| 851 | Wife unknown. Died testate in Virginia in 1743. Names of other children unknown. "George Yates III is supposed to have died intestate in Caroline County about 1743. On February 10 [18?], 1743/44, George Yates, who is identified as his minor son and orphan, selected William Conner as his guardian. No record has been found of the probation of his will in Caroling County, nor a record of the inventory of the personal estate being recorded at court. "The fact of the record of only one child having been placed under guardianship would seem to indicate that the other children were of legal age. This supposition is proved later as a fact by the will of the testator's (George Yates III) grandson in 1788. It would seem to indicate that the wife of George Yates had predeceased him. "The wife of George Yates III has been of considerable interest in this study. While several clues were developed, the lack of such specific instruments as deeds and wills prevented any definite proof. No references were found to a first name. It is possible, however, to approximate the date as well as whether the marriage occurred in Maryland or Virginia. "The very significant will of George Yeats [son] of Michael, dated March 3, 1788, and admitted to probate in Culpeper Co., Va., on June 16, 1788, is perhaps the best instrument for speculation. In it, George Yeates of Michael, states,'Whereas my Grandfather George Yates, deceased, did in his lifetime make me a deed of gift for certain lands...in the County of Caroline....' "As the death of George Yates III (grandfather to George Yates of Michael) is definitely placed by Court Record as 1743/44, it is therefore self-evident that George Yates of Michael was born in or prior to to the year 1743. "It is also known that George Yates III was of middle age at his death with a minor son, George IV, between the ages of 14 and 18 years. Knowing that George Yates of Michael was born prior to or in 1743, and considering that his father was aged at least 22 years at the birth of the son, therefore, Michael Yates (the father) was born in or about the year 1722. "These facts and circumstances would place the marriage of George Yates III about the year 1720. "It is estimated that George Yates III was about 17 years of age at the time of his father's death in 1717. And it is not impossible to imagine that George Yates III left home almost immediately. A precocious lad of 17 or 18 years out on his one initiative, and therefore it is probable that George Yates III settled in Virginia at a date earlier than had been originally thought. "In in 1730 [38?] when George Yates III conveyed land in Baltimore County, Maryland, no wife waived dower, which would indicate that he was a widower at that time. "Circumstances place the Marriage of George Yates II about 1720 or 1721, and everything points to King William County, Virginia, as the place." -- Newmann, p. 11 "George Yates III, Son and heir of George Yate II and his wife, Rachael Warfield, was born at the parental dwelling-plantation, near Elk Ridge, then in the county of Baltimore, but now in Howard County. He is mentioned as the eldest son in the will of his father in 1717, all the children at that time being minors. "This George Yate III is supposed to have been born about 1701, perhaps earlier. He did not dispose of his Maryland birthright until the year 1728. "He settled in the Western part of King William County, Virginia, (later Caroline County) and it is known that the early Virginia home of George Yates was in the southeastern portion of present Caroline County. This George Yates was in Maryland in March 1729, and conveyed March 8, 1729 to John Warfield, of Anne Arundel County, a portion of Warfield's range, which had been granted, according to deed, to Rachel for 180 acres. The deed further stated that 'John Warfield was father to the John Warfield the grantee and party to the deed.' As the wording is somewhat ambiguous, it meant that John Warfield who bought the land from George Yeates was a son of John Warfield who patented the land jointly with Richard Warfield, the said son of John Warfield. The tract was situated on the Middle River. "Thus George Yates disposed of the last piece of realty in Maryland and that which he had inherited through his mother, Rachael, who had been willed it by her father, Richard Warfield, Sr. This is the last reference made in Maryland records to George Yates III. "Owing to the destruction of the Caroline County records, there are only two proved children of George Yates III." -- Newmann p. 13 | YATES, George III (I1184)

| 855 | William and his brother Thomas probably did not move to Stafford Co. Va until after the 1701 death of their father. They were both in the Surry Co. Militia in the company of Captain Joseph Sumner in 1701. They were in Stafford Co. by 1723 when William was registered in Overwharton Parish taxables as paying 96 lbs. of tobacco for 400 acres. When William, the older died ca 1739/39 he left land to son William and daughter Mary Peters. He also left land for the care of Margaret, widow of brother Thomas and their daughter, Margaret. A Margaret Whitson died in 1745, possibly the widow of Thomas. Sources Will book M, p 262, Stafford Co. Va 1739. | WHITSON, William (I1242)

| 856 | William Carson's 1849 letter: "His[Simon's] father's name Robert, his mothers maiden name Watt. They had several children, perhaps six or eight. My father stated that his grandpa often spoke of being in Derry when besieged by the Catholic when of the 10,000 besieged, but little over 1,000 remained owing to starvation, killed and some by eating too much when getting a full supply on their releasement, their want so extreme that horses' intestines were sold by the yard, that he watched many a day to shoot a rat he saw enter a hole in the wall. The king granted freehold to the survivors on part of which my father was raised." "About 1688 the Carson family participated in the famous siege of Londonderry, Ireland, when the Protestant inhabitants were confined by the Catholic Irish power and subjected to a siege that lasted until the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. Most of the people died from hunger and privations, yet the survivors refused to surrender. The father of Robert Carson, and grandfather of Simon, Sr., was one of the defenders. He watched a rat hole for half a day that he might shoot its occupant for food; and the entrails of horses were sold by the yard to satisfy the cravings of hunger. "According to the records of the Campbell family, so great was the stress of the siege that only about 100 survived out of a population of 10,000. The besiegers had stretched a chain across the river to cut off supplies, but a vessel loaded with provisions broke it after the third attempt, and the siege was raised. King James and William III were the contending monarchs. King William granted a freehold to each of the survivors. "Robert Carson, father of Simon Carson, Sr., was born in Ireland between 1660 and 1680. He married a Miss Watt and they had eight children. Several of his nephews came to America and served in the continental Army during the Revolution. -- Bond, Marian Saunders. Some Ancestors, pp. 17-18. | CARSON, Robert (I668)

