For these folk, either their connections back to an early immigrant groups is not known, or they represent a latter immigration. Each Alpha prefix represents a distinct family. When a gap appears in lettering, this generally means a link has been established into one of the major lines, and the family information has been shifted to that major line. (NOTE applying to the Yater/Yeater families shown at S,T, and U: There is no known connection between the YATER or YEATER family which may be of German origin rather than Swiss and The Yoder or Yotter line. Three of the prime Yeater/Yater family lines (though not all), are shown. Another name which is sometimes considered similar to Yoder is "Yetter". We have not traced this name here as it seems clearly to be from a separate Germanic origin... the Yeater family does appear likely to connect with it. (This issue has been updated to include the addition of reference information on each family group) ----CKY-Oct.1995 ********************************************************************** A- John Yotter b. c1795 m. 12/11/1825 Elizabeth (Sarah) Shick both shown as of Bethlehem Twp.by Rev.

Must be a son or grandson. Anyway- here's all it says; About 1820, Daniel Yothers removed from York County, and settled in Boggs township, upon the Snow Shoe Pike, where William Smoyer lives. There he followed the pursuits of farming and blacksmithing until his death in 1849. Of his seven children two are living-Daniel in Indiana, and Benjamin in Illinois.

I guess you could call it the homestead since John settled it in the early 1860's. The information about Julia Ann Turner, Daniel Yothers wife, was gotten from 2 sources. She was also listed in the Bible but her family line has it's history recorded in the Centre County history section in the library.

John Brindle - - - - - - - - - - - These are tax lists for North Middleton Township and I’m fairly certain they are 1871 and 1872. I need to go to CCHS and double check soon. It’s in my notes but they have become separated from the copies. : Anyway, here goes: Hezekiah Yoter, freeholder, farmer, had 193 acres of slate land, a log house and a frame barn, valued at $14 per acre; gross actual value $1472. I believe that is for 1872. 3 horses valued at $120, 4 cattle & paid county & state tax of $15.15. He had a pleasure carriage valued at $20. Since the list is alpha order, on the same page are these freemen: Yoter, Hezekiah Jr. taxed .95 and value $30 for pleasure carriage; TEACHER Yoter, S.B. Taxed 1.00; laborer Yoter, J.L. - DEAD 1.00; laborer ========== The “other” year I have lists: Yoter, Hezekiah’s heirs, freeholder, farmer, 118 acres, log house and log barn, also log house and bank barn. Value $13/acre. Gross actual value $1534. No tax listed. Same page (alpha) Could assume tenants of Hezekiah but could be elsewhere too... Tenants: Yoter, Samuel Tenant, 1 horse value $45, 7 cattle value $112, pleasure carriage value $35, tax .82 Yoter, Joseph Tenant, 2 horses value $115, 2 cattle value $32, pleasure carriage value $40, tax .84 ==== Well, I don’t know if that’s helpful & sorry about the dates. For what it’s worth, I think the slate land is less desirable, and is north of the Conodoguinet Creek; the Getter farm was on limestone and was south of the creek. (It’s a huge curvy creek, neat to see on map) This is in the area of the Plainfield Bethel where Hezekiah is buried. Perhaps this will give you some little clues. ---Julie Getter, ageniebug at comcast.net, Feb. 5, 2010 - - - - - - - - - - - G35- Samuel B. Yoter (4/1/1845-2/14/1885 bur.

In 1818 he came to Missouri and settled in Warren County. During his residence here he built four mills (one run by water, two by horses, and one by oxen), and one distillery. His child- ren were: Joseph, Peter S., Polly, Elizabeth, Nancy, Henry, Sarah, Catharine, Charles and George W. Joseph married Polly Phoenix, and settled in Pike County, MO. Polly married John Johnson, of Pike County. Elizabeth married Joseph King, of Montgomery County. Nancy married Colonel Reuben Pew, of Montgomery County. Henry married Susan Shields, of Pike County. Sarah married Israel Sitters, of Callaway County. Catharine married Nicholas Bradley, of Callaway County. Charles married Judith Jamison, of Callaway County. George W. married Elizabeth Coil, and settled in Warren County. Peter S. married Miss Slonce, of Kentucky and settled in Warren County in 1818. He built a stone chimney 8 x 9 feet in size, and afterward built a cabin to the chimney. He obtained assistance from St. Charles County to raise his cabin, and as he furn- ished plenty of good whisky, it took them a week to finish it. When the house was completed he gave a dance, and during the night the floor gave way and let them all down into the cellar. Thomas Howell played the fiddle, and Rev. Thomas Bowen, who was a young man then, danced as vigorously as any of the other guests.” - - - - - - - - S1- John Boardman Yeater (1/18/1790 Bourbon Co, KY -10/20/1849) m 3/23/1809 Mary (Polly) Phoenix (12/29/1793- 1867) res. of Louisiana, Pike Co.,MO S11- Eliza Ann (1/28/1810-8/-/1879 Louisiana,Mo) m. 5/10/1827 William Bryson ( - ) S12- Conrad Penix (5/12/1813-5/9/1879) m1 1/26/1838 Mary Ann Milroy m2 7/1/1848 Euphrasia Smith res.

Reformed Cem., Numidia (From County Biographical History: “DANIEL YODER, farmer, P.O. Roaringcreek, was born in Northumberland County, Penn., July 13, 1847, a son of Abraham and Catherine (TROUTMAN) YODER, natives of Pennsylvania and of German descent. His father's great-grandfather came from Germany and settled in Berks County, where he resided several years and then moved to Schuylkill County, bought a tract of land, farmed and kept the old tavern at Mount Pleasant, but later left the place and went to Delaware County, Ohio, where he died. He never received anything for the farm he left, which was afterward taken up by other parties who discovered coal on it, and it became a valuable property. Our subject's father was born in Berks County, but spent the greater part of his life in Schuylkill County. He owned several properties and in early life followed lumbering and teaming. In 1867 he came to this county and settled in Locust Township near the foot of the Little Mountain, where he bought some mountain land, and resided until his death in July, 1880. He was the father of eleven children, eight living: Aaron, who served in the civil war and lost a limb; Daniel, Samuel, Hannah, Leah, Rachel, Elizabeth and Susan. Our subject was reared on a farm and remained at home until twenty-two, when he went west, visiting Iowa and other Western States and was absent about six months. A year after his return he settled in Frackville, Schuylkill Co., Penn., on land belonging to him, where he resided about five years following the lumber business. In 1875 he bought the farm where he now resides, and which consists of 106 acres of good land. He has made a great many improvements and built a barn 35x75 feet. He was married, September 17, 1871, to Sarah A. LONG, and they are the parents of eight children, seven of whom are living: Sylvester, Esther, Daniel L., Abraham, Joseph, Wellington and Rachel C. Mr. and Mrs. YODER are members of the German Reformed Church as are also Sylvester and Esther. Our subject served two years as superintendent of the Lutheran Reformed Sunday-school –a union school. In politics he is a Republican.
