Richard Yielding, of Cloghers

The start of [Deed of 1766].
This is clearly Richard Yielding of Ballybeggan, and his father James Yielding of Ballybeggan.
And James' sister Frances Yielding, and Frances' son Rowland Blennerhassett.
Deed registered 21 Apr 1766. Clearly sorting out property before Richard Yielding's marriage a few days later on 24 Apr 1766.

Richard Yielding.
See Wikitree.
He is party to [Deed of 1751] with his father James, who was then of Tralee.
By 1766 his father was of Ballybeggan, NE side of Tralee, Co.Kerry.

He must be Richard who mar Studdert in 1766:
He is clearly the Richard of Ballybeggan who married in 1766, and his wife died in 1768.
[Deed of 1766] is clearly about sorting out Yielding property before his marriage. The deed is registered 21 April 1766, just 3 days before his marriage.
Party to the deed are Richard Yielding of Ballybeggan and James Yielding of Ballybeggan (his father) and Blennerhassett relatives.

Richard mar 1stly, 24 Apr 1766, to Melicent Studdert [bapt 10 April 1750].
Melicent died 1768. She is listed as of Ballybeggan at death, wife of Richard.
She was buried 28 Feb 1768 [Rathkeale CoI par records].
See transcript from here. Think date of burial not date of death.
Richard and Melicent probably had issue:

1. Elizabeth Yielding,
   bapt 12 Aug 1767, Rathkeale. See transcript. See other transcript. "Yeilding" in transcript.
   Mother listed in transcript as "Meliora". That is probably a mis-reading of Millicent.
   Parents uncertain, but more likely to be this couple than a late baby for Richard's uncle and aunt Richard and Millicent (whose first child was born 1738, last child born 1763).

Richard mar 2ndly, 1771, to Anna Massy.
He lived at Cloghers House, on the SE outskirts of Tralee, Co.Kerry.

"Richard Yielding" is listed at Cloghers in [The Post-chaise Companion, 1786, p.201].
He is party to [Deed of 1793] with Barry Denny. He is listed as of Cloghers. Says he is son of James and brother of Theophilus.
His will dated 31 August 1802.
He died 1802-03. He died before March 1803.
His will proved 1804. See index. This will would be burnt in 1922.
Richard and Anna had issue:

1. Theophilus Yielding,
   Theophilus Colthurst Yielding, born 1781.
   A duel was fought on Sun 4 Aug 1805 at Tralee between Capt. Mockler and Theophilus Yielding. Neither injured.
   See item in the Hibernian Journal, Tue 6 August 1805.

   
   

2. Annabella Yielding, born 1781,
   mar 1811 or 1812 to Dr. Alexander Eagar and had issue.

   
   

3. Augustus Richard Yielding, born 1784,
   of Cloghers,
   had issue:
   1. Margaret Yielding,
      born 1832-33, age 16 at mar,
      mar 11 Jan 1849 to Hugh Eldon Yeilding [born 1829] and had issue.

• The Richard who married Studdert is him, not his cousin:
  • Wikitree formerly thought that Richard who married Studdert was this Richard's 1st cousin Richard Yielding of Rathkeale, Co.Limerick.
  • It is true that Studdert is of Rathkeale, not of Co.Kerry where this Richard is from. But maybe this Richard met her when visiting his Rathkeale cousins.
  • [Deed of 1766] and the marriage entry and the marriage notice all say the husband of Studdert is of Ballybeggan, Co.Kerry.
  • It is true their child seems to be bapt Rathkeale. But maybe his wife was staying with her family to give birth, and then they go back to Co.Kerry.
  • It is true the wife's burial is at Rathkeale, but maybe she died when visiting her family. Again, her burial says she is of Ballybeggan, Co.Kerry.
  • The real proof it is this Richard not his cousin is [Deed of 1766] which shows James and Richard of Ballybeggan. Clearly father and son.
