(ca. 1682-1756) - Isles of Shoals, off the coast of NH; New Castle, Rockingham co., NH

(Second Generation - Yeaton Family)

FATHER
MOTHER
RICHARD YEATON, SR.
HANNAH [SURNAME NOT KNOWN]


BIRTH John was born circa 1682 on the Isles of Shoals off the coast of New Hampshire[2]
DEATH He died in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH circa December 1756; he was 74[14].
OCCUPATION Like his father, he was a Fisherman & Farmer[2].
EDUCATION John was illiterate, being able to sign his name only by mark[15].
TOWN SERVICE John lived primarily in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH, where he served as Constable in 1717 (as "John Yeatton" and collected the Town Rate[45]. Later, he served as Selectman in 1734/5[46]; Fence-Viewer in 1743/4[47]; Cullor Of Fish in 1743/4[47]; Selectman again in 1744/5[48] and Tythingman in 1744/5[48].
RESIDENCES & REAL ESTATE The break in his service between 1717 and 1734/5 is explained by the fact that he was living in Epsom, Merrimack co., NH during at least a part of that time span. Epsom was established on 18 May 1727 by people of Newcastle, Rye and Greenland, all in Rockingham co., NH[20] and is located roughly 5-7 miles east of Concord, Merrimack co., NH. Clearly, John was one of the New Castle residents who went to found this new town. He bought land there (Lot #51 in the second range) and was listed as a "Proprietor of Epsom" on 9 November 1732[20] -- even though he was listed as a head of household in New Castle during that same year[20,24]. His lands in Epsom were sold by several of his sons.

His residences (although it seems that he, like many "adventurers" of the time who helped to found new towns in New England, he kept one foot in his town of origin) can be better pinpointed by Tax Records of the time. He came of age and had his own established household in New Castle by 1709 & 1709/10 when he was taxed at the Great Island part of town[32,33]. He remained in New Castle for the next 18 years or so. He was on the Town Rate list of 1713 as "John Yeating"[34]; on the Town Rate list of 1717 as "John Yetton"[35]; and on the Town Rate list in 1719[36]. He was further on the Town Tax list in 1720[2,22,37]; the Town Rate list in 1723[38] and on the School Rate list for that same year[39]. In 1723, he was on the Province Tax list as "John Yeatton"[39] and on the 1723 Tax Abatement list as "John Yetton"[40]. "John Yetton and son" were on the circa 1724 Rate List[11]. John alone was on the Town Rate list of 1725[41]; on the Province Tax list of 1726 as "John Yetton"[42]; and on the Town Rate list of 1727 as "John Yetton"[43].

At this point, it appears that he moved to Epsom, Merrimack co., NH as he is on the New Castle Abatement list in 1728[44]. At this time, he also starts dealing regularly in real estate. On 3 March 1729, he sold land on Great Island in New Castle to his brother Joseph, with his wife releasing her dower[20,26]. On 22 July 1730, he bought land from his "brother Philip", location of land unknown[20,30], without his wife releasing her dower. On 8 January 1730/1, he sold land (location & buyer unknown)[20,27], without his wife releasing her dower. On 29 January 1735, he sold land on Great Island in New Castle (location & buyer also unknown)[20,28], without his wife releasing her dower. On 22 November 1736, he sold land (buyer unknown) that was given to him by "his brother Philip". Not only does his wife release her dower, but a Samuel Yeaton (most likely his brother), witnessed the deed[20,29].

By 1742, he is listed in the 1742 Estate Tax List in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH[20]. He sold land to Richard Tapley on 8 November 1756 that was "of my late honoured father RIchard Yeaton of Isles of Shoals deceased". His wife did not release her dower[20,23,25]. John is in the New Castle Tax records for 1749, 1753, 54, 56[20,31]. He, his son Richard & grandson Richard could possibly be the "John, Richard and Richard, Jr. Yeaton" listed all together on the Inventory list of 1782[16].

LEGAL MENTION John is also named in a list of various receipts in the estate of George Wallis of New Castle, Rockingham co., NH in 1726[18] and was appointed to appraise the estate of Thomas Parsons on 28 September 1726[19]. He was also a plaintiff in a debt action in York County Maine Court Case #609734[20]. Finally, he is specifically named as a son of Richard Yeaton in the administration of his father's estate[6,20].
ESTATE John's Will is in the New Hampshire State Papers and shows an Inventory worth £1615 pounds [!sic] and change. In these estate papers, he is called "Fisherman alias Husbandman"[2,17].
MARRIAGE Circa 1703 when John was 21, he married Elizabeth RANDALL, daughter of James RANDALL, in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH[20]. Elizabeth was born circa 1682 in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH[20] and died in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH sometime after 11 December 1765; she was 83[20,49]. As the "widow Elizabeth Yeaton" she deeded property with her son Richard Yeaton in 1757[20,50].

