  • Mary Walton Yerkes was born about 1720 in the Manor of Moreland, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. It is now Upper Moreland Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. She was the daughter of Caleb Walton.

    She married Josiah Yerkes about 1747. Their children and life together are described in detail in the section on Josiah and Mary Yerkes.

    She probably died before Josiah, because she was not named in his will.

    The Manor of Moreland was composed of a tract of ten thousand acres, and was created, in 1682, by a grant from William Penn to Dr. Nicholas More. Most of the Manor was in Philadelphia County, but is now Moreland Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
