Dedication

Whether we wish to admit it or not, we are the future of our ancestors, as our

descendants are our future. We owe our descendants our dreams and bequeath to them the

legacy of our collective accomplishments – nothing more and nothing less. To our

descendants, we charge you with the honoring of your heritage. Your ancestors were hardy

folk, god-fearing and plain spoken, and who recognized that nothing was due them except

that which they themselves earned. They were not ashamed to profess their belief in God,

their country and the American ideal. Of course, there were a few rapscallions in our

collective history, but neither more nor less than in any other family.

We too easily forget what it took to forge a life in a new world, one rife with peril and

with little at hand but a steadfast determination to not only survive but to thrive. Our

ancestors bequeathed us with their genes, aspirations and talents. It is therefore fitting that

the Blandford Series of Yarbrough Family Records be dedicated to them for making it

possible for us to be who we are.

To paraphrase Robert Kincaid1, “The dreams they had were good ones. They didn’t

all come true, but they were worth having, all the same.”

Acknowledgement

The Yarbrough Association is greatly indebted to the vision and efforts of Cathy Y.

Walker and William A. (Bill) Yarbrough, the late president and vice-president of the

YNGHA, respectively, for beginning the project to digitize the 150+ volumes of records

accumulated over the life of the Association. Fulfilment of the project was through the

efforts of a number of officers and members, including Bill’s son Mark, Rachel and Don

Yarbrough, Hal Yarbrough, Jan and Jim Yarbrough, Ann and Al Bush, Elaine and Lyle

Wolf, Joan Y. Singlaub, and Joanne and Bill Augspurger.

It was my privilege to be a part of this dedicated team.

Preface

These records are the legacy of our Yarbrough family researchers, to whom much is owed. The

known family researchers include Jean Baker, Ann Y. Broadbent, Mary Y. Daniel, Frances (Rea)

Donohue, Betty Humrighouse, Pauline Gray, Evelyn Goble, Nelle Morris Jenkins, Ophelia Kessler,

Frances Lockwood, Karen Mazock Renee Smelley, Dorothy Svec, Jeanette Wilson, Cleveland “Cy”

Yarborough, Edna Yarbrough, George A. Yarbrough, and Robert Price Yarbrough.

The originals of these volumes are being kept for the benefit of future generations by the

Williamson County Library, Franklin, Tennessee.

No claims of accuracy or authentication of the material herein are made or may be assumed.

Many of these records have been superseded by subsequent research. Hence, there are records

which are erroneous and unreliable; it would have been a Herculean task to attempt to correct all

of them. Fortunately, there are only a few critical genealogical facts that are involved, and which

are correctly stated here:

Richard (the Immigrant) Yarborough was never married to Frances Proctor;

Ambrose Yarbrough did not immigrant from Yorkshire; he is now believed to be a

descendant of Richard the Immigrant;

There are so far only two proven sons of Old Richard – John and Richard II;

There is so far no evidence proving Joshua Yarborough I to be a descendant of Old

Richard.

The “Old Country” referred to in old documents and letters is the Colony of Virginia,

not England or the Old World.

There were not seven brothers who immigrated from “the old country”; in fact, it now

appears there were three brothers and four sons of the brothers. Which were the

fathers and which were the sons are so far unknown.

In spite of these inaccuracies, these records comprise much of our history and some of our

accomplishments. There are pages whose print quality is so poor that word recognition was not

possible. In spite of that, at least partial capability for searching these volumes is provided, as well

as an index to each volume. Nonetheless, the viewer is cautioned to perform his/her own due

diligence in connection with any use of this material.

The various spellings of the Yarbrough surname have never been applied consistently, even

within a given family. To the extent possible, the names in the index reflect the names used on the

source pages; where it wasn’t clear as to which might be the proper spelling, the spelling used is

“Yarbrough”.

The material contained herein is subject to the copyright laws of the United States. Material may

be freely used by Yarbrough family researchers so long as proper attribution to the Yarbrough

National Genealogical & Historical Association, Inc. is given. This material, in whole or in part,

may not be used for any other purposes without the express written permission of the Yarbrough

National Genealogical & Historical Association.

We welcome the submission of any Yarbrough family information that can be added to our

growing data base. More information about the extended Yarbrough families can be found at our

website, http://www.yarbroughfamiy.org. If you are a Yarbrough or a member of one of our allied

families, we invite you to join our family association.

In 1706 York and Hampton Parishes were combined into Y orkham pton Parish, with wl1ich Martin's Hundred Parish, in James City County, was united in 1712.

The Colony was growing and the population was pressing northward and northwestward, and settlements were being estab­lished on the north side of the York River. From York County came first Gloucester County in 165!, in which county we find Abingdon, Petsworth, Ware, and Kingston Parishes. The latter parish was to become the parish in Mathews County in 1791.

In the same year the northern part of York CourHy was taken to form the southern portion of Lancaster County along the south side of the Rappahannock River.

