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

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

First Yarborough Immigrants to America
In all I have seen or research done 'on the family o~ YARBOROUGH in the United States, there seems to be a unanimous decision that anyone_who can trace their ancestors as having been here before the Revolutionary War were all descendants of Richard Yarborough I. Although it is evident that they were. of the same line of origin, it is also evl.., dent that there were other Yarborough immigrants .iP. the early settlem~nt o:f thls country.
RICHARD YARBOROUGH 1' & II, , 1615-1652
Records of English passage lists shows Richard Yarborough booked passage to Virginia in 1635. If the records are accurate (Wm., and Mary Quarterly, Vol. 5, p. 233), he died at age 87 in 1702. This means he waa_born in 1615 and· was 20 years old when he-£irst come to Virginia. w~ know that Richard_ Yarl>orough I. had a son, Richard· Il,- _·who- was also born in England, (from Court case .in 1690).. This Richard-stated that in 1690 he was 38 years o1d.and was born in England (1652) •. It is obvious that Richard r·made the . voyage 'between England and Virginia more than the 'one time in 1635. While we do not have the record o:f the exact place Richard-I landed on this continent, it is possible he landed in the vicinity of Yorktown. Some of the earliest records show him present in Counties· o:f Northhampton, King and Queen. and King William. It -ia·· obvious that his course o:f migration was up the,, York River.-· . It. has been established that Richard I was of the· branch from Yarborough in Lincoln, England, referred to as the "Lincolnshire" branch. About 1600, several members of the "L.incolnshire Yarboroughs" settled in other Counties: Willi~n Yarborough settleq _in Yorkshire, Charles in Nottinghamshire, arid Francis in Northamptonshire. One Edmund Yarbrough roade his· home at Balne Hall, in.Yorkshire, and married Sarah,, . daughter o:f Thomas Wormeley, o:f that county.
EDMUND·or .EDWARD! & II, c 1630....:1650
It would appear, from the following record, that this Edmund was also an immigran~ to the colonies. Found in the records o:f York County, Virginia, Book~-III - Wills, Deeds and Orders, p. 28: "It is orc;Iered that ~?fe Sheriff convey Edward·· Yarbrough, son of Edward Yarbrough, deceased, to the next court to be delivered to constable and from that constable to another constable ~til he be delivered to Col. Robert Abrall, who is desired by this Court to dispose of him to his Mother · (nee Wonpely) or other ways which are fitting. Next Court to be 24 August, 1658."
(The above :record may be found in "Virginia Colonial Abstracts." Series ;z, Vol. 5, Duvall. York Co. 1657-1659.)

(*Ref: 11Ear:ly Virginia I.mmigran ta 1623-1666 - George Cabel Greer, .Bal "tl.more Genealogical Publishing Co., 1960, p. 374) .
. Christian Yarblow is shown, among the arrivals in Virginia in 1653 Hponsored by '=11omas Willis. Some .researchers (Nelle Norris Jenkins) have stated this Christian Yarblow was the same as Richa1:·d II and was so called to distinguish him from his Father~ F~chard I. I believe this not to be so as I feel Richard Yarborough I would have sponsored his own son if it were so.
AMBROSE YARBROUGH b. c 1710
The Yarborough "cousins" in England did/have communication with those who came to Virginia in the colonial days
. and according to. researcher Senator George_ Washington Yarbor-ough (D. Alabama ....; probably. tile foremost aut~ori ty on the Yarborough Family ln Ameri"ca since 1930) another immigrant ancestor of the .faL[),i1y was Ambrose Yarbrough who left England in 1732. -

ollowing will be some brief history of these early immigrants:
IMMIGRANT RICI-iARD YAR30ROUGH
Found in the records of the House of Burgesses, the first representative legislative body in America, there are references to Richard Yarbu.rgh, Yarberry (Yarborough).
"At a Grand Assembly began at Green Spring, the 20th day of February 1.676, these following Orders of Public charge were made and allowed, viz.· *** To Richard Yarberry (sic) 6,000 ~bs. of Tobacco ***

I have no doubt that our Yarbrough ancestors are of English descent.
The above records prove that Yarbrough's lived in York County,
England in 1627 and in 1740. Other than York County, I have
not localized the name. (Doug Wilson)
PELH.fu'1 - the name of an English family, derived from Pelham in
northeastern Hertfordshire. The family dignities include the
barony of Yarborough. Sir William Pelham was ancestor of the
Pelhams of Brocklesby, Lincolnshire, who became earls of Y<lrlJorough.

