         A J Young [Y9c10], son of Amaziah Young and Mary Elizabeth Cherry, was born in December 1859 at Williamsport, TN.

There were twelve Walton marriages in Leake Co between 1861 and 1892, thus indicating that there was a second or third Walton family living in Leake Co at the same times as Allen Walton’s family. (DW, 105mn, 222nqr)


         Adam Young, son of William Young and Margaret Neil of the Enoree River area along the Spartanburg-Laurens Co line in SC, was born about 1773 in 96 District of South Carolina Colony. He was a minor when his father willed one-seventh of the Enoree River plantation to him in October 1787. When Adam became of legal age, he and his brother William sold their share of the property to Daniel McKie on 20 January 1806. This land was located west of William Stone's and east of Robert Simms' land, on the north side of the Enoree River. See Adam Young [Y11]. (NY, MM,JE, 2hyz, 1wzaehy)


         Adam Young [Y11] may have been the son of William Young of the Enoree River of the southern part of Spartanburg Co SC, although there is no strong evidence to prove this. On 17 July 1797 Adam bought 834 acres on both sides of Richland Creek in what was to become Giles Co from Joseph Phillips of SumnerCo TN. Adam, at that time, was living in Davidson Co TN and had to be of legal age to buy land, hence he must have been born before August 1776. This Adam Young was the first Young to own land in what was to become Giles Co. On 1 August 1809 he sold this land, "being in what was the middle District now Bedford Co on Richland creek of Elk River" to "Jinkin Whiteside of Davidson Co." Adam was then living in Wilson Co. There is no evidence that he ever lived on this land, or had any children who were born or lived in Giles Co. (15zi)

At the time of the wedding the groom was but twenty years old, leading the court to remark this morning that he had never been free.

         Adoline A Young [Y9c2], daughter of Amaziah Young and Mary Elizabeth Cherry, was born 1 March 1845 at Columbia, TN. She was around ten years old when her parents moved to Williamsport, so it was probably there where she married Samuel Shaw Porter Jr in Maury Co on 20 November 1867. During the Civil War, he was in Company G, 9th Tennessee Cavalry for the Confederacy. Samuel was a druggist soon after their marriage, but by 1880 was a mail carrier, and a farmer in 1900.

Dr Samuel Shaw Porter's father was David Porter. Dr Porter was born in 1793 in SC's Chester District, so his father David Porter would have been born by about 1770. There is a Giles Co deed record (Book F, page 314) dated 5 Aug 1823 where a Nathaniel Young sold a lot at Pulaski, TN to William C Flournoy for $3,000. This transaction was witnessed by a David W Porter. These two David Porters could easily be the same person, he having traveled from Columbia to be a witness for Nathaniel. If Nathaniel Young was born in 1777 he would be the brother of John Archibald Young [Y1], or if he was born in 1795 he would have been John's son. (CC,52, 53,ALd, 10nqmrsucG, 304w)

         The apparent parents of Allen were assumed to be William G Young or his brother Othe Nicholas Young, since these two were the only brothers and sons of Allen's grandmother Martha G Grubb who were of age to have children with a Young name soon after 1900. Allen was raised by his Young grandparents, and lived with his grandmother, widow Martha (Grubb) Young, in 1930. But Allen's death certificate named his parents as "Lemuel Hawk" and "Malah Young." And in the 1900 census of Giles Co TN, in the home of Smith Young (Archibald Smith Young) and wife Martha B (Martha Burr Grubbs), there were many children. The eldest children were daughter Malah M, son Artie N (Othe Nicholas), and son William G Young. These two older boys were single, and Malah was divorced. And shown last was granddaughter Mattie L Hawk, born in July 1898 in TN. In the 1910 census Mattie was granddaughter Mattie Young, age 12. Therefore, the conclusion is that since the elder sons Nick and William always showed to be single in 1900 to 1930 and were the only sons of age to have children with a Young family name born around 1900, then this Mattie Hawk must have been a daughter of Malah Young (born in June 1875 in Giles Co TN). And since Malah said she was divorced in 1900, yet Allen Smith Young was born in 1906 and his mother was Malah Young, then Malah must have carried on with Lemuel Hawk after 1900, resulting in the birth of Allen in 1906. Malah's children were raised with the Young name. Whether Malah and Mr Hawk ever married is not known; probably they didn't since Malah remained with her parents past 1910 and always used the Young name; her daughter Mattie Hawk, from the 1900 census, was Mattie Young in 1910.

         Allen Smith Young married Bertha Lee McAllister in Giles Co TN on 3 November 1928. She was born 21 January 1907 in AL, daughter of Harry Leslie McAllister (1872-1946) and Maude M Abernathy (1876-1954). In 1930 they lived with Allen’s grandmother at Athens, AL, and Allen worked in building construction. He died 30 October 1973 at Athens and was buried in Athens City Cemetery. Bertha died 23 January 1986 and was buried with Allen. SS record for Bertha shows she died in February 1986. They had three children-

a.      Bobby A Young, b May 1929 at Athens, AL. (46f)

b.      dau Young, b 1930s (W)

c.      son Young, b 1930s. He married a Ms Sandlin and had a son. (W)

Bertha McAllister's mother Maude M Abernathy (1876-1954) was a daughter of Thomas Clayton Abernathy (1851-1923) and Virginia Hicks from Giles Co TN. Thomas and Virginia married in Giles Co on 10 Nov 1871. Their daughter Maude was born in Giles Co. (Z,15m, 46fd)


         Allie Young [Y2d3d7], daughter of William Lenton Young and Ida Counts, was born in September 1898 in TX. She married William Joseph Holder on 28 September 1918 and in 1920 they lived at Albany Bryan Co OK next door to her father and brother Marvin. Joe Holder was born at Marshall, Searcy Co AR on 1 November 1897, son of Greenberry Holder Mary Minerva Tyler. Joe died in 1980; Allie died about 1961 at Albany. They had two children-

a.      Wyoma Holder, b Oct 1919 in OK. (552w)

b.      Buster Holder, b 1922 at Albany, Bryan Co OK. (552f)

Joe marriage to Allie was his second one. Allie claimed she married when she was age 19 in the 1930 census (married in 1917 or 1918). In 1920, Joe’s daughter Gladys, born in Nov 1916 in TX, was shown last in their home, as if she was a step-daughter. Her younger sister Wyoma was shown first. Gladys married a Mr Dodd. Allie Young was probably the only mother Gladys ever knew.

Greenberry Holder was born 7 Feb 1878, and died 19 Apr 1936 at Oklahoma City. He was buried in Albany Cemetery in Bryan Co. Mary Minerva Tyler was born in 1876, died in 1926, and was buried in Albany Cemetery. (W,M, 150u,662v, 552wfc)

         Alma Young [Y9j4], daughter of Abiathar R Young and Sara Alice _____, was born in March 1876 at Collierville, TN and lived there at least until 1913. She had not married by 1910, and was named in the 1913 Hardin Co TN will of her aunt Rebecca Young [Y9i], in which Rebecca wrote "to my niece Alma Young who lives in Collierville, Tenn." It would appear from the will that Alma was single in 1913, or had married a Mr Young. She was single, living with her parents in 1910, but was not found in 1920. (9p,14suv)


         Alma Young [Y1a6b4d3], daughter of Robert Lee Young Jr and Lora Rockett, was born in 1912 in Dallas Co TX. (56wf)


         Almanza Young [Y19d4], daughter of Alexander Young and Elizabeth Llewallen, was born in 1837 in Maury Co TN. (10kn)


