Obituary Clipping supplied by JET was missing a line or two and may have had its parts transposed.
"...Clifton B, and Rose Pulliam Young was born

Undated clipping sent by JET
"...Mrs. Annie Mcleod is in the institution [Mayfield Sanitarium, St. Louis?] and has been operated on twice. Her condition is very critical, but there is some hope for her. Mrs. Scott was looking well in spite of her anxiety and confinement and we sincerely trust this devoted mother may receive her reward in a daughter fully restored to health and strength."

Undated clipping [ca. April 14, 1897] sent by JET
"Mrs. Annie McLeod died in the Mayfield Sanitarium in St. Louis on Sunday and her remains reached Palmyra Monday evening. The funeral occurred at Bethel church Tuesday morning and was conducted by Rev. Mr. Stone, the Pastor. The large concourse in attendance attested the esteem in which she was held while living and the sympathy felt for her bereaved husband and friends not that she is gone. Her death is a peculiarly sad one and the HERALD can only join with other friends in words of condolence for the living.
"Annie Scott McLeod was born Nov. 7, 1869; united with the church under Bro. Berry in August, 1885, and was baptized by Bro. Dingle; she died April 11th, 1807." -- Quincy [?] Herald

Resolutions of Respect [Undated clipping sent by JET]
"Whereas, In the wise dispensation of providence the death angel has again entered the fold of the W.M.S. of Bethel Baptist church and removed from among us one of our beloved members, Sister Annie McLeod, who departed this life April 11, 1897, therefore be it
"RESOLVED, That in the death of our dear sister this society has lost one of its must useful members, one who was always self-sacrificing in the interest of the cause of the Master. Our loss seems most irreparable, but we bow in humble submission to the divine will of the Master. We know full well that our loss is her eternal gain.
"RESOLVED, That the society has lost an earnest worker. Let us try to emulate her gentle disposition and Christian character.
"RESOLVED, That we extend to the bereaved husband and relations our heart-felt sympathy in this their sad hour of affliction and commend them to Him who is able to bind up the broken heart.
"Done by order of the Society,
Mrs. Lucy Moore, Sadie Young, Maude Hansbrough, Committee

"How true to us are the words, 'We know not the day or the hour when the Son of Man cometh.'
"When we part with our friends we know not when or where we may meet again.
"Another loved one has passed from us but she has only gone to the bright beyond. Mrs. Annie Scott McLeod was born Nov. 7, 1869, and died April 11, 1897. At an early age she united with the Bethel Baptist church of which she was, until the day of her death, a consistent member.
"March 28, 1894, she was married to Hugh McLeod. Although their union was torn asunder so soon by the grim monster, death, it was a most pleasant one. To Annie he was most tender and true. Her every wish was granted if it were in his power. Keep a bright hope dear husband, you will meet her soon where friends part no more. To her husband she was a most loving companion. For anyone to know her was to love her.
"She has passed away from earth and has joined the host on high where Christ called her to dwell in mansions prepared for her and all who love him.
Daisy L. Scott"

A Sad Death -- Obit. probably from the Palmyra Spectator
"Mrs Annie McLeod, wife of Hugh McLeod of the Bethel neighborhood, died in St. Louis Sunday, where she went about a month ago, for treatment in a sanitarium. The remains were brought to this city Monday and taken to Bethel where the funeral occurred Tuesday. The sermon was preached by Rev. Stone of LaGrange, and the church was crowded with friends and neighbors of the deceased. Mrs. McLeod was a most estimable young woman and her death is peculiarly sad. She had been a wife only a short time and the bereaved husband has the deep sympathy of the community.

In memoriam. -- probably from the Palmyra Spectator.
"With hearts full of sadness and sympathy the Bethel Baptist Sunday School wish to offer a little tribute of love to the memory of their co-worker, Mrs. Hugh McLeod.
"And that in the death of our sister, the Sunday School has lost an efficient teacher and one of the most active and faithful workers, and in her death each member feels a personal loss, and while we deeply deplore the loss of our sister we bow with humble submission to the decree of an allwise providence, realizing that God maketh no mistakes and that he doeth all things well, and that all things work together for good to those that love and serve Him.
"And we join with her family and relatives in mourning for a true and good woman.
"We ask that these resolutions be printed in our county papers.
"Done by order of the Sunday School Feb. 17th, 1908.
Mrs. Lucy Morre, Ella M. White, Committee

[This resolution was in the Taylor notebook with the obituary for Annie McLeod; however, I suspect that it may pertain to another of Uncle Hugh's wives since it is dated 14 years after the death of Annie!--LKL]

