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.

Searching for Indexed Terms1

First, find the name or phrase (search term) in the index. Then, from the menu bar, select

“Edit”, and then “Find” or press CTRL+F. A search field will appear in the upper right corner of

the page. Enter the search term into this field and press ENTER. If the search term is not

found, nothing will happen; otherwise, the search term will be displayed on the first page

in which it occurs. Repeated pressing of the ENTER key will high-light other occurrences

within the file. Use the left and right arrow buttons to the right of the search field to look

ahead or to look backwards for other occurrences of the term in the document

A directory (folder) or even an entire hard drive may also be searched2. First, high-light the

selected folder or drive and then press SHIFT+CTRL+F to obtain a listing of all the files in

which the search term appears. Next, select and open an individual file to find the first

occurrence of the search term(s) in the file, as described in the preceding paragraph.

document. With this caveat, each volume has been made searchable by Adobe Acrobat, version 9 or later.
