GEORGE YATE, son of John and Mary, d. 1691 in Anne Arundale County MD. He m. Mary Wells Stockett. George was not named in the will of his grandfather Thomas Yate, but additional probate material of 1658 states that Thomas Yate left two minor grandchildren, George and Elizabeth Yate, both wards of their mother Elizabeth [sic] Yate (separate source suggests that as a recusant, Mary Tattershall Yate may have wished to hide her identity by calling herself Elizabeth after her mother). George Yate came to MD about 1665. George Yate, “cousin to Jerome White,�?came to MD by 1670, and in 1680 was commissioned Deputy Surveyor of Anne Arundel County. Yate took up several tracts of land with names that reflected his English origins: in 1676 he patented Lyford in TA Co.; in 1668 he patented Ufton Court, and in 1678 patented Denchforth, both in BA Co. In his will, proved 1691 in Anne Arundel County, he named his wife Mary and the following children: GEORGE; JOHN; and ANNE. Source:British Roots of Maryland Families Robert W.