         Almedia Magdaline Young [y17a5f4], daughter of George Washington Young and Tabitha Priscilla Bruce, was born 22 November 1881 in Franklin Co TN. She married Mark Edward Faris in Franklin Co on 27 December 1908. Mark’s brother Cadmus Crawford Faris helped provide the marriage bond. Mark was born 7 March 1874 in Franklin Co, son of Thomas Cunningham Faris and Martha Jane Crawford. Mark and Almedia lived in Franklin Co the rest of their lives. She died 1 March 1951 and was buried in Green Cemetery east of Belvidere, Franklin Co. Mark died 23 December 1961 and was buried with Almedia. They had four children, all at Winchester, Franklin Co-

Martha Jane Crawford was born 3 May 1846 in Franklin Co, and died there on 12 Dec 1932. She was buried next to Thomas in Green Cemetery. They married in Franklin Co on 20 Dec 1871. (M,227suvwfc)


         Almyra Young [Y1c4], daughter of Buckner K Young and Frances Cox, was born about 1837 in Giles Co. She was not found after 1850, and could have married in the 1850s, or died. (15kn)


         Altha Ball Young [y16k], son of John A Young and Nancy J Jackson, was born 9 January 1893 at Elkton, Giles Co TN. He lived at Harvest, Madison Co AL in June 1917. He was married by then and had a child. Altha Ball Young, son of "John A Young" and "Nancy J Jackson," died at Nashville on 29 May 1953. He was age 60 then (born 1893). Because the name Altha is relatively rare, and with the other data from Altha's death record, then this must be the youngest child of John and Nancy from Giles Co. He was buried in Madison Co AL in Madison Crossroads Cemetery. Buried with him was Lizzie B _____, born 9 September 1897 in AL, died 7 October 1991 in AL. Altha served in the US Army during WW1 in Alabama Company G, 15th Infantry. In 1920 they lived at Madison Crossroads. There were only three Young graves in Madison Crossroads Cemetery; the third one was likely an infant son of Altha and Lizzie. He would have been the first of two sons-

1.      Willie L Young, b 15 Oct 1916, died 28 August 1917. (178c)

2.      James H Young, b 1918 in Madison Co AL. (178w) (M,Z,15u, 178wc,18d)

         Amanda C Young [Y10c1i], daughter of Haley Franklin Young and Charlotte _____, was born 22 June 1843 in Marshall Co TN (age 72 in 1920). She married William James Travis Guilliams on 2 November 1873, probably in Hardin Co where she was living in 1870. James was born 18 April 1853 in either Lincoln Co or in Hardin Co TN, son of David O Guilliams and Malissa _____, and died in Chester Co on 25 November 1938. Amanda also died in Chester Co, on 25 October 1931, probably at her son David’s home where she and James were living in 1930. She was buried with James in Shiloh Cemetery in Henderson Co. In 1880 they lived in Henderson Co where James was a miller. He never used his first name William, yet the 1860 census shows "Wm J T Guilliams" age 7, as a son of David O Guilliams in Hardin Co. They had nine children, seven still living in 1900-

1.      Melissa A C Guilliams, b 15 Jul 1875

         Amanda Margaret Young [y23a1h], daughter of John B Young and Mary Ann Lowe, was born 4 April 1888 in Webster Co MO. She was not with her family in 1910, but was in 1900. She died on 15 February 1972 at Niangua, Webster Co and was buried in Prospect Methodist Cemetery in Webster Co next to her husband. Amanda married George H Cantrell in Webster Co on 30 November 1905. She was under age, so "Consent of John B Young and Mary Ann Young, parents of Amanda M Young" was given in writing. George was born 4 August 1870 in Webster Co, son of William Francis Cantrell (1839 TN) and Nancy Emeline Duggan (1841-1911), and died 5 August 1921 in Webster Co. In 1910 they lived three doors from his parents; High Prairie was their home into the 1940s. They had six children, all at High Prairie. None had married by early 1940-

1.      Ernest Stephen Cantrell, b 7 Sep 1906, died 9 June 2004 at Niangua, Webster Co. He married Camille Rose Powell at San Diego, CA on 5 September 1963. They had no children, but adopted his sister's grandson. (Z,W,484vwx)

2.      Ethel Edna Cantrell, b 10 Apr 1908, died 12 December 1970 at Springfield. (Z,W, 484vwfx)

3.      William Lee Cantrell, b 4 Apr 1910, died 7 June 1994 at Springfield. He was buried in Prospect Methodist Cemetery in Webster Co. (Z,484vwxc)

4.      Woodrow Cantrell, b 1913 (age 6 in 1920, 16 in 1930, 27 in 1940). (484wfx)

5.      Mary Emaline Cantrell, b 31 May 1916, died 5 May 1999 in Webster Co. (W,484wfx)

6.      Thomas Leland Cantrell, b 27 Jul 1918, died 26 June 2011 at Branson, Taney Co MO. (Z,484wfx)

George's father William Francis Cantrell was born in McMinn Co TN in 1839, a son of Thomas Cantrell, and Lucinda A Jones. This Thomas Cantrell was born in 1791 in Spartanburg Co SC, and lived in Marion Co AL in 1850. Also in Marion Co in 1850 was Berry Cantrell, William Cantrell, and Martin Cantrell, all born in SC in the 1790s. They were all probably brothers. So it is likely that Amanda Young had married a distant Cantrell cousin since her great-grandmother Cynthia Cantrell (mother of Terrell W Young) was a sister of Berry Cantrell of Marion Co in 1850. Of these SC Cantrell men, Martin and Thomas Cantrell lived in McMinn Co TN in 1840, where Terrell W Young lived in 1850. (Z,W,484umvwfc)


         Amanda W Young [y23a7], daughter of Terrell W Young and Amanda A Carter, was born 27 August 1864 in Wright Co MO, and died 7 December 1947 at home at Springfield from a stroke. She had married Ben F Edmonds. He was the informant for her death certificate. Amanda was buried in Greenlawn Memorial Gardens Cemetery at Springfield. (810rsd, 795dc)


         Amaziah Young of Cranston Township, Providence Co RI, was born in the late 1750s, probably in England. He married Ann ____ (Knight?), perhaps in England, or else in the Cranston Township area of Providence Co RI. Ann was born about the same time as Amaziah, and also probably in England. They lived at Cranston Town in 1790 and 1800, and perhaps in Kent Co in 1810 but not thereafter. The 1790 census showed two adult males and two adult females in Amaziah’s household, in addition to four sons under the age of 16. So it appears that the parents of Amaziah or Anne were living with Amaziah’s family. They appear to have had about eleven children-

1.      son Young, born pre-1774

2.      dau Young, b pre-1790

3.      son Young, b 1784-1790

4.      son Young, b 1784-1790

         Amaziah Young [Y9c], son of Rufus Knight Young and Rebecca Young [Y1e], was born about March 1823 in the northeast or east side of Giles Co. In the early 1830s he and his sister Harriet were listed as members of the Robertson Fork Church of Christ in the northeast corner of Giles Co (now on the Marshall-Giles Co line on the Lynnville-Cornersville road). Jeremiah Cherry Jr, a businessman from Columbia, a few miles to the north, made business trips to Giles Co and possibly through these visits, Amaziah met Jeremiah's daughter Mary Elizabeth Cherry. Mary and Amaziah were married at Columbia on 11 August 1842 and lived there until they moved to Williamsport. Amaziah ran for the county court clerk's office in 1848 (he lost) and was a teacher in 1850. In 1859 to 1862 he was a justice of the peace in Maury Co, but farming was his real profession until his death. Amaziah and Mary moved from Columbia 12 miles west to Williamsport at the western edge of Maury Co about 1855, where their younger children were born; Williamsport held sad memories for them, having buried three of their children in the Williamsport Cemetery by 1866. Afterwards Amaziah and most of his remaining children moved on to Collierville where his brothers and widowed mother were living. Amaziah and Mary bought 69 acres three miles south of Collierville on 22 December 1871 from John M Fleming, land bordering on the south and west the property of John Jarman Jr, father-in-law of Amaziah's daughter Angeline. In 1870, Amaziah’s brother Henry Clay Young [Y9m] lived next to Amaziah also.

