Information on Isaac Yoakum

"George YOAKUM died on Oct 28, 1800 intestate in GRAINGER County, Tennessee. Not having a will the court must appoint someone to administer his estate. The widow in such cases usually was given the option to administer estates of deceased husbands, if she was able to do so. On May 18, 1801, the GRAINGER County Court "Ordered that Martha YOKUM & Isaac YOKUM have the right of Administration on the Estate of George YOKUM Deceased who -- Gave John VAN BEBBER & Robert HOWARD their Securities accordingly."
In trying to identify this Martha, later researchers suggested that this was the wife of Isaac, the oldest son of George and Margaret. The YOAKUM Bible did not identify the name of Isaac's wife; only that she was a DAVIS. She was then named as being Martha DAVIS. Research has shown that the wife of Isaac was not Martha DAVIS, but Mary DAVIS, the daughter of Aaron and Rachel DAVIS, of Powell Valley."