| 861 | Y.O.B. Abt. 1782 in IGI; 1779 according to Myra Compton Allnutt Myra Compton Allnutt Records "Margaret McKay (Aunt Peggy) was the second daughter of Jeremiah McKay, Sr., and his wife, Lydia Watson [Whitson]. She never married. "The latter years of her life were spent in the home of her niece, Mrs. Julia Ann Gatewood McKay-Stinson at 'Walnut Hill,' Warren Co. Va., and she died in June 1882, at the ripe old age of 103 years. "She used often to talk about her Uncle Abram McKay who came up from Tennessee to visit them all. He gave her a large brass shawl pin--the first one she had ever seen, which she in turn gave to my father, W.A. Compton. "I, Myra Compton Alnutt, who lived in the same house with 'Aunt Peggy' from my birth, 1869 till her death in 1882, well remember hearing her tell of the Indians around them, and of the kindly feeling the Indians always showed toward her people. "She spoke of their passing her home on their trips Spring and Fall toward and back from their winter camps in the South, always stopping by and trading venison, etc., for food they had in their home. "She said when the squaws grew too old or helpless to make these trips, they were always abandoned. "One cold morning, after the members of a tribe had passed by the night before, on their way southward, Aunt Peggy's father found a poor old sick squaw huddled in their chimney corner, nearly frozen. She was taken into their home, doctored and taken care of by the family. In the Spring when the tribe returned from winter quarters, they stopped as usual. On finding the old squaw still living and hale and hearty, they took her on with them, showing the greatest evidence of good will toward the family. "I have in my possession, as gifts to me from Aunt Peggy, the large toddy glass used by her father, Col. Jeremiah McKay, at the sessions of Court held in his home -- also a pewter tablespoon and two ten [tin? or tea?] spoons used on their table, also a cream pitcher. She also gave me a blue and white quilt and a blue and white woolen counterpane, both made in her girlhood days. Laura Allnutt Darby now owns the blue and white quilt, and Natalie Allnutt Gouldin has the coverlet or counterpane. "From another forgotten source: 'Aunt Peggy, daugh. of Col. Jeremiah McKay, often spoke of Rev. James Ireland living near them, and of having visited at his home on the McKay land, and hearing him preach. Mr Ireland moved there about 1782 and lived there until about 1790 when he moved back to Frederick County, near Opequon.'" | MCKAY, Margaret (I192)

| 863 | Year of death seems to be a question--1941 or 1943 on JET's family group sheet IGI lists dob as 6 Jan 1860 in one record and 1861 in another record. Born about 1860. Graduated from Central College, Fayette, Missouri, 1890 -Taught for a number of years in Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas. Author of "A Young Man's Problems." Married [Rose Lee Wilson].

| 864 | Zachariah and Mary Compton came from the Eastern Shore of Maryland and moved to Virginia. Zachariah served in the Revolutionary war and participated in the siege of Yorktown, witnessing the surrender of Cornwallis--Z.J. Compton IGI lists dob as 1734 and the place as La Plata. Charles Co. Md. Alicia Methmann gives dob as March 19, 1739. DAR Patriot Index [p. 147] b. ca 1745 d. 1788/89 m. Mary Middleton listed as a soldier [meaning no details are known] from Va. Rebecca Good: Zachariah first appears in the records of Culpepper Co., Va in 1775 when he was listed as a buyer at a sale. His lineage is somewhat in doubt. If he was Matthew's son, why was he not named in his will? He also is not listed in the Trinity Parish register, but neither is another son, Stephen who is named in the will. Whatsmore, Stephen names his brothers in his will including the names of Zachariah and William, neither of whom are named in Matthew's will or in the parish register. Zachariah Compton served in a Virginia State Artillery Regiment raised by Lt. Col. Elias Edmonds who recruited men from Fauquier and surrounding counties. Edmonds also signed Zachariah's discharge paper, which, in 1942, was in the possession of Mrs. Fannie H. Green of Foster Ohio, who had affidavits made and filed with the Library of Congress and the National DAR. | COMPTON, Zacariah (I387)

| 865 | Zachary named this son for James Booten who was a Baptist Preacher who lived with and became a friend of the family. -- JET Was James Booten the son or brother of the Ambrose C. Booten who married Dr. Zach and Elizah McKay? Was James Booten Compton a particular favorite of Emily Virginia, so much so that she named her son, Joshua Booten Taylor, for him? Was she even the one who selected his name since she died the day he was born? -- LKL | COMPTON, James Booten (I134)
