Origin of our Name
Yarbrough is one of the oldest names in English heraldry, and appears to have originated in medieval Denmark. The late Raymond Yarbrough's nomograph is well worth reading, as is the late Senator Ralph Yarborough's discussion of three notable family myths.

Richard the Immigrant
"Old Richard" Yarborough, 1615 - 1702, is believed to be the earliest Yarborough immigrant to the New World. For a time it was believed that his spouse was one Frances Proctor. This has been disproven, although there was a Richard Yo. who was married to Frances Proctor; however, records show that he (and she) never left England.
