Notes

[September 2024, Pat Hatfield: He is a brother to George Yates. I believe he had two wives or either she is Nancy Ann....don't know. But my George has the same type of Lease for Life.. Joshua has a Lease for Life (20 yr. lease) that they both got out of. Joshua's lessee is Ann Edwards. He mentions wife Ann and a son William.]

September 2024, this is a targeted placement based on DNA. New information can and should change placement laster;

I recently returned from a field visit centered in Glasgow, Barren, Kentucky. This was a successful venture connecting with new friends, new research clues, new material to digest and a personal perspective of the region’s distances, terrain, and transportation corridors. I have a new appreciation of transcribed lists and findings, even those I have read many times previously. Because any advancement on a Yates line helps the understanding of all Yates lines, I have included you on this update. Clearly when any better information are found, adjustments will be made accordingly.

George Woodford Yates, Sr. was born on 2 Jul 1773 in Culpepper, Virginia (son of John Yates and Elizabeth Betsey Gaines); died in 1835 in Barren, Kentucky. George married Elizabeth Larimer Browning on 28 Nov 1793 in Culpepper, Virginia. Elizabeth (daughter of Charles H. Browning and Mary Wade Strother) was born on 24 Jul 1774 in Culpepper, Virginia.

I have a much better appreciation that when George’s parents migrated to Kentucky, they settle but a few miles from their son(s) already present in Kentucky. John Yates was born on 2 Jul 1750 in Caroline, Virginia (son of George4 Yates and Frances Fielding Lewis); died on 4 Jul 1823 in Adair, Kentucky. John married Elizabeth Betsey Gaines in 1772 in Culpepper, Virginia. Elizabeth (daughter of Francis Gaines and Dorothy Boswell) was born in 1757 in Caroline, Virginia; died in 1820 in Adair, Kentucky.

I now presume that John and Betsy had a second son resident in Barren, Kentucky. Samuel Yates was born about 1780 in Virginia (son of John Yates and Elizabeth Betsey Gaines). Samuel married Nancy Boyd on 1 Jan 1802 in Barren, Kentucky. Nancy (daughter of John Boyd, Sr. and Susannah Wade) was born about 1782. Children: George Yates was born on 17 Jan 1807 in Barren, Kentucky; died on 13 Aug 1878 in Pike, Illinois. Sally Yates was born in 1810 in Barren, Kentucky. [1810, married 1802, 1 Father abt 1784, 1 Wife abt 1784, 2 sons abt 1803, 2 daughters abt 1803, 1 grandmother abt 1765]

I now have search radar alerted for any Boyd or Boydston connected to the Yates lines; I think they preceded things in Barren, Kentucky.

The remaining Yates between 1800 and 1820 consists of my XXXXGF John Yates, his son Robert, and his son, my XXXGF John, Jr. Nothing stands alone as a fact while considering who belonged to whom and when. I believe there is a strong connection between all these Yates found. And, as this area was still a wild wilderness of the time, my presumption is a trusted family association would be of high value.

I will use the Yates DNA study to give suggestions on the probability of placement in a presumed parent line (https://tinyurl.com/27w8qh5l ). When you test with autosomal kits you receive a report of matches, these are all DNA connected relations based on closeness and generation age. We are thinking of probabilities based on an as large of a Yates cousin match dataset possible.

In this dataset, we have importantly excluded DNA matches that link to a distant ancestor ending in our ‘brick-wall’; this means any DNA connection that only leads to John Yates, Sr., is not in this dataset; we are only considering then, Yates DNA matches without the artificial cap of our ‘brick-wall’. This is the essence of the whole Yates Study.

This dataset, without the brick-wall John Yates, Sr, matches have 302 unique Yates ancestral lines. The mean average of centimorgans is 17 cM and is similar in any subgroup of the dataset. The first descending split within the descending lines is between George Yates-Warfield (82 for 27%) and John Yates-Tucker (51 for 17%). We remain mindful that DNA inheritance is random and variable, it only takes one to prove the exception.

Based on probabilities I have selected George Yates-Warfield (82 for 27%) as the split to target a targeted parent for John Yates, Sr. The mean average of cM for both split groups is 17 cM, so no marginal difference. Within the George Yates-Warfield descending lines, I have detected 5 prominent descending lines based on probability of volume.

Joshua Yates-Boydston 5 matches for 2% of the total group.
Michael Yates-Marshall 8 matches for 3% of the total group.
George Yates-Elizabeth Betty 14 matches for 5% of the total group.
William Yates-Tapp 14 matches for 5% of the total group.
George Yates-Lewis 26 matches for 32% of the total group.

Based on these guidelines provided by the Yates study, I will presume to find a logical parent for John Yates, Sr in the George Yates-Lewis descending line.

A book printed 30 yrs ago on misc Yates Notes. It was sent by Gyneth Riley of So Ca-think she is deceased. Guppy's p 575-shows Yates of Buckinghamshire, Cheshire, Darbyshire & Scottish border. Speeled Yate, Yeates, Yates; She sends Geo Yates II who m Rachel Warfield had 4 sons: Geo III, Joshua, Samue, Benjamin, Samuel & Benj settled in Loudon Co Va. Samuel had son Joshua SR in 1741, VA d Ky 1831, m Nancy Boylston b 1745 d 1824.

They moved to Ky ca 1785, lived for a time at a fort called Stroud's Station. Joshua Yates, Sr had 11 ch, among them, William b 1766 Benj b 1767, Elija b 1874.

He had son Joshua Jr who d 1849 m Nancy Higgins only 1 son, Larkin B. Yates b 1803, was a physician, they had 7 daus, the ygst Maria b 1815, d 1901 m 1831 Sam Darnell. A Mrs. Mary Adelaide Yeates Sould proved his Rev service (Joshua Yates Sr) & her natl no is 125470. she was living in Fairmount, KS at that time. She was 5 generations removed, Joshua, Elijah, Wilson, james.

Many old letters say--there landed in Yorkton in 1690 3 bros, George, Samuel, Benjamin. As the parents of these 3 boys were not married till 1700 & their 7 ch were b before 1709 when their their mother died it is quite obvious this is in error.

Samuel sold off his land in Maryland by 1758 and moved to to Loudoun Co., VA, where he died testate as Samuel Yeates. The will was written on 1 Apr 1778 and probated 8 Jun, following. His wife was Johanna (Jeanne) and legacies were left to children: Rachel Money, Joshua Yates, George Yates, Mary Money, Frances Simmons, and Benjamin Yates, also to his grandson, Nicholas Money.
