First Generation of Youmans in the New World
Yeomans roots go back to Christopher Yeamans from Middlesex England. We are not sure why the Yeomans/Youmans emigrated from England.
Christopher Youmans, b. ca. 1638 in England, immigrated to America in 1656, settling on Long Island New York Province, near Madman's Neck. He m. Hannah (---) about 1662. Based on an inheritance from his brother William Yeamans, England is identified as his homeland. Based on his brother's will, the surname was originally "Yeamans". The most likely reason for the spelling change is that Christopher resided in a Dutch County and this is how the Dutch spell the English name Yeamans or Yeomans.
Known Children of Christopher Youmans (Yeamans): Moses, Christopher, Solomon, Hannah, John, Thomas, Sarah, Mary and William. Christopher moved to Rye, Westchester Co., New York Province in ca. 1720.
Christopher’s descendants prospered, and continued to move up the Hudson between New York Province and Connecticut. Stories of the Youmans/Yeomans families in Dutchess County, Albany County, and many other New York counties are numerous. They participated in all the major wars, settled the land, and were some of the early pioneers moving ever westward.
