1794 17 Feb. Final estate account of William Yarbrough. There is an oath attached, sworn to in Nansemond County, Virginia, by Richard Yarbrough which states the reason that appraisers were not present at the sale was because of his remote situation and apprehensions that the estate might be wasted by an imprudent brother who had been in possession of it and who had wasted a considerable part of it; says negroes fled to him in Petersburg to prevent James S. Yarbrough from conveying them to the Mississippi, the place that he was then destined for ... that the reason he is tardy filing the estate was that he had settled with all parties interested under his father's will except a younger brother who also went out of this county, but he having safely returned Richard felt it right to transmit papers to Prince Edward Court to be recorded. Oath was made 25 Oct 1793. Prince Edward County Virginia Will Book 2, pp 205-8 and 221-23.

The first land grant to James Smith Yarborough #363, 400 acres on the Mississippi River, was land which was originally granted to Charles Percy, bearing date of patent for James smith Yarborough, June 2, 1777. It is not clear whether this was a British or Spanish Land Grant. The legal representatives of Charles Percy took this land.
April 26, 1805, #22, Vol. 1, p. 42 of U.S. Land Grants shows that James Smith Yarborough, "a West Florida Yoeman," received land in Orleans TGerritory. His son Jordan also received land adjoining. The National Archives Documents show James Smith Yarborough #4735, No. 365 (Rec. V 14, p. 448-450)

Third. One other tract of land granted to James Yarbourg, bounding on the upper side by the last preceding tract of land, and on the lower side by lands of William Yarbourg, having eight arpens in front, by forty arpens in depth, and containing three hundred and twenty superficial arpens: the certificate of survey dated 14th of April, 1794, and patent dated 30 July 1795.

The said four tracts of land are claimed by virtue of the said four patents and surveys, and of an uninterrupted possession and enjoyment by claimant, and those under whom he holds, for and since the respective dates thereof: in support of which he herewith produces the said four patents and surveys (original), with the conveyances from the said patentees to his ancestor Samuel Flower, as also the conveyance from Samuel Flower to the claimant.
We are, therefore, of the opinion that this claim ought to be confirmed.
