- Newmann, p. 17, includes a letter from A.R. Yates:
"Hudson Mill, Va.
November 20, 1900
Mr. F. L. Burdette
Clarksburg, W. Va.
Dear Sir:
Your letter was received sometime back.
I will try to answer and give you all the information that I can. Am afraid it will be poor. My grandfather was Captain James Yates; he was a Captain in the Revolutionary War. My father was named Benjamin Yates. I had a cousin Richard Yates; he went West, but I do not know where. He left here when I was a small boy. Cousin Paul Yates has a brother living. You might gain some information from him. His name is Charles L. Yates. His address is Sperryville, Rappahannock County, Virginia. Their father was named Paul Yates. The Lillards are connected with the Yates family. I am not able to tell you how they came to be connected.
Hope you may be successful in finding out what you desire.
I am, yours very truly,
(Signed) A.R. Yates"
