Hello Erin,Dennis Matthews, who has posted many messages on this GenForum, has a wonderful Yerkes Website, which you can reach at the following address:

This Website is based on "The Chronicle of the Yerkes Family."Of course, it is not nearly as detailed as the book, but many of your questions will be answered.The book has a lot of information about your ancestor, Joseph Yerkes, on pp. 44 and 79.You are correct about Herman Yerkes and Elizabeth Watts being the grandparents of Joseph Yerkes.I assume that the Donald P. Yerkes you are referring to is Donald Purdy Yerkes.He is in the book, also.Good luck in researching your Yerkes line.
