    Notes:

    Jakob embarked at Bremen on the maiden voyage of the steamship Ems, arriving at Castle Garden, N.Y. July 14, 1884. He may be the Jacob Jordy, born in Germany, who was naturalized at the Tazewell County Courthouse in Pekin March 23, 1896. Gary L. Yordy proposes that he is also shown on the 1900 census of Cincinnati, Tazewell County as Jacob Yordy, a boarder in the home of Charles Bailey. He is described as a 45-year-old farm laborer, born in Germany in September 1854, whose parents were born in Germany, and who immigrated in 1884.

    Notes:

    Barbara Jordy/Yordy was born Dec. 14, 1853, and died at Morton Sept. 20, 1894. Her headstone gives no birthdate, but only her age at death, 42. She became the third wife of Christian Eigsti.
    —————
    Barbara brought one son, Christian, to the marriage. Barbara and Christian Eigsti had no children of their own.

    Woodford County Marriage Registry, Book 1, page 142 shows on October 1, 1888, four years after her arrival in America, Barbara Yordy was married to Christian Eigsti by Amish Bishop Christian Ropp in Roanoke township at the home of Peter Yordy. She listed her age as 37 years at the time of her marriage. It was her first marriage and his third. Barbara listed her residence as Roanoke Township, while Christian Eigsti lived in Morton Township, Tazewell County. Barbara listed her parents as Jacob Yordy and Magdalena Shants. Christian listed his parents as Nicolas Eigsti and Barbara Gascho. Barbara Yordy Eigsti died on September 20, 1894. She and Christian Eigsti had no children of their own. Both are buried in Pleasant Grove Cemetery in Elm Grove Township.

    Although to date there is no proven biological relationship between Barbara or Chris H. Yordy and the Yordy siblings of central Illinois, it is very likely that some biological relationship existed. The record indicates that Barbara and Chris H. lived with Peter and Mary Yordy in Woodford County when they arrived in America. Because she had an illegitimate child, she was not allowed to marry in the church. However, she followed Amish tradition by marrying Christian Eigsti in her “residence” … the home of Peter Yordy in Roanoke Township. These findings strongly suggest that Barbara was related to Peter Yordy (and thus to Christian Yotty and Jacobina Yordy Yeackley Ropp Krug) … possibly a niece.

    Barbara’s illegitimate son, Chris H. Yordy, married Lena Staker on February 16, 1904 in Morton. He died on February 27, 1958 in Morton and is buried in the Pleasant Grove Cemetery. He was the progenitor of the “Morton Yordy’s”.
