Pa Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Venango/2629 Surname: Yarnell, Karns, Perry, Miller, Petterman, Roberts, Riley, Woodring, Murdock, Spaid, Mook, Gibson, Kidnor, Watkins, Donley, Wheeling, Williams ------------------------- Albert Leroy Yarnell b. 5/1861? d. 10/4/1946 was s/o Jesse and Elizabeth (Liza) Miller Yarnell. Jesse's parents were Peter and Lydia Yarnell, who came to Canal Twp.,Venango Co. in the early 1850's from Northumberland Co, PA. Liza's parents were George & Liza Dinbaugh Miller from Schuylkill Co., PA. I would like verification of Albert's actual birthdate if anyone has it. The reason being: Liza had an affair with Jesse's older brother, Joseph, who also happened to be her elder sister, Sarah's husband. Joseph died in 1860, 11 months after his son, Levi was born. Sarah did sign off her widow's rights after his death, documentation for this is at the Venango Co. Courthouse. She later married William Cotterman. (Family story is possibly a divorce, I can't find any documentation of this.) Liza, I am not certain, was married to Jesse at the time, or still single. I do not have their marriage date. After Jesse died in 1862 she married Henry Yarger. I do not know if they had any children. Joseph and Jesse are buried at the Hannaville Free Will Baptist. Sarah, William, Liza, and Henry are all buried at Peters Cem. Albert Leroy Yarnell d. 10/4/1946 Bur. Cochranton Cem. m.9/7/1887 Nettie Karns b. 2/17/1869 d. 12/6/1938 Bur.
