Hello. I just subscribed to the HARDY County mail list. I'm looking for any history that may have been written containing information on the YOAKUM and SEE families, and other related families. I have deducted that Valentine "Felty" YOAKUM, son of Matthias YOAKUM, and wife, Eleanor, married Margaret SEE, the daughter of George SEE and Margaret TSCHUDI. The early families were in HARDY county in the 1700's. Any information or sources on these families would be appreciated. I would be most interested in finding the maiden name for the wife of Matthias YOAKUM/YOCUM. Matthias can also be found in the AUGUSTA and GREENBRIER County records. He died in Kentucky after 1780. I have written a biographical sketch on the family of Valentine YOAKUM thru his son George YOAKUM. This information is available on the Web, for anyone interested let me know and I will send the URL. Thank You Cumberland Gap
