Yarrison/Yarison Family   - [ Back ] [ Census Data ]

Possible/Probable? Early History - as of 03/03/2009.

From US Federal Census data for 1860 - 1920, it appears that Frederick and William(Wilhelm) Yarison, brothers I believe1, immigrated to the USA from Prussia/Germany. I believe William(Wilhelm) Yarison is my great great grandfather.
I have not been able to find them in immigration records.

Frederick arrived first, in 1852, along with his wife, Mary (also from Prussia), and Charles F. Yarison, the oldest of their three young sons. See 1892 article (which only mentions Charles F. Yarrison). Frederick's other two sons: Frederick C. and William C. J. Yarison, and his daughter Henrietta F, are believed to have remained behind in Prussia with relatives - migrating with them later, in 1856 - as recorded in 1920 Census.

Frederick's brother,William(Wilhelm), arrived in 18562  along with his wife, Melia/Meriah/Minnie (also from Prussia), and their son, William - who I believed is William G. Yarison4 (my great grandfather). I believed they also brought along Frederick's two younger sons: Frederick C. and William C. J. Yarison; and daughter, Henrietta Frederica.

In 1860, finally united, the families of these two brothers(?) lived in the Elimsport, PA area (Washington Twp., Lycoming Co.).
Thanks to information provided by researcher, Mary Carr, on 7 Jul 2004, who found them recorded in the 1860 Census as "ERGSON".
Her data indicates that there may also be a sister of Frederick and William (Wilhelm), too.

In 1870 Frederick and William(Wilhelm) Yarison and their growing families (including two sets of twins!) were living in the Elimsport, PA (Washington Twp., Lycoming Co.) areaA , except for Frederick's three oldest sons: Charles F., 27/(29), Frederick C., 23 and William C. J. Yarison, 20. They had migrated to the Sugar ValleyB  near Loganville (now Loganton) in Greene Twp., Clinton Co., PA. There, Charles F. and his wife Casha?/Catharine, 26, from PA, had a daughter, Margret, 4 and Charles F.'s occupation was recorded as "Ingineer". But I think all three were in the logging/sawmill trade. Back in Elimsport, William G. was 23 and not yet married.

By 1880, Charles F.C  had moved back to Elimsport, where Frederick D E , William(Wilhelm?) and William G.C  still lived. There, William G. was now married to Mary M. Showers (my greatgrandmother) and started a family. Frederick C. had died in 1873. William C. J. was married to Priscilla Grapes and had moved from Sugar Valley to Monroe Twp. in Juniata Co, PAF .

By 1890, although can't find much on any of the family, I know that William G. and Mary had moved to Sugar Valley in Clinton Co. and lived in Crawford Twp (north of Loganton). Their last child, born in 1886, was Simon Wilbur Yarrison (my grandfather).

In 1900, old Frederick(82) and wife Mary?(78) were living with their daughter, Catharine and son-in-law, William Greenawalt, in Loyalsock Twp, Lycoming Co, PA. Thanks to Belinda Keal for finding this for me, and suggsting they may be buried in Wildwood Cem). His brother, William(Wilhelm) Yarison is believed to be deceased, but I do not know where either of these brothers are buried. I cannot find Charles F., but he was still living - probably in Elimsport (because that's where he is buried[1924] with his wife Catharine[1926]). William G. and Mary Showers still lived in Sugar Valley in Crawford Twp. Clinton Co. and he was in the Sawmill business. William C. J. and Priscilla Grapes now lived in the Linden, Woodward Twp, Lycoming Co, PA area.

In Abt 1905, Simon Yarrison married Grace Viola Smith(my grandparents)... and had a daughter: Genevieve Gladys, (my mother).

NOTE: that this research has been hampered by variations in the spelling of the family Surname. I believe the original version was Yarison, and that it evolved slowly over time to Yarrison. Early documents have the name spelled both ways, and, e.g., my great grandfather's grave marker says, "William G. Yarison".
To further complicate this issue, both the families of Frederick and William(Wilhelm) Yarison are recorded in the 1860 US Census as "Ergson"! So who knows what the original German (Swedish?) spelling was!?

