Son of Jonathan Wesley Yarrington and Sarah Ann Spears, husband of Sarah Amanda Smith and father of Herbert C., Edward and Levi W. Yarrington.
Described as a boatman, along with his brother George W., when he registered for the draft during the Civil War in Queens and Richmond in June of 1863, and later as an bayman and oysterman on the 1880 for Sayville Township and 1900 census for Islip Township, respectively.
Obituary - Suffolk County News (Sayville), Friday, January 26, 1906, Page: 2 - John W. Yarrington, a life-long and highly respected resident of Sayville, died at his home on Gillette Avenue on Monday night, just one week from the day of the burial of his wife. Mr. Yarrington was born in Sayville 70 years ago, and has been a member of the Methodist Episcopal church for many years, of which church he has been a member of the official board for upward of thirty years. The deceased has followed the bay all his life. The funeral services were held from the M.E. church on Thursday afternoon, the Rev. Henry S. Still, officiating. The occasion was the calling together of a large number of the faithful ones, who, with the departed, had not met together for so many years in the prayer circle with a view to maintaining and perpetuating the spiritual life of the church, the fruitfulness of their efforts being in evidence at this time. The pallbearers were the above number, who in a manner labored with the departed, shoulder to shoulder, in the vineyard of the Master. The interment was in the Union Cemetery.
