• Notes

  Pennsylvania Archives (PA: 6:2:436-437) published a list of Captain George Longs (or Langs) Company of York County dated 16 October 1780 which included Nicklos Yost and his two sons, Abraham Jost and Nicklos Yost. Pennsylvania Archives (PA: 6:2:697-699) published a list of Capt George Langs Company of York County which included Abraham Yost among the Second Class and Nicolous Yost among the Eighth Class. —— Nicholas Jr. died before his father and that is why he is not mentioned in fathers will. I believe other children not listed in the will also died before their father.
