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.

About this Volume

The indices for both the scanned and archived volumes were created by TExtract®, a

software package used by commercial book and document publishers. Among its many features is

the ability to merge the individual chapter/volume indices into a composite master index. It is not,

of course, an error-free software package, especially when the print quality of the original

documents is poor. Nevertheless, the resulting indices are mostly error-free, with the exception of

page numbering. The given page numbers in the indices refer to the actual “page count” number,

not the number that may appear on a given page.

The indexing results are in alphabetical order as follows. Each indexed term is followed by

the term “Vol.” and an associated volume number. These two terms are followed by one or more

page numbers, separated by a comma. If the term is found in more than one volume, the

succeeding volumes will follow this syntax.

The source material’s page numbering has been unchanged, and the indices provided by the

author match the content of those volumes as they are paginated. These volumes are all

searchable, so the best procedure is to use the index to see on which page a particular ancestor

may be located.

BY THE COMMITTEE. FOR EXAMINING CLAIMS TO LAND IN l'AMUNKEY NECK, AND ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF BlACKWATER SWAMP, AND TO CONSIDER OF THE MOST PIDPER MEANES TO SETTLE THE NORTHERN & SOUTHERN BOUNOO OF VIRGINIA· Dated itme, 1699 ~

The Queen of the Pamunkey Indians together with the great. men belonging to the said Nation setting forth that, by Severall Orders of the Generall Court. there was Granted unto them a considerable quantity of Land lyeing in Pamunkey Neck, which they have a long time possessed and enjoyed. And that. by the Articles of Peace made at. Middle Plantation the 29th May 1677 the sd. Land was then confirmed unto them, with a clause in the said Articles that. a Patent. should be granted to them as is usuall to other His Maj 1 ties Subjects, which Patent tho' often desired by the said Indians was never yet. obtained. And the said Indians thereupon complaining that. Ralph Wormeley Esqr. & others in Company of the Surveyor about. the begin-ning of June 1694 upon the sd. Petitioners Land possest. by them and within one mile of their Indian Town and in Severall other places of the said Land did enter, survey, and lay out severall considerable parcells of the Pet.•s Land to their great prejudice and breach of the said Articles of Peace. And which if suffered would of necessity drive the petitioners from off their now habitation, and praying redress and that a Patent may be granted them :Pursuant to the said Articles.

The same being fully weighed & Considered by the Comit.tee and the great. men of the sd. Pamunkey Indians and Robert. :Peasley, their interpreter, haveing appeared personally before us, upon full heareing of what they had further to allege and due Consideration had to the Articles of :Peace and 136 Act. of Assembly in the printed book in which the said Articles have relation, this Comit.tee conceived that. the fourth paragraph in the said Articles of Peace Contained ought. to be kept. firma & inviolable, which paragraph is as followet.h:-

That. for prevention of the injuries and evill conseq't.s that may arise for the future by the Violent intrusion of diverse English into & upon the Land Granted to the said Indians by the aforesaid Articles to ye great. disturbance of the Peace of this His Maj 1ties Colony and involving it. into crime & misery. It. is concluded and established that. noe English shall. seat. or plant. nearer than within three mile& of an1 Indian Town.

And thereupon this Commi t.tee doe report:-

1· That according to the Purport intei!t and true meaning thereof: No English whatsoever ought. to seat., plant or possess any Land in Pamunkey Neck nearer than within three miles as aforesaid of the Town where the said Indians now 1nhabi t, that. being the place where-on they were seated at the time of the said Articles and on which they have ever since continued.

2· That the said Indians have not. any power or authority by colour or pretext of the said Articles or any Law or Order whatsoever to sell, lease or let. out. any part or parcell of the said Land within the sd. bounds other than to the posterity of their own nation.

3. That the said Land to the said Indians so as aforesaid Granted and bonded by the said Articles of Peace should be adjudged and taken to be sufficient. for their habitation and reserved Lands.