I li.kewie~e give and devise to my said son, John .A~ylett and to his ·heirs and assigns forever seven hu.ndrecl acres of land out of the tract aforemen­tioned, which formerly belonged to Edmund Jennings., Es:q., to be laid off contiguous beginning at the upper end of the seven hundred acres given my son P:hilip and running upwards taken the whole breadth 'til it includes ttle said quantity of seven hundred ac::res.

T.he names o.f the landowners mentioned in this will are the j'riends, neighbors and some of those to which the children of 'WL'Cha.:rd Yarborough, immigrant, were married. From Glo·ucestE~r Co., Va. records we .find that Richard Yar­borough owned land in King William Co Nov. 1691; Richard conveyed by dE~ed Feb. 12, 1695, in King William Co., to John Yar·borough, eon of Richard. May 30, 1704, John Yar­borough stold ~~00 A. of land in King William Co. to William Aylett. · The deed was recorded in King William Co. and signed by Jolu1 Yarborough and wife, Abagail.

John Yarborough married Feb., 1695 to Abagail \ffii te­head, daughter of Philip Whitehead of Gloucester Co., Va. In GlouCE! s ter Co • , Va. - ._April· 4, 1703, Philip Whitehead gave to Hicha.rd Yarborough, through his Will, 200 A. of land, patented by Philip Whitehead of Gloucester Co. Those who witnessed the will were John -Yarborough, Richard Yarborough and Abagail Yarborough.

Arwther landowner of the area was the ~okenborough .family, ei.S onE~ of the Aylett sons married a Broken borough. This na.met is also found used as a given name of a Yarbor­ough in later years.

These records concern Richard Yarborough, son of the earlier FtichaJ:-d Yarborough• As the records of the court case listed while this area was yet i~ Old-New Kent County, Va. From thi£3 case we lmow that Richard Yarborough and Benjamin Arnold were neighbors in 1690.

Christian Yarblow is shown among the arrivals in Virginia in 165;; sponsored by Thomas Willis. Some researchers (Nelle'Morris Je:nkins) have stated this Christian Yarblow was the same aE: Richard II and was so called to distinguish him from his Father,, Richard I. I believe this not to be so as I feel Richard Yarborough I would have sponsored his own son if it were so •.

Alabama - probably the foremost authority on the Yarborough Family in America since 1930) another immigrant ancestor of the ~amily was Ambrose Yarbrough who left England in 1732.

Following will be some brief history of these early immigrants: \

YARBOROUGH

While researching the different families, I always found the material more interesting if there were-some description of the people and how and where they lived. Occasionally a gentleman kept a diary or "Day Book," but we of the Yarborough family have no such record of our very early immigrant ancestors. Our records are dependent on the deeds o~f property and wills, and once in a while, a court record., There are times when the will of a man other than a family member :can cast some light on the loca­tion and neighbors of our kin, and can also tell us at what date the family member sold his land and moved on to a new location. It is from the wills and records of Old New Kent County, Virginia, that we find records o:f our forefather, Rie:hard, and some of his children.

In 1691 New Kent Co., Va. was divided to make King and Queen Go., and on April 11, 1702, King William Co. was created fro.m·King and Queen Co., the dividing line being the Jl1attapony River. In 1704 there were 216 land­owners in King William Co, The linea of division between St. John's Parish and St. David's Parish is the same that were drawn to s1eparate st. Margaret's and st. John • s at the time Oj~ 1 ts creation, beginning at Arnold' a and ·Yar­boroUghta- l~erry below Ayletts and running across the County to the mouth o:f Monr.llen Creek. There were a num­ber of large land grants in the upper portion o:f King William Co. which lay within St. David's .Parish. These tracts have beer1 located with some success, despite the loss o:f many Cotmty records. These large tracts o:f land lay along the ~s~unkey'River and along the Mattapony River.

Beginning at Parnpetike, plantation o:f Francis Page, granted 1701, 1,000 A.

The same year he was granted 200 A. on Deep Bottom Run and Pamunkey Nee}(~ and Col. Jennings was again granted 3,490 A. in 1703, and again in 1704, another grant adjourning his previously owned land, 1,900 A.

Col. Jennings' large tract of land covered an area of nearly ten square miles, one of the' largest tracts in the county oj: King William. It is not lmown when Col. Jennings disposed of all o.f this land, but when he died in 1727, his estate was sold by his executors. There is only one deed in the old records of King William which shows that a small tract of~land purchased by John Yarborough was later purchased by Co. William Aylett and became a part of' the Aylett Plantation "Fairf'ield-. 11 The origin of the Aylett family has-not been estatlished by records, but Col. Aylett was the i'irs t clerk oi' King William Coun "by and a land owner be!.fore the county was f'ormed. He was appointed the first clerk in 1702 and served until his death. (Will o:f William Aylett made No. 18, 1730 - probated, Mar. 17, 17-,3). It ia. certain that he purchased his land, for the earlier la.ndo·wners are named in his will:
