Hi Ed, noticed your posting from several months ago about John Yates in Dutchess County, N.Y. I published "The Descendants of Seth Yeats (or Yates) of Newport, Rhode Island, and The Descendants of John Yeats (or Yates) of Providence, Rhode Island," about two years ago. John Yates had a son John who had sons John and William, born about 1740 and 1744 respectively. I found very little on these two brothers but know they were still alive in 1764. I think I recall finding a John Yates in the Poukeepsie, N.Y. area and suspected he may have been this John but found no records to prove any connection. The names James, William, and Archibald all fit with my research of the Providence families. Would like to know what information you may have.
