William Yeo and Rosamond Green

Please read About Families before using any of the information on this page.

William Yeo (1816–1886, son of Robert Yeo and Jane Lee) was baptised at South Tawton. He married Rosamond Green at Tedburn St Mary in 1838.

The first of William and Rosamond’s children was born in Devon:
– Jane Yeo (born 1838 at Bridestowe, emigrated with her parents).
They then emigrated to Pennsylvania, where they had nine further children:
– Samuel Yeo (see below)
– Mary Yeo (born 1843)
– Rebecca Yeo (born 1846)
– John Yeo (born 1847, seven children)
– Sarah Yeo (born 1848)
– William John Yeo (1848–1917, married Phoebe Thompson Banfield, four children)
– Maria Yeo (born 1850)
– Jacob Yeo (born 1852, three children)
– Emma Yeo (born 1885).

Samuel Yeo (son of William Yeo and Rosamond Green) appears to have been born about 1840 but there is no corresponding English birth registration. So perhaps he was born during or after his parents’ emigration. He appears to have had a wife called Sarah, and to have had six children in Pennsylvania.
