Notes

• Thomas Yale was the eldest son of Dr. David Yale D.C.L., Chancellor ofChester, and lived at Chester, England and at Plas Grono, the familyestate near Wrexham, Wales.  He married about the year 1612, AnneLloyd, daughter of George Lloyd, Bishop of Chester, 1604-1615, by hiswife Anne, daughter of John Wilkinson of Norwich.  Lord Bishop GeorgeLloyd was son of Meredith Lloyd, of Carnarvonshire, and was born inthe year 1560, at Carnarvonshire, Wales. He received his earlyeducation in Wales and was a fellow of Magdalene College, Cambridge.Was Rector of Heswell-in-Wirral, Cheshire, and divinity reader inChester Cathedral.  Received appointment of Bishop of Soder and Man,in the year 1600 and of Chester in 1604, retaining the latterpossition until his death.  He also held livings, in addition to hissees.  He dies 1 August 1615, aged fifty-five years and was interredin Chester Cathedral.     It has been claimed that this Thomas Yalewas named "David", but the will of his father, Dr. David Yale, whichis given inconnection with his biography, is positive proof, that thefather of David, Ann, and Thomas Yale, who were the first Yales inAmerica, was named "Thomas".  It has also been claimed that Anne (Ann)his wife, who afterwards became the wife of Theophilus Eaton, wasdaughter of Bishop Morton of Chester, but this also is an error; asBishop Morton died unmarried; and further there is ample evidence thatshe was, as has been stated, daughter of Bishop Lloyd of Chester.J.P. Earwaker, in his History of East Cheshire, in a note on pagethirty-three, states she was a daughter of Bishop Lloyd of Chester.Also, A.N. Palmer, author of "The Country Townships of the Old Parishof Wrexham," is quite certain that this statement of her parentage iscorrect and states, among other evidence, that Mr. Edward MeredithJones of Wrexham, paid a visit to Plas Grono in 1876, while the oldhouse was being demolished, and made a sketch of the coat of armspainted on one of the mantlepieces, which he later showed to him.  Hesays the shield represented a cross saltire, impaling a chevronbetween three mullets, and states further, that the coat of arms ofthe eldest brother of Bishop Lloyd, was known to be"--Gules, a Chevronbetween three mullets or,; and that therefore the coat of arms on themantlepiece at Plas Grono, was that of Thomas Yale, who married Anne,eldest daughter of Bishop Lloyd.     In my Line (David C. Yale)
