I presume many of you have traced ancestry back to yeomen and even gentlemen? My Simons and Hempsons of Elmstead/Clacton in Essex were described as gentlemen in wills.
I think the Yate family of Burford in Oxfordshire, my ancestors were notable in the area. They were mentioned in the Visitation of Oxfordshire in about 1680.
