Bobby Rawls, Big Spring, Texas, 18 April 2016.
Note that the last name of Diana {Yeates} is NOT PROVEN. When I first started my research I associated William and Dianah Rawls with JOHN YATES, I put in my notes that I thought they MAY be related and that Dianah and John MAY be brothers. from that point it popped up all over the internet as FACT, but NEVER with any proof. Will of John Yeates of Fishing Creek, Edgecombe county, North Carolina dated 25th February 1745/6, May court 1746; son Elisha 80 acres of Beach Swamp; son Frederick 80 acres joining WILLIAM RAWLES, son John 80 acres where I live; son Elisha -mare; son Shadrerick- mare; Daughter Susanna- cow & calf; Daughter Grace- cow & calf; wife Mary- rest of my estate; other legaties; executors: Wife & Henry Yeates of Bertie county; wits: Richard Harlock, JAMES PERRY, Jeremiah Perry. [2] I believe that James Perry married a sister of William Rawls, the Perry family also came from Nansemond county, Virginia and he and wife named one of their sons RAWLS PERRY. I will add their ties later.
Diana is on several other records with one where she retains her dower rights of land., NOTE: First names of these families are very similar, it may help prove the parents of each via NAMING PATTERNS. NOTE: See the deed between West Wilkins and wife Priscilla to Edward Brantley dated 7November 1771, stating that Dianna Rolls (Rawls) acknowledged that she had received her 1/3 dower, [3]

(2) Why is Nansemond mentioned? There is no evidence to link John Yates of Nansemond to the Maryland Yateses from George Yates the Surveyor of Maryland. Most likely they were unrelated. There were several unrelated Yates lines in the Colonies. That is clear now from Y-DNA tests. Let's not link families together without evidence.
