The 1840 US Census of DeKalb Co., AL enumerated the farming family of J. Yeargin (John B. Yeargin), age range 30-39 Y/O. His wife's age range was also 30-39 Y/O. This places the Yeargin family in DeKalb County at the birth of their daughter, Martha Jane Yeargin.

The 1850 US Census of DeKalb Co., AL enumerated the household of 49 Y/O John B. Yeargin, a farmer born in S.C., and his 45 Y/O wife, Martha (Crump) Yeargin, born in GA.

Yeargin; 9 Y/O Martha Jane Yeargin; 6 Y/O Emily Elizabeth Yeargin and 2 Y/O daughter, Parlee Yeargin. NOTE: Additionally, this census page reveals that 3 houses away was the household of 33 Y/O John Tabor, born in GA, and his 30 Y/O wife, Agnes G. (Crump) Tabor also born in GA. Agnes G. (Crump) Tabor was the sister of Martha (Crump) Yeargin. It couldn't be a coincidence that the households on either side of the Tabor family were Crump families. They were headed by 33 Y/O James L. Crump born in GA and 43 Y/O Bethel Crump born in GA. These two Crump males must have been close relatives, probably siblings, of Agnes and Martha. These families probably migrated together from Georgia to Alabama.
