It is not a regular Turkish source, it is Ottoman tax registers of Rumelia. You can't find it any other language or something more reliable than it. In fact, there is no other source to get such detailed information, expectedly.
We know everything we need about Yoruks but the term's itself is confusing. Modern Yörüks =/= Medieval Yörüks. The early Yörüks were Beylik era Turks who are still nomads and didn't mix with Anatolians. Modern Yörüks are just Anatolian Turks who prefered to stay as nomadic until recently.More than that, we don't know much about Yoruks to begin with nor they were relevant before the Ataturk era. Νow Tatars settling in Trikala sounds bordeline ancient aliens.
Settlement of Tatars were already known among Balkan Turks. It is not surprising.
Why all these people left nothing behind besides a minaret or two?
Maybe because of they are all destroyed just after Turks leave.
