Descendants of John Lau Yoho - 2 JAN 1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FIRST GENERATION 1. John Lau Yoho was born in 1746 in nr Winchester, VA. He died in 1834. Served with his brothers Henry & Peter in the Virginia Militia during Revolution @ Fort Pitt 1777. Merged General Note: John Yoho . Denver Clayton Yoho writes: I believe that this John Yoho, b. 1746, served with his brother, Henry, under the command of Lieutenant William Cross in the Monongalia Militia in 1777. This belief is the result of sorting out the family traditions and in some cases finding records that substanitated or corrected those traditions and family kept records. A descendant of this John Yoho stated that his great grandfather, John Yoho, b. 1799, and his two brothers helped eradicate the Indians on the border. Records indicate that it was this descendants great-great-grandfather, John Yoho, b. 1746, who was a Revolutionary War Soldier. I thought, until records proved me wrong that, Henry Yoho, b. 1782, my 3rd great-grandfather was my Revolutionary War ancestor. It was actually my 4th great-grandfather, Henry Yoho, b. 1752, and uncle of Henry, b. 1781. Brothers, John Yoho and Henry Yoho served together in the Virginia Militia. Their brother, Peter, also served at the same time. These are the three brothers mentioned by the descendant of John Yoho. I believe this is the John Yoho who bought land near Winchester, VA in 1776 from Fairfax and sold it to Alex Mechir. It very well might have been Johannas Yoho, the father of this John, as John's brother, Henry, was born 18 miles from Winchester in 1752. (22 Apr 1988). The Indian Wars By Denver Yoho April 1995. We have records of at least four, and possibly five, Yoho ancestors who served as soldiers during the Indian Wars and the American Revolution, including George Yoho, Peter Yoho, John Yoho, Henry Yoho and Jacob Yoho. These five men are believed to be five of the sons of Johannas Yoho (born 1712 and died circa 1795) and Susanne Catherine (Lau) Yoho (born circa 1714). Following is information and records evidencing my conclusions relating to the service of these men in the Indian Wars. John Yoho, who was born circa 1746, lived in the Pennsylvania area. Most of John's descendants are still living in and around Western Pennsylvania. John also died prior to the time that request for pensions or land grants for serving in the wars were granted. John served in the same company with his brother, Henry, in the Monongalia Militia under the command of Major James Chew. John enlisted in October 1777. It is believed that John also served in the Pennsylvania militia. The preceding records were found on page 28 of "The Ten Mile Country and its Pioneer Families," by Howard L. Leckley and on page 302 of "Frontier Defence of the Upper Ohio." (Source: The Yoho Newsletter, April 1995, Vol. 4, No. 1). John Lau Yoho had the following children: +2 i. Barbara Yoho. +3 ii.