         Mary E Cherry was born at Columbia in 1824, daughter of Jeremiah Cherry Jr and Mary Rebecca Cooper. At Collierville Amaziah and a brother joined the Masonic Order, and from the Masonic records we know that on 19 August 1879 Amaziah died at Collierville. He is probably buried in a Collierville Cemetery. By 1880 Mary had moved north to Bells Station, TN with two of her sons and a daughter, but they soon moved east to Savannah where Amaziah's sister Harriet was living. Mary died at Savannah on 7 November 1896 and is likely buried in the Savannah Cemetery, as are a son and daughter. Amaziah and Mary had eleven children-

1.      Elizabeth R Young, b 29 Jul 1843

2.      Adoline A Young, b 3 Mar 1845

3.      Jeremiah Cherry Young, b 20 Dec 1846

         Amos Young [Y1f6k], son of Jesse Nathaniel Young and Mary Jane Williams, was born 3 August 1892 at Bryson, Giles Co TN. Amos married Annie Zora Graves about 1918 and they lived at Nashville in 1920 with her widowed mother. Amos was then a hostler for the railroad. In 1917 he was a clerk, working at Wheelerton, Giles Co. Zora was born in TN in April 1896, and died at Nashville in 1950. She was a daughter of Mary Agnes Ingram and Mahlon Asher Graves. They had one daughter-

Thomas H Browning was born 11 Aug 1850 in Giles Co, and died 29 Dec 1899 in Giles Co. He was a blacksmith at Prospect in 1880. Tennie Butler was born 12 Sep 1855 in TN, and died 22 Dec 1915. She married Thomas in Giles Co on 6 Jan 1876. They were buried in Maplewood Cemetery at Pulaski.

Transcribed from The Pulaski Citizen, Thursday, 4 Jan 1900:

Horrible Killing

Thomas H. Browning shot by

W. J. Hammonds.

         The usual quiet of our town was rudely disturbed Friday afternoon at about 2 o’clock when 4 or 5 pistol shots range out in quick succession. And when an excited crowd rushed up, they were horrified to find Thomas H. Browning prostrate and gasping for breath, while W. J. Hammonds stood above him, bare headed, with blood stains on his face and with a smoking revolver in his hand. Browning was carried into Reeves drug store and Drs. Abernathy and LaRue were called to him, but his heart had ceased to beat before they reached him, and in a few minutes he was cold in death. Hammonds was taken to jail and has been there since.

         The trouble grew out of a business transaction. About a year ago Browning leased his shop here in Pulaski to Hugh Story and rented a shop at Aspen Hill from Hammonds. While occupying the shop he did some work for Hammonds, and thus it was that Hammonds held Brownings $100 while Browning held an account against Hammonds for $22. The note was left at the People’s Bank for collection, and when presented Browning made out his account and gave a check for the balance, about $78. The bank having no instruction about the account, pinned it to the check and waited until Hammonds came in. He called at the bank Friday and the papers were all turned over to him. He made some remark about owing part of the account but not all of it, and said he would settle with Browning; but there was nothing in his manner or words to indicate that a tragedy was at hand.

         Hammonds went to the shop and called for Browning and was infuriated that Browning had gone to Sumpter’s Drug Store. He followed and met Browning returning with a broken omnibus window and a pane of glass with which to repair it. The 2 men stopped and talked together for a few minutes, just about halfway between Pullen and Harewood’s door and the corner of the court yard. It is probably best not to attempt to give exactly what passed between them, as there are several witnesses, some of whom saw and heard certain things while other saw and heard something else.

         Whatever happened no doubt will be detailed with great minuteness when the case comes to trial. However this may be, Hammonds suddenly drew his pistol, a thirty-eight hammerless, Smith & Weston, and began firing. There is a difference of opinion as to whether 4 or 5 shots were fired. Three shots took effect, and it is probable either one of them would have been fatal. One passed through the flesh of the right arm and entered the body, passing through the chest and was found just beneath the skin on the left side. One entered the breast about 2 inches to the right of the heart and passing directly through the body, was found just beneath the skin in the back. The third entered to the right and just above the right nipple, but did not pass through the body.

         An inquest was held. After viewing the body and examining several witnesses, the following verdict was rendered:

State of Tennessee Giles County

         An inquisition began to beholden at Pulaski in the county and State aforesaid, on the 29th day of December, 1899, and continued to December 30, 1899 before R. I. Culps, a Justice of the Peace of said county, upon the body of T. H. Browning, there lying dead, by the justice whose names are hereto subscribed who upon their oaths do say: That we find T. H. Browning is dead, that he died between the hours of two and three o’clock pm, December 29, 1899 in the store of W. P. Havens, in the town of Pulaski, Giles County, Tennessee, and that he came to his death from wounds inflicted upon his body by shots fired from a pistol held in the hands of and fired by W. J. Hammonds, and that said killing of the said T. H. Browning by said W. J. Hammonds was feloniously done without provocation or justification, and the said killing of T. H. Browning by said W. J. Hammonds was and is murder in the first degree. (Signed by) R. J. Simpson, John H. Atchison, C.C. Vaughan, R. M. Smith, ____ Arrowsmith, R H. Haines, and W.H. Weaver. Sworn to and subscribed before me on the 30th day of December, R. L. Culps.

         W. J. Hammonds waived a preliminary trial and is held awaiting the action of the grand jury. Frank Browning, brother of the deceased, engaged counsel for Mrs. T. H. Browning and a lawsuit was entered for damages. An attachment was served on part of Hammonds’ property and an injunction leased restraining him from disposition of his property until the question shall be decided.

         Thomas H. Browning was a good citizen, a pleasant genial neighbor and businessman, an unusually kind and indulgent father, a consistent member of the Methodist Church and of the Masonic and Old Fellow Lodges. He was also a member of the Junior Order American Mechanics recently organized here. He was buried from the Methodist Church Sunday. After services at the Church by Rev. W. J. Cherry, the body was buried with usual honors by the lodges of which he was a member. (58, Z,N,15umbfc)

         Angeline E Young [Y9c6], daughter of Amaziah Young and Mary Elizabeth Cherry, was born 25 December 1852 at Columbia, TN. When she was just a baby her family moved to Williamsport, and when Angie was a teen they moved on to Collierville near Memphis. Angie married a neighbor, Leonidas Spartan Jarman, on 18 July 1868 in Collierville. Leonidas was born in TN on 23 September 1840 (old, handwritten family records show that he was born in 1830, but census and marriage records indicate that the birth date must have been in 1840). He was one of the sons of John Jarman Jr and Martha A Koonce. Leonidas died in Collierville in 1874, leaving his young widow with a baby daughter. Angie was a seamstress at Collierville, but kept close ties with her brothers and sisters in Savannah and Columbia. Angie became seriously ill with what was years later assumed to be cancer, and relied on her first cousin John Harston East [Y9a1] for much moral support. (He was also the father-in-law of Angie's daughter.) Angie came to Savannah in the summer of 1894 and died at the home of her brother Jeremiah C Young "after an illness of only a few days" on 28 July 1894. Her burial place is not known, but would probably be Savannah since her only child lived there. Angie had but one daughter-

a.      Martha Farley Jarman, b 1 Jan 1872

John Jarman Jr and Martha A Koonce were probably buried in Old Salem Presbyterian Church Cemetery, two miles directly southwest of Collierville (3 miles by road). It is located just north of the intersection of Byhalia & Holmes Roads, on the east side of Byhalia in the woods. Two infants of John and Martha are buried there: one unnamed who died in 1849, and son Robert K Jarman died "June 25, 1852, age 1y 7m 5d." This Cemetery is very much overgrown and neglected in 2010.

