Subject: Re: Yeoman From: Jim & Bunnie Gilmer Date: May 06, 1999 Hi everyone, Ancestry's Concise Genealogical Dictionary gives this definition of Yeoman: A freeholder who works his own small estate; an attendant in a royal household; a rank below that of gentlemen. In Colonial America, it seems that the first and last of these 3 definitions would have been true.
