Dear LIst Members, I have learned that there was yet another Yokum daughter that was married to someone on the White River in 1820, or 1821, named Ruby Yoakum. She would have been born between 1795-1805, probably Tennessee, or even Illinos. If you have any family from there with a mother/wife Ruby that has not been identified (surname), let me know and I will check her out to see if she is this Ruby Yoakum. We think maybe we have identified Sarah Yoakum as wife of Asa McFelch and Frances "Fanny" Yoakum as wife of Simeon Talburt, Anna Yoakum as wife of William Smith as daughters of Jacob Yoakum who came to White River in early 1800s. This Ruby Yoakum could possibly be a sister but at present we do not know who she married. This is a proposed family for Jacob Yoakum with wife Sarah Unknown: Please do NOT take it to be factual. We understand that other Yaokum family members have a different family tree established. This is just our best educated guess at this time. We believe this is the Jacob Yoakum is the one Schoolcraft mentioned in his writing. If you have any information for me to research, please send it along.
