YEATES

of entirely independent Assemblies. Yeates continued to represent New Castle in that of the territories, in which he exercised a potent influence. He was the spokesman of the delegation of representatives of the Lower counties, who after their withdrawal from the General Assembly called upon William Penn and his Council and remonstrated against the measures of the Assembly. He is referred to in letters of James Logan to Penn, as one of the leaders of the party, who, as Logan asserted, were seeking to have the Crown make New Castle the seat of government. He was one of those who prepared an address to the Lords of Trade in England, complaining bitterly against Penn and the Quakers, on the ground of their refusal to make any provision for the defense of the coast and frontiers. He was a strong adherent of the Church of England, and was one of the earliest vestrymen of Christ Church, Philadelphia, as well as of St. Paul's Church at Ches- ter, with his brother-in-law, James Sandelands, exhibiting great zeal in the found- ing of the latter church, 1703. Though he was representative and champion of the rights of New Castle county, he resided during the most active years of his life at Chester. When William Penn established the town of Chester into a borough, 1701, Jasper Yeates was named in the charter as one of the first four burgesses, and he became Chief Burgess in 1703. At a meeting of Provincial Council, March 19, 1704-5, he was named with others to survey and lay out a road, "the Queen's Road," from Chester to Darby, connecting Chester more directly with Philadelphia and the settlements adjacent. Notwithstanding his opposition to the "Quaker Party" and the closer adherents of William Penn, he was the recipient of a num- ber of honorable and responsible commissions from the Proprietor and the Crown. In 1698, he was, with five others, given a dedimusde postatem, under the great Seal of England, to administer the oaths to Colonial Governors and such as should receive Royal commissions, and did so in the case of Governors Andrew Hamilton, John Evans and Charles Gookin. In 1717, he received a similar writ from Will- iam Penn to administer the oath to Sir William Keith. He died at New Castle, on his plantation near the town, May 2, 1720, leaving a will dated February 6, 1718- 19. His wife Catharine and six children survived him.

JOHN YEATES, third son of Jasper, the Judge and Councillor, born at Upland, March I, 1701, accompanied his parents in their removal to New Castle county, when but a child. Under his father's will he inherited the mansion, mills, wharfs, etc., at Chester, and he became a shipping merchant, doing a large business with the West Indies. He later removed to the Island of Barbadoes, where he was living in 1741. About ten years later he removed to Philadelphia and purchased of his nephew Joshua Carpenter wharves and other property on Water street, and also land in Wicacoa, where he was a resident, 1757. He was some years very prosperous, and 1748 executed a will disposing of such large sums as to indicate that he was then possessed of a considerable estate. He, however, met with heavy losses, and in 1762, when making an application to the English government for a position as Comptroller of Customs for the Colony was very much reduced in circumstances. Chief Justice William Allen made a personal appeal to the Honor- able Thomas and John Penn, in which he states that John Yeates is "a very honest nian, an old School Fellow of mine, who has been much reduced by misfortunes of Trade." July 24, 1764, he was commissioned Comptroller of Customs at Poconoke, at the head of Wicomico River, Maryland. He died at Vienna, Dorset county, Maryland, October 9, 1765. He married, 1730, Elizabeth Sidebotham, born Octo- ber 16, 1704, died September 16, 1753.

county ; was made Chairman of Committee of Correspondence, and was active in organizing and equipping the militia of the county throughout the war. He was a delegate from Lancaster county to the convention that ratified the Constitution of the United States, 1787, and with Chief Justice Mckean and James Wilson, was one of the committee who reported to the convention the form of ratification adopted by the convention. He was commissioned Justice of Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, March 21, 1791, and served until his death with much honor and ability. With James Ross and William Bradford, was one of the three commis- sioners appointed by President Washington, August 9, 1794, to confer with the inhabitants of Western Pennsylvania with regard to the Whiskey Insurrection, and discharged that duty in a manner very satisfactory to the administration. In 1776 he visited the scene of Braddock's defeat of twenty years previous, and wrote an interesting account of the field, afterwards published in Haxard's Register of Pennsylvania (vol. vi., pp. 104-5).

