    Notes:

    Yates Tavern is located 1/4 mile South of Gretna, Va. === Yates Tavern is the only block-house standing in Pittsylvania County, Va. and possibly the state. It is located on U.S. 29 business about a fourth of a mile south of Gretna. It was built around 1750 and sheltered travelers in what was then a western wilderness. It is said to be the only dwelling in Virginia constructed with Elizabethan or Tudor over-hangs or front and back jetties. It is deemed a blockhouse because of the 10-inch overhang of the second story. Indian campgrounds were mentioned in deeds on Potter's and Reddies' creeks a few miles away. Saponi Town, near Altavista, was only about 12 miles away. The Yates family came to Pittsylvania County earlier than 1767 when both John Yates and John Yates Jr. were listed among the first tithables. It is not clear which of the Yates family members built the tavern. According to 18th Century Landmarks of Pittsylvania County by Madalene Vaden Fitzgerald and Frances Hallam Hurt, Stephen Yates paid a tax of $8.50 in 1813 to keep an ordinary at his house. In 1818, Yates paid the sum of $1.67 tax and a license was granted him "to keep a house of private entertainment where he now resides." The house is made from weather-boarding and has a rock chimney. There is a large public room with a rock fire-place beneath an impressive mantel. A smaller adjoining main floor room has an under the staircase closet. The corner stairway leads to a two-roomed loft upstairs. The English basement, half in and half out of the ground, has walls two-feet thick. It was in the enormous basement fireplace that meals were prepared. There is trap door access from the main floor into the basement. One of the first acts of the Gentlemen Justices in 1767 was to set prices for liquors and lodging. Overnight lodging with breakfast or dinner was six shillings, with the same for a horse. Brandy was eight shillings a gallon; whiskey, six; West India rum, 10; with Virginia beer and cider going for two shillings, six pence. Near the tavern was Pigg River Road which ran from Peytonsburg to Smith Mountain and from which Yates Tavern drew its customers. Several members of the Yates family are buried in a nearby cemetery. The tavern was restored through grants from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Virginia Landmarks, Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors and the late DeWitt Wallace of Reader's Digest.

    THREE LIPFORD BRIDES FOR THREE YATES BROTHERSJohn Yeardley Yates, William D. Yates, and Byrd R. Yates were sons of Samuel Yates and Mary (Polly) Davis Yates. They were grandsons of Stephen Yates and Lydia Parsons Yates, all of Pittsylvania County. Elizabeth Feline Lipford , Mary B. Lipford, and Julia R. Lipford were all granddaughters of Anthony Par Lipford and Elizabeth Robinson Lipford. John Yeardley Yates, born January 1, 1807 in Pittsylvania County, married Elizabeth Feline Lipford on December 16, 1825. Elizabeth, born December 1, 1814 in Pittsylvania County, was the daughter of Daniel Lipford and Elizabeth (Betsey) Robertson Lipford. Her grandfather Anthony Par Lipford was bondsman for her marriage to John. John Yeardley Yates and Elizabeth Feline Lipford Yates had thirteen children: William Anthony Yates, Henry Fleming Yates, George Washington Yates, Richard Davis Yates, Susan Jane Yates, Beverly Arnold Yates, Ferdinand N. Yates, Thomas Monroe Yates, Hartwell F. Yates, Elvira A. Yates, Mary Elizabeth Yates, John David Yates and James B. Yates. The family was living in Pittsylvania County in 1850 and by 1860 they had moved to Patrick County. John Yeardley Yates was listed on the Muster Roll of the 53rd Regiment of Pickett's Division during the Civil War, and five of his sons served in the war. Shortly after 1870 the family moved to Floyd County, where John died on February 16, 1882, and Elizabeth died on March 24, 1908. They are both buried in the Yates Cemetery. William D. Yates, born April 20, 1813 in Pittsylvania County, married Mary B. Lipford on November 20, 1838 in the county. Mary was born 1823, the daughter of Amos Lipford (who consented to the marriage) and his wife Elizabeth Frizzell Lipford, and the granddaughter of Anthony Par Lipford. William and Mary had eight children: Margaret F. Yates, Abram Yates, Eliza Virginia (Jenny) Yates, Rebecca Jane Yates, Isaac Anthony Yates, Jacob Thomas Yates, Benjamin G. Yates, and Sybil William (Sibby) Yates. William inherited Yates Tavern, located ΒΌ mile south of Gretna, from his father Samuel Yates in 1840 (Pittsylvania County Deed Book 44, page 157). William D. Yates died about 1864 in Gretna. After the death of her first husband, Mary B. Lipford Yates married William S. Yates, son of William Thomas Yates and Mary (Polly) Shelhorse Yates. Mary B. Lipford Yates died June 1873 in Gretna and her second husband William S. Yates died August 1873. Byrd R. Yates, born about 1823 in Pittsylvania County, married Julia R. Lipford October 27, 1842. Julia was the daughter of Amos Lipford and Elizabeth Frizzell and also the granddaughter of Anthony Par Lipford. Julia and Byrd had two children: Elizabeth Ann (Bettie) Yates and James Yates. Julia died 1846-1847 in Pittsylvania County. After Julia's death, Byrd married Perninah "Nina" Keesee. Byrd R. Yates died December 1, 1860 in the county.

    In 1815, with his son Samuel, Stephen Yeatts took out a license to operate an ordinary (an early American term for a bar or tavern) at the Yates Tavern (see notes below), in Gretna, Virginia. In the feverish days of 1777, Stephen took the oath of allegiance to the new country and against the King from Abraham Shelton. The Yates Tavern, called the only building of its kind in Virginia by the Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission, is unique for its jetties. These are second-floor protrusions of some 10 inches giving a bit more space in the upper floor. This little building, constructed in the mid-1700's, was home to several generations of the Yates family, who also from time to time took out licenses to operate an "ordinary," a sort of frontier bed-and-breakfast. It was strategically located along the old Pigg River Road and only a few miles from Hickey's Road, the first major road
    penetrating this part of western Virginia from the east. It is likely to have been an especially convenient stop during the Revolutionary War days, at which time Peytonsburg (14 miles to the southeast) was one of nine busy supply depots in Virginia.

    Stephen married Lydia Parsons in 1770 in , Pittsylvania, Virginia, USA. Lydia (daughter of Richard Parsons and Lydia Briggs) was born in 1757 in , Pittsylvania, Virginia, USA; died on 4 Oct 1805 in , Pittsylvania, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
