A biography of Bartlett Yancey of Caswell County, North Carolina, found in the James Sprunt Historical Publications series, reads as follows:

"Bartlett Yancey, on his paternal side, was of Welsh extraction. An early ancestor was an Episcopal minister, ordained by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Three of his sons, Louis, Henry, and Richard emigrated from England to America, but when is not known to the family. Henry and Richard settled in Virginia and became citizens of usefulness and influence. Louis Yancey located in Granville County, NC and his son Bartlett Yancey Sr moved to Caswell . . . "

Although, often quoted the above statements have been proven to be incorrect. Bartlett Yancey Sr (Father of the more famous Bartlett Yancey Jr.) was the son of James Yancey of Granville County, Virginia - as proven by the will of James Yancey (Copy can be seen on Yancey Web Page).The Yancey who was the Episcopal Minister - was one Rev. Robert Yancey -who indeed did get ordained by the Bishop of Canterbury - and settled in Louisa County Virginia - This Rev. Robert Yancey - was a nephew of James Yancey of Granville - and the will of Rev. Robert Yancey (also found on the Web Page) shows that he did not have sons Louis, Henry & Richard.
