I would appreciate corresponding with anyone who has information on Jonathan YATES who m. 14 May 1737, at E. Greenwich, Deborah JOHNSON, daughter of Elisha and Deborah (SHERMAN) JOHNSON. Jonathan died before 27 Jan 1738/9 when his will was probated in E. Greenwich. Jonathan and Deborah (JOHNSON) YATES daughter, Waitey YATES, m. 25 Dec 1765, Benjamin JOHNSON, son of John and Sarah (PHILLIPS) JOHNSON, of Coventry. To date, I have found no information on the ancestry of Deborah (JOHNSON) YATES father, Elisha JOHNSON who married Deborah SHERMAN. He does not seem to have any connection with the Elkanah JOHNSON family of Coventry. Any help on these families would be greatly appreciated.........Dorothy Holgate
