Yarnell or Yarnall

Researched the Yarnell/Yarnall family today.

John Tillery (1786-1840) married Rebecca Yarnell (1795-1889).

I was reminded of a website and a cousin I corresponded with many years ago (Joe Byers).
Tillery Bible  and Descendants of Francis Yarnall

Also found this old site of Yarnall family info:
Yarnall - Yarnell Family Genealogy
These pages aren't active anymore but still contain some fun information.

You can see photos of the memorial that includes John Tillery and Rebecca Yarnell in the Bookwalter Cemetery in Knoxville, TN here Find a Grave John Tillery 

 

Samuel Ross Tillery

This is a photo of Samuel Ross Tillery (1880-1958) and his second wife Emily Boone.  My husband is descended from Bessie Tillery, the daughter of  S. R. Tillery and his first wife Mattie Haynes.

S. R. Tillery and Mattie Haynes were married February 4, 1903 in Anderson County, TN.  They were divorced in November of 1906 in Knox County, TN. 

Mattie Haynes died in 1923.  I have not found a picture yet of Mattie Haynes, but hope one day I will.
