I descend from the NJ Yards also. Our earliest known ancestors are John Yard b. 1777 Trenton, NJ and his wife Hannah Benson b. c1777 in a Swedish settlement south of Philadelphia. This couple moved to western PA. There is debate as to who John Yard's parents were. Some believe that his father was a Stephen Yard (son of John Yard, John Yard, Joseph and Mary Yard) while others feel he was the son of James Yard and Nancy Mounttier (Benjamin Yard and Ann Pierson; William Yard and Mary Tindall; Joseph and Mary). Any light you can shed on this debate would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
