Newmann writes:
"Mary Yate, widow of George Yate I, survived her husband eight years. From the Registrar of All Hallows Parish, 'Mary Yeates was buried the 21st day of January Anno Dom 1698/99.'
"Mary Wells Yate left a will, appointing her son, Thomas Stockett, as Executor. She bequeathed to her said son Thomas Stockett 211 acres of "The Range," near Lyon Creek, and his father's black walnut box with his coat of arms engraved thereon. Personalty was bequeathed to her daughter Frances the wife of Mareen Duvall, and to her daughter Elizabeth, the wife of Thomas Plummer, and to each living grandchild. The residue of her estate, including the 'Vale of Benjamin,' (which was to be sold), was devised to her sons George, and John Yate." Wills, Liber 6, Folio 212.
