Notes for MICHAEL YAGER: From "Beyond Germanna": http://www.germanna.com/Susanna_Clore.html Elizabeth Crigler married Michael Yager. Many records say that Michael Yager married Elizabeth Manspiel but there is no support for this idea. A detailed analysis of the church records shows that Elizabeth Crigler was the very probable wife of Michael Yager (Beyond Germanna, Vol. 15, No. 4, p. 869).

Notes for PETER CLORE: One source lists the father of Peter Clore as Michael Clore Notes for PHILIP CHELF: From "Germanna History", Notes: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~george/johnsgermnotes/germhs60.html These make some sense if we take a look at the families of Barbara Yager, the daughter of Adam Yager. Barbara married, first, Peter Clore, and, after he died, she married Philip Chelf. How does this help? First, we assume that the Nancy who married Daniel Beemon was a Chelf, the daughter of Philip Chelf. Since Barbara Yager Clore had several children before Peter Clore died, namely Adam, Solomon, Moses, Delilah, Elizabeth, and Susanna, we could readily believe that she was in her early 30's. Most men are also married by their early 30's, and probably even have children. We would expect that. It appears to me that a widow (Barbara Yager Clore) married a widower (Philip Chelf), and each of them had children from the previous marriages. Nancy was raised in the same home as the children of Barbara and Peter Clore. It appears she was on good terms with her step-siblings. Therefore, when Delilah Broyles was a sponsor, this was a stepsister. When John Yager and his wife were sponsors (four times for John, and three times for Mary), this was a step-uncle and a step-aunt by marriage. When Philip Chelf was a sponsor, this was Nancy’s father. Harmon Wayman married Elizabeth Clore, a stepsister of Nancy. The Susanna Yager was either the wife of Nicholas Yager (step-aunt by marriage), or Susanna was a stepsister, more likely the later. So, Nancy seems clearly to be a daughter of Philip Chelf, which makes Philip an ancestor of those Beemons in Boone Co., Kentucky. Now to find out something about Philip, and that is a good question. He and Barbara did not have their children baptized. And he did not have Nancy baptized and confirmed because Nancy could not take communion with her husband for a few years. So I expect he did not have the typical background of the Robinson River inhabitants. His origins are, to put it bluntly, obscure. (10 Oct 02)
