| Notes |
- Lord John YATE's estate was proved in court at West Hanney in Berkshire 8 Mar 1541. (From "White, Jim. Richard Wells & Francis White Virginia & Maryland Immigrants 1635-1637"; Lulu Press, Inc, pp. 155-156)
John was Lord of Lyford Grange, Berkshire Co., England. Lyford Grange Manor was built by Lord John around 1500.
He was the Merchant of the Staple of Calais, which meant he handled transactions of wool between England and France.
In 1511, John was living at Andrews Court Manor, West Haney, Berkshire Co., England, which he owned. Even though he lived at Andrews Court Manor, he also owned Lyford Manor and Charney Manor.
Of Charney, Merchant of the Staple, and Lord of Lyford in Berks; Visitation of the County of Oxford. Second son and heir to Richard, Visitation of Berkshire, 1566.
An estate at Lyford, consisting of 3 hides*, was held of the Abbot of Abingdon at the Domesday Survey by Rainald, the ancestor of the St. Helen family, (and this part of Lyford followed the descent of St. Helen for two centuries.
In 1428 Thomas More and others held the land which had belonged to Philip de St. Helen. It was doubtless his estate which came to be known as More Place and appears in the 16th Century in the hands of the YATE family.
In 1501 Drayton Manor was conveyed to John YATE of Charney Basset (Berks.), and remained with his family during the 16th Century. This estate was not treated as a separate manor in later records, but as part of Dorchester Manor held in free Socage*.
In 1530 John Yate settled his Drayton estate on his wife Alice and younger son Thomas. Thomas (d. 1565) was the founder of the Yate family of Lyford (Berks.).
In the mid-16th Century he was one of the most substantial tenants in Drayton, paying 60s. 6d. rent for his land held of Dorchester Manor; at his death in 1565 he held 4 Yardlands* copyhold as well as about 200 acres, 9 yardlands called Drayton Farm, freehold, which was leased to Richard Pawling of Drayton.
Thomas Yate's son Francis succeeded him and seems to have lived in Drayton. By 1597, however, Francis's son Thomas had sold the farm to a Robert Doyley of Hambleden (Bucks.) and George Lazenby of Drayton.

The Manor of West Hanney was held in the early 13th century by Peter Malherbe was granted in 1233 to Hugh de Corneville to hold during the king's pleasure. (fn. 29)
Thirty-five years later it was in the possession of Peter Fettiplace, who died in 1443, leaving a nephew and heir John. In 1511 it was conveyed by John Fettiplace of Buckland and his mother Amice to John YATE [Lord John YATE, Esq.]. For several generations it followed the descent of the Lyford estate of the Yates, and it was finally conveyed by John Yate and others in 1670 to George Eyston and John Weedon. It could not be identified at the beginning of the 19th century.
