Leigh will we along shortly to help us get on the right track, her records seem to maintain that there was a marriage but understand the conflict.? We need to confirm that Leigh was able to acquire the records created by “Joseph Yates And Some Of His Descendants” By A. S. Salley, Jr. ??They were in the Adlai Robin Yates collection at Clemson.? If she did not get them, I will to determine if we can harvest any details.

For now, as a guidepost, we know there is a DNA connection between the Yates lines:

Seven of Leigh’s Yates DNA matches appear to descend from Tattersall-Wells-Warfield-Guiney-Tapp in this list just below:

Ron,
Joseph Yates' lineage from hints seems to stop at a possible father also a Joseph Yates. And attached is a note from just a few days ago that John Rogers doesn't belong in the picture. (I've put him in and taken him out a couple of times (just for "completeness"). I think I'll keep him out, for now anyway!).
I think DNA is our only way forward. Your autosomal results indicate the line is related to us (if I understand your messages correctly). If the Y-DNA can be traced down to living males, I wonder if their Y-DNA will match ours? (Not sure if that has been done, but I think not). Does Leigh know of any living Yates males who could Y-DNA test?
