Amanda was the daughter of George & Emma (Chester) Yapp. Her parents emigrated to the U.S. from England in 1835. Her father George was a carpenter who worked for the early railroad, building railroad cars. In order to stay employed George found it necessary to relocate often, therefore the family lived in various places including New York, Connecticut, Iowa & Illinois.
