Yeoman

1) John Yeoman of Glastonbury d. bef 1740.

John Yeoman paid rates from 1721 – 26/7. William Hodges was uncle and trustee for John Yeoman and is referred to several times by John Cannon [see Money pp. 529, 540, 585-7] In January 1740 John jun “was going to take out letters of administration to his late mother's effects (she dying intestate) as also to choose a new trust to bring the former to an account who was appointed by the will of his late father (viz. William Hodges of Butleigh, David Bell of Glaston & others), they having as it appeared done injury to the said minor in what he ought to have possessed of his said father's effects”. Th e same day the said John went to take out a license to marry one Amy Allwood. Cannon describes Amy as being without fortune but of sharp wit while John Yeoman was 'the opposite and deformed of visage & defective in his speech by means of a canker & the unskillfulness of a surgeon which undertook to cure him, for want of which he became a meer object and sad spectacle to all'. Cannon though she was just after his money but states 'however, she proved a sure guide to him and his substance'. The matter was settled out of court in Nov 1740.

In May 1742 (Money p.642) Cannon wrote letters for John and Amy Yeoman to her brother John Elliott Allwood on board the ship Princess Rpyal in Jamaica 'about particulars needed to collect £40 due him from Portsmouth'.