Della died on 23 December 1951. In 1900 both she and Ed were in Morgan Co AL, so it was probably there where they married. What happened to Della’s first husband is not known; they had a child before she married Ed. She claimed she had three children by 1900, and six by 1910, but only two and five children lived with them in 1900 and 1910. Also, in the 1910 census, she said that Ed was her second husband. In 1910 she and Ed were at Elkmont, Morgan Co; in 1920 they lived at Albany, Morgan         Co; and in 1930 they were back at Pettusville.

Her daughter "Mrs C M Naylor" was the informant for her death certificate. In 1920 they lived at Deport, Lamar Co and Annie’s widowed mother lived with them. In 1930 they lived in Donley Co. Norman was born 30 May 1885 in MS, son of John W Whitsell and Ella Gann, and died at Clarendon on 15 November 1932. "Ludie Whitsell" was the informant for his death certificate.

         Ara K Delphina T M Young [Y4d6], daughter of John Chumner Young and Ara Katherine Caruthers, was born in October 1848 in Giles Co. She moved with her father to Lamar Co TX in the 1850s. Ara was named as Ara K D T M Young in the 1850 and 1860 census, but in 1870 she was Delphina, Della in 1880, Ella M in 1900, and in 1910 she was Della M. She married Lieutenant James Wiggins Hardison at Paris, Lamar Co on 21 November 1866. He enlisted as a Sergeant in Company K, Texas 9th Infantry Regiment, and was commissioned as an officer in Company C, Texas 29th Cavalry Regiment. He was promoted to full 3rd Lieutenant. In 1870 they lived in Lamar Co next door to James’ widowed father, and remained in Lamar Co into the 1910s. James was born in 1844 in TX, son of Theophilus Hardison and Selina Lewis, and died 17 June 1918 in Lamar Co. He was buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Lamar Co.

         Archibald Young Jr [Y10e], son of Archibald E Young and Sarah Powell, was born 12 June 1790 in Pittsylvania Co VA and moved with his parents to Giles Co by 1812. In November 1823 he was on jury duty, and lived in the northeast corner of the county next to the John Yarbrough family. By 1830 Archibald had married Elizabeth _____ (probably a Golightly, daughter of Shands Golightly of Spartanburg Co SC and later of Giles Co). Archibald soon after was living in Lincoln Co. Elizabeth may not be Archibald's first wife; there is a marriage record of an Archibald Young and Polly Knight in Wilson Co TN 27 April 1816 (the bondsman was William Campbell; see below). The 1830 census of Lincoln Co shows Archibald's wife to have been born in the 1790s, yet in the 1850 Hardin Co census, Elizabeth gave her age as 61 (born 1789), making her a year or two older than the wife in Lincoln Co; Elizabeth was born in NC. On 13 June 1834 Archibald witnessed the will of Amos Davis in Lincoln Co and on 17 November 1835 he sold 109 acres in Giles Co to John Yarbrough, his father's neighbor. This may have been part of the land given him (and his brothers and sisters) in 1832 by his father. In any case, Archibald had died by 1850 and Elizabeth was living with the Louis Golightly family in Hardin Co. It appears that Archibald had eight children-

1.      Mary Young, b 1817

2.      son Young, b 1816-1820

3.      son Young, b 1816-1820

4.      dau Young, b 1816-1820

5.      William Thomas Young, b 1822

6.      dau Young, b 1826-1830

7.      Emarintha Victoria Young, b Mar 1830

8.      Archibald Young, b 1835

Archibald (father/son?) sold 100 acres to Ambrose Yarbrough of Giles Co for $300 on 1 Jan 1813, land bordering George W Campbell and Archibald Young; the witnesses to this sale were B Yarbrough and John Thompson. (JM,FG, 15iz, 16jp, 9n)


         Archibald Young [Y10e8], son of Archibald Young Jr and Elizabeth _____, was born about 1835 in TN, probably Marshall Co or Lincoln Co. In 1850 he lived with his sister Mary in northeast Hardin Co TN. (9n)


         Archibald A Young [Y2i1], son of George W Young and Sarah Salina Blocker, was born in 25 October 1844 in Hickman Co TN. He was a farmer, and married Margarette A I _____ about 1862 (married in 1868 per 1900 census, 1862 per 1910 census) and they were living in Hickman Co in 1870. Margarette was born in TN on 13 February 1846 of parents from NC. In the 1870s they moved to Ohio Twp, Mississippi Co MO, and in 1900 they were at Tywappity Twp, Scott Co MO where Arch was a blacksmith. He died at Commerce, Scott Co on 15 September 1912 of dysentery and was buried there in Oakdale Cemetery. Margarette gave the information for Arch’s death record, and named Arch's parents as "G W Young" and "Salina Blocker." After Arch died, Margarette lived with her son James in Scott Co. She fell at home and broke her hip, and then caught pneumonia and died five days later at Commerce on 22 September 1925. She was buried with Arch. Her son James was the informant for her death certificate; he did not know who Margarette’s parents were. They had two sons-

a.      James A Young, b 1864

b.      William P Young, b Nov 1865 (19nqr,34s, 30udvd)


         Archibald E Young [Y10], son of Captain William Young and Elizabeth Stegale of Pittsylvania Co VA, was born about 1754 in Mecklenburg Co NC. On 9 June 1769 he was married there by John M McKnight, J.P., to Sarah Powell at her father's home near New Hope Meeting House. In July 1849 she stated for her widow's pension that she married Archibald about July 1778; if this was true, she was then his second wife. Sarah was born about 1760 in Mecklenburg Co. Arch and Sarah moved to Pittsylvania Co VA in the early 1770s and lived there until about 1810 when they moved to Giles Co soon before 1812, living near Cornersville. Arch gave his age as 78 in 1832, and served in the Virginia Line in the War of 1812. He drew a pension for two years in Giles Co beginning in November 1819 at $8.00 per month for Revolutionary War service. There are deed records in Giles Co of Archibald Young dated from 12 March 1812 to 27 July 1814, where he bought land from James C and David W McRee. This land bordered the property of Yarbrough, Haynes, and George W Campbell; some of it was originally deeded to David McRee of Mecklenburg Co by "Jno Nelson." Since Arch had a son of legal age during these land transactions, it is possible that the son may be at least one of the buyers. In 1832 as the elder Archibald was nearing the end of his life in Giles Co he gave his land to his children, and thus named them and where each was living. Arch died in Giles Co on 12 November 1834 and Sarah on 28 January 1850, also in Giles Co; both are buried there. Sarah died of consumption, at the age of 102 according to the 1850 mortality schedule; this age must be an error. Archibald had seven children-

a.      Elizabeth Young, b 20 Apr 1771

b.      Pendleton Young, b 1 Mar 1774

c.      Jarrett Young, b 18 Apr 1785

d.      Haley Young, b 18 Feb 1788

e.      Archibald Young Jr, b 12 Jun 1790

f.       Frances Young, b 13 May 1793

g.      Sarah Young, b 6 Mar 1797

Arch's brother Willie Young moved to Anderson Co TN, and in a pension affidavit for Sarah of 30 April 1849, said he was born about 1772 and Arch about 1757. Joseph Powell of Pittsylvania Co VA was Sarah Powell's brother. (FG,M,GW, JM,NY, M, 15ijzvkny)


         Archibald Oliver Young [Y1j13], son of Archibald Smith Young and Nancy Mendoza S Oliver, was born 21 August 1862 in Giles Co and lived there for the remainder of his short life.

