This Note on the Yeo family provides records extracted from the British Museum's copy of J L Vivian's manuscript "Extracts from Parish Registers and Transcripts in Co. Devon. Yeo is an ancient Devon family. First mention of the name was of one William atte Yeo, who was Sheriff of Devon in 1359. William was knighted in 1346 by King Edward 111, who called him 'my beloved'. It has been suggested that this was because of William's bravery in the Battle of Crecy. Google with the Archive Organization has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries.
