Michael Yoakam, of remote German extraction, was born in Virginia of an old colonial family, was married in that state and was one of the early pioneers of Knox county, Ohio, when the county was in its primitive condition, and the forest filled with game and Indians.
He was commissioned a captain in the militia, served in several Indian wars, and his family, on more than one occasion, were compelled to desert their cabin and seek the protection of the block-house for shelter from the savage foe. He died in Knox county, Ohio. source: Biographical History of Allen County, Ohio