         Archibald Smith Young [Y1j], son of John Archibald Young and Nancy Smith, was born in 1816 at Beech Hill in Giles Co. He lived close to Beech Hill through 1850, but by 1860 had moved closer to the Pulaski area. On 29 June 1836 he married Louisa Catherine Abernathy at Pulaski. She was born in the east side of Giles Co on 12 January 1816, daughter of John Abernathy (he a son of William Abernathy, a Revolutionary War patriot) and Catherine Tarpley. John Abernathy's farm was the third farm south of Archibald's father's farm. With the birth of her eleventh child, Louisa died on 15 February 1858 in Giles Co. "Mrs L Young / Consort Of / A S Young" was buried in Beech Hill Cemetery. Within a few months Arch took a second wife, on 20 June 1858; she was Nancy Mendoza S Oliver, widow of Felix G McKnight. Mendoza was born in Giles Co on 9 January 1826, daughter of Major Ananias Oliver and Nancy Featherstone Harwell, and died 18 February 1892 in Giles Co. Arch was wealthy, and with wealth there are usually enemies. He was murdered by Colmore B Sutton, his neighbor to the north and east of Arch's farm, on 14 March 1862 at Bradshaw over an argument about a fence or a fence line. The 1869 Giles Co court records state that the charge was First Degree murder, but the authorities discontinued their pursuit of Colmore Sutton and John McCanless since "the defendants have gone to parts unknown and have not been heard from in several years." What part in the murder John McCanless had is not known, but the motive may have had something to do with family ties: John McCanless was the husband of Arch's sister Dianna Young [Y1g]; possibly the reason that John was an accomplice in the murder of Arch was because of a sour marriage between John and Dianna, in which Arch may have sided with Dianna. See the biography of Nancy Young [Y3b].

         Arch was a farmer and owned much land; upon his death, his estate came to about 1,100 acres. In 1860 he owned $33,000 worth of real estate. Years prior, his father had given other land to Arch's older brothers, but at that time Arch was still too young to receive a gift of land from his father. When Arch's father died, Arch then received his inheritance through his father's estate. Of all the sons of John Young, Arch was the only one to keep his land; the other brothers lost their property through bad investments, or through early death.

         The administrator of Arch's estate was Henry Houze, who was the husband of Arch's first cousin, Sarah A "Sissie" Smith, through Arch's mother's side of the family. Some of Arch's younger children moved in with their eldest sister Ann Eliza Young and her husband William David Smith, in Lincoln Co (there is no known relation between William David Smith and the other Smiths named here). Arch's burial place has not been found, but would likely be Beech Hill Cemetery; Louisa was buried there. Arch's widow Mendoza later married Marin Marks. Arch's thirteen children were-

Colmore B Sutton's wife was Sarah Catherine Harwell, daughter of Robert McNairy Harwell and Parthenia P Smith. After Colmore deserted his wife and daughter Jeffie Sutton following the murder of Arch, Sarah married a widower named Zachariah Smith in 1879. Zack was the son of Robert Smith, Arch's first cousin and the father of Henry Houze's wife Sissie Smith.

Felix G McKnight was born 20 Sep 1819, and died 2 Feb 1852; he was buried in the Oliver family Cemetery in Giles Co. (58,L,MA,VS, GW,NY, GE,16r, 15knqprswyzc, 17c)

         Buckner C Young [Y9e], son of Rufus Knight Young and Rebecca Young [Y1e], was born 20 February 1826 in Giles Co TN. He probably died in the 1830s. Buckner was named after his mother’s brother. (PY, 15jk)


         Buckner K Young [Y1c], son of John Archibald Young and Nancy Smith, was born in 1799 in Spartanburg Co SC. He was named after his mother's father, and was about 9 years old when his family moved to the Beech Hill area of the new Giles Co in the early months of 1809, and in this part of the county is where Buckner spent most of the remainder of his life. About 1827 he married Frances Cox, probably in Giles Co since the neighboring counties have no marriage record for this couple. Frances was born about 1792 in Chatham Co NC, daughter of Presley Cox (a Revolutionary War veteran) and Sarah Brinkley. After Buckner and Frances married they moved to the northeast part of Giles Co living among the Cox families near Cornersville. In 1830 they had one young son, yet in 1840 the census shows three teenage boys living with Buckner who were too old to be his own; they had taken in the orphaned son of his brother John Young Jr [Y1b] and two other unidentified boys. Apparently the unknown boys were working in a manufacturing trade while the rest of the family were farmers. In February 1827 Buckner was appointed to the position of constable after Hardy Willeford (son of Britton) resigned, but soon began farming. There is no record of Buckner Young ever owning Giles Co land.

         He had two major financial setbacks (i.e., bankruptcies): First, in January 1833 Buckner had to put his slaves up as security for unpaid debts, one being $800 owed to his father. Within two months of this, he and Frances sold her expected inheritance from her late father's estate. This still did not cover his debts, for in April Buckner appointed his brother Spencer to be the trustee for the payments of the remaining debts. Most of them were owed to his father, who was often a cosigner for Buckner's notes. And fifteen years later, in 1848, Buckner appointed his nephew Amaziah Young [Y9c], who lived in Maury Co to be the trustee for the payment of his debts in a reorganization of business matters. In both cases Buckner had no living sons of legal age to handle these matters, hence he asked his brother and nephew to be the trustees. Buckner's wife Frances died in the 1850s, and is probably buried in a Cox Cemetery since she is not in Beech Hill Cemetery. Soon before 22 April 1865, Buckner died broke, leaving useless Confederate money and little else to his heirs. Buckner's brother-in-law Wylie Willis Willeford [Y6b] was the administrator. There were seven children-

1.      John C Young, b 1 Nov 1828

2.      dau Young, b 1831-1835

         Carl Franklin Young [Y19j6e7], son of Orville Lee Young and Mary Annis Rohland, was born 15 September 1923 at Northview, Webster Co MO, and died at Springfield on 21 January 2002.

Her father had died soon before 1812 and her mother and brothers lived in Franklin Co for years after, so it would be likely that Mary moved to Franklin Co in the 1810s before she married. (K,566h)

         Claiborne F Young [y24], born 13 January 1799 in TN, married Prudence Findley by 1825, but probably a few years sooner. They lived in Morgan Co MO in 1840 and into the 1860s. From the 1850 census of Morgan Co, Claiborne's children were all born in TN. We can be sure that this census taker was not accurate, because the death record of son Thomas in Webster Co MO clearly showed that his parents were "Claiborn Young" and "Prudy Findley," and numerous MO census records from 1860 to 1910 showed that Thomas' name was "Thomas B Young," born in 1838 in MO. Claibourne was granted 40 acres in Morgan Co MO in 1840 by President Martin Van Buren. This land was 5th Prime Meridian, Township 45-N, Range 19-W, Section 13.

