Thomas Newton Yarberry married Elizabeth Renfro, daughter of John Renfro, in Gibson County, Tennessee in 1841.
Their known children are as follows:
1. Mary A. Lavinia Yarberry b. c. 1843
2. John Newton Yarberry b. c. 1844
3. Joseph Abner Yarberry b. c. 1846
4. George W. Yarberry b. c. 1848
5. Calvin Wiley Yarberry b. c. 1850
6. William J. Yarberry b. c. 1853
7. Nancy Emily Yarberry b. c. 1855
A surprising number of these siblings had death notices or obituaries. Their obituaries are presented here in the order in which they died.
1. Calvin Wiley Yarberry is said to have died in 1861. No death notice has been found for him.
2. Nancy Emily (Yarberry) McCullough married Talbert Fanning McCullough. She died sometime before 1900.
3. John Newton Yarberry died near Tucumcari, New Mexico on 30 March 1908. Unfortunately, his obituary does not provide any of the names of his family.
4. Joseph Abner Yarberry died 25 January 1919 near Arkadelphia, Arkansas when he was struck by a train. So far, I've only found references to the train accident.
5. George W. Yarberry died 5 January 1922 in Texarkana, Miller County, Texas. No death notice or obituary has been found for him. However, there were death notices for his wife Sarah Davis who died of burn injuries on 4 June 1912 in Miller County. The only stated family relationship is to her husband, G. W. Yarberry.
6. Mary A. Lavinia (Yarberry) Davis, wife of Eli Van Buren Davis, died 14 March 1923 in Tulia, Swisher County, Texas. She was the eldest child of Thomas and Elizabeth (Renfro) Yarberry. Her obituary names her husband, E. G. [sic] Davis, and her daughter, Mrs. W. J. [Mary Elizabeth] Hardy. It states that she had seven children by her marriage to Eli Davis and that two of them survived. However, at this point a surviving child from each of her two marriages. Those two children were Laura Ann (Bittick) Smith, daughter of John Washington Bittick, and Mary Elizabeth (Davis) Hardy, daughter of Eli Van Buren Davis. The 1900 U.S. census states that she was the mother of six live births with four surviving at that time. This means that she had two to three other children who likely were born and died between census years.
7. William J. Yarberry died 4 January 1932 and is buried in Hempstead County, Arkansas. Unfortunately, his obituary does not name any other family members.
