Christian Yoder Sr. and his son, Christian Yoder Jr. (1726-1816), Amish Mennonites, immigrated from Switzerland to Philadelphia in 1742, and settled in Berks County, Pennsylvania. John T. Yoder (1840-1922)--a direct descendant in the sixth generation--moved with his parents from Somerset County, Pennsylvania to LaGrange County, Indiana, and married Anna Bontrager in 1863. After several moves in Indiana and Mississippi, the family settled in Thomas, Oklahoma in 1904. Descendants and relatives lived in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Delaware, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Mississippi, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Idaho, Kentucky, Washington, Canada and elsewhere.
