Francis Yarnall


Corrections & Additions to
“A Partial Genealogy of the Name Yarnall-Yarnell 1683-1970"
Page 1 - According to the observation of Mike Yarnold, who lives in 
Worcestershire, the inscription in the window actually reads: 
"ORATE PRO ANIMA JOHANNES ET JOHANA YARNOLD UXOR EIUS"

Page 2 - The date, 4 August 1686, was the date when Francis 
Yarnall and Hannah Baker passed Darby Meeting the second 
time (i.e., second intentions). The marriage date would have 
been later in 1686. The original marriage certificate has been 
lost and no record has been found in Monthly Meeting records.

Page 3 - The husband of Sarah Yarnall, daughter of Francis 
and Hannah, is given as William Askew, not Samuel Askew, in Chester 
Monthly Meeting records. Mary (Smedley) Edge was the 
daughter of George and Sarah Smedley. Chester Monthly Meeting record gives 
Amos Yarnall’s birthdate as 1-28-1700 (i.e., a Julian date in 
accordance with the then current calendar. 3-28-1700 is the 
transliteration to Gregorian calendar. 
Mary (Ashbridge) Yarnall’s death date should be 
11/20/1745/6; i.e., 20 Feb. 1745 in Julian numbers, 
20 Feb. 1745/6 as dates are normally written in the later 
Gregorian calendar.