657 Sometime before 1954, a number of Yeates descendents hired a professional genealogist, Harry Wright Newman, of Washington, D.C. The following is his report as transcribed by Annie Virginia Compton:
"The Yate family of Anne Arundel County, Province of Maryland, owes its position in America to one GEORGE YATE, Gent., who settled in Maryland sometime in or before the year 1664. He was a scion of an armorial family of Great Britain, which is proved by the fact that he willed to his eldest son and heir 'My silver seal ring with my Coat-of-Arms ingraven thereon.' Unfortunately, the original will has not been preserved to ascertain if he placed in wax his arms beside his signature -- a custom of the early Maryland gentry. Nor have any known private documents come down to the present generation with the seal to establish which branch of the English or Irish Yate families he belonged Further-more, no old silver has been found owned by the family displaying either the crest or the arms.
"It is generally accepted, however, that he was of the English branch, inasmuch as he was a 'cousin' of Jerome White, Esq., one time Surveyor General of the Province and member of the Privy Councill. During a controversy over a land survey of George Saughier[?], Jerome White stated on March 13, 1670/1, 'That the land be laid out by my cousin George Yate who is best informed of the situation thereof.' (Land Office, Liber 12, Folio 558, Annapolis.)
"'Cousin' in the seventeenth century signified a collateral relative more distant than a brother or sister and frequently meant nephew of niece. In that period, however, when one referred to a cousin in the present day meaning, the word kinsman was used. It can, therefore, be almost positively accepted that George Yate was a nephew of Jerome White -- presumably the son of a sister. This close relationship is further strengthened when Jerome White conveyed to George Yate for divers considerations unnamed a very valuable tract of land known as the 'Iron Mine.'
"Jerome White, Esq., was from County Essex, England, and was always addressed or styled Esquire, which indicated that his social position was directly below that of knight but above that of Gentleman.
"His kinsman, George Yate, however, was always styled 'Gent.', and a single instance can not be recalled when his name was not followed in public records with 'Gent.' He was educated, being well versed in mathematics, and a Surveyor for the Lord Proprietary. He always signed his name George Yate, yet it is noted that it was usually written as Yates on public records by clerks or other third parties, which would indicated that while he wrote his name Yate, he generally pronounced it as Yates.
"George Yate, Gentl., the progenitor of the family, settled in the Province of Maryland, at a date prior to March 2, 1664/5 -- the earliest reference found for him. On that day he is recorded as serving on the jury of the Provincial Court. (Archives of Maryland, Vol. 49, p. 393.)
"The next record of George Yate on Nov. 4, 1665, when he conveyed to Daniel Johnson, of Anne Arundel County, the tract known as 'Great Brush Neck,' lying between the Severy River and Magothy Bay, consisting of 150 acres of land. The deed was signed as George Yate, with Abell Brown and Abraham Childs as witnesses. No wife waived dower. (Anne Arundel Deeds, Liber 1 H #2, Folio 240. Hall of Records.)
"Unfortunately, all recorded deeds in Anne Arundel County were destroyed by fire in or about 1712, but the above named deed was brought to the clerk of the court by John Summerland who was then seized of the tract and requested that the deed be recorded.
"Not long after his settlement in Maryland, George Yate became actively engaged in public service. He participated in the punitive expedition against the Nanticoke Indians of the Eastern Shore, and for this service he received by vote of the General Assembly in November, 1678, forty pounds of tobacco.
"Earlier in 1678, he was voted 7,200 pounds of tobacco by the General Assembly, at St. Mary's City, during April-May, 1668, for services performed that year. (Maryland Archives, Vol. 2, Folio 228.)
"his must important public service, however, seems to be that of Deputy Surveyor for Anne Arundel County under his uncle as well as other Surveyor Generals of the Lord Proprietary. The earliest records of his services in this capacity are dated May 17, 1670. He served continuously as Deputy Surveyor until 1684, when he became incapacitated through lameness.
"In 1681, the General Assembly voted George Yate One Hundred Pounds of Tobacco for performance of public service. And, at the session of Nov. 1-12, same year, he was awarded an additional Two Hundred and Sixty pounds of Tobacco.
"George Yate and fourteen other outstanding men of Anne Arundel County were appointed by the General Assembly on Nov. 4, 1683, as Commissioners to survey and manage the buildings of the Court House for Anne Arundel County. ( "George Yate was a member of the Committee in Anne Arundel County in 1683 for the advancement of the trade in the Province of ports at several places.
"George Yate was one of the largest patentees of land within the Province during the late seventeenth century, and before his death had acquired land exceeding several thousands of acres. The following shows a complete list of his patents, together with the year of survey, the number of acres and the location.

"'Lyford,' it is noted was his first patent granted Apl. 12, 1666, by the Lord Proprietary. It consisted of a tract of land of 1000 acres in Talbott County on the north side of the Choptank River, adjoining the land of Henry Sewall, Esq. The certificate to 'Lyford' was issued to Jerome White, but patented in the name of George Yate.
"In the same year he was granted 'The Chance,' in Anne Arundel County.
"'Yate's Inheritance,' a tract of 170 acres in Anne Arundel County, has been a means of identifying definitely some of his descendants who held this tract for nearly a hundred years thereafter. (Copy of the Warrant in Land Office, Liber GG, Folio 438; Liber 12, Folio 134, Annapolis, Md.)"

The following is an exact coy of the last will and testament of George Yate -- (Wills, Liber 2, Folio, 228)
"In the name of God, Amen, I, George Yate, of Anne Arundell County in the Province of Maryland being weake in body but of perfect mind and Memory Praised be God do make and ordaine this my last Will and Testament In Form and Manner following, first I bequeath my Soul to Almighty God and my body to the Earth to be buried after the discretion of my Exec. thereafter named.
