bohemia.

Re: Lewis/Louis Yeager b. 1867 NY m. Mary (unknown) in Boston

I am related to a Mary Kadlec, [5/1861 - 10/39] a Bohemian immmigrant) who married a Louis Yeager [1866 - 1941](cigar maker from NY of Bohemian parents. They married in 1893 Boston after the birth of their second son. I have quite a bit of info on Mary and her family.

Let me know if we're related.

Louis/Lewis Yeager, Lived in Boston

robert_kilroy — 2009-07-03 15:28:37Z

Looking for information on a Louis/Lewis Yeager (1867 - 1941) who lived in Boston. He was born in New York of Bohemian parents (John & Bartbara). He was a cigar maker, who owned his own shop. Lewis married a Mary Kadlec from Bohemia in 1893. They had seven children.

Jerome B. Yeager

wzimmerman12 — 2009-06-19 21:32:44Z

I am seeking information on the family of Jerome B. Yeager. He was born in June, 1846, I think the son of Henry H. and Mary Yeager, with siblings Angelichor, William, John, Seldon, Martha, and Emma. He married my cousin Harriet E. Dalrymple in 1873 in Wisconsin. I find Jerome and Harriet in the 1880 census living in Madison, PA. (By the way, they are living very close to Henry Gaige who married Harriet's sister Mary, also in Wisconsin.) By 1900 (OH! to have the 1890 census!) Harriet is gone, and I find Jerome still in Madison, PA, but with a different wife, Jennie. Jerome and Jennie then appear in the 1910 census in PA. By 1920 Jennie is gone, and Jerome is married to Anne, and they are still there in 1930. I'm trying to find out what happened to Harriet and if Jerome and Harriet had any children.

Re: Thomas Benton Yager or Yeager

minismith — 2009-07-25 16:37:15Z

I believe this to be the Thomas Benton Yager listed as 10 years old living in Piqua, Ohio, in 1850. He was living in the household of George Yager who was born around 1794 in Pennsylvania. Wapakaneta was NOT the enlistment location for Miami county, but was for Auglaize county. A Thomas Yager is listed in the household of Theodore Yager of Auglaize in 1860. I believe Theodore to be the older brother of Thomas. Their father died in 1854 in Piqua.
