The following information was kindly given by Natalie Hughes:
The six volume set Lisle Letters contains a good amount of
information on the Yeo family of Devon in the sixteenth century.
I'm not connected to Yeo, but searched your site for Leonard Yeo
of Elizabeth City County in the early 1600's, looking for a
connection to Leonard Feild who came into possession of Leonard
Yeo's land there. Philip Bruce states that Leonard Yeo had
come from Devon. He had a relative Hugh Yeo here.
Here are my rough notes on Yeo in
Maryland/Virginia -- sources should be re-checked:
1639

County, Virginia.

1. Leonard Yeo m and ____ ____ had issue: Leonard Yeo died before
1699 s.p.; and Margaret; and Rebecca, sole executrix of her
father's will, which she proved, and is mentioned in that of her
husband died s.p. She married 1st, Col. Charles Morrison,
commander of Elizabeth City County. A note on the Morrison or
Moryson family was published in this Magazine vol. ii,
383-385. She m 2nd Col. John Lear of Nansemond
County.
2. Another son Samuel and Elizabeth Yeo had issue: Rebecca
Yeo, only daughter and heir, who married 27 August 1687 (as of

Bartholomew, 1689, as Rebecca Seldon, and as executrix in that of

She married Samuel Seldon, of Meeth and Elizabeth City; his
will..29 May 1720. ..... Long afterwards members of the
Selden family had a suit in regard to lands inherited from the
Morysons.

Baltimore County Families,
1659-1759 by Robert W. Barnes, has mention of eleven named Yeo.
The main paragraph is:
"Rev. John Yeo was the first Anglican clergyman known to
have settled in Maryland;
in 1676 wrote a letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury; married
by 2 Oct. 1686 Semelia, widow and admnx. of Ruthen Garrettson;
died by 2 Nov. 1686 when admin. bond was posted by Miles Gibson
with James Phillips and Thomas Richardson; estate was inventoried
by Thomas Hedge and James Phillips. In 1702 the heirs of
John Yeo of England (Arthur Lamprey of Beddiford, County Devon,
who married Elizabeth, widow of Joseph Yeo who was a brother of
John Yeo, clerk of Maryland,
and Joseph Yeo son of the aforesaid Joseph Yeo) appointed William
Pauley their attorney to sell any property formerly belonging to
John Yeo; may have left a son John and a married daughter, but if
so, they would have been his heirs."
There were several marriages, in Elizabethan
times, between Yeo's and Fortescues according to Lord
Clermont who wrote a book on the Fortescue history in 1869.
Dorothy Fortescue daughter of John Fortescue (died 1605) of
Filleigh, Devon who married a George Yeo
Mary daughter of Bartholomew Fortescue of Filleigh (b 1506 d 12
Sep 1557) who married Humphrey Yeo of Heaton
Elizabeth daugther of William Fortescue (1583) of Buckland
Filleigh, Devon who married John Yeo of Hench
Sarah daugther of Hugh Fortescue ( d 1 Aug 1600 aged 56) of
Wear-Gifford who married Leonard of Huish
Please note that Buckland Filleigh and Filleigh are different
villages some distance apart
This line branches back to Holsworthy in
the early 1700`s.
