RICHARD YEATON, SR.

1658-1723 - Isles of Shoals, NH; New Castle, Rockingham co., NH

(First Generation - Yeaton Family)

NOT KNOWN

BIRTH Richard was born circa 1658[2]
DEATH He died on the Isle of Shoals, New Hampshire circa August 1732; he was 74[2].
OCCUPATION Richard was a Fisherman and Farmer[2]
CHURCH MEMBERSHIP Like quite a few settlers in the New Castle/Portsmouth area, he may have been a Quaker[2].
RESIDENCES & TOWN SERVICE Richard was noted as a selectman of Gosport in 1721[2,12] and was on the Rate List of New Castle, Rockingham co., NH circa 1724 as "Richard Yetton" -- a notation which was then underlined and struck out in the town records[11]. Gosport was a town on Star Island -- one of the Isles of Shoals, which is a set of nine small islands located 6 miles off the coast of New Hampshire and Maine and straddling the borders of both states. Gosport no longer exists and the Isles of Shoals are primarily occupied by tourists these days.

Richard was a good & trusted neighbor, as seen by the fact that he was frequently called upon to take inventory & appraisal of their estates. He took inventory of the estate of Samuel Matthews of the Isles of Shoals on 26 September 1720[2,10]. On 1 June 1721, he took inventory on the estate of George Blagdon[2,8]. "Richard Yeaton" was authorized to appraise the estate of James Couch on 12 August 1721[2,9]. Finally, on 1 September 1722, Richard Yeaton "of Star Island" took inventory of the estate of James Blagdon[2,7]. Administration of his own estate was granted to his sons John & Samuel[6].

MARRIAGE Circa 1680 when Richard was 22, he married Hannah [surname not known][2], who was born circa 1660[2]. William Hazlet Jones claims that she is Hannah DAVIS, daughter of Roger DAVIS as based on the facts that a Hannah Yeaton was named in a warrant on Star Island in 1693/4 and also in the quitclaim deed of Richard Yeaton to John Davis[2,3,13]. Highly probable, but I want other proof to back up a claim by Hazlet.

CHILDREN 2. i. John YEATON Please see his own page.
3. ii. Philip YEATON Philip was born circa 1688 on one of the Isle of Shoals (most likely Star Island), New Hampshire[20], and died in Somersworth, Strafford co., NH on 11 April 1771; he was 83[20,52]. Philip was a Husbandman[20] and must have moved early to Somersworth, as he was never taxed at New Castle, Rockingham co., NH.

Philip is believed to be a Church member in Somersworth, Strafford co., NH in 1732. However, since this comes from Holbrook "1732 census", which he used different lists to compile, this Philip may have been from the "Petition of Dover" and his nephew Philip (son of John, Sr.) may have been the Church member in Somersworth[20,24].

Most of Philip's records are Real Estate transactions. He and John Drew bought land (location unknown) from Israel Hodgdon on 11 June 1714[20,57]. On 7 December 1727, He and Love Roberts sold land (location unknown) to John Legro and others[20,59]. He sold land (location unknown) to his "brother John" on 22 July 1730, with his wife Joanna releasing her dower[20]. He also sold land (location unknown) to Francis Drew on 22 November 1735, with Joanna releasing her dower[20,58]. He was compelled to pay a judgement (details of case unknown, opponent unknown) in 1737[20,55]. He and his wife Joanna sold land (location unknown, buyer unknown) on 29 August 1739[20,60]. Philip also sold land on 13 April 1741 (location & buyer unknown), with Joanna releasing her dower[20,54] and sold land with Love Roberts (location & buyer unknown) on 28 November 1741[20,56]. Finally, he sold land on 9 January 1759 (location & buyer unknown), with the transaction witnessed by Richard Yeaton and no wife releasing her dower[20,53].

Circa 1727 when Philip was 39, he married Joanna PRAY, daughter of Joseph PRAY & Mary GRANT[20]. Joanna was the widow of Moses ROBERTS. She was born circa 1698 in Berwick, York co., ME[20] and died after 1741; she was 43[20].

Proof that she is the mother of all of Philip Yeaton's children and the widow of Moses Roberts is in the deed dated 13 May 1726 which reads "in consideration of ye natural love and good will I have towards Joanna Roberts widow of Moses Roberts and her heirs and divers other good causes me thereunto moving have and do freely give and bequeath to her ye said Joanna Roberts and to her and my heirs begotten of her body lawfully...", Witnesses to this deed were her brothers John and Joseph Pray[20,61].

They had the following children:
i. Phebe (ca. 1724)
ii. Philip (ca. 1725)
iii. William (ca. 1728)
iv. Moses (ca. 1730)
v. Richard (19 April 1733)
vi. Francis (ca. 1735)

4. iii. Joseph YEATON Joseph was born circa 1692 on one of the Isles of Shoals, off the coast of New Hampshire[20] and died in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH in October 1761; he was 69[20]. Joseph was a Fisherman[20] and could only sign "by mark", since it was probably this "Joseph Yeatton" who signed by mark an affidavit of James Randall dated 2 March 1720[45].

