This may be a little long. All the early Gillingham Geneology books had Yeamans Gillingham married to Mary Taylor. He was in fact married to Mary Brodwell the daughter of Mary Freeman Brodwell. This is proven by looking at the book "Descendants of Robert Taylor" and the will of Mary Freeman Brodwell in that book. Here is what I am still searching for: A Quaker researcher turned up a MM that shows that Mary Brodwell married a James Pratt prior to marrying Yeamans. The first document Philadelphia MM 30D 6M 1689, James Pratt ask for permission to marry. The second document Abington MM 8D 8M 1689 James Pratt asks for permission to marry Mary Brodwell and the third document Abington MM 7D 9M 1689 they are married. I am assuming that James Pratt died and Mary Brodwell Pratt then married Yeamans. I have never been able to find a Monthly Meeting notice of that marriage. I would assume she would have been identified as widow Mary Pratt. The first record of Yeamans is from a Middletown MM where he was a witness to a marriage 12D 9M 1690. Yeamans and Mary's first child Ann ( b. May 1694) and all the old books say she was born Oxford TWP, Adams. So I am hopeful that someone might have found the information on Yeamans and Mary's marriage at a Quaker MM. Any help appreciated. Allan Gillingham
