His share of his father's estate, according to the will of 1691, consisted of one-half of the 700 acre tract of "Yate His Forebearance", lying on the north shore of the Patapsco River, in Baltimore Co., as well as the entire tract "Forebearance", of 140 acres lying in the falls of the Patapsco River on the south bank, then in Baltimore Co., now in Howard Co., MD. On May 8, 1705, by virtue of a warrant from the Lord Proprietary, George Yate of Baltimore County was granted 400 acres of land which had been renewable on February 29, 1704/05. The certificate read, "...these are therefore to certify that by appointment of Clement Hill, Jr., Surveyor General of the Western Shore...have laid out at the head of the Patapsco River...a tract of land for George Yate, known as "Yates Contrivance". (Patents Liber C D, folio 276, Land Office, Annapolis, MD.) George Yate lived on "Yate His Forebearance" before he patented "Yates Contrivance", but we do know that the latter became his dwelling plantation and was his residence at the time of his death some years later. Besides being a planter in the very productive and affluent section of Elk Ridge, he operated a brick yard with his friend Edward Teall. About 1700 George Yate married Rachel, fifth child of Captain Richard Warfield, Sr., an outstanding citizen of Anne Arundel County. By his will dated January 10, 1703/04, and proved in Anne Arundel County on February 11, 1703/04, Richard devised to his daughter Rachel in fee simple a 150 acre portion of "Warfield Range", but in the event of her death without issue, it was to revert to the testator's son, Richard Warfield II. (This was moot, since Rachel and George Yate did have issue. Rachel left her 150 acres to son George Yate III.) In another portion of Richard's will, he bequeathed to his daughter Rachel Yate, or to her children at the age of twenty-one years, certain articles of personal property. (Wills, Liber 11, folio 409, Hall of Records.) In an account upon the estate of Richard Warfield, Sr., rendered by his executors: John Warfield and Richard Warfield accounted for the following disbursement "Of cash paid to George Yate of a portion of the deceased's estate due to Rachel his wife another heir of the accounts as per receipt of 'a34.2.0". Thus the marriage of George Yate and Rachel is proven absolutely. (Inventory and Accounts, Liber 25, folio 63, Hall of Records.) On July 5, 1712, George Yate, of Baltimore County, Planter, conveyed to John Yernel, of the same country, Planter, his portion of "Yate His Forebearance", that is 382 acres, which he had inherited by the will of his parent. No wife waived dower. (Baltimore County Deeds, Liber R R #A, folio 208.) It has been stated by some researchers, though without documentary proof, that his wife Rachel died during the year 1709. From the above conveyance, it IS evident she had died prior to 1712. He married, secondly, Ruth ?, who survived him. The will of George Yate (sic) was dated September 13, 1717, and proved in Baltimore County on November 18,1717, by William Hamilton, Samuel Taylor, and Joseph Harp. (Wills, Liber 14, folio 340.) He devised his four sons George, Joshua, SAMUEL, and Benjamin, and their heirs, the dwelling plantation "Yate Contrivance", the equal divisions were to be made by John Warfield and Richard Warfield when the eldest son, George, attained the age of twenty-one years. Furthermore, the eldest son was to have the first choice of the divisions, but in the event that any of his sons died before they reached the age of twenty-one, the division was to be made among the survivors. Personal property was left to his son George, daughter Eleanor, and his brother, John Yates, and the latter's wife Elizabeth. His friend, Edward Teall, was bequeathed certain articles of personal property, and one-half of the production from the brickyard until his eldest son came of age. Edward Teall, furthermore, was "...to have oversight of the plantation..." and to sell the tract "Forebearance". He bequeathed his wife (unnamed, but had to be Ruth ?)'a35, and named her executrix with Edward Teall. The residue of the personal estate was to be divided equally among his four above named sons and three daughters, Eleanor, Mary, and Rachel. Somehow Edward Teall did not administer the estate jointly with the widow. The will was exhibited before the Deputy Commissary of Baltimore County for the Prerogatives Court during the February session of 1717/18. (Testamentary Proceedings, Liber 23, folio 175, Hall of Records.) The inventory of the personal estate was made on June 10, 1718, by Christopher Randall and William Hamilton, and displayed an appraisement of 'a375.11.9. John Outerlong and John Israel signed as the greatest creditors, while John Yate signed as kinsman (that is, John Yate, brother to the deceased George Yate), and were satisfied with this appraisement. (Inventory, Liber 1, folio 27.) The inventory was presented at court and passed by the Deputy Commissary on July 9, 1718. (Testamentary Proceedings, Liber 23, folio 211.) George's widow, Ruth, soon married Joseph ARY, and with him became executors of the estate. (Ruth's marriage to Joseph must have been almost immediately after George's death, because they became the "de facto" executors almost at once. This explains why, even though he was named co-executor, Edward Teall did administer the estate jointly with Ruth. Somehow, Ruth and Joseph forced Edward out of the administration and took it over themselves.) On September 1, 1726, almost 9 years after George's death, the estate still had not been settled by Ruth and Joseph, and, at the request of John Hall, Esq., the Sheriff of Baltimore County, issued a citation against Joseph Ary and Ruth his wife, "...executors of George Yate late of Baltimore County, deed, to show cause why they had not passed an account." (Testementary Proceedings, Liber 27, folio 33.) Citations were issued again at the November Court in 1726, at the January Court of 1726/27, and again during the March Court of 1726/27. (Testamentary Proceedings, Liber 27, folio 336, 370, 387.) From the records it is shown that the widow and her husband thus defied the court and failed to ever file an account. Ruth, George's second wife and step-mother to George's children, and her husband became the guardians of the minor children, and it is assumed that they dissipated the estate of their wards. Perhaps at this time, 1727, then almost 10 years after George's death, there were NO proceeds left of the personal estate to distribute; however, at this time, the elder children, having come of age, claimed their share of the real property. Unfortunately, there was no real property left to claim!
