Hi Marsha,
It has been a while since I've dealt with my family's genealogy, but have recently started to pick it back up, which is how I came across your postings.
Along with the family bible and my aunt's knack for research, two books I've worked with are:
1. "Some Descendants of the Pioneers"
which traces the lineage of Charles Fairfax Brooks (his papers are expected to be deposited in the Tazwell County Public Library, VA, if they are not already).
2. "Annals of Tazwell County, Virginia"
There are some mistakes in "Annals..." regarding who actually immigrated, but here's the information I have relating to Lorenzo Dow Yost, husband of Polly Stump:
Jacob Yost
b. ? (most likely Germany)
d. ? (most likely Germany)
m. ?
known children. Jacob Jr
Jacob Jr Yost
b. ? (most likely Germany)
d. ? (most likely Germany)
m. ?
known children. Christian
Christian Yost
b. 1687, Germany
d. 1728, Laugnau Switzerland (during war on Protestants)
m. ?

Hans Casper Yost
(arrived America 17 Aug 1733 on the ship, "Samuel")

d. 4-27-1951
m. Della Walkup Mullin (b. 9-14-1888 d. 1-31-1977)
The last listing is my grandfather.
I hope this offers some assistance, and I appreciate any corrections and/or updates.

Dave Yost