(58)

4. That it would conduce much to His Maj'ties service that all other Vacant Land in the said Pamunkey Neck be held of his Maj 1 tie, his heirs and successors by Patent as other Lands are held on.

And whereas severall parcells of Land were by the Pamunkey Indians for good & valuable consideration leased for Ninety Nine yeares to these uverall persons hereafter named which Lands by an Order of .lssembly held at James City the 25th April 1679 was granted to be conflmed unto them, and that they should have the priority and first grant thereof when the same came to the King's hands. Provided always that it should not be construed and taken to g1 ve them right to any Lands granted by patent or patents before the making of 136 Act of Assembly, viz:-

To Thomas Bell a parcell of land the quantity not mentioned

Mr. John Langston Six hundred acres of land

Cornelius Dabney. Six or seven hundred acres of land

John Sexton assigned to James Turner a tract of land, quantity not mentioned

Peter Adams fifteen hundred agree of land I

Ambrose Lipscome a tractr quantity not mentioned

~ Richard Yarborow, a tract, quantity not mentioned

George Smith six hundred acres of land

Upon due consideration whereof this Comittee doe conceive that the severall persons before named and all claimeing under them whose names are so many of them as appeared to lay their claims before this Oomittee, hereafter are expressed pursuant to the P. Order of Assembly ought to be preferred before any others, viz:-

Thomaa Comer his claims to one hundred acres of land in Pamunkey Neck, part of that 1saaed to Peter Adams and by severall mean Conveyances come to his possession. As also six hundred & 'eventy acres issueing out of severall former patents granted to severall persons and by sev 1 ll mean Conveyances come to his possession.

John Haydon's claims to three hundred and seventy acres, part of the said tract purohas·ed of Geo. Adams &: quit rents paid.

This Committee also being of opinion that it will conduce much to the advancement of his Maj'ties interest and service that all Vacant Landa in Pamunkey Neck be held by Patent of the King, b.1a heirs and I!Uccesso~, do thereupon conceive that the following cla1mes (h1a Maj 1tiea Grant to hia Royall Colledge or William & Mary in Virginia being t1rat or all oomplyed with & laid out) ought to be granted to the aeverall petitioners and they to be preferred before any other not haVing prior grant & entrya or Surveya, they having entree rights tor and surveyed the aame, and aome of them thereupon beeing Beated severall yearea, v1zl-

Evidence was given to the Committee by Mr. Gideon Macon that this information was true and that at the present time the land had been leased by covin to a Gregory Gartoot by Daniell Parke together with several negroes. The whole matter was referred to the General Assembly to decide the rightful owner)

(62)

TITLES UPON INDIAN ~ES (June, 1699)

THIS COMMITTE• conceived that the following claimee and titles to Land in Pamunkey Neck haveing their ground and foundation upon Indian leases are, ipso facto, Null & Voyd as being contrary to the true Intent and meaning of the Articles of Peace and to the l36th ~ct of Assembly in the Printed Book. But because it conduces much to the advancement of his Maj

1ties Interest and the peopleing of this his Maj'ties Colony

that the said lands should be held of the King as others, and because the severall persons claimeing thereby have their immediate dependance thereupon and have made severall improvements and have a long continued & uninterrupted possession, this Committee therefore conceived that (his Maj'ties grant to his Royall Colledge of William & Mary and other the former salvo's reserved) a favourable Grant thereof may be made to them in severally, Viz:-

Robert Napier 100 acres leased to Alexander Mackdonald and assigned to him and 800 acres leased to himselfe r

John Whitlock 150 acres by the same title

William Leigh of King & Queen County, Gentl. representing to his Excellency that by an order of Councill dated 25th November 1682 it was directed that 4,000 acres of land should be laid out for the Rappa' Indians about the town where they dwelt. 3,474 acres were laid out but the Indians deserted the land after some time and William Leigh wished to make a survey of the land. The Comittee said this land was not in Pamunkey Neck or Blackwater and was not w1 thin their Cognizance but presumed the usual methods could be followed for takeing up the land.
