Mordecai was the son of Francis Yarnall, from Cloynes, County Worcester, England, and Hannah Baker (married 1686). Francis settled on land in Springfield Township that was patented on 6 Feb 1685/86.
Francis and Hannah both appear to have passed before 3 Mar 1768 and are not listed in Mordecai and Ann Maris' [Shipley's] wedding record. [marriage-yarnall-roberts-1745]
