    I am looking for information on ancestors of Samuel Yorks (1827-abt. 1900), supposedly born near Jonestown, Columbia Co and lived in Sugarloaf Twp. He married Mary, daughter of Samuel and Mary (Norberry Schultz). The Yorks eventually ended up in Twp Juniata, MI.

The grandfather, also named Samuel, was an early settler in this part of Pennsylvania and an officer in the war of 1812. Our subject's father was a prominent man, first a Whig and later a Republican, and the leading spirit in establishing the First National Bank of Danville.
