The Nansemond River meets the James River at Hampton Roads, the inlet separating Norfolk from Newport News. It was named after the Nansemond Indians. This was, and is, a great naval center. One of John's [Yates] sons, Richard, became a sea captain. The family seems to have been of a mercantile persuasion. To judge from immigration records, the Yateses were in alliance with William Barber another sea captain. The Barber family later migrated with the Yateses to Georgia and Florida. Family Bibles are full of Yates-Barber marriages. Yates family reunions in the South still bring out the Barbers, and vice versa.
William Barker (read Barber), mariner, and associates received 1,250 acres in Charles City County for the transportation of twenty persons, including John Yates and Richard Yates. The land was granted to him November 26, 1635.

The soldiers were sent in after unruly whites descended on the area in 1788 and began plundering the homes of the remaining Creek and Cherokee Indians, who had ceded the land in 1783. Others attempting to uphold law and order were Charles Cawthon, Claiboourne Cawthon, Elias Burgess, Josiah Burgess, Matthew Barber, Will Barber, William Cawthon, Peter Winn, Joseph Winn, Joseph Barber, Stephen Swain, John Winn, Mary Mayo, John Tapley and Usley Cawthon.
