Peter,

Hi!! As you know this the line of my research. Did I send you my George
YOAKUM biography. There is now definite proof that the wife of George
YOAKUM, I., was Martha VAN BEBBER, daughter of Isaac VAN BIBBER, I., and
Sarah DAVIS. It appears that Margaret YOAKUM was actually Margaret SEE, the
mother of George YOAKUM and wife of Valentine "Felty" YOAKUM. That's not
concrete on Margaret concerning her being the mother of George, but the
evidence is very strong to me and I'm leaning to that conclusion. Is that
Margaret SEE/YOAKUM buried beside George? It is very possible, but I don't
know if we will ever find the document that says so? What do you think?
