In part, Abraham Yeager's obituary of September 21, 1826, Chronicle of the Times reads, " ... an industrious and useful man leaving numerous family. Mr. Yeager died on September 9, 1826 at his residence at 509 Queen St., Reading, which was sold upon his death."

Excerpt from Biography of EDWARD YEAGER, History of Berks County, PA, p. 1492, "The Yeager family has been resident in America for three generations, the first to settle here bearing the name Abraham. He came from Wales at an early day and located first in Philadelphia, but after some years there moved to Reading and remained in that city the rest of his life. He reared a large family of children."

Do you recognize this family? I'd like to find Abraham's parents or siblings.
