Ralph Yeardley was a merchant tailor who lived near London south of the Thames river circa 1560 to 1603. He married Rhoda Marston in 1577 and had at least two sons, Ralph and George.

Their son George was baptized at St. Saviour's Parish, Southwark, Surrey, England. He went on to join military and fight in Holland before sailing to Jamestown, VA. In Virginia George rose above his humble beginnings and was named Governor three times. He was knighted by King James in 1618, and in 1619 he called for the House of Burgesses and led the first meeting of representative government in North America.

Ralph died before February 18th, 1603 when his will was probated in London.
