Peter Yoccom (1618-1694) was part of the Swedish group of colonists sent to America between 1635 and 1640 by King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden. The colony was established on land which was later part of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Peter was buried at Morlatton Village, Berks County's first settlement site along the Schuylkill River at Douglassville. Descendants and relatives lived in Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas, California and elsewhere.
