Judge John Marshall Yates

Believed to be the same John Marshall Yates who m. Virginia Christian (born 22 May 1800, died 1841 after giving him 12 children). A note in another source says that John Yates was the "ancestor of Weechie (Yates) Estill, a Terrill historian who supplied data for book by Inez Doshier". Source #1830 says that the last child of Va. Christian was b. 1841 (she died in childbirth?) and was named William Viley (Wiley?) Yates. Notes are unclear, but it appears that it indicates that John had 8 more children by his second wife Eliz. Terrill (Parker).

The following from newspaper may be his grandson:

Kinzer, James William -- d. 22 Mar 1880, aged 25y, at Red Bluff, Contra Costa Co., (CA I think), struck in the temple by a baseball in a game, b. Rand. Co, g-son of the late John M. Yates & nepher of the late John Kinzer, sister Mrs William Dukes lives near Martinez, James was a saddler by trade; THH 15 Apr 1880

I received this in 4/99, which was quite helpful and I added children:

Noted your ref. to John Marshall Yates and his wife Virginia Christian. According to my research their daughter Sarah Elizabeth, born 1833 (stated in her book of poems; 1850 census states her birth as 1840 in Clinton Twn in Randolph Co. MO) married George Washington Hunt. Sarah Elizabeth was a well known poet and I have a book of her poems which will go to the Huntsville Historical Society. She was a member of the Mt Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church near Darksville, MO estab. in 1852. Her 3 brothers fought in the Confederate Army - Dr. Paul Christian Yates, Dr. Willie Viley Yates, Robert Arthur (killed at Kennesaw Mt. Georgia, June 27, 1864. Her sisters were Virginia Yates McCanne, Ann Mary Yates Kinser, eldest sister, who went to CA in 1849 & died there during the Cholera epidemic. Her cousin Reuben Yates, (brother of Gov Richard Yates of ILL) was killed at the battle of Prairie Grove, Arkansas.
