I seem to have forgot about Philip Drew Yeaton (thanks Dan for e-mailing me about this) and his marriage to Mary Sherriff (NHGR v20n2,pg54). This couple could very well be the ones in the Portsmouth land deeds I mentioned, so Philip and Mary (Harvey) may be the ones up in Maine. Philip Drew is possibly the one who died in 1795, though birth year estimate in article doesn't seem to match his age at death. He is NOT the one with Rockingham probate #6886, with Abner Blaisdell as admin, as this belongs to Philip of New Castle - "Phillip Yeaton of New-Castle, mariner, deceased" as mentioned in notice printed in the Republican Ledger of 23 Feb, 1802 by said Blaisdell. The men chosen to take inventory of his estate on 9 March are also New Castle men.
-- There is also the possibility that it is Philip Drew Yeaton who is up in Maine, as brother Hopleywas, though still doesn't help establish the 'Harvey' name up there (unless Mary Sherriff is Mary Harvey - has that avenue even been touched yet?)
