Thomas Yeo of Bradworthy (1764–1834) was a grandson of Thomas Yeo and Elizabeth Gist, who form part of an extensively researched family. Their descendant Mary Elizabeth Jessie Yeo drew up a pedigree of his family in 1907, and Carol Hudd has investigated some of the 19th- and 20th-century lines of descent.
Thomas married Grace Ashton in 1790; he farmed land at Bradworthy and in the adjacent parish of Kilkhampton, and it was in Bradworthy that his eight children were baptised:
