William Yates, his son, appointed one of the executors at the August session of the court (Court Minute Book 1814-1816). His wife survived and remitted taxes on land he had held.

Was Richard's wife Mary Pitt the Mary Pitts who was one of those to present his father's will to the court? jrbobyatesadded this on 17 Nov 2009
