In the year 1699 the Rev. Robert Yates is minister, and
continues so until the year 1703 or 1704, when he returned to
England in ill health. He appears to have been esteemed by his
vestry, who continued his salary for some time in the hope of
his return. The Rev. Bartholomew Yates (believed to be his son)
succeeded him. After eighteen years of faithful service, the
parish of York-Hampton, a more desirable one, endeavoured to
obtain his services. The vestry of Middlesex, however, raised
his salary to twenty thousand pounds of tobacco, and enlarged
and improved his house. The following entry shows that, in order
to raise his salary, they thought it necessary to make
application to the Legislature:--
The humble petition of the vestry held for Christ Church parish
the 7th day of May, 1722, showeth that this vestry, taking into
consideration the great satisfaction given to this parish for
about eighteen years, and the general good character of our
minister, Mr. Bartholomew Yates, which we are apprehensive has
induced some other parishes to entertain thoughts of
endeavouring to prevail with him to quit this parish for some of
those more convenient, humbly pray they may be enabled to make
use of such measures as may be proper and reasonable to secure
so great a good to the parish.
Such were the manifestations of regard for him that he continued
their minister until his death, in 1734, being more than
thirty-one years their pastor. Having sons in England at
college, the vestry waited for two years until his son
Bartholomew was ordained. In the interval the parish was served
by the Revs. John Reade and Emanuel Jones, from neighbouring
parishes. He served them until the year 1767.
In 1758, we also find the Rev. William Yates and the Rev. Robert
Yates, ministers of the adjoining parishes of Petsworth and
Abington, in Gloucester county, believed to be either sons or
grandsons of the elder Bartholomew Yates, and grandsons or
great-grandsons of the Rev. Robert Yates. All of them are
believed to have been worthy ministers of the Gospel. They have
been often quoted as proof that there were some deserving ones
among the old clergy of Virginia, and that ministers' sons are
not always the worst in the parish, as some enemies of religion
say. A large tombstone was placed, by the parishioners, over the
grave of the elder Bartholomew Yates, which is still in good
order and the inscription legible. It is as follows:--
"Here lie the remains of the Rev. Bartholomew Yates, who
departed this life the 26th day of July, 1734, in the
fifty-seventh year of his age. He was one of the visitors of
William and Mary College, as also Professor of Divinity in that
Royal Foundation. In the conscientious discharge of his duty few
ever equalled him, none ever surpassed him. He explained the
doctrine by his practice, and taught and led the way to heaven.
Cheerfulness--the result of innocence--always sparkled in his
face, and, by the sweetness of his temper, he gained universal
good-will. His consort enjoyed in him a tender husband, his
children an indulgent father, his servants a gentle master, his
acquaintance a faithful friend. He was minister of this parish
upward of thirty years; and, to perpetuate his memory, this
monument is erected at the charge of his friends and
parishioners."
