The Yeoman’s (Son), the Yeoman’s Son v. Yeoman.
A freeholder; the first degree of commoners. Some "define a Yeoman to be a free-born Englishman, who may lay out of his own free land in revenue to the sum of forty shillings." Bailey. Under the feudal system a knight's fee was twenty pounds, whence it would follow, that an ordinary yeoman's revenue was one-tenth part of that of the knight; though some Yeomen, for example those of Kent, were much richer. See Whatman.
A man free—born, a freeholder; one next in order to the gentry.
