2644–2645. Thomas Yale was born in England about 1580, and died in England in August, 1619. Anne Lloyd was born in England about 1590, and died most likely in London, England, about 1660. They were married about 1612. She took the name Anne Yale. He is the son of David, (Dr.) and Frances (Lloyd) Yale. She is the daughter of George and Anne (Wilkinson) Lloyd. They had four children:
| i. | David Yale was born in Chester, England, or Plas Grono, Wales, in 1613, and died in Plas Grono, Wales, on June 14, 1690. He and his wife, Ursula, had six children. The third, Elihu Yale, was the major benefactor of Yale College (now University) and the source of its name. | |

| iv. | Elizabeth (Mary) Yale was born in Chester in 1618. Since she was not mentioned in her father's will dated August 15, 1625, it is assumed that she had died before that time. She was also called Mary Wright. |

| i. | Theophilus Eaton was baptized in London, England, on March 11, 1630. He moved to Dublin, Ireland | |

Thomas Yale lived at Chester, England, and at Plas Grono, the family estate near Wrexham, Wales. His will, to be found in the Chester Probate Registry, was dated August 27, 1619. His personal estate was valued at £36–10s–8d.
The widow Anne Yale married Theophilus Eaton, a wealthy merchant of London, who was the eldest son of the Richard Eaton, (Rev), A. B., vicar of Great Budworth, Cheshire. Theophilus Eaton was born about 1591 at Stony Stratford, Buckinghamshire, England. He, together with his wife, Anne, and three step-children, David, Anne, and Thomas Yale, sailed for New England in America in 1637. In his company was Rev. John Davenport, a celebrated London clergyman, who was seeking to escape religeous harassment. They landed in Boston, Massachusetts, and preferring to go into the wilderness, Eaton with a few men, after exploring the coast of the sound, spent the following winter at a desirable place in that region. In the spring, the remainder of the company sailed from Boston and in due time arrived at the place where Eaton has spent the winter. There, in April, 1638, under a large tree, on the Sabbath after their arrival, Davenport preached his first sermon in the wilderness. A day of fasting and prayer for direction was observed, and they formed a government, pledging themselves "to be governed in all things by the rules which the Scripture held forth to them." Such was the settlement on New Haven, Connecticut. They purchased the right to the land, Quinipiak, from the Indians and Eaton was elected the first governor of New Haven colony in October, 1639. He was re-elected to this post annually for over 20 years until his death on January 7, 1658. He was by far the wealthiest planter in the colony: in 1640 his personal estate was estimated at £3000, about three times that of any other planter, and about one tenth that of the entire colony. Deacon William Peck, presented elsewhere in this genealogy was also a founder of the New Haven colony and a signer of the "Fundamental Agreement of Quinnipiack".
It is claimed that, after her husband's death, Anne Lloyd-Yale-Eaton returned
to England in 1659 where she lived with her son, David, in London.