He prepared notes of the cases heard before him, which were published after his death and are known as "Yeates Notes of Cases, in the Supreme Court of Penn- sylvania." He died at Lancaster March 14, 1817, and was buried at St. James' Protestant Episcopal Church there, under a pyramidal tombstone, upon which is inscribed the following epitaph :

"He fulfilled the various duties of life with fidelity. His integrity was inflexible. As a Judge he was most learned and eminent and in the exercise of his publick functions, he deservedly obtained the confidence of his fellow citizens and left behind him a name which will only perish with the judicial records of the country." An excellent portrait of Judge Yeates is in possession of the family.

He married at Lancaster, December 30, 1767, Sarah Burd, eldest daughter of Col. James Burd, by his wife Sarah, daughter of Edward and Sarah (Plumley) Shippen, and sister to Chief Justice Edward Shippen. She survived him and died at Lancaster, October 25, 1829, and is buried by his side in the churchyard of St. James.

McCALL FAMILY.

GEORGE McCALL, one of Philadelphia's early Colonial merchants, was a son of Samuel McCall, a wealthy merchant of Glasgow, Scotland, by a daughter of Rob- ert Dundas, of Arniston, county Midlothian, an eminent lawyer, and Judge of Court Sessions, who was grandfather of Henry Dundas, first Viscount Melville. At the time of his marriage, 1716, George McCall was a prosperous merchant in Philadelphia, having a store and wharf at Union and Plum streets. He was elected to Common Council of Philadelphia, October 3, 1722, and, October 16, 1724, was appointed by Provincial Council, with other "persons, of Credit and Reputation, Skilled in Maritime and Mercantile affairs" to settle the accounts of shipwrecked mariners with the owners of goods imported by them. In 1727, he was one of "divers merchants of Philadelphia," who petitioned Gov. Gordon, in reference to the evils likely to result from the passage by the Assembly of an Act in reference to importing and packing, etc. About 1725, in connection with An- thony Morris, he erected a forge on Manatawny Creek, in Berks county, known for many years as "McCall's Forge" which was supplied with pig iron from the Colebrookdale furnace, in which he likewise had an interest, then managed by Thomas Potts, Jr. May 28, 1733, he purchased of the heirs of Henry and Richard Scoble, 102 acres in Paasyunk township, Philadelphia, including a strip of meadow on Hollander's Creek, which tract was called "Chevy Chase." June 20, 1735, he purchased of John Penn, the Proprietaries Manor of Gilberts, comprising 14,960 acres, lying on the Schuylkill, in what is now Montgomery county, which he named Douglass Manor. It included Douglass township, part of Pottsgrove township, and about one-third of the present borough of Pottstown. He afterwards recon- veyed to Hon. John Penn, three-fourths interest in a copper mine discovered on the tract. On February 24, 1736, he obtained a warrant for 500 acres of the Lot- tery Lands in Bucks county, and at about the same date purchased 300 acres near Crosswicks, New Jersey. He was a tenant of the parsonage House of Christ Church, 1718, and was a member of the Vestry, 1721-4; was a liberal contributor to rebuilding the church, 1739. He died in Philadelphia, October 13, 1640, and was buried at Christ Church.

George McCall married August 9, 1716, Ann, born in Pennsylvania, December 27, 1697, daughter of Provincial Councillor Jasper Yeates, of New Castle, by his wife Catharine, daughter of James Sandelands, a Scotchman, who settled at Up- land (now Chester), 1665; was Captain of a company of Militia at Upland, 1675, and was one of the nine members of Council appointed by Gov. Markham, August 3, 1681. His name frequently appears on the ancient records of Upland Court, and the first Assembly of the Province of Pennsylvania is said to have met in his "Double House." He was commissioned a Justice, 1681, and served as such until his death, April 12, 1692, at the age of fifty-seven years. A beautiful carved mural tablet of massive gray sandstone erected to his memory in St. Paul's Church, Chester, contains on its upper half, the arms of the Sandelands family, ar. a bend az., and the words Vive MEMOR. LETHI FFUGIT HORA; the lower half con- tains many emblems of mortality, excellently carved, the whole being an excellent
