Yonekura Tadasuke was the sixth son of Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu, a favorite of shōgun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi who served in a number of important posts within the administration of the Tokugawa shogunate. In 1710, he was adopted by Yonekura Masateru, the daimyō of Minagawa Domain in Shimotsuke Province, and succeeded to the head of the Yonekura clan and daimyo of Minagawa two years later. On September 1, 1716, he was received in a formal audience by Shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune. On July 27, 1722, he transferred the seat of the Yonekura clan to Mutsuura Domain in southern Musashi Province, (modern-day Kanazawa-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture), where his descendants continued to reside until the Meiji Restoration.
Yonelura Tadasuke died of illness at the young age of 30, leaving behind Yonekura Satonori, his two-year-old heir. This resulted in an O-Ie Sōdō, in which some of his retainers misrepresented the young heir's age to the shogunate.
Yonekura Tadasuke was married to a daughter of Honda Tadanao, the daimyō of Koriyama Domain in Yamato Province.
