Pat, I only know of Esther Yost as wife of Jacob Artley, she was born 1775, apparently in Berks County, PA as that is where Jacob was born and Abraham, their son was born in 1800. Berks County at that time extended from south eastern PA into central PA, later many counties were created from it.

I enjoyed your "My space". I have been interested in photography for over 60 years and have taken thousands of 35mm slides 16mm movies and also Kodacolor prints. Currently I am into digital cameras and have not used my Leicas for about 5 years. I raised African Violets when living in PA but have not had any here in Florida in recent years. I still enjoy looking at the when I see them in the stores.

Have you tried Google, Yahoo, Rootsweb for any info on the Yost family. Have had some success by typing Artley in those sites. Also Rootsweb has a message board where you can post an inquiry and check back occasionally to see if you have had replies. I have had some good and some no good replies.

Have you checked census records? If you have access to Heritage Quest, you can view all the census records.

Brick walls are hard to crack, I spent about 25 years searching for Abraham's parents before finding out about Jacob and Esther. I knew they had several children but never had any names.

Thanks for contacting me, but unfortunately I have no info on the Yost family.

Hello Warren,
I saw your reference to Elizabeth Yost b 1775 PA. I have two brothers
(Nathaniel Yost b 1792 m Elizabeth ?? & John Yost b 1797 m Maria Von Steuben) who
are my "Brick Wall". My father believed that Joseph Yost might be their
father but since my father's death, I have not found any proof of that (it's
probably here somewhere in his papers where I'm still looking).
Do you have any information on your Elizabeth's brothers? (It apears she
would be a generation older than my John & Nathaniel.) Any clues you may have
that would point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Pat, there is a YOST in my LANTZ - LANCE family, circa 1800. Have you come
across my LANTZ - LANCE people?
