Comments: I am having a problem with the information on Isaac R. Yoakum. born 10/26/1812 You show that his wife was Emma Yoakum born `1812. This is my g/g/grandfather and I know for a fact that his wife was a Charokee Indian by the name of Rachel Sisk. I am almost certain that all of the children listed are from Rachel. By chance, was Isacc married first and then when something became of this "EMMA" he remarried Rachel and had all these kids.
My g/grandmother was with Rachel when she was on her death bed and she (Rachel) admited that she was full blooded Charokee indian. She is buried in Williams cemetery in Marries county Mo. and stone is inscribed as "Full blooded Chorkee Indian" Husband Isaac is buried around Huston, Mo. please clear this up for me. thank you.

Hi, James.
I did a little further census research and it looks like there's two Isaac Yoakums -Yours is William Isaac, son of Valentine, who married Rachel.
the one I have in my file seems to be the wrong one. He's Isaac R. married to Emma, in 1850 census with list of kids, not same as Wm Isaac's list of kids in 1860 census with Rachel. Also, counties in Missouri are some distance apart.
It looks like Isaac R is a Jr. and son of Valentine's brother.

Valentine married Charlotte Reynolds in 1802 in Claiborne Co, Tennessee. Charlotte was born in 1788 in Claiborne Co, Tennessee; died in 1830 in Roane Co, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Birth: 15 Jan 1752, Peach Creek Twp, Greenbrier Co, West Virginia

Notes:

He served in Capt. Ray's Co, Lincoln Mil., fought at the Battle of Point Pleasant, WV on 10 Oct 1774, along with Daniel Boone, Isaac Michael Van Bebber John Van Bebber and Peter Van Bebber. Isaac was killed in that battle, fought with an Indian group led by Chief Corstalk, who was also killed there. The Indian group was hired by the British. The Claiborne Co., TN Historical Quarterly states that George, along with John and Peter Van Bibber, established Yoakum's Station in then Grainger Co, which is now Claiborne Co. It is about 14 miles from the Cumberland Gap. In 1797 Fort Yoakum was built nearby.

George was killed on a bear hunt in the Cumberland Mountains
It is reported that George and his brother-in-law established Yoakum's Station in article furnished by Jack Reber. It reports George killed on a bear hunt and buried near the station. He built Yoakum's Fort about 14 miles from the Cumberland Gap. It is also reported that Yoakum's Fort was on the Wilderness Road in Lee Co., VA, about 14 miles from the Cumberland Gap before Yoakum's Station in TN. I cannot find it on the DeLorme Atlas of Virginia.
Granger Co. Court Minutes Book #1, Pages 174-75, dated 18 May 1801, ordered Martha and Isaac Yoakum to administer the estate of George Yoakum, deceased. John Vanbebber and Robert
Howard were securities.

R. A. Yoakum of Morristown, TN wrote that George married Margaret Van Bibber 1777, daughter of Isaac Michael Van Bibber. He relates the story that during the Indian attack which claimed all the rest of the family, George grabbed a "skillet handle" from one Indian and killed three Indians with it. George would have been only about 13 years old, unless one accepts Harold M. Yoakum's version. (?)

Harold M. Yoakum, in his book, page 12, reports that the massacre took place in 1773, the year he says that Valentine was killed, that George was born 1752, thus George would have been about 21 years old when he grabbed the skillet handle used to kill two Indians. Very soon thereafter, he states that George joined Captain Ray's Company of the Lincoln Militia of Illinois (??)

If Steve Smith's research is correct, and it appears trustworthy, then that story about his escape is not true. To support his theory, the Indians killed all grown men, taking only women and children prisoners. Thus any older George Yocum would not have survived. A George Yoakum was among the prisoners released by the Indians had to have been a child captive. No other George Yocum near that age has ever surfaced, thus it is strong evidence that that captive George was this George.

This George was in Lord Dunmore's war, which was just prior to the Revolutionary War and not considered part of the Revolution, thus no revolutionary pension.

George married Martha "Patty\Patsy" Van Bibber in 1777 in Greenbrier Co, West Virginia. Martha (daughter of Rev. Isaac Michael Van Bibber, Sr and Sarah Davis) was born about 1766 in Montgomery Co, Missouri; died after 1819 in Salisbury Twp, Sangamon Co, Illinois. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The mother [Martha Yoakum] moved with her family about 1810 to Madison County near Edwardsville, Illinois.

The mother died there.
