MARRIAGE: Francis Wickerd and Ann Yoho Marriage
Francis Wykert and Nancy Ann Yoho were married on 5 Jul 1810 at Belmont Co., OH, Book B, page 41. The entry actually reads, " March 21th 1811; Married Jas. Trible and Floraw Cree April the 25, 1811.; Married Henry Burton Rebecca Bushonan July 5th 1810.; Married Francis Wickerd and Ann Yoho they were Married according to Law by me; James Henthorn. Esqr."
(Marriage extract furnished by Joan Wykert Jukes)

[Note: Semicolons used here to separate each line of typed text as found on the copy obtained from the Belmont County, Ohio Probate Court on the 30th of March 1990 and certified by the Deputy Clerk. There was no marriage date on the line for the Wickerd and Yoho marriage. Reseachers are assuming that their marriage occurred on the same date as that of Burton and Bushonan, 5 Jul 1810

A Robinson and Mary (Davis) Ross were married on 11 Mar 1804 by Revolutionary War veteran, James Henthorn, Sr., who was a Justice of the Peace in the township of Salem - then Belmont county. James Henthorn, Sr., settled at the mouth of Sunfish Creek about the year 1798 or 1799. He was married to Elizabeth.

BIOGRAPHY: Biographical Sketch
Francis Wykert, son of Frantz and Elizabetha Shaefer Weickert, was born on 6 Dec 1785 in Reading, Berks County, Pennsylvania. He was baptized in the Reformed Church of the Schwarzwald by Rev. William Boos, in Berks County, PA. His family moved to Washington Co., PA and finally to Marshall Co. (W)VA.

Francis Wykert (aka Francis Wicherd) married Nancy Ann Yoho, daughter of Henry and Catherine Baker Yoho, 5 Jul 1810 in Belmont Co., OH (Book ?, page 41). Nancy Ann was born ca. 1790 in Marshall Co., (W)VA. Francis and Nancy Ann were the parents of eleven children. They owned land in Tyler County (W)VA from 1820 to 1831 (now Wetzel Co., WV).

The family moved to Burlington, Des Moines Co., IA in 1838, taking a boat at Wells Landing (Wellsburg, WV?) going down the river to Cincinnati and St. Louis and then up to Burlington.

They first settled in the wilderness where the only sounds were the howl of the wolf and whoop of the Indians. Francis Wykert purchased eighty acres in Burlington Twp. from the government. There he built an 18 x 20 log cabin. His thrift and industry bore fruits and two years later he was able to add to his real estate. This he sold at a profit.

In 1840 he purchased 200 acres in Louisa County, Iowa. This became one of the best farms in the country.

Nancy Wykert died in Louisa Co., IA in 1841. Francis Wykert died in Louisa Co., IA on 9 Dec 1845.