         The eight children born by 1850 and shown here are the names exactly as the 1850 census had them. Prudence and Claiborne were still in Morgan Co in 1860, but most children had left home by then. Prudence was born in TN in 1800. It would appear that Claibourn and Prudence came from TN to Morgan Co MO by about 1838, settled on their future land claim, and remained there. They were not found after 1860-

Sarah was born 18 May 1867 in Warren Co, and died 15 November 1942 in Franklin Co. In 1920 Daniel claimed he was a widower and lived with his daughter Dora in Valley Co MT. They had four children, all in Franklin Co-

1.      Dora Young, b 14 Sep 1886

3.      Peter Turney Young, b 27 Apr 1892

4.      Thomas Young, b 3 Sep 1896 (227qrc, 735w)


         Daniel Arch Young [Y1j4b], son of Napoleon Bonapart Young and Martha Jane Kosier [Y6c3b], was born on 14 November 1870 in Lincoln Co TN. He married Minnie Pearl Smith in Giles Co on 20 February 1895. She was born in TN 27 April 1878, daughter of William M Smith and Nancy Angeline Smith. (See the Mary Lou Young [Y1j3b] biography.) Daniel and Pearl lived at Cornersville, Marshall Co in 1910, and at Beech Hill in 1914 just four doors from his brother Early. They were still at Beech Hill in 1920. Dan was a Woodsman of the World. He died 6 April 1920 and was buried in Beech Hill Cemetery. Pearl later married W Pink Ingram in Giles Co on 26 December 1925 and lived with him at Pulaski. She died on 8 August 1967 and was also buried in Beech Hill Cemetery (with Pearl Smith Young on her gravestone.) They had four children-

1.      Lula Bruce Young, b Nov 1895

2.      English Grady Young, b 11 Oct 1897

3.      Evelyn Grace Young, b 28 Sep 1906

4.      Rachel Young, b 1916

William M Smith's father was Robert Smith. Robert, born in 1793, was a younger brother of Nancy Smith. Nancy was the wife of John Archibald Young [Y1] and the great grandmother of Daniel. Therefore, Dan's wife Pearl was his father's second cousin via the Smith name. It is not likely that Nancy Angeline Smith was related to the same Smith family since her father was born in GA; William's grandfather Buckner Smith had no known GA ties.

         Dianna Young [Y1g], daughter of John Archibald Young and Nancy Smith, was born about 1809 in Spartanburg Co SC. She was named after her maternal grandmother, and was just a baby when her parents moved to Beech Hill in Giles Co TN, so Beech Hill and Giles Co is the only home she knew. It appears that in the 1840s, after the death of her father, Dianna lived with her step-mother Nancy _____, who lived next door to Dianna's brother Archibald Smith Young [Y1j] at Beech Hill. She married John G McCanless relatively late in life, about 1844 or early 1845. He was born in TN about 1817, possibly a son of William McCanless or Jane _____ and _____ McCanless (the only McCanless names in the 1830 Giles Co census who could be John's parent). In 1850 John and Dianna were living in District 10 in Giles Co where he was a farmer. In 1860 Dianna and her children were still there, but John was not. Since John was not living with Dianna and their children in 1860, and since John was charged as one of the murderers of Dianna's brother Arch, it is possible that Dianna and John had split up in the 1850s and Arch had made an enemy of John by taking sides with his sister in family disputes. (See the Archibald Smith Young biography.) In 1870 Dianna was living near the town of Diana in Giles Co. She was not found in the county after 1870. Her children were-

1.      Diana E McCanless, b 1845

2.      John T McCanless, b 1848

3.      Lunsford L McCanless, b Oct 1849

4.      Leonidas McCanless, b 1850

5.      William A McCanless, b 1852

Because the younger children lived with him and not with Mattie, and the youngest child was born in 1925, this then indicates that Mattie died within the prior five year. She was born in AL in April 1877. They had at least thirteen children, all born in Limestone Co AL-

In 1832 her father gave her land in Giles Co while she was living in Russell Co VA. In 1840 in Russell Co there was a John Justice, age in the 60s (born 1770s). He wife was of the same age. In their home there was also a teenage girl. They were not there in 1850. (JM, FG,574k)


         Elizabeth Young [Y5b], daughter of Thomas Young and Mary _____, was born about 1778 in SC. Her father, and presumably Elizabeth and her husband Robert Beard, moved to Lincoln Co TN about 1809 or 1810. See the Beard-Young summary at the start of the Beard names. Since Elizabeth's sister Mary Young and Robert’s brother Francis Beard lived in Lincoln Co in 1820 and 1830, it is likely that Elizabeth and Robert also lived there.

         In 1820 in Giles Co there were five Beard families in Lincoln Co; two were Robert Beard families. One of these two Robert Beard families lived four doors from Robert’s brother Francis A Beard, and six doors from Mary Beard, mother of Robert’s wife. Both Roberts were born before 1775. In their home in 1820 were three sons and six females other than Robert’s wife; of these females, five were adults. The 1830 census showed that Robert’s wife was a few years younger than Robert; she was born between 1776 and 1794. This Robert was the one who married Elizabeth Young, lived in Lincoln Co TN in 1820 and 1830, bought land in southern Giles Co in 1836, and died in District 2 of Giles Co in March 1850. His close neighbors in 1820 in Lincoln Co were Ramsey, Jennings, Huckaby, Cox, and Carothers families. In 1830 this Robert Beard and his family were on census page 151A. Close to this Robert was George B Beard, born 1776-1794, with no wife. He had a son and three daughters. Robert Beard, husband of Elizabeth Young, was born in 1782 in SC, son of James Beard and Margaret Irwin.

         In 1830 in Giles Co there was just one Beard family: J T Beard, age in the 20s with one son and daughter under age 5. J T Beard’s close neighbors were Jennings, Wright, Alsup, Griggs, and Parr families. J T’s neighbors indicate that he lived close to the eastern edge of Giles Co, next to the Lincoln Co border, These same neighbors lived close to the Robert Beard who later moved to, and died in Giles Co.

         In Lincoln Co in 1830 there was a Robert Beard and his wife, both ages 50s, born 1770s. His wife was the same age. In their home, in addition to them, were only young adults. Seven were females and four were males: A son born 1811-1815, three sons born 1801-1810, one daughter born 1811-1815, five daughters born 1801-1810, and one daughter born 1790s were found on census page 257. Some of these adult children could be children-in-law. Robert’s close neighbors in 1830 who were of about the same age as this Robert Beard family were David Byers (age 50s), Solomon Buford (age 60s), William Anderson (age 50s), and Joshua Ewing (age 50s). None were the neighbors from the 1820 census. This Robert Beard married in SC in the mid-1790s, and died in Lincoln Co years after his wife died.

         In 1840 Giles Co had no Beard families, but since land records show that a Robert Beard bought land in Giles Co in 1836 in District 3. He was perhaps overlooked by the 1840 census taker. Robert died in Giles Co in March 1850 in District 2, age 78 (born 1771 or 1772). After he died in southern Giles Co, Elizabeth moved in with her sister Marjory in District 3 of Giles Co. (See the Giles Co District Map.) Elizabeth had seven or eight children-

         District 2 in Giles Co is in the south central part of Giles Co, next to AL; District 3 was just to the west of District 2. The only other district in 1836 where a Beard was a land owner was William Beard in District 10 (Bradshaw), where John Young [Y1] lived. And the only Young names on the 1836 county tax list were mostly in District 10, with a few in District 9 and 11, and one in District 7. The widow Mary Beard who lived in Giles Co TN’s District 11 in 1850 was born in 1805 in SC. Her children living with her then were all born in TN: William Beard, born 1829; Nancy E Beard, born 1831; Thomas A Beard, born 1834; Francis J Beard, born 1835; Mary A Beard, born in 1837.

