Gerry,
I also descend from John Yost through his son David G. Yost.You can email me directly at [email protected] to compare notes if you wish.I do not believe that John Yost married Adeline Cooper (at least not as a third wife); there is no source for this information other than a printed reference of Tazewell Co biography (sources not documented).
John and Christina appear as an older couple in the same household on both the 1850 and 1860 Tazewell Co, VA, censuses, and the John Yost household appears on the 1840 Tazewell Co census as well.
In 1850, they are enumerated in the Western District of Tazewell, HH 116, as John Yost, Sen [this has been abstracted and indexed in error under Zost, but the original shows the cursive capital Y], 73, born Maryland, farmer; Chrystena, 64, b VA; also in household are Julia Wilson, 18, Wm Wilson, 17.HH 115 is that of John Yost, Jr.
In 1860, they are enumerated in the Eastern District of Tazewell, HH 259, as John Yost, Sen, 83, farmer, personal estate value $25, birthplace presumed VA, and Christiana, 75, birthplace presumed VA.No one else in HH.HH 260 is Henry Yost, Jun; HH 257 is my ancestor David G. Yost; HH 256 is Lorenzo D Yost.
I have not found them on the 1870 census, and John's death date has been given (not documented) as 1866.I presume Christiana also died between 1860-1870.
I have no knowledge of a first wife Juliana Young to John Yost.Would you let me know what documentation you have for that marriage?The only marriage for which I find documentation for John Yost is his marriage to Christiana Woland in 1799.
Thanks.I hope to hear from you.Emailing me directly is best.
