RESEARCHER: Denver C. Yoho writes:  Samuel Goddard of California submitted a large history of the Goddard and related families on 13 Nov 1899 when he was 69 years of age. His history has been a great help in researching these families. He probably made these records long after he left Virginia and errors have been found in them.

HISTORY:  THE SAMUEL GODARD LETTER
The following brief history is the memories and relationship of myself, Samuel Godard with the Yoho, Garner, Baker, Goddard, Fair, and many other families.

I was born January 13, 1830 on Fish Creek, three miles above its mouth, in Marshall County, Virginia, now West Virginia.

I wish to state that I was personally acquainted with Henry Yoho, herein mentioned, as I boarded at his home three months while going to school when I was about 10 years old.

The old gentleman would tell me Indian stories, till I was afraid to look out of the window.  One story in particular I wish to relate here.

When he was an especial associate of Louis Wetzel, Adam Poe, Simon Gerty [probably spelled, Girty], and other Indian fighters, and had their headquarters at Fort Wheeling, where the city of Wheeling now stands.

He and five other Indian scouts or hunters started from the fort one morning and rode down to Grave Creek, or Moundsville as it is now called, on a hunt for Indians.  They hunted all day and on their return in the evening about 3 or 4 miles above Moundsville, they were attacked by about a dozen Indians.

The man that was riding in front was shot down, and Henry Yoho was next riding a black mare which was shot through the neck and fell with its rider and falling on his foot, held him fast till the Indians got within ten steps of him, the other four men having fled.

All at once, his horse rallied and sprang to her feet and saved her rider.  As the mare rose, several tomahawks flew past Yoho's head, but he escaped unhurt. The old gentleman told many other Indian stories too numerous to mention.

Henry Yoho --- my great-grandfather on my mother's side, was born about 1765.  Raised one son and six daughters, namely---
George Yoho who married Jane Hartley
Polly Yoho who married Joshua Garner (he being my grandfather, on my mother's side.) (and of English descent)
Rachel Yoho who married James Buchanan
Elizabeth Yoho who married James Brown
Rebecca Yoho who married Nicholas Gatts
Nancy Yoho who married Frank Wykert
Margaret Yoho who married David Twible.

Said Henry Yoho had a brother named Peter Yoho and the two brothers married sisters by the name of Baker---
Henry Yoho married Catherine Baker
Peter Yoho married Margaret Baker.

Peter and Margaret Yoho raised six sons, namely---
John Yoho who married don't know
Henry Yoho who married Miss Buchanan
Louis Yoho who married Miss Cooper
Isaac Yoho who married Miss Mason
William Yoho who married don't know
Jacob Yoho who married don't know.

[The above is from page one. Old Samuel Godard then relates the names of many families in the area and then ends with the following words about the Yohos. Written by Richard E. Henthorn.]

[Note: The following is from Page 8, the last page of the letter.  Written by Richard E. Henthorn]
Now whereas my name appears in this history and all of my other business Godard and all the others Goddard except my brother Joshua is this.

When we were young men, there were three Joshua Goddards that spelled their names all alike and so to make a distinction between them and us, we dropped one of the middle d's out and have so signed our names ever since. Nevertheless, my six sons have adopted the old style of spelling the name, but I shall continue to sign my name short one d the balance of my days.

Now as regards the nationality of the Goddard family---would say--from the best information I can gather from all sources, the name Goddard originated in France and the Goddard people emigrated to England and from there to America and settled, I think, in Eastern PA until the days of John Goddard, my great grandfather, who settled in Western, PA, Greene County, as before stated.

In conclusion, I wish to say with reference to the Yoho family, that I have never heard, in all my life - reading or otherwise, the name of Yoho applied to anyone, except in the person of Henry and Peter Yoho, as before mentioned or their descendants.  I think they were of PA German descent.

They settled in an early day on the Ohio River or Fish Creek near the mouth, in Marshall Co., VA, now WV. and most of their posterity have stayed in the same county ever since.

As a rule the Yoho family was industrious good people and rather inclined to be non-migratory.

From the facts that I have understood, there were seventy-two (72) Yoho voters [who] voted in one precinct, twelve miles square, on the same day, in said county.

Respectfully submitted to whom it may concern.

This 13th day of November, 1899.

