Sheila Yeo corresponded with Teresa Drewett, Ian Maidment and Norma Biggs about some of the descendants of John and Frances. Martyn Yeo has explored the links to their line, as has David Treloar – there is much still to be confirmed. See also The Yeo Family by Yve McLaughlin.
John and Frances’s grandson Peter Yeo married Ann Ivemay; some of their descendants settled in the Portsmouth area and some emigrated to Australia.
John and Frances’s great x4 granddaughter Susanna Yeo was baptised at Werrington in 1807, daughter of Thomas Yeo and Elizabeth Mason. Susanna is later recorded as Susan Yeo; she married and emigrated to Australia.
