John Yates
Notes:

Known as John the Emigrant, John Yates embarked on the America to be transported from England to New England from London, William Barker or Barber, captain, June 23, 1635, when he was 20 years old. On May 4, 1636, John Yates received a grant of 150 acres in Elizabeth City county on a neck of land on the east side of the Elizabeth (Nansemond) River for transporting himself, wife Joan and son Richard to New England from England. (In other words, he was returning.) He received another 200 acres on the north side of the Elizabeth River for transporting four persons to New England, including his daughter Mary, in 1636. Thus, apparently, he made three voyages in one year. He is probably also the John Yates, 19, transported in the Hopewell to Barbados, Feb. 17, 1634/5 and identical with the John Yates, ships carpenter, listed in the crew of the "Foxe" in 1646. He also received a grant of 600 acres in Lower Norfolk county on March 10, 1638 (Book 1, Bishop Meades Old Churches and Families of Virginia, vol. I, p. 359).

Notes:

In a grant of Sept. 21, 1636, he is called John Gater, and his wife named as Joan Gater. His patents were renewed in the name of John Gater on July 26, 1638 (800 acres by now). With his wifes 200, he owned an even 1,000 acres when he died. He was churchwarden of Lynhaven parish in 1642 and died before August 1648, when his widow Joan was made administrator of his affairs by the Lower Norfolk County court. An Epaphroditus Lawson sued him for a debt in 1639, prosecuting the affair for ten years. He lived in what became Dorchester in Norfolk County on a neck of land bounded by the creek called Dun out of the Mire. His grants were on the Nansemond River in a place called Kicoughtan by the Nansemond Indians. Most of the land grantees were from Dorsetshire and surrounding area in southern England. He was a shipwright, or as we might say today, "ship engineer." His descendants moved first to Halifax County (Brunswick, then Lunenburg), then Pittsylvania County, Virginia. They also had land grants in North Carolina.
