Descendants of Matthias Yoakum

Generation One

1. Matthias¹ Yoakum;¹^,² b. between 1695 and 1705; m. (--?--) (--?--) before 1722; m. Eleanor Unknown after 1740.

Married possibly two times.³ Evidence now suggests that Matthias Yoakum (b. ca 1695-1705) may have been the original immigrant of this line to America. Although H. C. Smith originated the often copied theory that Heinrich Jochem was the first immigrant of the line, recent research by Craig and others has failed to find any real evidence that Heinrich (and a few others listed by Smith) even existed.⁴^,⁵^,⁶ He was executor of son Francis Yoakum's estate on 13 Aug 1751 in Frederick County, Virginia.⁷

Mike Sizer's research strongly suggests that the individuals listed here are Michael Yoakum's children. It is interesting to note that virtually no researchers (before Sizer) even had any threories regarding Michael's family or whereabouts after about 1784.

If Michael Yoakum is the father of Solomon, and this Solomon is "our" Solomon (b. 1773, moved to Missouri), then he may well have had other children prior to those listed. Jacob "James" (father of Levi or Jacob Levi) and his brothers (Solomon, Jesse, and Mike) are mentioned in several anecdotal accounts and county histories as being early settlers in SW Missouri and NW Arkansas. Little is certain of the early settlers, however there is sufficient proof of Solomon's presence in the 1820s. One account lists a Jacob Yoakum being sent from North Carolina to accompany Indians being moved west. That Michael and his family lived in "North Carolina territory" early on may hint at a connection. Very little of the lore presented in these historical accounts has ever been substantiated with any kind of documentation. Greene, Jefferson, and Knox locations are all the same (county boundaries changed over time). He lived between 1762 and 1784 in Peaks of Otter or Little Otter Creek, Bedford County, Virginia. He lived between 1762 and 1784 in Bedford County, Virginia, (See Mike Sizer notes).¹⁶ He lived between 1785 and 1791 in Upper French Broad River, Greene County, North Carolina Terr. (Greene Co. Tenn.). He lived between 1791 and 1797 in Jefferson County, Tennessee. He lived in 1799 in Knox County, Tennessee.

He was also known as James Yoachum. He lived in 1840 in Taney County, Missouri.¹⁸
ii. Agnes; b. between 1765 and 1770 in Virginia; m. Jacob Smelcer circa 1788 in Greene County, Virginia.
8. iii. Priscilla, b. 1773 in Bedford County, Virginia; m. Frederick Mayberry.
9. iv. Solomon, b. 1773 in Virginia; m. Susannah Adams; m. (--?--) Unknown.

Regarding the derivation of the name "Dill":

In 1870, there are at least two Dill families in Dade County:

Morgan Twp., P.O. Greenfield

262/266 Dill, John 41 TN

Luanza 38 MO

Nancy J. 10 MO

William 8 MO

Baronia 6 MO

Harrison 4 MO

Lucinda 4/12 (Mar) MO

263/267 Dill, William 69 SC

Susanna 60 LA

Susanna 23 LA

Morris, Martha 10 MO

Presumably, William is John's father. Explore the possibility of a Dill connection.
