Barbara Yoder
Barbara Beiler Yoder (BY-1) was the eldest child of Jacob Beiler’s
second marriage to a lady named Veronica.
Barbara was born in 1723 in Europe.
Barbara married Christian Yoder (YR-12).
He was also known as “Hamburg Christian”, to distinguish him
from other Christian Yoder men at the time, because he lived near
the village of Hamburg in Berks County.
They had the following children:

they are shown as living in Bedford (now Somerset) County,

Christian and Barbara Yoder settled in Tilden Township, Berks
County, Pennsylvania where they warranted a 287.25 acre parcel on
October 19, 1743.
Christian died in 1771 or 1772 and his will outlined his desires.
Viz “That my one dear and worthy Wife, Barbara Joder, shall
have my said estate under her care and manage the same as long as it
is agreeable to her and the children shall be obedient
according to their Duty,”
She chose to remain on the home place and raise the children.
She paid taxes in Berks County in 1779, 1780 and 1781.
She died in 1781.
Her burial place is uncertain.
