The bible also contains this entry: "We moved up here the 4th of the 4th mo., 1804," meaning from Birmingham, Westtown, to Wagontown. It also contains this entry: "The babe we should have called Jesse was born the 1st mo. 10th day in the year of our Lord 1802, and died the 25th of the 3 mo. following." Isaac Yeastley was of East Bradford at the time of his marriage, but afterwards lived in Wilmington, Delaware, West Caln, and perhaps elsewhere.Raised with his children was a boy named Nathan Carter, also calleed Yearsley, and a girl named Hannah Hawley, supposed to be a daughter of his sister Patience, who married Robert Hawley. Isaac Yearsley and his widow Mary each left a will. In that of the latter, dated 10 April 1855, the widow of her son Jabez is called Ann. His first wife was Susanna, and Ann must have been his second wife, presumably. Testatrix speaks of her daughter Hannah, probably meaning Hannah Hawley. The children of Isaac and Mary Yearsley, supposed to have been born in Birmingham, except the first who was born in Concord. The Yearsley Family of Pennsylvania, page 11. -----
