It goes as follows: Capt John to his son Joseph, then to John Baker (1814) then to Daniel Baker &Sarah Helms, then Daniel Curtis Baker the third husband of my gg grandmother Barbara Jane Fryman. Johannes Yoho is buried in the Yoho cemetery that lies close to WV route 2 in Graysville WV. I think other Yoho's are buried there also. I have been told that some grave stones are still readable.
