——
Not the same as Richard Yarbrough, of Petersburg who married Frances Mason in London and who became a landowner in Amelia CountyL
“ Absent records of King William County, we can never know for certain who all Richard's children were. We know John and Richard were sons and we presume the other men in the next generation in that county 'William, Charles, and Edward' were his sons. In Amelia County, where William Yarbrough settled, were two other men named Yarbrough, undoubtedly connected with William. We have placed them as his brothers, sons of Richard Yarbrough. Together, Henry Yarbrough and Thomas Yarbrough secured a patent to 800 acres in Amelia County on the south side of the Nottoway River 10 June 1740 the same day William got his patent in Amelia County. Henry and Thomas evidently split the patent in half. Both Thomas and Henry witnessed the will of Moses Yarbrough . With James Jeter, husband of Priscilla Yarbrough , they witnessed the will of Matthew Wallis. - from Virginians - the Family History of John W.

I live in the area and know some of the family. I think their is a connection from these Upstate Yarboroughs to the Pee Dee region ones (Florence County formerly Marion County)- family of race car driver Cale Yarborough as I recall. I will run the threads after I get through with the Carmichaels of Marion and Dillon County. They are wearing me out.
