Isaac Yoakum (October 26, 1810 – September 22, 1877) was an early American settler of what is now the Lockwood-Tevis neighborhood. Yoakum had a large family which was part of a number of unusual events over the years. Yoakum also started one of the earliest schools in Alameda County, Lockwood School, in 1858. 5
Yoakum was born October 26, 1810, in Tennessee. He married Emily Bruce (Yoakum) (1811 - 1866) sometime around 1830, and they had at least 11 children. The family moved to Missouri where some of the children were born, then in 1852, they came to California, either with an oxen team 4 or possibly a herd of cattle.
