I had earlier asked about and you had replied concerning the reported Yates/Pocahontas connection.Your reply was to identify the connection through the marriage of one of the Rev. William Yates' daughters to a Bolling.If that were the only connection, we missed by one generation.
Since then, a Yates researcher has sent me additional information from a Pocahontas book that identifies Elizabeth Murray who married John Murray Yates as a descendant as well.This is my wife's line and Pocahontas would have been her 10G grandmother.

Wm.If not a brother, certainly a cousin.

William Yates.Will send if you want.
