David Yale (1676-1763) of Plas-yn-Ial, Denbighshire, left one surviving son, John Yale (1716-1789) who married Frances, daughter of John Jones of Llwyn Onn. Their son, the Rev. John Yale, died unmarried in 1800 and was succeeded by his sister, Sarah Yale, who died unmarried in 1821. By Sarah's will Plas-yn-Ial was entailed on William Parry Jones-Parry (d. 1867), younger son of Thomas Parry Jones-Parry of Llwyn Onn in Denbighshire, and Madryn in Caernarfonshire.