CHILDREN 7. i. Richard YEATON, JR. Please see his own page.
8. ii. John YEATON John was born circa 1708 in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH[20] and died in Somersworth, Strafford co., NH circa October 1747; he was 39[20]. Unlike most of the men in his family, John was neither fisherman nor farmer, but a Joiner[20].

John, a "Joiner of Somersworth", sold land (location and buyer unknown) on 5 February 1746/5, with no wife releasing her dower[20,83]. He was designated the same when he sold land (location and buyer unknown) on 27 November 1734, again without the release of his wife's dower[20]. He sold land on 22 June 1737 together with his wife Elizabeth which comprised the "homestead of our hond father Ben. Wentworth later of Dover and land now in the possession of our mother Sarah Wentworth"[20,84].

John was sued in 1736 as "John Yetting, Jr. of Somersworth, joiner" over a debt to Henry Sherburne of Portsmouth, Rockingham co., NH[20]. Administration of his estate is in the New Hampshire State Papers. After debts, his estate amounted to a little over £150 and was allowed on 29 July 1752[20,82].

Circa 1730 when John was 22, he first married Elizabeth WENTWORTH, daughter of Benjamin WENTWORTH & Sarah ALLEN, in Somersworth, Strafford co. NH[20]. She was born on 8 June 1712 in Dover, Strafford co., NH[20] and died in Somersworth, Strafford co., NH before 1735; she was 22[20].

They had the following children:
i. Robert (ca1732-1807)
ii. Benjamin (ca1734-<1787)

Circa 1735 when John was 27, he second married Elizabeth DREW, daughter of John DREW & Elizabeth HOPLEY, in Somersworth, Strafford co. NH[20]. She was born on 2 November 1709 in Dover, Strafford co., MA[20,85] and died in Somersworth, Strafford co., NH circa 1745/6; she was 35[20].

This Elizabeth is definitely the mother of (Robert) Hopley, John Drew and Philip Drew Yeaton all of Portsmouth, Rockingham co., NH. Some say that she was a "Twombly" in 1731. However, no Drew deed in 1731 has been found to confirm that. If she had married a Twombly, the only likely suspect is a William Twombly who had a wife Elizabeth in 1734[20,86]. Hollick also mentions: "Add possibly another daughter: Mary who married John Meserve in Portland[,Cumberland co., ME] in 1757[20,86].", but, frankly, I'm not sure what this means.

They had the following children:
i. Hopley (ca1739-1812)
ii. Philip Drew (ca1741-ca1802)
iii. John Drew (ca1743-1785)

On 1 December 1746 when John was 38, he third married Mary [surname not known][20], in Newington, Rockingham co., NH[20]. Mary was born circa 1715[20] and died after 1761; she was 46[20]. He is called "John Yeaton of Somersworth" in this marriage record[20].

This wife is called Mrs. Mary Thompson in her marriage record of Newington, Rockingham co., NH. She is possibly the Mary Sloper who married John Thompson in Portsmouth, Rockingham co., NH on 31 October 1737. Regardless, she is called "Mrs. Mary Yeaton" when she later married Joseph Benson[20,79,87].

9. iii. Elizabeth YEATON Elizabeth was born circa 1710 in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH[20] and married Benjamin ODIORNE, son of Deacon John ODIORNE & Catherine [surname not known].
10. iv. Samuel YEATON Samuel was born circa 1712 in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH[20] and died after 1763; he was 51[20]. Like so many Yeaton men, Samuel was both a Sailor and a Husbandman[20].

Samuel is listed in the 1742 Estate Tax List in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH[20]. He bought land from Jonathan Pinkham (location unknown) and was called "of Newcastle, Sailor" on 30 March 1752[20,91]. He sold land to Israel Ham, which was originally granted to John Ham in Rochester, Strafford co., NH in 1760[20,90]. At this time, it is noted that Samuel was "of Rochester" and called "husbandman".

Samuel sued Thomas Bell, Esq. for £700 (reason unknown) in 1763 and was called a "yeoman of Rochester" at the time. The debt was paid in 1764[20]. He is listed on a petition dated 8 Feb 1762 from Rochester, Strafford co., NH[20,89]. It is not known whether he signed his name or by mark.

Before 1752 when Samuel was 40, he married Patience [surname not known][20]. Patience was born circa 1730[20] and died after 1760; she was 30[20].

