"Early Settlers of Lee Co. VA & Adjacent Counties, Vol II", p. 532, by 
Hattie M. Boles, reports:
"Two brothers, Hnry and Benedict YEARY, migrated to Southwestern VA after 
the formation of
Fincastle Co. and first settled in the Holston Valley, then Washington 
Co., where they were living
during the Revolutionary War period. "The records indicate that the 
YEARYs and BALLs, related
by intermarriage, emigrated from the Fairfax-Stafford Co. area of VA 
about the same time, and after
the Revolution moved farther west and eventually settled in Powell Valley 
of Lee Co." "...Henry
YEARY, Sr., served in the War of the Revolution from Washington Co., and 
in 1782 was allowed
fifteen pounds for a horse lost in service. [His] Revolutionary War 
service is of record at the DAR
Headquarters, Washington, D.C." 
  
Henry was a RW vet, according to "Harlan Connections" by Frances Y. 
Dunham, p. 35. (Call no.
976.9154.x28d, SLC FHL). 
  
Dates of birth and death from Ancestral File entry, submitted by Cecillia 
Calloway BURNS, 1408
Ridgewood Place, Lauren Ceville, LA 30245. 
  
There may have been other children, but they have not been found of 
record in either Washington or
Lee Co. 
  
A letter from Wes FORBIS (20 Aug 1994) says: "I have some concern about 
the death date of
1799 for Henry YEARY, Sr., in that son William, daughter Elizabeth's 
husband Moses BALL, and
son Henry are all noted as having received slave from their father's 
estate; these inheritances (?)
were all recorded in Lee Co. AAbstracts in the year 1816. If this is the 
case, and it appears to be
so, then Henry Sr. must have lived until 1815-16."
