Family History Beginners Board / Connecting U.S. and U.K. Yapp Families
« on: Saturday 26 August 17 10:58 BST (UK) »
Hello all,
Was hoping to connect with some U.K. Yapps to do a little detective work. I'm a Yapp based in Los Angeles, USA, and so far I've only been able to trace my Yapp tree to the early 1700s, when my branch of the Yapp family hopped the pond from England (Shopshire? Herefordshire? Gloucestershire?). I have DNA links back to that point (via a distant cousin also living in the U.S.), but nothing connecting across the Atlantic.
So my question to you is whether any of you have heard of certain Yapp family members immigrating to the U.S. between 1710 and 1750? My immigrating ancestor was supposedly named Thomas Yapp, born around 1711; he arrived in Cumberland, Deerfield, New Jersey, USA, sometime after he was born, and from there, he married and started a family. (My branch later moved to New York and then Bourbon County, Kentucky, and then to Vermilion, Illinois, before ending up in Kansas.)

Would LOVE to know if any of you Yapps is familiar with a migration of Yapps from Western England/Eastern Wales area to New Jersey, USA, in the 1700s?, but I've had SUCH a hard time connecting my tree across the Atlantic. Here's what I DO know about my earliest DNA-verified Yapp ancestor (verified through a distant cousin also living in the U.S.):
My 5x great grandfather, Samuel Yapp, was born in Deerfield, Cumberland, New Jersey, USA, in 1742. He married a woman named Susanna Hall, and she gave birth to my 4x great grandfather, Thomas Yapp, in 1778, also in New Jersey. (Wond
Samuel Yapp's parents are often cited as Thomas Yapp (b. 1711 in England) and Lydia/Liddia Mills (b. 1714 in New Jersey to Welsh-born parents). Thomas Yapp's origins have been variously cited as Shopshire, Gloucestershire, and Herefordshire. Not sure which is correct. Guessing the immigration must have been between 1711 and 1740. No further info!