OBITUARY: Pioneer Northern Colorado Farmer Passes Away Unexpectedly Friday
Frank E. Wykert died at the home of his son, Robert Wykert, in Eaton, [CO], Friday evening, February 11, [1916], of acute Bright's disease and pneumonia. He had been ailing for several years, but the disease in its acute form lasted but a few days, in fact, he had only been confined to his bed since Thursday morning. Although well on in years he was full of energy, and had walked down town against the protests of his son and daughter almost to the last.

Mr. Wykert was born in West Virginia April 14, 1848. While still a child his family moved to Ohio and later to Iowa, settling near Wapello. There, in 1866 he married Miss Lorinda (sic) Hill. In 1881 the family came west and settled near Windsor, Colorado, where the last thirty-five years of his life were spent. Mrs. Wykert died in 1905. Three sons and two daughters survive the parents: Robert of Eaton; Theodore of Severance; Benjamin of Hereford, Colorado; Mrs. Ava Alkire of Fairplay, and Mrs. Harry Stiff of Stanton, Illinois.

When it was found that the father was seriously ill, Mrs. Stiff was summoned, but reached the home of her brother on the 9 o'clock train Friday evening, two hours after the father had passed on.

Mr. Wykert was a farmer, and there is only this to be said of his life: His children remember him as always under all circumstances a kind and affectionate father whose life interest was in his children, who loved his fellow-man and who had no enemy on earth. What more could be said or what richer heritage left behind? He died February 11, 1916. (Furnished by Joan Wykert Jukes)

BIRTH: 2 Jun 1737, River Rhine, Germany, per Vernon Anderson

MARRIAGE:
In a July 1989 letter Betty W. King; 1161 Nogales Street; Lafayette, CA 94549 wrote: I found a marriage record for "Frantz Wiekert of Reading and Elisabetha Shaefer" on 13 Oct 1783 in a book "Berks Co., Pennsylvania Marriages 1730-1800," p. 54 The marriage was performed by Rev. William Boos. In checking the Lutheran and Reformed church records for Berks Co., I noted that Rev. Johann Wilhelm Boos of Reading was the pastor of the "Reformed Church of the so-called Schwartzwald." ... At Rev. Boos' church I found the baptismal records of Frantz Weichart, son of Frantz Weichart, bp. 6 Dec 1785 (no mother's name), sponsors: Frantz Meyer and Anna Maria Graf. Also the record for Lydia Weickart, daughter of Frantz Weickart, bp. 16 Aug 1793, sponsors: the parents (again no mother's name). Also, the bp. record for Samuel Freymeier, son of Eliazabetha Freymeier, bp. 18 Dec 1788, sponsors: Frantz Weickart and wife Elizabetha.

Betty King continues: I tried to get a death date for Francis Wykert in West Virginia. The appraisement on his estate was dated 16 Jun 1825, Nicholas Wykert administrator, so he probably died shortly before that date. The estate amounted to $270.66. Sales of his personal effects were reported to Reason Biddle, Nicholas and Francis Wykert and Loyd Biddle. The estate was not settled until 22 Mar 1828 and the settlement reported expenses, among others of $3.44 for the funeral and $5.50 for the coffin.

According to the 1888 biographical sketch of his son, Theodore Wykert, he emigrated from Germany about 1761, settling in Pennyslvania, where he was married and reared a family of nine children, all of whom grew to mature years. They also married, and with one exception all died in West Virginia, this one being Nicholas, who removed to Kansas and died there some years ago.

John Baker

Various histories of the Upper Ohio Valley have accounts of Captain John Baker. These accounts agree in substance, but differ in some minor details. He was killed by Indians in 1787, and his son, John Baker, Jr., was killed by Indians at the same location in 1794.

"History of Marshall County, West Virginia" by Scott Powell, gives this account: "Captain John Baker was born in Prussia and came to America about 1760. He arrived at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and five years latter married Elizabeth Sullivan of that city, and from there the young couple moved to the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia where they lived two years and from there they removed to the waters of Dunkard Creek, now in Greene County, Pennsyvlannia, in the year 1767 and remained there seven years. At the time they lived on that creek there were a number of Indians residing on it and they and the whites were very friendly. At the breaking out of Dunmore's War he removed his family to Redstone Old Fort, now Brownsville. The American Revolution breaking out soon after the close of Dunmore's War, Indian hostilities soon followed the breaking out of the war. He remained at the fort a number of years, and was in the service of that Colony of Virginia much of the time during that war, but there is little record of him.

He went from Redstone to Catfish Camp in 1781, where he remained a short time and then removed to Round Bottom and in 1784 Captain Baker built a blockhouse near the upper end of Cresap's Bottom. This place was generally known by the name of Baker's Station. (Near what is now Moundsville, West Virginia.)

