  • 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.

    Ll. THE HERRENS

    It was near the beginning of the nineteenth century that Jonathan Herren, the first of the name to come to this part of Western North Carolina, purchased a tract of land near the present site of the negro school house in Waynesville, probably the same that is now known as the Will Herren place on the edge of Waynesville on the left hand side of Highway No. 284 as one goes east. His purchase was some years before Haywood County was erected and the record of it is in the office of the register of deeds of Buncombe County.

    Jonathan Herren's life in Haywood County must have been a very quiet one as there are no traces of his activities except records of the purchase of other lands at a later date. The inference is that his purchases were by State grants a~d that he began to sell off some of his holdings at a later date. At least that is the information that may be gathered from the scanty records that are available. He married Eliza-beth Osborne.

    It is known that Jonathan Herren reared two sons. Green Herren married Cordelia Johnson and the names of two sons are recorded, as follows: Lester. an orchardist of some reputation who li,·ed in Buncombe County. and Eli Barker, who married Jane Yarborough, of Raleigh. lh·ed and died in Haywood County.

    THE THOMAS FAMILY. More than a century and a quarter ago, a young couple, who ha~ married a _short time before in Virginia, came to the fertile and scemcally beautiful Pigeon valley in what is now Haywo?d. County. There they purchased lands and began the b~uldmg of a home for themselves. They lived together m that new country for about two years when their brief union was tragically broken by the drowning in Pigeon river of the young husband. .

    The actors in this tragic drama were R1chard Thomas, who was born in Virginia, and Temperance _Calvert, a descendant of one of the brothers of Lord Baltimore who had settled the Maryland colony in 1634. Only a few

    Ll. THE HERRENS

    It was near the beginning of the nineteenth century that Jonathan Herren, the first of the name to come to this part of \Vestem North Carolina, purchased a tract of land near the present site of the negro school house in Waynesville, probably the same that is now known as the Will Herren place on the edge of Waynesville on the left hand side of Highway No. 284 as one goes east. His purchase was some years before Haywood County was erected and the record of it is in the office of the register of deeds of Buncombe County.

    Jonathan Herren's life in Haywood County must have been a very quiet one as there are no traces of his activities except records of the purchase of other lands at a later date. The inference is that his purchases were by State grants and that he began to sell off some of his holdings at a later date. At least that is the information that may be gathered from the scanty records that are available. He married Eliza-beth Osborne.

    It is known that Jonathan Herren reared two sons. Green Herren married Cordelia Johnson and the names of two sons are recorded, as follows: Lester, an orchanli.:>.:of some reputation who lived in Buncombe County, anef\ Eli Barker, who married Jane Y~D, of Raleigh, Ii\red and died in Haywood County)

    Eli Barker Herren was a man well known in this county. He was a citizen of much influence, a merchant

    Their children were: Arimenta Jane, born Nov.ember 15, 1836, died December 2, 1911 an :ried in Snow Hill Methodist Cemetery;

    tv1ary Ann, born October 1, 1840, died February 1, 1892;

    Edith, born October 1, 1838, died Decem-ber 5, 1915, and buried near her parents; Sadie; Nehoma; Archibald; William Martin, born July 5, 1850, died April12, 1920, buried in Crescent, Oklahoma with his wife, Rachel Penland Herren. William had a large farm there and he and his wife had eleven children.

    John Mark Herren, born December 17, 1851, married Lucinda Flipps and had six chil-dren. At one time the family were the proud owners of one of the only two "surreys with the fringe on the top" in town. It was once said of John anrl Lucinda - "there weren't finer folk than John and Lucinda ... they made a good living, were well well fixed, but more important, they were respected! They were hard-working people. She swept her house, her yard and her outhouse everyday. She filled her cellar with canned fruits and vegetables!"

    Another handed-down 'John Mark Herren Story': There were no banks nearby in tt10se days. John Mark kept from $100 to $1 ,000 in a trunk in his bedroom. One evening Mark had gon~to bed. Lucinda was still weaving in the livi )Om (Woman's work is never done!) As she ,,,1ally started into the bedroom, she saw a man on his knees crawling toward the trunk. At Lucinda's scream, Mark came out of the bed with loaded gun, which always stood beside it. The man went out the window with Mark and gun on his heels and down through the orchard. He never came back.

    John Mark Herren's orchard seemed to be the place the intruders always headed for. His Smoke Hose held around ten hogs. As a man was trying to saw the through the chain on the door, Mark shot through the kitchen window and knocked his hat off. Not waiting for his hat, again the intruder took off through the orchard.

    John Mark Herren died September 29, 1909 and was buried in Bethel Cemetery. in Denton, Arkansas.

    C;ccnrJerry Herron was ninth child of Eze-kiel and Nancy Herren. He was born January 9, 1854 in Buncombe Co. and died July 7, 1900 in Denton, Arkansas, but was buried in old Lebanon Cemetery, Powhatan, Ark. He was twice married. His lirst wife was Nellie Morris whom he married on Marcl1 27, 1784 and they had one son William A. Herren. His second wi1,..."'1S Margaret J. Matthews. They owned ve.. _Jod acreage in Lawrence County, Ark. and had five children.

    The fortunes of most of the descendants of this Herren fa•nily led them to other states where they have expended their eneroic'; in building up the communities where they lived, but one of the l10bbies of Opal Udella Herren
