Cocheu (1947, NY City and Hampton, CT) your Jonathan would appear to be the son of Jonathan and Rebecca YEOMANS. A similar relational connection was stated by John H. Greener in his compilation, The YEOMANS-YOUMANS FAMILY (1913, Brooklyn, NY). Greener, on his page 5 wrote, "JONATHAN YOUMANS (Jonathan, Sol. Sol. Chris.) 1760. Moved to Hamilton, N.J., Monmouth County. Was a minister and farmer. He built a church at Hamilton N.J. He was a man of great ability and pioneered in the developement (sic) of Monmouth County. He also had a store, blacksmith shop, sawmill and farm. He married Mary Eskipp and had 7 children." Mr. Greener, on his page 3, wrote of Jonathan's supposed father, "JONATHAN YEOMANS (Solomon, Solomon, Christopher) was a carpenter. Lived in Haverstraw. Had 10 children. His youngest son, Ezekial (sic), born 1781, was father of Wilson Drake Youmans I, born 1822." Any ideas how proving my Jonathan's relationship to the early Youmans/Yeomans of Haverstraw area are greatly appreciated! Suzanne