Joseph is mentioned in three grantor deeds of Shadrach Bell and also bought land on Great Island in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH from his brother John on 3 March 1729[20,26].

Joseph was at Newcastle from 1713 to the 1750s[20]. Specifically, he is on the Town Rate list of 1713 as "Joseph Yeating"[34]; the Province Tax list of 1715[63]; the Town Rate list of 1717 as "Joseph Yetton"[35]; the Province Tax list in 1723 under "Joseph Yeatton"[39]; the Rate List c. 1724 as "Joseph Yetton"[11]; the Town Rate list of 1725 as "Joseph Yetton"[41]; the Province Tax list of 1726 as "Joseph Yeten"[42]; and the Town Rate list of 1727 as "John Yetton"[43]. After this time, it becomes difficult to sort all the Joseph Yeatons to find his specific entries. Interestingly enough, he is not on the Town Rate list in 1719[36]. Jay Mack Holbrook lists him as a head of household in 1732 in Holbrook's "New Hampshire 1732 Census"[20,24].

Joseph's Will is in the New Hampshire State Papers and names his widow Elizabeth and his adopted daughter Grace Bell and her husband Shadrach Bell[20,62].

On 9 October 1758 when Joseph was 66, he married Elizabeth [surname not known], in New Castle, Rockingham co., NH[20,64,65]. Their marriage record reads "Joseph Yeaton & Mrs. Elizabeth Trefferren 9 Oct 1758". She was born circa 1735[20] and died after 1761; she was at least 26[20]. I do not know which Trefethen she first married[66].

They had one child:
i. Grace (Adopted)

5. iv. Benjamin YEATON Benjamin was born circa 1694 on one of the Isle of Shoals, off the coast of New Hampshire[20] and died sometime after 1735; he was 41[20].

Benjamin was taxed at New Castle, Rockingham co., NH from 1715 until 1723. He is on the Province Tax list of 1715[63]; the Town Rate list of 1717 as "Benjamin Yetton"[35]; the Town Rate list in 1719[36]; and the Town Tax list in 1720[20,37,67]. Benjamin is gone from the tax lists in New Castle by 1723, except for an appearance on the Abatement list of 1728[44]. Perhaps he was one of those who went northwest to found Epsom, Merrimack co., NH, since the Abatement list of 1728 seemed to affect those settlers.

Before 1719 when Benjamin was 25, he married Ann [surname not known], on Star Island (one of the Isles of Shoals), off the coast of New Hampshire[20]. Ann was born circa 1698[68].

Their daughter Hannah is possibly the Ann Yeaton baptized on 18 March 1722. If so, it is additional proof that they were married before 1722[20].

They had the following children:
i. Hannah (possibly Ann) (1722-)
ii. Sarah (1724-)
iii. Elizabeth (1727-)
iv. John (ca1730-1770)
v. Ann (ca1733-)

6. v. Samuel YEATON Samuel was born circa 1696 on one of the Isle of Shoals, off the shore of New Hampshire[20] and died after 1743; he was 47[20]. Samuel was a Fisherman[20]. He and his wife Katharine were probably the couple baptized by The Reverend Cotton from Hampton Falls, Rockingham co., NH on 1 July 1722[20]. He was clearly named as a son of Richard Yeaton in the administration of the latter's estate in 1732[6,20].

Samuel was on the New Castle, Rockingham co., NH Town Rate list of 1717 as "Samuel Yetton"[35]. However, he is not on the Town Rate list there in 1719[36]. By 1732, he is listed as a resident and head of household in Gosport, Star Island (one of the Isles of Shoals), off the coast of New Hampshire[20,24]. Samuel was a Gosport Selectman in 1732/3, 1736 and 1740 and was the Tythingman there in 1737[20,70].

He was sued by Henry Sherburne of Portsmouth in 1733 over debt of £18. While details of the case are not known, it is known that a chair was seized in payment. During this case, Samuel was called a "Fisherman of Gosport on Isle of Shoals"[20].

Before 1722 when Samuel was 26, he married Katherine RANDALL, daughter of Jacob RANDALL & Catherine EASTWICK, in Gosport, Star Island (one of the Isles of Shoals), off the coast of New Hampshire[20]. Katherine was born circa 1700[20] and died after 1743; she was 43[20]. She was also the first cousin of Elizabeth (Randall) Yeaton, the wife of Samuel's brother John Yeaton.

Samuel and Katherine were possibly the parents of Richard Yeaton who married Mary Gould in Marblehead, Essex co., MA. Their son Jacob certainly married there. Also the Anderson article adds children Philip, Samuel, Jr., and Abigail and Hannah. Some of these children could be born 1722-1728 and in 1730.