They had the following children:
i. Mary (Molly) (1753-1849)
ii. James (1756-)

11. v. Mary YEATON Mary was born in 1714 in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH[20]. In 1759, she sold land that was "John Yeaton's"[20].

Circa 1735 when Mary was 21, she married Nathaniel ODIORNE, son of Deacon John ODIORNE & Catherine [surname not known][20]. Nathaniel was born in 1712 in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH[20,93] and died in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH after 1760; he was 48[20].

They had the following children:
i. Nathaniel
ii. Sarah
iii. Mary - This Mary Odiorne married Joseph LOCKE in 1765 and not her mother, who couldn't be having children as late as 1768-1776[20].

12. vi. Hannah YEATON Hannah was born circa 1716 in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH[20]. She married George GORDON and they had 3 children, one of whom was Hannah (Gordon) Blazo, wife of Thomas Blazo[20].
13. vii. Philip YEATON Philip was born circa 1718 in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH[20] and died in Cape Elizabeth (just southeast of Scarborough), Cumberland co., ME before 1766; he was 48[20]. Philip was a Mariner[20].

He is probably the Philip Yeaton of New Castle, Rockingham co., NH who served in Captain Abraham Trefithin's [Trefethen] company on 1 March 1745[20,94]. He is also listed as a member of the militia of Cape Elizabeth in 1757[20]. He sold his interest to his father's estate to his brother Richard on 19 June 1762, with his wife releasing her dower[20,95].

Circa 1744 when Philip was 26, he married Hannah PINKHAM[20], daughter of James PINKHAM & Elizabeth HOPLEY, in Dover, Strafford co., NH[20]. Hannah was born on 16 September 1723 in Dover, Strafford co., NH[20,85]. At the age of 1, Hannah was baptized in Dover, Strafford co., NH on 25 October 1724[20]. She died in Portsmouth, Rockingham co., NH on 8 July 1790; she was 66[20,96].

She was called Mrs. Hannah Fowle in her death notice at age 73. No deeds have been found naming either Hannah Sloper or Hannah Fowler [Fowle]. Unfortunately, there is no probate record under any of these names in the Rockingham County records. She was named Hannah Eaton in the 1750 will of her father. Could she possibly be the Hannah who had a son Samuel born in 1743?[20]

They had the following children:
i. Samuel (ca1745-1820)
ii. Anna (ca1750-)
iii. Hannah (ca1754-)
iv. James (1758-1824)
v. Jonathon (1757-1839)
vi. Jane (ca1762-)

14. viii. Joseph YEATON Joseph was born circa 1720 in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH[20] and died in Rye, Rockingham co., NH after 1797; he was 77[20]. He was a Husbandman[20].

According to one source, Joseph was a resident of Rye, Rockingham co., NH[99]. Another says that he lived at either Kittery or Eliot, York co., ME[100]. He sold land (location unknown) to John Berry on 26 February 1760[20,98]. He was mentioned in the 1750 will of James Pinkham and could possibly be Joseph Yeaton of Somersworth, Strafford, co., NH whose brother Philip is the likely husband of Hannah Pinkham[20]. He also witnessed the Will of Ebenezer Philbrick of Rye in 1755[20,97]. Unfortunately, it is not mentioned whether he signed his name or by mark. Joseph was brought up on charges of not having attended public worship since January in Sept 1769. He was convicted and fined £1, 15 shillings and 9 pence[20].

Joseph first married Mary PINKHAM[20] daughter of James PINKHAM & Elizabeth HOPLEY. Mary was born on 14 September 1719 in Dover, Strafford co., NH[20,85], was baptized in Dover, Strafford co., NH on 22 May 1720[20] and died in Dover, Strafford co., NH after the birth of Sarah2 in September 1750 and before her husband's remarriage on 17 July 1751; she was 30[20]. She was called "Mary Eaton" in her father's will of 1750. The date of his will may help specify her own death date.

They had the following children:
i. Mary (ca1744-1831)
ii. Sarah1 (1748-<1750)
iii. Sarah2 (1750-)

On 17 July 1751 when Joseph was 31, he second married Sarah LANG[5,20], daughter of William LANG & Susannah SAVAGE, in Rye, Rockingham co., NH[5,20,101]. Sarah was born circa 1730[20]. That she is the daughter of William and Susannah (Savage) Lang is proved by his will in 1759[20,102].

They had the following children:
i. Joseph (1752-ca1806)
ii. Anne (1753-<1801)
iii. William (1756-1831)
iv. Elizabeth (1758-1833)
v. John (1761-1845)
vi. Hannah (1763-)
vii. Susannah (1765-1812)
viii. Philip (1768-)
ix. Deborah (ca1770-1807)
x. [possibly Samuel?] (1776-)
