Known as John of Nansemond County, he was the founder of the Yeates Free Schools. He had two wives, our John Yates being the child of his second. Apparently the Johyn Yeates who received 20 acres with William Edwards in the lower parish of Nansemond County, April 8, 1711. Could also be the John Yates who received 150 acres at Pig Point, upper parish of Nansemond County, December 23, 1714. From 1711 to 1723, he appears in the court records of the North Carolina Higher Court as owning land on Cuscopernung River, appraising an estate serving as juror and taking a deposition. He had 400 acres in Nansemond County in 1704. Called Mr. Yates on Cuscopernung River in court minutes of Chowan Pct., N.C., March 29, 1718. Figures in other early colonial records of Chowan Pct., where he is once described as a justice and gentleman of Nansemond in Virginia. Said to have died after 1723 and to have had two sons, William and Thomas, born about 1680. Thomas patented 240 acres in Chowan District, July 20, 1717. William patented 110 acres in Chowan Pct., obtained through forfeiture of John Paget, lapsed to Henry Bonner in 1730 (?). Also patented 520 acres in Bear Swamp, ajoining lands of Samuel Patchett. John Yeates and William Edwards, 20 acres in the lower parish of Nansemond County, April 8, 1711, No. 10, p. 8. From Bishop Meade: John Yates, 150 acres at Pig Point, upper parish of Nansemond County, Dec. 23, 1714, No. 10, p. 231.John Yates, 356 acres in 1735. John Yates was educated in England and lived at the Lower Parish Farm in Nansemond. He was a member of the vestry at Glebe Church and a justice at the court.

Notes:

Known as John the Emigrant, John Yates embarked on the America to be transported from England to New England from London, William Barker or Barber, captain, June 23, 1635, when he was 20 years old. On May 4, 1636, John Yates received a grant of 150 acres in Elizabeth City county on a neck of land on the east side of the Elizabeth (Nansemond) River for transporting himself, wife Joan and son Richard to New England from England. (In other words, he was returning.) He received another 200 acres on the north side of the Elizabeth River for transporting four persons to New England, including his daughter Mary, in 1636. Thus, apparently, he made three voyages in one year. He is probably also the John Yates, 19, transported in the Hopewell to Barbados, Feb. 17, 1634/5 and identical with the John Yates, ship's carpenter, listed in the crew of the "Foxe" in 1646. He also received a grant of 600 acres in Lower Norfolk county on March 10, 1638 (Book 1, Bishop Meade's Old Churches and Families of Virginia, vol. I, p. 359). In a grant of Sept. 21, 1636, he is called John Gater, and his wife named as Joan Gater. His patents were renewed in the name of John Gater on July 26, 1638 (800 acres by now). With his wife's 200, he owned an even 1,000 acres when he died. He was churchwarden of Lynhaven parish in 1642 and died before August 1648, when his widow Joan was made administrator of his affairs by the Lower Norfolk County court. An Epaphroditus Lawson sued him for a debt in 1639, prosecuting the affair for ten years. He lived in what became Dorchester in Norfolk County on a neck of land bounded by the creek called Dun out of the Mire. His grants were on the Nansemond River in a place called Kicoughtan by the Nansemond Indians. Most of the land grantees were from Dorsetshire and surrounding area in southern England. He was a shipwright, or as we might say today, "ship engineer." His descendants moved first to Halifax County (Brunswick, then Lunenburg), then Pittsylvania County, Virginia. They also had land grants in North Carolina.