I am working on the family tree from our end. I am living in Wyoming now. Any info you can share would be wonderful. I just have what has been passed around the family. My records show Boise Arthur Kelly's mother as being Anna Vida Showers. Where did the Wentzel name come from? Julia was my great-grandmother. Her oldest daughter Rosalie was my grandmother. She married Guy Schrack Nicholas (my grandfather). His mother, Rebecca Ruth Schrack had a sister Jennie Schrack. I'm guessing by the paper I have, she originally married an Overdorf and then a Yarrison? They had two daughters - Olga & Betty. It is hard to follow the lines. I think Olga was a Overdorf and then married Fred Yarrison. Betty shows Yarrison name and then Wagner John and Rebecca (Heckman) Schack had 4 children. There son John R. had a daughter Nettie who married a Yarrison. It does not say who. The Jennie that we were talking about, it lists her as marrying the Yarrison first and had 2 sons: Merle and Boyd. Then it lists Overdorf. No, here's how I think it is: c. John B. SCHRACK (1813 - ) m. Rebecca HECKMAN ( - ) c. Daniel SCHRACK ( - ) m. Agnes WOLFE ( - ) c. Rebecca Ruth SCHRACK ( - ) m. John William NICHOLAS ( - ) c. Guy SCHRACK ( - ) c. Jennie M. SCHRACK ( 1874 - ) m1. ? OVERDORF ( - ) c. Olga I. OVERDORF ( 27 Jan 1898 - Mar 1987 ssdi ) m. Fred(erick) ? YARRISON ( 1893/5 - ) 2nd son of Lewis F. YARRISON & Mary Anna SCHRECKENGAST c. Betty YARRISON ( 1922/3 - ) m. ? WAGNER c. Agnes S. OVERDORF ( 1903 - ) m2. Lewis F. YARRISON ( 1864 - 1949 ) after his 1st wife died in 1910. c. Leonard L? YARRISON ( 1912? - ) c. Boyd L? YARRISON ( 1915? - ) c. Merrill ( or Merle or Daniel/David M.) YARRISON ( - ) ???? c. Nelson SCHRACK ( 1916/7 - ) ???? NOT SURE ABOUT THIS.... .... 1930 Census lists Nelson as Fred's nephew!!!! ???? c. Nelson E. SCHRACK ( 1868/9 - ) see 1910 Census PA, Clinton Co, Other Twps (Greene), ED #10, Pg 1, line 27 m. ??antha M. ??? ( 1867/8 - ) married abt 1893 ???? c. Raymond S. SCHRACK ( 1895 - ) ???? c. John B. SCHRACK ( 1901 - ) c. John R. SCHRACK ( - ) m. ? c. Nettie Sabina SCHRACK ( 1890 - 1948 ) m. Charles Franklin YARRISON ( 1890 - 1963 ) 1st son of Lewis F. YARRISON & Mary Anna SCHRECKENGAST c. They had 13 kids!

Things to Research Further
  1. Proof? that Frederick & William(Wilhelm?) YARISON are brothers. Evidence so far is:
    1. - they both gave "Barveria?" as their birthplace in the 1860 Census;
    2. - they both gave "Prussia" as their birthplace in the 1870 Census;
    3. - in 1860 they lived next door to eachother in Elimsport, PA area (Washington Twp, Clinton Co);
    4. - in 1880 Census, George F. Yarison (Frederick's son), is living with William G. Yarison (William(Wilhelm?)'s son),and is listed as William G.'s cousin!
    5. - is this enough?
  2. Proof? of Immigration year - Found in 1920 Census:
    1. - Charles F. - 1852...... 1920 PA Census (Washington Twp, Lycoming Co, image 9)
    2. - William C.(J.) - 1856...... 1920 PA Census (Woodward Twp, Lycoming Co, image 11)
    3. - William (G.) - 1856... 1920 PA Census (Crawford Twp, Clinton Co, image 3)
    4. - No data for Frederick (old), William(/Wilhelm?) or Frederick C. because they died before 1920 Census.
    Try to verify immigration date & place. Visit SUNY Bing. Library to view 1852-1856 Immigration Records. Also, try to trace their whereabouts between 1852/3 and 1860. So far, attempts to find them in
    Immigrant Ships Passenger Lists have failed.
  3. Proof? that Charles F., Frederick C. and W (William C. J.) Yarrison are brothers.
    I think 1860 Census proves it. See
    1860 Census
    Before this, only evidence I had is from 1870 Census for Greene Twp, Clinton Co, PA, Page 20, 16JUN1870; Image
    1. - they all gave "Sax C Ger" as their birthplace;
    2. - they lived in same household or near each other (in census order);
    3. - they are all about the same ages as brothers would be;
    4. - there are some special markings and tickmarks by their names?
  4. Need proof that young William is actually William G. Yarison (my great grandfather).
    Except for his tombstone, I have not seen the G. initial in any published source.
  5. Re: Continue 1860 Census search for YARRISONs in other PA counties.
    7-24-2004, received information from researcher Mary L. Carr to look in 1860 Census for "Ergson"... and found the Yarrison families [Frederick (old), William(Wilhelm)] in Elimsport area, as expected!!! Thank you Mary! Appearently the family name was changed from either Erghson/Ergson to Yarison/Yarrison somehow?/sometime? after they settled in Pennsylvania. Mary's info furthur indicated that old William's native name may have been "Wilhelm". This may help in researching immigration data!?
    7-16-2004, Found William (C.), I believe, in 1880 census for Monroe Twp, Juniata Co, PA ... as result of finding "William J. Yarrison" in
    Stanley Martin's website thru a search at GeneaNet.org
    The trouble I had finding him was because he moved him family from Loganton to Juniata in abt 1872. Stanley's data pretty-much matched my 'bits-and-pieces".
    11-11-2006, from the data, it's always looked like William C. and Willims J. were the same person. This is what led me to list him as William C/J. in the references above. But finally I've found a reference to William C. Jonathan Yarrison which make believe he had two middle names... and this solves the problem of C. or J.
    7-15-2004, Robert Russell Schadt [rschadt@kcnet.org], who has listed all the Cemeteries located in Clinton Co, PA, told me of a forthcoming book which will be a complete listing for every one of the Clinton county cemeteries.
    WOW! ... due out in October 04, maybe sooner.
