Not my line, but, this William H. Yale, appears to be the William H. Yale, son of Frank W. Yale and Cynthia Pinney.
According to Yale Genealogy and History of Wales, page 482, he was born in NJ, but census records state he was b. CT. It is noted that he was a journalist.
His father was son of George Wooster Yale & Lucy Davis, of Hartford & New Haven.
I have extensive information the the ancestry of this family if you contact me direct at:
