512. PeterPetterson (Yocum) JOCHIM was born 1653 in Aronameck Plantation, Kingessing Twp., Philadelphia Co., Pa. He died Mar 1699 in Pa. PeterPetterson (Yocum) JOCHIM married Judith JONASDOTTER on 1675 in Of Aronameck, , Philadelphia, PA. [Parents]

BIOGRAPHY: Peter Peterson Yocum, like his father Peter Jochimson, his brother John Hanson Steelman, his father-in-law Jonas Nilsson (Barb (Hays) Clayton's 10th great grandfather)and his grandfather Olof Stille, was on very cordial terms with the native Indians of the Delaware River valley. He was fluent in their languages and headed the only family in the 1697 Wicaco church census that had an Indian boy living in the household. That Indian was the same age as Yocum's eldest son.
Frequently Peter Peterson Yocum was called upon by William Penn to serve as interpreter and to witness treaties with the neighboring Delaware Indians confirming Penn's title to land for his new colony. Thus on 15 July 1682 Yocum witnessed an Indian treaty confirming to Penn lands between the Falls of the Delaware and Neshaminy Creek. A year later, on 14 July 1683, he witnessed two Indian treaties, one confirming Penn's right to all lands between Conshohocken on the Schuylkill River and Pennypack Creek and the other confirming Penn's ownership between Conshohocken and Chester Creek. Later, on 5 July 1691, he witnessed an agreement with the Indians confirming Penn's ownership of lands between Chester Creek and Duck Creek in present day Delaware.
As is obvious, Peter Peterson Yocum must have been one of the Philadelphia Swedes well-known to Penn. This is verified by Penn's letter from London of 16 March 1685 to Thomas Lloyd, president of his council, in which he stated:
Salute me to the Swedes, Captain (Lasse) Cock, old Peter Cock, and (Peter) Rambo, and their sons, the Swansons, Andrew Binkson (Andreas Bengtsson), P. Yoakum and the rest of them. Their ambassador here dined with me the other day.
William Penn thought highly of the Swedes,. In an earlier letter written in 1683, he described them as "a plain, strong, industrious people." In this letter Penn concluded:
I must needs commend their respect to authority, and kind behavior to the English; they do not degenerate from the friendship between both kingdoms. As they are people proper and strong of body, so they have fine children, and almost every house full; rare to find one of them without three or four boys, and as many girls; some six, seven and eight sons: And I must do them that right, I see few young men more sober and laborious.
With his growing family and a successful plantation at Aronameck, Peter Peterson Yocum's household met these specifications.
Title to Aronameck plantation west of the Schuylkill was conveyed by Hans Mansson to Peter Yocum by deed dated 29 April 1681. On the next day Peter conveyed 270 acres to Jonas Nilsson, his father-in-law. On 2 May 1681 he deeded another 200 acres to Nils Jonasson, his wife's eldest brother. Later that year Peter was back in court again on his boundary dispute with the aged Peter Rambo

BIOGRAPHY: Peter Peterson Yocum and his wife Judith appear to have lived at Aronameck throughout their married life. Although Peter owned land elsewhere-at Pennypack Creek, at Matsunk in Upper Merion, at White Clay Creek in Delaware, and for a short time at Cinnaminson, West Jersey-there is no evidence that he ever lived at any of these other locations. His family grew steadily. After Peter (born 1677) there came Mans (1678), Catherine (1681), Sven(1685), Julia (1687), Jonas(1689), Andrew (1693), John (1696) and finally Mary (1699). Apparently Peter was "land poor" and, commencing in the middle of the 1690's, was forced to convert some of his land holdings into cash. On 20 June 1694 he he sold 53 acres of Aronameck to Peter Justis. The "Hopyard" on White Clay Creek, home of his widowed sister Elizabeth Ogle, was mortgaged in 1695. On 10 March 1697 he sold another 50 acres of his Aronameck lands to Andrew Supplee, a french Huguenot widower who married the Swedish widow Gertrude Enochson. On 23 August 1697 Peter sold one-half of his promised 500 acres in Laetitia Penn's tract to John Hughes. On 24 November 1697 he sold almost two acres of meadowland at Aronameck to Andrew Rambo, a son of Peter Rambo, Sr.

BIOGRAPHY: Peter Peterson Yocum had been on close personal terms with William Penn. But after Penn left Philadelphia on 12 August 1684 to return to England, Peter became increasingly distrustful of the provincial government. Penn had promised him 500 acres from his daughter Laetitia Penn's tract in present Upper Merion township, Montgomery County, in exchange for the surrender of his land at Pennypack. The new land was twice surveyed but no patent was issued. All Peter possessed was a warrant dated 4 August 1684 promising him 500 acres.
On 4 April 1700 Peter Peterson Yocum signed his will, drafted for him by Benjamin Chambers, who was one of the witnesses. The other two witnesses were Peter's brother-in-law Nils Jonasson and Jonas Bjurstrom. Declaring himself to be "of Arrunamink" in the township of Kingsessing and "being now sick and weak of body but of sound mind and memory," he named "my brother John Hance" and "my loving wife Judith" to be co-executors. They were directed "to see me decently buried at Wicaco"
and, with obvious reference to his difficulties in securing a patent for his Upper Merion property (called "Mattsunk" in the will), "to recover my just rights and claims to all such lands as at anytime heretofore have been fraudulently detained from me." Of the 250 acres at Matsunk which he had not previously sold, he directed that 150 acres be given to his eldest son Peter. The other 100 acres were to go to his third son Charles on the condition that he "live with his mother and assist her in maintaining his younger brothers and sisters till the youngest be the age of twenty-one years." On the other hand, "if he refuses to live with his mother and be helpful as above said, then he is not to have the said hundred at all till all his younger brothers come to the age of one and twenty years."
All of the remainder of his estate after payment of debts and funeral expenses were "to remain in the custody of my said wife during the time of her natural life, toward her bringing up my small children. After Judith's death the remaining lands were to be distributed amongst his other five sons, Mounce, Swan, Jonas, Andrew and John.
Even before Peter's death his wife Judith had initiated action to implement the directives of the will. William Penn had returned to Philadelphia on 3 December 1699, leaving again on 3 November 1701. Before he left he was visited by Judith Yocum who reminded him of his promise to grant her husband 500 acres in Laetitia Penn's tract. In the presence of his secretary Penn reassured her that the patents for this land would be issued. Thereafter, Judith Yocum appeared before the Board of Property to plead her case. The Board's minutes of 4 February 1702 report:
Margaret (sic), Widow (sic) of Peter Yocum, producing a certified copy of a warrant from the Proprietary dated 4th 6 mo., 1684, out of the Surveyor's Office for 500 acres of land granted at a half penny per acre, in exchange for land he quitted to Thomas Holme, at Pennipeck, which said warrant was laid on part of Laetitia Penn's Manor, but never duly returned nor the bounds ascertained, David Powell having surveyed it 400 perches long and 200 broad on Schuylkill, but Thomas Fairman 560 perches long and 134 broad, requests that the bounds may be ascertained and her due confirmed to her according to the Proprietary's promise, before his departure, in the Secretary's hearing, to whom he gave it in charge. Ordered that Thomas Fairman resurvey the said land and that a patent be granted on the return.

513. Judith JONASDOTTER was born 1658 in Kingsessing, Philadelphia, Penns. She died Feb 4 1727. [Parents]

BIOGRAPHY: After her husband's estate was settled, Judith Yocum moved with her youngest children to the 10,000-acre Swedish tract at Manatawny on the Schuylkill River in present Berks County, which had been set aside by William Penn to relocate members of Swedish families dispossessed of their lands as a result of the establishments of the City of Philadelphia. Jonas, the eldest of the three Yocum sons making this move, secured a patent on 22 February 1715 for 300 acres on this settlement and married Julianna (Hannah) Enochson on 26 August 1715. Andrew Yocum and his wife Elizabeth Trollup did not remain at Manatawny but returned to Kingsessing where he became a shoe maker. John Yocum, the youngest son, never married and died at Manatawney in March 1727. Mary Yocum, the youngest of the ten children, married William Morgan of Manatawney.
Also moving to Manatawney was Judith Yocum's brother Mans Jonasson (Mountz Jones). Mountz, who had lived between his brother Nils Jonasson and Peter Peterson Yocum on the Aronameck plantation, had a daughter named Christina, born in 1695, who married Frederick Schopenhousen. On 6 May 1712 Mountz deeded his tract at Aronameck, then described as over 102 acres, to his son-in-law. Schopenhousen went into debt and after his death this land (then described as 112.5 acres) was sold at a sheriff's sale to a Quaker named John Bartram in September 1728. Bartram later won worldwide acclaim for his botanical home. His home, including the core built by Mountz Jones, is still preserved as a Philadelphia park. Thus present day visitors to Bartram's Garden may get a feeling of what life was like for the Swedish residents of Aronameck in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Judith Yocum died in late March 1727. She was then about 68. Her will was probated at Philadelphia 10 April 1727 at the same time as the will of her youngest son, John Yocum, who had died a few days earlier. Her will describes her as "Juda Yocam" and she signed her mark as "H". In her will she gave her daughter Mary Morgan two cows, her bed and furniture, her wearing apparel, her side saddle, two pewter platters and four pewter plates. To her grandaughter Juda (Judith) Morgan, she gave a red year-old heifer calf. The remainder of her estate went to the children of her son Jonah (Jonas), who was named executor.
Unlike his wife, Peter Peterson Yocum did not live to see any of his numerous grandchildren. Through his seven sons he had at least eight grandsons and ten grandaughters who grew to adulthood and married. No estimate is possible for his three daughters; the identity of the husbands, if any, of his two eldest daughters has not been determined. However, by the time of the first United States census of 1790, there were over 100 residents of Yocum households in Pennsylvania, under variant spellings to be sure; and by the early 1800's, the descendants of Peter Peterson and Judith Jonasdotter Yocum had overflowed into the Midwest, moving westward with the expanding American frontier.
