Yorkshire, in England, and settled in Delaware; afterwards he married and
resided for many years in Chester. In 1697, he purchased the mills and
property at the mouth of Naaman's Creek, and about the same time he
purchased lands at Chester, known as the Granary. It was torn down some
years since, and its site is now occupied by a cotton factory. The upper
story of the old building was used for the storage of grain, while the lower
story was used as a biscuit bakery. Mr YEATES was educated for the Bar, but
preferred speculation, in which he was not successful. He was the
grandfather of the late Mr Justice (Jasper) YEATES of the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania. He represented New Castle cnty in the Assembly, and after the
separation of the lower counties, he was a Representative and Speaker of the
