m. William Lenox 10 Dec 1846 in Polk Co., MO I know that John Yoast came from Madison Co., Tennessee just before he
received a land Patent in Polk Co., MO in 1843. I believe this is where
his children were born. Perhaps where he and Elizabeth where married. I
have just found this lately and haven't had a chance to research what is in
this county yet. I also have a will for John Yoast dated
20 Aug 1858.
This is probably more info than what you wanted but, if you come across
anything on the Yoast that I can use, please pass it on.
