Biography

Ralph was born about 1560. He was the son of Ralph Yearly. He passed away about 1640. From Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography pg. 39 "'Yardley, George, deputy governor of Virginia, from May, 1616, to May, 1617 and governor and captain-general of Virginia from April, 1619 to November 18, 1621, and from May 17, 1626 to November 13, 1627, was son of Ralph Yardley, citizen and merchant tailor of Bionshaw Lane, London, who married (1) Agnes Abbot and (2) Rhoda. He was one of four brothers: Ralph; George, the subject of the present sketch; John and Thomas; and a sister Anne, who married Edwaid Irby."

When Ralph's brother George died in 1627, Ralph became guardian of George's three minor children; Ralph also successfully challenged Francis West's attempt to obtain a widow's third from the estate of George Yardley. (Francis was briefly married to George's widow.)^[1]
