Bartholomew Yates was an immigrant to Virginia in 1700, a visitor to William and Mary College, professor of divinity, minister of several Anglican parishes in Middlesex county, and the patriarch of a large Virginia family. This geneology describes in detail many of his descendants and relatives, including Pocahontas and Powhatan, John and Thomas Rolfe, Robert "King" Carter, the Bollings and Murrays, and many Virginians who served America in every major war down to the present. Sprinkled throughout are little-known anecdotes passed down through generations of the families.