         There was a slightly older Robert Beard family in Lincoln Co in 1820; he was born in 1780, had a wife with the same birth date, and by 1820 they had a son and daughter under age 10, two sons and a daughter born 1805-1810, and there were four young adult females in his home. His close neighbors were Mary Young. She had three sons born no earlier than 1795, plus four daughters (or daughters-in-law?) no earlier than 1795, thus indicating that widow Mary Young was born in the early 1770s. Other close neighbors were Davis, Winters, Smith, Trimble, Carothers, Cox, Huckaby, and Jennings families. This was on census page 112A.

         Lincoln Co in 1840 had eleven Beard families; a Robert Beard was one. He was in Civil District 22 (page 87), age 60s (born 1770s), wife age 60s, with an adult male and female (child and child-in-law?) age 20s, and three daughters under age 9 (Robert’s granddaughters?). This Robert was likely a first cousin of the Robert who married Elizabeth Young. The elder Robert was born in SC in 1780. The Robert who remained in Lincoln Co in 1840 had neighbors Jacob Beard (born 1810s) with a wife born 1810s, a son born early 1830s; other neighbors were Leatherman, Gibbs, Anderson, Carpenter, Cobb, and Eddington families.

         Elizabeth Young [Y2a], daughter of Nathaniel Young and Jemima Young [Y5a], was born in the 1790s in Spartanburg Co SC. She must have been in her late teens when her parents moved to TN from Spartanburg Co. She married Andrew Brown in Maury Co TN 15 August 1817. Elizabeth was given an advance on her father's inheritance in July 1841 (a slave named Lou Ann); they must have lived outside the south-central TN area at the time. Nothing more is known of Elizabeth, and nothing is known of her husband. (10mz)

         Elizabeth Young [Y1h], daughter of John Archibald Young and Nancy Smith, was born about 1811 at Beech Hill in Giles Co TN. She married John W Fuller about 1825, and lived for nine to twelve more years, having died by December 1837 when her father's will was written. Elizabeth was probably buried in the Beech Hill Cemetery although her grave has not been located. The will of Elizabeth's father named her four children then living, yet census records of 1840 show three more than the four named in the will; the extra three children, the youngest of seven at the time, belonged to John W's second wife, Rebecca Brown, born in 1815 in NC. John W was born in 1802 in NC, and was probably a brother of the James M Fuller (born 1807 in NC) who married Elizabeth's sister Nancy Young [Y1k]. In 1820 the only Fuller families in the area were in Lincoln Co. John was a farmer and lived in district 9 of Giles Co in 1850. He died 29 July 1876. He and Rebecca had about thirteen children With Elizabeth he had five-

         Elizabeth Young [Y15a], daughter of James Young and Margaret _____, was born in 1835 in TN, probably in Giles Co. In 1850 she lived in Lincoln Co, but was back in Giles Co in 1860 living near Elkton. She either married in the early 1860s, or died in the 1860s. (15k, 16n)


         Elizabeth Young [Y3a12], daughter of William C Young and Elizabeth Kennedy, was born in August 1854 at Bradshaw in Giles Co TN, and lived there for many years. She was born in December 1858 per son Ed’s information on her death certificate. She married Green J Clark on 12 April 1872 in Giles Co and later married William W Rea on 28 May 1877 in Giles Co. William was born in Limestone Co AL in 1851 of TN parents. In 1880 Elizabeth, her husband William, their children, their niece Sarah A Finley [Y3a3a] (daughter of Lizzie’s late sister Sarah), and Elizabeth's mother were living at Bradshaw where William was a farmer. He must have died about 1887 in Kaufman Co or Van Zandt Co TX. On 12 March 1888 at Cedar Grove, Kaufman Co TX Elizabeth married Charles William Edgerton. He was born 31 January 1852 at Louisville, KY of KY born parents. The 1900 Chickasaw Nation Co, Oklahoma Territory census shows Charles and Lizzie with her three Rea children and the four with Charles. He was a mail carrier. They apparently moved to Van Zandt Co TX by 1889 because all the children of Charles and Lizzie were born there. Charles died on 12 November 1904 at Alsa, Van Zandt Co. In the 1910 Van Zandt Co census Lizzie was living with son Edward Rea, head of the household (census page 13B, District 110, family #252).

When he registered for the draft, in 1918, Joshua named "Bessie Young Powers" as his nearest relative. In 1930 Bessie lived with her widowed mother Josephine at Pulaski, TN and Bessie’s 10 year old son Joshua lived with them. Perhaps Bessie was there for a visit since Joshua was still in KY.

The census record showed that she was already married, but she used the Young name and there was no husband in her home. There was a Dunklin Co marriage between "Lizzie Young" and Robert Fugate on 15 July 1888. Because of a courthouse fire, there are very few marriage records between 1872 and 1881. (9nq,260sm)

         The 1850 census of Hardin Co TN shows Louis Golightly and wife Betsy B and their children. Louis was born in SC in 1805; Betsy was born in TN in 1824, so she may be a second wife. Besides the children, Elizabeth Young, born in NC in 1789, lived with them, and also Andrew Booth, born in TN in 1826. The four children in their home in 1850 were all born in TN: Thomas Golightly, born 1837; Louis H Golightly, born 1839; Nancy J Golightly, born 1845; and Henry S Golightly, born 1836.

         Ephraim Andrews Young [Y8], son of John Young and Elizabeth Andrews (daughter of Ephraim Andrews) of Mecklenburg Co VA and of Williamson Co TN, was born in the mid-1790s in VA, perhaps about 1796. He served in the War of 1812, which mostly took place in 1813 and 1814, so he would have been at least age 16 then (born 1797-1798). And his age was likely 21 when he married about 1817 (born in 1796). Ephraim lived along the southern edge of Giles Co next to the AL border in the 1820s. He claimed he was age 50 in 1850. In November 1823 he was appointed to be a county constable, and took office in February 1824, and again in February 1826. In November 1826 he was appointed to be the administrator of the estate of the late William Tally. Ephraim married in Williamson Co to Polly Bugg on 14 May 1817. He was found in Giles Co in 1830, married to a woman born in the 1800s, and with children. She was Polly, born in the late 1790s in VA.

         Ephraim was not found in TN after 1830, nor anywhere in 1840. He had moved to MS by 1841 and married Rachel Angeline Jane "Jincy" Bolton in Hinds Co MS.

g.      Alexander Volney Howard Young, b 16 Jul 1853

Ephraim Andrews Young probably had a sister Elizabeth Young. She married James Collegson in Grainger Co on 17 Jul 1800.

In Jackson Co AL in 1840 (census page 19A) there was an Ephraim A Young family. That Ephraim was born in the 1800s, as was his wife, and they had two daughters born 1831-1835. But also in 1840 in AL, in Perry Co, there was an E A Young. He was born in the 1800s, and his wife was born in the 1810s; this family had three sons and two daughters. This Ephraim Young was still there in 1850 and 1860, and he was born in GA. Hence, he was not related to the Ephraim of southern Giles Co. Also, Ephraim A Young of southern Giles Co was a brother of Rebecca Young who married Major John William Kyle and moved to southern Giles Co in 1807.

He married Mary Wagster in Lincoln Co on 26 April 1904 and in 1910 lived with his brother-in-law William Sorrels in Marshall Co. Felix was single then, so Mary Wagner must have died. Felix was not found after then. (16um, 17v)


         Finis Bruce Young [y17a5f7], son of George Washington Young and Tabitha Priscilla Bruce, was born 13 August 1889 at Winchester, Franklin Co TN.

