JOHN YARNALL,
farmer, Moorefield Township, Harrison County, is a son of Aaron and Mary A.
(Bell) Yarnall. Aaron Yarnall, who was a son of Thomas
Yarnall, a native of Washington County, Penn., was born about 1783 also in
Washington County, Penn., and there grew to manhood. In 1811 he migrated
with his family of Ohio, settling in Nottingham Township, Harrison County, where
he purchased 160 acres of land, on which he erected a small log cabin, in which
he resided for some years, when he replaced it by a more comfortable residence.
The land was cleared by his own hands, and transformed into a beautiful farm.
He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church for many years, the services
of which society were held for many years in what is known as the Old Fiester
Mill, in Nottingham Township. He died at his old home in 1851; his widow
followed him to the grave in 1857. She also was a member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. To Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Yarnall were born nine
children, named as follows: Ziba, William, Aaron, Eli, Colver, John,
Nelson, Lydia and Mary A.
John Yarnall, our subject, the only one of the
above named children now living, was born Feb. 27, 1827, in Nottingham Township,
Harrison Co., Ohio, where he grew to manhood and was educated in the common
schools. Apr. 24, 1850, he married Miss Nackkey Rogers, and to this
