WILLIAM YATES


Submitted by Mike Lee, 11 Apr 1999



My wife descends from Rev. William Yates and wife Elizabeth Randolph
(1700's Va.).  I have seen it stated that he was President of William and Mary  and  
Rector of Bruton Parish Church. We have her line back several more generations
but know little about him and nothing back on his line. Our descent from William and Elizabeth is as follows: Edward Randolph Yates m. Elizabeth Murray John Murray Yates m.1810 Annie Bailey Wood Susan Dean Yates m.1849 Nottoway Co., Va. Daniel W. Tisdale Annie Barley Tisdale m. Benjamin Erving Draper (lived in Blackstone, Nottoway Co., Va.) Cosby Alvin Draper, Sr. b. 1898, m. , d.1956, Charlotte Elizabeth Elmore (He and his brother were undertakers in Blackstone, Va.) Cosby Alvin Draper, Jr. b. 1927, m.1951 Adelaide Noel Blankinship b. 1929 (Live in Lynchburg, Va.) Adelaide Louise Draper b.1955, m. 1990 Michael Eugene Lee b. 1951 (Live in Lynchburg with children John Draper Lee, b.1991 and Adelaide Elizabeth Lee, b. 1993.) We would appreciate any information that can be passed our way and are certainly willing to share what we have. Mike Lee, Lynchburg, Va.
