He moved around a lot (Rathkeale, Elmgrove, Booterstown) but it is clear the following is the same person.

Richard Yielding is party to [Deeds of 1774]. He is administrator of his father's estate. Deeds concern lands in South Liberties of Limerick city.
He is Richard Yielding of Elmgrove, in the Liberties of Limerick city, who is party to [Deed of 1777]. Lands in the Liberties of Limerick. It lists his wife "Susana" and eldest son Thomas. One witness is Thomas Warner of city of Cork.
Richard Yielding of Elmgrove, Co.Limerick, is party to his brother William's marriage settlement [Deed of 1780].
He is party to lost Exchequer Bills of 1781.
He must be "Richard Yielding" of think Newtown in Co.Cork who is party to [Deed of 1788]. This must be Newtown, Shandrum par (see above). Think this is him because the "lives" on the deed are his mother "Melicent" and his brother Francis.
