In his will of June 6, 1691, GEORGE YATE of Anne Arundel County, Maryland, names his wife as MARY and has a step daughter mentioned as Elizabeth PLUMMER. This Mary is said to have been Mary Stockett Wells prior to her marriage to George Yate......

Who was JOSEPH and MARY YATE listed as parents of Elizabeth Yate, taken from the MARYLAND MARRIAGES (Anne Arundel County ) SEE MARYLAND ARCHIVES..
IT READS AS FOLLOWS:

"Elizabeth, dau. of Joseph and Mary Yate of AA Co., m. by 6 June 1691, Thomas Plummer (MWB 2:226, 6:212; MDTP 15:180)."
NOTE: The date given here, is the same as the Will of George Yate..........
Can you or anyone explain this?
Thanks,
Susan
