Yeager-833 and Yeager-122 appear to represent the same person because: Hi,

Yeager-833 was one of my first entries into WikiTree. I didn't click into it being a match. Or I misunderstood and thought I was matching and make it a mismatch. Going over it again they are obviously the same person.

Levi's daughter Mary Jane is my g-g-g-great grandmother.

Thank You, R. Jason Everett R. Jason Everett
