He immigrated from England to America aboard the Bristol Comfort in 1683.
Francis Yarnall at first settled in Springfield township, on a tract of one hundred acres of land which had been surveyed to him October 17, 1683, and patented February 6, 1685. This was about a mile from Springfield Meeting, of the Society of Friends, on the road to Clifton.
Subsequently Yarnall purchased, it is said, 510 acres in Willistown township, adjoining the line of Edgmont, and extending westward from Crum Creek nearly two miles. The records also show that he obtained a patent, November 28, 1703, for 400 acres next to the Indians lands, in the township mentioned. He there continued to reside until his death, in 1721. In old records he is spoken of as... of Stone Creek head.
There is very little doubt that he had been identified with the Society of Friends before leaving England. Certain it is that he continued in affiliation with the Society throughout the entire period of his residence in Pennsylvania, thirty eight years. He was a member, first, of Darby Monthly Meeting, and, later, of Chester Monthly Meeting.
Few details have been handed down to us concerning his character and achievements, but we know that he was chosen a member of the Provincial Assembly in 1711, as a representative from Chester County, from which we may conclude that he was recognized as a man of influence and considerable ability, for men of mediocre talents were rarely chosen as legislators in Colonial days.
He was a young man when he came to America, and he spent three years after his arrival in the New World in the development of a home and the acquirement of some little wealth before entering the bonds of wedlock. Finally, in 1686, he married Hannah Baker, by whom he had nine children, Sarah, John, Peter, Moses, Francis [Francis married Mary Baker in 1717], Joseph, Amos, Daniel and Mordecai
The will of Francis Yarnell was probated June 2, 1721 in Chester Co., Pennsylvania.
