Notes:

A partial History has birth date as 1860.

The will of Francis Yarnell was probated June 2, 1721 in Chester Co., Pennsylvania.

Francis Yarnall and his brother Philip came to America in 1683, a year after William Penn had taken possession of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Francis Yarnall first settled in Springfield Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania on a tract of one hundred acres of land which had been surveyed to him on 17 Oct 1683 and patented February 6, 1683. This was about a mile from Springfield meeting of the Society of Friends on the road to Clifton.

Subsequently, Francis purchased 510 acres in Willistown Township adding the land of Edgemont and extending westward from Crum Creek nearly two miles.

November, 28, 1703 he obtained a patent for 400 acres next to the Indians' lands in Willistown township. He there continued to reside until his death in 1721, in old records he is spoken of as "of Stone Creek head". He had been identified with the Society of Friends before leaving England and he continued in affiliation with that society throughout the period of his life. he was a member first of Darby Monthly Meeting and later of Chester Monthly Meeting.

He was chosen a member of the Provincial Assembly in 1711 as a representative from Chester county and must have been a man of influence and ability, for men of Mediocre talents were rarely chosen as legislators in Colonial days. he was a young man when he came to America and he spent three years after his arrival in the New World in the development of a home and the acquiring of some little wealth before entering the bound of wedlock.

Finally in l686 he married Hannah Baker by whom he had nine children to-wit: Sarah, John, Peter, Moses, Francis, Joseph, Amos, Daniel, and Mordecai.

The representatives of these branches have been very numerous.

Daniel Yarnall, who was born September 1, 1703, and died December 24, 1726, was the only one of the nine who did not marry.

Sarah Yarnall was born July 28 1687, was married to Samuel Askew.

John yarnall was born 24 Dec 1688, was twice married first to Ann Coppock and secondly to Jane Thomas. john was elected county commission of Chester county in 1741.

Peter Yarnall the next younger brother, who was born in October 1690 , married Alice Worrilow.

Moses yarnall, who was born in October, 1682, married Dowse Davis, a son of the latter David Yarnall was by his wife Sarah, the father of Priscilla yarnall who married Francis Townsend, born November 17, 1764, died December 16, 1816. A grandson of Joseph Townsend who came to Pennsylvania about 1715 and a grand-nephew of Richard Townsend, a fellow passenger with William Penn on the "Welcome" in 1682.

it was the marriage of Priscilla that connected these two of the oldest families of Pennsylvania.

The Townsend family are among the most eminent citizens of Pennsylvania. Washington Townsend, born January 20, 1813, died March 18, 1894, served four terms in Congress from Chester County, and was otherwise a noted figure in public life.

Francis Yarnall, fourth son, was born February 24, 1694, and like the Elder Yarnall was a member of Pennsylvania Assembly, and was returned annually from 1743 to 1748, both inclusive. In 1755 he was a contributor to the Pennsylvania hospital. He was twice married; first to Mary Baker and secondly to Mary Morris.

Joseph Yarnall was born Jul 13, 1697, married Mary Townsend, who was born Jul 15, 1702. She was the widow of Amos Townsend. Joseph moved to Philadelphia and was of the earliest of the Yarnalls to establish himself in the Quaker city.

Amos Yarnall, who was born March 26, 1700 was a man of prominence in Chester County where he was born, lived, and where he died December 4, 1789, and where his descendants continue to occupy the original grant of 500 acres in the lower part of the township of Williston and for which he received a warrant August 2, 1737.

Francis married Baker, Hannah on 4 Aug 1686 in Willistown Township, Chester, Pennsylvania, USA. Hannah (daughter of Baker, John Ferguson and Woodward, Mary Lu) was born in 1660 in Edgmond, Shropshire, England; was christened on 26 Jan 1663 in Edgmond, Shropshire, England; died on 17 Jun 1713 in Willistown Township, Chester, Pennsylvania, USA; was buried after 17 Jul 1713 in Willistown Township, Chester, Pennsylvania, USA.

John was the son of Cadwalader Hugh and Gwen Verch Williams. He was born in Yspytty Evan Parish, Denbigh, Wales, United Kingdom.

John Hugh, a farmer, and Martha Caimot were married in Merionethshire, Wales about 1680. This Quaker family produced 3 children named Jane, Rowland and Ellis Hughes. All born in Wales. John's first wife is believed to have died enroute during her immigration voyage to Pennsylvania.

As with most other Welsh and English Quaker families, religion probably drove John's 1698 decision to migrate to Pennsylvania. He and his many neighbors who migrated around the same time undoubtedly sought to take advantage of the fortuitous availability of good land in Quaker Pennsylvania, which William Penn (a Quaker) had established in 1681, to escape rugged persecution of Quakers by the Church of England.

John and his children arrived in America on 17 Jul 1698 aboard the ship "Robert and Elizabeth". John is listed as one of the original purchasers in 11,450 acre tract known as Gwynedd. He acquired 648 acres for his own use.

About 1701 John married a second time to a Eleanor "Ellen" Ellis. They had 2 children; Margaret "Mary" b.1702 and Gainor Hughes b.1704. Ellen died about 1716.

John Hughes married for a third time to an Ellen Williams on 12 Feb 1717 in Upper Radnor Twp., Montgomery Co., PA. All that is known about his third Quaker wife is that she was born about 1670.

John Hughes was the first to be buried in Exeter MM burying ground. The meeting house and cemetery are about a half-mile north of Squire Boone's (Daniel Boone's father) homestead. Mordecai Lincoln, (Abraham Lincoln's 3rd great grandfather) was also a member of Exeter Monthly Meeting.
