The marriage bond on M. records bears date, Feb. 24, 1783.
Thomas Segar signed marriage bond. In the settlement of the
estate of Col. James Montague, her name is mentioned as his dau.
inheriting certain negroes bequeathed by her grandfather Joseph
Chinn. The witnesses were Philip and Peter Montague. There is

her father's debts. Mr. Harry B. Yates was a relative of Rev. Bartholomew
Yates who was pastor of Christ church, Middlesex. He
was a brother of Catherine Yates, who m. Capt. John Montague.
Miss Mary Yates, whose will mentions Elizabeth Montague, was also
his sister. The estate was settled in 1769, and was divided among
in London in 1616, aged 103. From him the Gloucester Graves derive their pedigree. Their
arms were " Gu. an eagle displayed ; or, beaked, membered and ducally crowned, ar. bet eight
cross-crosslets of the second." The arms of the Salop family were "Or, a trefoil flipped,
vert." In Va., Middlesex Will Book for 1740, p. 4, has the will of Alexander Graves, he
mentions wife Mary, youngest dau. Amy Tyler, and grandchild Mary Philips. Thomas
Graves, also George Graves and his wife Mrs. Graves are on the list of living in Va.., 1623.
On the muster roll of 1624 we find the names of Robert Graves, came on the "Southampton,"
1623; another George Graves came on the " Sea Venture" and Elinor his wife came on the
" Susan," and John Graves "their sonne aged 10 yeres." Also the name of Capt. Thomas
Graves who came in the " Mary and Margrett " in 1607.
* Yates. This name is derived from " Yate-Stoop " in the dialect of North of England,
meaning a gate-post. Gates is another form of the name. Sometimes Yate appears to
signify a goat. The ancient arms of the family were "Per chevron, or and gu, three gates
countercharged two and one." Again, Yates of Cos. Wilts, Bucks, Oxford, Berks, etc.,
" Per fesse crenellee, or and gu, three gates countercharged." Katherine Yates, age 19, came j
to Va. in ship " Boneventure," in Jan., 1634; John Yates, age 20, came in the "America,"
June 23, 1635 ; Robert Yates, age 25, came in ship " 1
1
Globe," Aug. 7, 1635 ; Mr. Yates is mentioned
on list of the living in Va. in 1623. And the muster roll of 1624 has the name of
Edward Yates, age 18, came in the " Duty," 1619, and living at Sir George Yeardleys on Hogg
Island. See full pedigree of Yates in " Va. Genealogies," by Rev. Horace Edwin Hayden,
