I am the granddaughter of Porter & Clara Yocom and daughter of Edna Yocom Finnigan. I have been working on the family tree. The family of GGrandpa Thomas Yocom. Their parents Byane & Melissa Yocom came by Clpper ship around the Horn to Washington with their daughter Edna Dennis Yocom when she was one year old. They orignally came from Ohio and before that Pennsyvannia The GGGrandpa homesteded in the Colockum Pass area and then sent for the son & his wife and one year old Edna Yocom, but the took a ship around the horn. Either way a very difficult trip. My great grand parent were very strudy people. They carve a homested and survived raising nine children.
