We do not have any photographs of Nicholas Yost or of his wife,
Catharine, or of any of their descendants in the first four generations.
We have a photograph of a photocopy of the Will of Nicholas Yost dated 8
March 1787. In order to fit on screen, the copy has been reduced in
size. There are three pages to the Will, and the photos will take a
few seconds to download due to file size.
