The Yarbrough started their journey from Virginia, Between 1750 and1780 there was a wave of migration toward the Carolina. Many reasons for this have been sighted by other genealogists, such as,the land no longer produced the tobacco crops or other crops as abundantly as in the past. History shows there was an epidemic of smallpox which wiped out some families. Fear of this urged the people to seek the virginia soil and unpopulated areas of that part of No rth Carolina which the Federal Government opened, Indian lands, to the white settlers. North Carolina did not become a state until 1789.

  Samuel Monroe Yarbrouh was a corporal in the 101st Screaming Eagles during WWII the 101st Air- borne Division, September 4, 1943, left Arkansas, the small town of Chickalah, this town's name when pronounced rhyme s with Tequila - "sha-key-lah"] consist of a postoffice in Magazine township, Yell County, 85 miles northwest of Little Rock, 11 northeast of Danville, and 9 southwest of Dardanell. Sam packed and boarded a ship in New York harbor and arrived in England ten days later. Sam spent ten months in the counties of Berkshire and Wiltshire, training six days a week. Units worked on close combat, night operations, street fighting, combat field exercises, chemical warfare, the use of German weapons, and a number of other military subjects, all in addition to demanding physical training, which included running with heavy pack on their backs and long hikes of twenty-five miles. In October, the Division began its own jump school to train over 400 new personnel and key members of non-jump units of the 101st. In January, 1944, the newly nicknamed Eagle Division received a third parachute infantry regiment, the 501st. In March, the 401st Glider Infantry Regiment detached one battalion to be a part of the 82nd Airborne Division. Major General Lee suffered a heart attack in February and returned to the United States. Major General Maxwell D. Taylor became the new commander. Meanwhile, the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force planned an invasion of Northern France, codenamed Operation OVERLORD. The mission of the 101st was to jump in before the waterborne invasion forces landed on an area designated as UTAH Beach. The paratroopers would secure exits from the beachhead and prevent thes e areas from receiving German reinforcements. In preparation for its mission, the 101st participated in three Army-wide exercises: BEAVER, TIGER, and EAGLE. I n May, elements of the Division began leaving their training areas for the airf ields and marshaling areas. They would not assemble again until they met on the drop zones of France."

The Domesday Book was commissioned in December 1085 by William the Conqueror, who invaded England in 1066. The first draft was completed in August 1086 and contained records for 13,418 settlements in the English counties south of the rivers Ribble and Tees (the border with Scotland at the time). The original Domesday Book has survived over 900 years of English history and is currently housed in a specially made chest at London's Public Record Office in Kew, London.
