Death
Joseph C. Yates died on March 19, 1837. He was initially buried in a family cemetery in Schenectady County, New York. In 1889, his daughter Jane reinterred the remains of Joseph Yates and those of several other family members to the Neil family mausoleum in the churchyard of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Bronx County, New York. At present, there are no markers on the Neil family mausoleum to indicate that Gov. Yates is buried there.
In recognition of his contributions to public life in his native state Yates County, New York and the Town of Yates are named after Governor Yates.