CHAPTER XII \XI ASHINGTON COMES TO SALISBURY
I-Ltrlfly lud North Carolina entered into the new Union thJn L' President of the United States paid her a visit early in 1791. tc Fcdcr;1lists, who were then in control of the country, deed thl! grJnd old patriot, General \Vashington, to tour the uth in order to strengthen their party in territory that was srilc to their policies. A storm of protest was arising against dcc1list measures in that section of the Union and the storm ts dtc genesis of an opposition party. The Feder::tlist leaders,
•,om Alexander Hamilton, the SecretJry of the Treasury, t.\ the foremost, found Washington's enorn1ous popularity a huhle asset. The precise effect that Washington had on the d North State is not known, but it did afford an opportunity r p;ltriotic demonstrations such ::ts had never before been witsscd in the state.
After \VJshington had traversed the eastern seaboard as far SJv;tnn;\h he returned through Augusta, Columbia, and Caron. f-Ie then stopped at the home of Major Richard Crawford ~ht miles from North Carolina. Maj. Crawford had reared 1drcw Jackson and taught him the rudiments of military ClKC. On May 27 he arrived at the southern border of Meck,hurg County, where he was met by a detachment of Salisbury ght Dragoons under Captain Charles Caldwell, a young mediI student then studying in a physician's home in Salisbury. lis group of 13 young men was a part of a larger company reuitcd in Salisbury to escort the famous general to their town. 1cy lud left the company 15 miles from Salisbury and jourycd to the South Carolin:t line to await the President. There e young captain, who was scarcely ·more than a boy, gave c distinguished Washington his first reception into North trolina. C:-tldwell was frightened at first, but the gentle manr with which Washington received him soon put the captain L'Js~, ;1nd the two of them enjoyc·d a pleasant chat along the
to Charlotte. \'Vhile conversing, Washington inquired of

92 THE ROWAN STORY (1753-1953)
young C:tldwcll ,vhcther :1nyone was still alive who had signed the L1mous 1v1cck1cnburg Dccl:u:ttion of Independence. l-Ie was told that a few remained but would prob::.1bly not appear in the vilbge as they were too scattered throughout the countryside and their :~ge would not pennit them to attend the ceremonies in Charlotte. Upon reaching Mecklenburg, Caldwell and the other Salisbury Jragoons delivered \Y/ :~shington to the Mecklenburg Light Horse.
The pres.identi:~l p:trty proceeded towards Salisbury on May 29. That night was spent at the home of Major ]vbrtin Phifer (Pheiffer) at ««Red I-Iill" in Cabarrus County, three miles west of present Concord. The party got an early start the next morning and after tr:1veling about ten n1iles were met at the dividing line between l\1ecldenburg and Rowan by a party of light dragoons of which Ch:trles Caldwell's group had been a part, and proceeded into town under the com1nand of Captain fohn Beard, who lud served in the Revolution. As \Y/ashington proceeded on to S:1lisbury they were met by other cmnpanics, one of which was composed of little boys all wearing buck tails from their cap :lS a symbol of independence. According to Mangum's :1ccount this was .. the nicest thing he h:1d seen".
As \Y/ ashington entered the town and pushed his way through the crowd to the court house that stood in the public square where he was to be officially received, a cannon fired fifteen salutes in his honor. After the reception the party moved down Corbin Street to the Yarborough House, located in the n1iddle of the west side of Main between Inne·s :-tnd Council, where they breakfasted.
That afternoon the honorable visitor was waited upon by Judge Spruce Macay, Charles Harris, 11ontfort Stokes, and Lewis Beard, who presented hin1 with :1n :1ddress:
Sir, We have the honour to signify to you the joy which your pres-ence, after a tedious journey undertnken at an adwmcC'd nge In life, affords to the inhabitants of this place. Words arc wanting to express our gratitude to heaven for continuing your life, on which our national glory and domestic tranquility, are even at this day, depending.

Situated at a 1·cmote distance from the sc;-tt of government, deriving no advnntage from the es1ab1i.shmcnt of post roads, nnd destitute o£ regular information, we arc sometimes at n loss to form proper opinions of national mcnsurcs; but we, nevertheless, boast, that \ve have been and still are zealously ntt<.1ched to order, and effective government. And hnving been ranked with those who suffered in the late war, we pledge ourselves to be amongst the foremost to maintain nnd perpct uate the federal government.
That your life, ju.stly dear to ,tN.e people of this country, a life precious, an ornament to hun1an nature, and n blessing to the United St<~tes of America, may long be preserved, is the fervent and unanimous prayer of the people of this village.

Even at this early date the leaders of this town expressed to the President in a subtle way their want of better roads and by implication these Federalists hinted that they desired the federal government to take over the post roads of the country.
In the reply, the original of which is mounted in a case in the Rowan Public Library as a donation by Irvin Ocstricher, \X'ashington <Jllluded to the roads in the third paragraph:
Gentlemen:
Your expressions of satisfaction on my arrival in Salisbury, are received with pleasure, and thanked with sincerity.
The interest which you m·e pleased to take in my personal welfare, excites a sensibility proportionecl to your goodness. While I make the most grateful acknowledglnent for that goodness, allow me to observe that your own dctennination. cooperating with that of your fellow-citizens throughout U1e union, to maintain and perpetuate the federal government, afTords a better e1ssurance of order and efTective goycrnment, with tJ1cir concomitants private and public prosperity, than the best meant endeavors of any individual could give.
Our national glory, and our domestic tranquility, can never be tarnished or disturbed, while they are guarded by wise laws found in public virtue. Among the measures which an cn1ight-