While two of the Wetzel men were at Baker's Station in 1787, they and Captain Baker noticed some Indians on the opposite shore of the Ohio River walking about leisurely. Baker getting an opportunity shot at one of them and killed him. The others ran away as if badly frightened, leaving the dead Indian where he fell. They did it evidently to deceive the whites, as it was proved later by their actions. Baker and the two Wetzels crossed over the river and were viewing the dead Indian when several shots were fired and Baker fell mortally wounded. The Wetzels treed and commenced to fight and some other men crossed the river and reinforced them and drove the Indians off and recovered the body of Baker. He had crawled a short distance from where he fell and was alive when recovered but died soon after arriving at the station. He was buried on a flat near a stream called Grave Yard Run at the upper end of Cresap's Bottom." (Furnished by Hugh L. Yoho)

Baker family

John Baker came to this country in 1740 from Prussia. He landed in Philadelphia, and in 1760 married a lady by the name of Elizabeth Sullivan. He later moved westward to a spot below Wheeling, W.Va. on the Ohio River, where he founded Baker's Fort. This is now in Marshall Co. W.Va., about one mile below the mouth of Captina Creek, which flows into the Ohio river near the boundary between Belmont and Monroe counties. During the Revolution, he served in Va. militia units at Redstone Old Fort (now in Pa.) under Col. Silas Hedges. This service has been accepted by the DAR.

After the close of the Revolution, the Indians continued to attack the frontier settlements in a last ditch effort to keep the white men from encroaching on their hunting grounds and in 1787, Capt. John Baker was defending his fort in company with the Wetzels, when he met his death.

The Indians appeared on the opposite bank of the Ohio River, evidently seeking an opportunity to kill the whites who had taken refuge in the fort. Baker fired and killed an Indian, and the other Indians, pretending they were frightened, scattered and ran in different directions, leaving their dead brother on the ground. Baker, seeing that his shot had proved fatal, and being somewhat daring, suggested to the Wetzels that they cross the river and examine the dead Indian. When they reached the other side, the Indians resumed the attack, resulting in the death of John Baker. The Wetzels recovered the body, and carried it back across the river for burial at the fort.

Capt. John Baker and his wife, Elizabeth Sullivan were the parents of the following children: John, Jr. killed by Indians in 1794; Henry Baker, who was captured by the Indians in 1781 and later married Elizabeth Parr in 1785, and then Nancy Swaney in Belmont Co., Apr. 24, 1825; Joseph Baker who married Mary Finley Oct. 18, 1797; Martin Baker born in 1773; Jacob Baker born in 1775 and died in Monroe Co., in 1861; Isaac Baker, born 1782, died 1886 in Taswell Co., Ohio, Margaret who married Peter Yoho; Mary who married Christian Gatts, and Bessey.

John Jr. was killed at the Battle of Captina in May, 1794, and an account of this is given in Hardesty's History on page 205. Capt. Abram Enochs was also killed in this engagement.

The deed records show that Martin Baker's wife was Sarah, and Hardesty's History states that he died in Monroe Co. in 1857. Isaac Baker married Ruth Brock, and he died in 1865 and she in 1844. Their son, John Nelson Baker was born in Monroe Co. Mar. 8, 1823 -- see Hardesty's History -- biographical accounts, page 9.

BIOGRAPHY: Captain John Baker
John Baker came to America arriving at Philadelphia aboard the ship "Neptune" from Germany in 1751 or 1754. (James Jefferson Miller stated that Capt. John Baker's father was George Perilous Baker and that John's brother Jacob came to America with him.) (1)

According to the family Bible of Benjamin Baker, John Baker's siblings were Henry (1731-1808 VA) married Maria Elizabeth Fink, Jacob, George married Elizabeth Strenger, Peter, Hannah and Betty. (2)

About 1760, John Baker married, in Philadelphia, Elizabeth Sullivan. Following their marriage the couple located in the Shendandoah Valley of Virginia for about two years and by 1767 found their way to what is now Greene County, Pennsylvania, at the confluence of the Dunkard Creek and the Monongahala River where they lived until about 1774. At the time that they lived on that creek, there were a number of Indians residing on it and they and the whites were very friendly.

When Dunsmore's War broke out, they moved to Redstone Old Fort, now Brownsville, PA. The family stayed there a number of years, and John was in the service of the Colony of Virginia much of the time during the Revolutionary War but there is little record of him.

