1. Re: New Member on the List [1]
Dear Jack, If you will read the passenger list of the ship "De Bever" (the Beaver), dated 9 May 1661 (see pages 182-183 of Volume 1 of NEW WORLD IMMIGRANTS edited by Michael Tepper), you will note the names of two sisters thereon: Hendrickje Jochems and Geertje Jochems. The "je" ending on both names proves they were females. In the Dutch naming system, they were daughters of a man with the first name of Jochem, a not uncommon first name in the Low Countries. If either of these sisters later marrie
2. New Member on the List [1]
Hi everybody, I would like to introduce myself to everybody interested out there. I just signed up today so I'm not sure how active this group is, or if there is anybody out there. My name is Geoff Yocom, I live in Portland, Oregon and am orginally from Springfield, Illinois. I have been working on my family tree on and off for about a year. I have a lot of information and I believe I have exhausted the resources available to me here in Oregon. I am planning a trip to Illinois this fall to more researc
3. Re: Matthias Yoakum [1]
Dear Jack, The information that Matthias Yoakum first settled in the Tulpehocken region of Pennsylvania comes from narratives by his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I have not found him there under Yoakum (or Yocum, Yocom, Yokem, etc.). Instead, it would appear that he lived there under the name of Matthias or Matthew Young (or that is how others interpreted his name to be). He was definitely of German origins. Records of the First Reformed Church in Lancaster, PA, which began in 1736, show

I just posted some excerpts from the diaries of Moravian missionaries to "Virginia" in 1747-1749. There are passages about Matthias Joachim and his family and "neighborhood". Fascinating stuff! http://incolor.inetnebr.com/gbrown/ Just follow the logical links and enjoy. Gregory Brown
6. Yokum Dollar [1]
Hello, Those of you that believe that the Yokum Dollar is a hoax is wrong, because , as a kid , around 7 or 8 years old, i have seen the dollar, and wanted it. There were ten of them made, and they were given to family members, and "Red" Oscar Manning Yokum had one of them. My grandfathers sister, Annie Yokum had married "Red", and at the time they lived in Ringling, Oklahoma, Jefferson Co. "Red". also had a half of a gold bar, that he had melted down into the bar, and gave my grandfather half of
7. Yocum/Brush connection in Ky=In=Mo=Tx [1]
Hi Geoff, You have done a great job on your Yocom's. I am stuck in Ky. My Brush family married Yocums and lived in Montgomery Co. Ky. in early 1800's Some went to Indiana and some to Mo. I think that is the ones that went to Oregon. My Brushes came to Hill Co.Texas and brought a few Yocums with them. This list has been a great help to me, but the Yocums are a hard bunch to trace. There are some good web sites but I haven't tied into them yet ether. Virginia Brown Fort Worth, Tx ________________________

An antique's book owned by my mother actually shows a picture of a "Yocum Dollar," but it is a paper dollar minted around 1865. I don't know the name of the book, and I've never seen one of the dollars in person. I have heard that there are only 8-10 of the dollars in existence. I would like to know if anyone else has

10. Re: "The Yocum Silver Dollar" [1]
We were told that finding a silver mine near Branson was almost impossible, as the geography was not right for silver to be found in this area. The silver dollars were real, but I assume that they came from somewhere else. Legend has it that the mine could have been viewed from the church in Silver Dollar City, but that it was under Table Rock Lake today. We were never quite sure where Yocum Pond was. Some people told us that it was across the highway and about 1/2 mile east from the Yocum Pond church, b
11. Find a grave! [1]
This came up on my e-mail. It allows you to add a grave to any cemetery in the USA . It is a fantastic idea for all of us who know where are loved ones are buried to add them. If the cemetery is not listed you can add it too. I found two cemeteries with no one listed. I have added what names I know by looking at the memory cards we get at funerals, I have also taken pictures of gravestones which have the names and dates. What an addition to our genealogy search.
12. YOCUM, John married to Margaret [1]
Believe that John Yocum/Yocom, married to Margaret is the father of George Thomas Yocom. Found an interview,author unknown, with John Riley Yocom(s/o George Thomas). John Riley makes reference to his grandfather John Yocom. Interview describes early life in SpringHill Township,Hempstead Co.,AR John c.1799 Margaret b. Apr. 1818 George Thomas also listed as George F. on some records. Thanks in advance for any info. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Priva
13. Re: New Member on the List [1]
This is the first time I have heard that Heinrich does not "exist"! Please consult the article by the Holland Society Yearbook, which mentions Heinrich Jochems as an arrivee on the ship Der Bever. It is one thing to say that Heinrich is not our ancestor; it is quite another to say that there is no documentation of his existence. If Peter Craig can refute the information in the Holland Society Yearbook article, I invite him to present it. To be fair, there are some important gaps in the supposed line fro
14. Re: New Member on the List [1]
Dear Geoff: Your pedigree errs in the first three generations: The first three entries (Heinrich through Francis) did not exist. They were created by the fertile imagination of Dr. Smith and his correspondents. Your immigrant ancestor was Matthias Yoakum, who immigrated to Pennsylvania in the 1730s with his first wife (name unknown) and two sons, Valentine (Felty) and Philip Paul. His first wife died and he remarried Eleanor (her surname is unknown; it was not Zeh or See) Your Jacob, who married E
15. "The Yocum Silver Dollar" [1]
I found this article in a "True West Magazine" dated November-December 1962. Highlights are: Jim Yocum arrived 1800-became friendly with the Choctaw Indians-took and Indian girl for his wife-the name began as Yoachum-then shortened to Yocum-There were three brothers-jim,Solomon-Jim-James and Soloman returned to Illinois-Yocum Silver Dollar circulated in the Ozarks-The silver mine was destroyed with Jim and his Indian Wife inside and for many years lay undisturbed. In 1962 it was rediscovered and opened for

With permission from Sara Patton (Sarap@widowmaker.com) I am posting this note so those of you who may be wondering why we have not heard from her lately will know what is going on. Sara's note read: "I've been out of touch for over a month due to travel and a major computer crash--had to buy new computer so it will take me some time to get back into swing of things. I'm now facing over 600 e-mail from people who think I died! and no address book!"

19. Thank You [1]
Dear Dr. Craig, If you or others have discussed this problem with interpreting the names from De Bever, I must have missed it. Thank you for clarifying for me why "Heindrick" was an imaginary ancestor for the Yokum line. I take it that we don't have much information about Mathias Yokum then in Pennsylvania either. Do we have any basic biographical dates or places for him in Pennsylvania before the move to Virginia? Can we assume that he is German, not Swedish? or Dutch? Greg

24. Re: "The Yocum Silver Dollar" [1]
The story of the silver mine is interesting but highly unlikely. The people at Silver Dollar City near Branson, MO can give you a book which tells you about this tale. We received copies of this last year, during our Yocum family reunion at Branson. We also visited Yocum pond and the Yocum Cemetery (which doesn't have any Yocums buried there!).
