Yeadon/Yeedon
Description
A family living in the Boyle area of county Roscommon at the end of the 17th century. The name appears to have died out early in the 18th century due to lack of male heirs. Henry Yeadon was Archdeacon of Achonry in the late 17th century. The family intermarried with the Lloyds of Rockville, the Kelly of Kellybrook and the Phibbs of Rathmullen.