About 1780 he migrated, with his family, to Catfish Camp where they remained before going to Round Bottom in western Virginia where he built Baker's Station in 1784 near the upper end of Cresap's Bottom in present day Marshall County, WV. This is located near what is now Moundsville, West Virginia. It served as a rendezvous for scouts along the Indian War Path from the Muskingham Valley to Virginia.

While two sons of John Wetzel (perhaps Lewis, the more daring) were at Baker's Station in 1787, they and Captain Baker noticed some Indians on the opposite shore of the Ohio River walking about leisurely. Baker got an opportunity to shoot one of them and killed him. The others ran away as if badly frightened, leaving the dead Indian where he fell. They apparently did it to deceive the whites as it was proven later by their actions.

Baker and the Wetzels crossed over the river and were viewing the dead Indian when several shots were fired and Baker fell mortally wounded. The Wetzels commenced to fight and some other men crossed the river and reinforced them driving off the Indians allowing the recovery of Baker's body. He had crawled a short distance from where he fell and was alive when recovered but died soon after arriving at the station. He was buried on a flat near a stream called Grave Yard Run at the upper end of Cresap's Botton. (3) In the account of the death of John Baker in "The History of the Panhandle" (4) the following is stated: "He had crawled partially under a log, lying insensible, with both eyes gored out.....attending his funeral were Henry Baker, the old Indian warrior, and family; George Baker, Leonard Reager and two brothers, Aaron Hughes and Capt. Roberts." Martin Wetzel died in the fall of 1812 and before his death, he requested that his remains be laid along the side of John Baker's which request was granted.

An historical marker was erected at the site of Baker's Station in WV and shows John Baker's death as 1787. The marker reads, "Site of blockhouse built by Captain John Baker in 1784. Rendezvous of scouts along Indian war path from Muskingum Valley into Virginia. Near by are buried Captain Baker, John Wetzel, and others killed by Indians in 1787."

Early in the 1800s Elizabeth, his widow, is said to have gone with five of her sons (according to Al Young) across the Ohio River to Washington Township in Belmont County, Ohio. About 1813, she and three of the sons located in Center Township, where from 1813 to 1833, Martin acquired land in sections 27, 28, 33, and 34; Isaac in sections 33 and 34. Henry lived close by in Range 6, Township 6, Section 1 and Range 5, Township 5, Section 20 in 1811 and 1813 respectively.

Center Township was wilderness when it was platted in 1812. John Windland, who operated a saw mill, and Jacob Windland, who owned the grist mill, decided to get a keg of French brandy and invited all the men within a five mile radius to meet on a Saturday and clear the land.

Elizabeth's burial place, Steed Hill Cemetery, is located at the site of the old Baker farm, located about five miles south of Woodsfield on Route 26 and 800 (now owned by Charles Bott, Marietta, Ohio). Martin Baker and his second wife are buried next to her. In the 1820 census, one male and two females, all under 16, were in her household. She was not naturalized.

Peter Yoho and Margaret Baker

PETER YOHO AND MARGARET BAKER

The historys of the Ohio Valley list Peter Yoho as one of the first men to settle the area coming in 1792. He is also found on the assessment rolls of Green Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania for 1784 and he and his brother Henry Yoho are listed on the Militia roll in Washington County about 1780. Peter was born about 1745 and died in 1823. His estate settlement on file in the Ohio County Court House, Wheeling, West Virginia in Book 3, pages 273-278 lists all of his children. Peter married about 1774 to Margaret Baker. She was a daughter of Captain John Baker of Baker Station at Cresap on the Ohio River below the present location of Moundsville. She was the twin sister to Catherine Baker who married Peter's brother Henry Yoho. Margaret died after 1830. They made their hone on Fish Creek, Marshall Co. They raised eleven children. Margaret Baker married Peter Yoho in 1740, her father Capt. John Baker was born in Prussia. Capt. John Baker died at Baker's Station of wounds inflicted by indians in 1787, now Marshall County. He is buried there. The railroad tracks cover the grave sites and there is a red cross or x where the graves are.

Peter Yoho was 29 years of age and Margaret Baker was 13 years old when they married. They raised eleven children.

Vol. 11; "Wheeling Intelligencer, May 1866" a reprint of a letter to the newspaper from Col. Samuel Baker, grandson to Captain John Baker. These marriage names and dates have been found in various records.)

(The articles of Captain John Baker and family were taken from the book of Richmonds genealogy and history. This book is located at the Moundsville Public Library, Moundsville, WV.)
