About John Yates, of Dan River
not the same as John Yates, III who married Elizabeth Yates
John’s lineage and birthplace are unknown. Even the 1715 birth year is just an estimate based on the ages of his children. As such, I’ve removed the connection. Please don’t reconnect. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Yates-942

John Yates of Dan River.
John Yates (of Dan River) was born about 1715 and died before 23 April 1778 when his will was proved. He married Elizabeth (there is no proof that her maiden name was Kilgore), b. 1718, d. 1795. They both died in Pittsylvania County, Virginia.

He owned a tavern near Gretna, Virginia (on Rte. 29 near Chatham) that is on the Historic Site register.
John Yates is listed on the tithables of Pittsylvania Co. with his son John and slaves Bob and Cate. John Yates left his will in Pittsylvania County in 1778. He continued to record most of his land dealings in Halifax Co. even after Pittsylvania was formed in 1767. He is known in family history circles as John Yates of Dan River. His will was dated October 24, 1777 and was probated April 23, 1778.
The Blue Ridge Park created in this century took part of the Yates land. There is a Yates reunion in Patrick Springs. They were all Primitive Baptists. Could be the John Yates who received a grant of 356 acres in Virginia in 1735 (Bishop Meade) and the John Yeates who received 204 acres in Brunswick County, July 26, 1747 (No. 28, p. 89). A John Yates also received 348 acres in Pittsylvania County, March 1, 1773; alternatively this could have been his son, John L. Yates.
Known children: Lydia, John, George, Stephen, Elijah, Hannah, Ann, Martha.
