Revolutionary War patriot. One excerpt regarding his military service is, per "New York in the Revolution," by Roberts, "The Militia, Tyron County, 3rd Reg't., Col. Jacob Klock, Capt. Christian House," among enlisted men, Jacob Yuker, P. 178." Jacob engaged in the Battle of Oriskany, where he was taken prisoner in the spring of 1780 and sent to Canada. He escaped from Montreal in October of 1780 and was able to make it back to the Valley. His name appears on the monument to the patriots of the battle as Jacob Yonker. His place of residence during the Revolution was Town of Palatine, now Town of Oppenheim, Fulton County, N.Y.
Many of the New York Youkers are descended from Jacob Yuker. |
