===================================================================== Match: Bowles Source: MDSTMARY@rootsweb.com From: rubyslippers <rubyslippers@kc.rr.com> Subject: [MDSTMARY] Robert Yates and the Bransons The Charles County branch of Bransons went to Virginia in 1760. In 1780 Montgomery County they are living next to "Yates alias Smith" families. They will remain associated with the Yates, McMillion, Hawkins and Mankin families for decades. Michael Branson born abt 1681, son of Thomas the immigrant married a Rebecca. According to written history Absalom born 1740 who married Jemima Lorton abt 1760 was the son of Michael. If this is correct, Michael would have been almost 60 when Absalom was born. There are also stories that he was orphaned. Absalom did name his first child Michael and a daughter Rebecca. I have nothing on Michael or Rebecca after 1744. From the below Robert Yates 2nd wife Lydia was still Hatton in 1703. It's possible that Robert Yates and Elizabeth could have had a daughter born about 1703 named Rebecca. That would make her only 37 yrs old at Absalom's birth. This seems highly likely to be where Michael's wife came from.... Robt Yates born abt 1654 died 26 DEC 1713 in Charles County, Maryland Says he married #1 Rebecca Young...she was the widow of James Tyre...at the time of his death Robert was remarried to Lydia We have real birthdates for his sons: Robert 10 Apr 1690 and Charles 29 Apr 1692 In the probates of Nathaniel Veren and Lawrence Hoskins 1687 to 1689 we have "Administratrix: Rebecca Yates (relict of James Tyre (administrator of deceased}, now wife of Robert Yates." The same probate of Carr that left a legacy to James, son of James Tyer also left to Peter McMillion, son of George The Young comes from the probate of Elizabeth Young in 1697/1699. She left to Robert Yates, Mrs. Robert Yates and James and Bowles Tyer. Since at this time Robert and Rebecca already had 2 sons born and probably also daughters I think Rebecca's maiden name being Young is presumption. Leaving out her other grandchildren. It is probably more likely that Elizabeth Young has some family connection to Tyer than to Rebecca. Lawrence Hoskins Adm was Rebecca Tyer and his estate was all left to her son James. I think it just as likely that Rebecca was Rebecca Hoskins. Until I see further proof I'm not certain what Rebecca's maiden name was. Bowles Tyer died in 1707 and his widow was Jane who remarried Charles Jones. In 1716 when Jane Jones dies she lists her executors as "Brothers Robert and Charles Yates" What she means by this of course is BIL since they were l/2 brothers to her husband. Test: Anne Gwinn. Unfortunately at the time of his death he leaves out mention of his daughters...... Yates, Robert Sr., Chas. County, 19th Nov., 1713; 26th Dec., 1713. To eld. son Robert, ex., and hrs., 250 A., on 'Wicomico R., bought of Benony Foning and Hannah, his wife. to son Charles and hrs., 180 A., "Charles Yates, " 180 A., "Manchester," and 150 A., "Herds Mountains," also 50 A., "Arabia." to wife Lydia, absolutely, 160 A., "Wollring Field" and personalty belonging to Mr. Hatton's estate. (or Hawton) Test: Jno. Maddox., Wm. Goody, Chas. Jones. William Hawton/Hatton dies in 1703 and his wife is Lydia. His son William dies in 1709 - he mentions his FIL Robert Yates as executor. In Lydia Yates of 1718 will she mentions her grandchildren of William Hawton. Maj Robert Jr died in 1743 wife was Anne Gwinn has a son named Robt that dies in 1764. Robert Jr's other son was JONATHAN married to Elizabeth BRUCE ....Note this the document witnessed by Sarah BRANSON. Also note this is from a James SMITH. In Montgomery Co, VA the deeds for land are "Yates alias Smith" Charles County Land Record Book L#3, 1761-1765; Page 473. Mortgage. May 4, 1761 from James Smith of CC, planter, to John Fendall of CC, Gentleman, for 232 £ 10 shillings & 6 pence, a parcel of land commonly called Smith, situated in William and Mary Parish in CC, and on the north side of Potomack River on Petites Cr, and bounded on the south by sd Cr, on the east with a line drawn north from Smiths Bight into the woods, on the north with a line drawn west from the end of the former line until it intersects a parallel [line] drawn from Bennetts Branch, on the west with sd Branch and parallel [line], containing and now laid out for about 100 acres. If, however, sd James smith pays sd John Fendall the afd sum with legal interest on May 4, 1764, then these presents shall cease.

Wit - Sarah (B her mark) BRANSON, Francis Yates. Recorded-in CC I have no idea who this Sarah Branson is. In 1760 Absalom along with his cousins Thomas and John have taken off for Virginia. Perhaps she was the only remaining Branson of this line left in Maryland. Robert Sr's other son Charles has sons Charles, Francis, Theophilus, Robert and daughters Elizabeth Given, Jane Bruce and Rebecca Barber. Theophilus marries Anne Henley HAWKINS and names a son Henry SMITH Yates. In 1729 when Michael bought Canterbury the deed was witnessed by Robert Yates and John Brisco. This was probably his brother-in-law Major Robert Yates, Jr. As for John Brisco....his wife was Eleanor Williamson. He named a son Hezekiah. This was the first Hezekiah in the Brisco family and likely came from the Williamson side of the family. ===================================================================== Match: Bowles Source: MDSTMARY@rootsweb.com From: John Dobricky <john.dobricky@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [MDSTMARY] Robert Yates and the Bransons Hi. Great research! Just one thing.....the Rebecca who married James Tear/Tyer, etc., was born Rebeccal Bowles. That's where the "Bowles" in Bowles Tyer came from. Some researchers think her surname was "Young" because of her being mentioned in the Will of, as I recall, Elizabeth Young. Please remember that everyone married several times in those days so the fact that someone is named in the Will of someone who died with the surname "Young" does not mean much. Again, though, great work!

With the records, Bowles makes perfect sense. It also connects with my Branson family a generation back. One of these days I'm going to figure out who Ann his wife was. If family legend was correct she was on the same boat with him when he immigrated in 1651 with Love and Hillard (but she would have only been 9 yrs old if true). I suspect Thomas came from Braunston Manor in England - it's rumored his Mother was well off. I know there is a definite Williamson relationship. From the below there was a connection to the Newman family or maybe the Ashcomb?? on either Thomas' side or his wife Ann. As you probably know Margery MNU Ashcomb came to America with her daughter Lydia Ashcomb. I read Margery married then Wm Batten and then after married John Bowles. Is this correct? Lydia Ashcomb marries George Newman and he and his wife deeded property back and forth to my Thomas Branson, the immigrant in 1662. One of the people paid from the estate of Thomas Branson was Dennis Hurly - he is related to the Derby Donnavin family also spelled in a variety of ways including Doniphan.