         Frances Young [Y10f], daughter of Archibald E Young and Sarah Powell, was born 13 May 1793 in Pittsylvania Co VA. She was becoming a young woman when her family moved to Giles Co about 1810, and it may be in Giles Co where she married Ballard Smith by 1820. They are not found in Giles Co in the 1820 census, but the 1830 census has a "B Smith" family. This must be Ballard, but the age of the wife does not match that of Frances. In any case, Frances lived in the Giles Co area in 1832 when her father gave her and her brothers and sisters their inheritance. (JM, FG,15z)


         Frances Young [Y1f2a6], daughter of Edward Field Young and Charlotte McLaurine, was born about 1901 in Giles Co TN.

         Frances Alice Young [Y10c1k3], daughter of Wily M Young and Rebecca E Golightly [Y10e7d], was born in Ellis Co TX on 30 July 1881 (born 30 July 1883 per death record, July 1880 per 1900 census, age 28 in 1910, 38 in 1920, 47 in 1930). She married T C Wilcox on 10 November 1898 in Ellis Co. He was born in IL in July 1873; his parents were from England. In 1900 Fannie and T C lived in Ellis Co. Their marriage record spelled his name as Wilcocks, but the 1900 census spelled it with the Wilcox spelling; their son used the Wilcox spelling also.

In 1930 he lived alone in Silsbee Twp, Imperial Co CA. He was born in AR in 1880. What happened to Mr Wilcox is not known. Fannie’s third husband was Solomon Forrest Blakesley, born in VA on 20 April 1882, son of Hysop C Blakesley and Mary DeVoss (both from IN). They lived at Wilson, Maricopa Co AZ in 1930. Fannie died in Maricopa Co on 3 February 1949. Solomon died there on 23 February 1959.

Samuel Edward Nunnelee was born in Sep 1853 at Centerville, Hickman Co TN, son of Edward Washington Nunnelee (a hotel keeper, born 1821 TN) and Margaret Priestley (born 1834 TN), and died in 1904 in Travis Co TX. Mary E Morris was born 23 Oct 1859 in Travis Co TX, daughter of Algernon R Morris (1831 NC) and Armida C Burdett (1842 TX), and died at Austin on 12 Mar 1936. George Nunnelee was the informant for her death certificate. In 1880 Samuel E Nunnelee was a hired had on Mary’s parents’ farm in Travis Co; he and Mary were single on June 1 (or hid their marriage from the census taker and her parents?), but they apparently married soon after the census was taken on June 1.

There were five Nunnelee graves (out of over7,900) in Oakwood Cemetery Annex. Four were Fanny, Harry, and two of their children. The fifth Nunnelee grave was Harry W Nunnelee’s brother George Nunnelee, George was born 10 Jun 1884 in Travis Co, and died 31 Jan 1960 at Austin. (DW,M, 19nqr, 80rsuvfdc)


         Frances C Young [Y10c1m], daughter of Haley Franklin Young and Charlotte _____, was born in November 1853 in either Marshall Co or Hardin Co TN. She grew up in Hardin Co. In 1870 Frances lived with her sister Emarintha in Hardin Co. Frances married Benjamin Frank McBride there on 17 December 1876. In 1880 they lived in Gibson Co and in 1900 they lived in Decatur Co. On a gravestone in Kelley Cemetery in Decatur is the inscription for a Benjamin F McBride, with a death date of 1906, and four graves away is another Ben McBride grave, but with no dates. That one had the inscription "Pvt Co A 6 Regt Tenn Cav Confederate States Army." But since Fannie’s husband was born in 1855 (age 5 in 1860, 25 in 1880; 46 in 1900), then this Confederate gravestone must have been for an uncle or older cousin. Ben had no brothers in his home in 1860, just four sisters. He was a son of Morris McBride (born 1808 NC) and Clarissa J _____ (born 1836 in TN).

         Ben F was age 25 in 1880; 46 in 1900. Ben died in Decatur Co on 9 March 1906 and was buried in Kelley Cemetery in Decatur Co. In 1910 widow Frances was still in Decatur Co with her children Byrd, Jess, and Bess living with her. She lived with Byrd in Decatur Co until she died in 1931. Fannie was buried in Kelley Cemetery next to Ben. They had nine children by 1900 with just six still alive (Haley, Arlene, and Mollie had died)-

Ben and his family lived in northern Hardin Co and southern Decatur Co over the years. Some of the children were born at Saltillo, Hardin Co, and a few years later they lived at Bath Springs, Decatur Co. These two towns are about 10 miles apart.

Early Hardin Co marriage records were lost in a courthouse fire, but using census records, some of Morris McBride’s family can be put together: Morris was born in NC in 1808. He lived in Hardin Co from at least 1840 until he died in the 1880s. He had two wives, Arminsa, born in 1813 in NC, and Clarisa J (Theresa J in 1870), born 1834 in TN. His children appear to be:

Wayne Co 1830, no children yet; apparently he just married, probably in NC, and moved to Wayne Co TN soon after. Morris was born 1801-1810; wife was born 1811-1815.

Hardin Co 1840, Morris was born 1801-1810, wife was born 1811-1820. Children were:

son, b 1831-1835 (James)

dau, b 1831-1835 (Lucinda)

son, b 1831-1835 (Wm H)

dau, b 1836-1840 (Charlotte)

Hardin Co 1850, Morris born 1807 NC, wife Arminsa born 1813 NC. Their children in 1850 were all born in TN: James McBride, born 1830;

Lucinda McBride, born 1832; Wm H McBride, born 1834; Charlotte McBride, born 1836; Alamersa McBride, born 1845; Rosina McBride, born 1848; E J McBride (dau), born1850.

Hardin Co 1860, lived northern Hardin Co close to Clifton in Wayne Co. Morris was born 1808 NC, wife Clarissa J, born 1836 TN. Clarissa was the second wife, married about 1852. Children in 1860 were all born in TN: Rozina M McBride, born 1848; Elizabeth J, born 1850; Ruth E, born 1853; Benj F, born 1855; and Louisa H, born 1857.

The eldest five children, adults in 1860, had their own homes then. Son James lived close by and had married Amanda P; William H married Sarah and lived in Hardin Co’s District 13; Lucinda and Charlotte would have been of age to be married by 1860; Alamersa would have been age 15 in 1860, and since she wasn’t with her family, had probably died in the 1850s. Charlotte may be the wife of William Ledbetter living in District 11. (FG, 9mknq, 277s, 210uvwfc)

Adeline's family was on the 1840 census of Obion Co TN (northwest corner of TN). Her father Thomas Sorrell was listed as the administrator of the estate of James Russell in Obion Co in Jul 1839. This was Thomas' brother-in-law, Elizabeth Russell's brother. Thomas paid a poll tax there in 1841. He and Elizabeth were granted a letter of dismissal from the Baptist Church of Christ at Republican Meeting House in Obion Co, in order for their move eastward to Lincoln Co and acceptance in a Lincoln Co church. There were land deed records for Thomas in Lincoln Co in 1861, and a voter registration in Lincoln Co for him in 1865. Thomas' wife Elizabeth Russell died in 1868 and "Gabriel Young" paid $12 for her coffin. Thomas was born in NC in 1793 and died in early 1870 in Lincoln Co TN. On 5 Oct 1870 his heirs sold 154.75 inherited acres to Henry Nichols, but reserved 0.25 acres for the family graveyard. This graveyard was about 3.5 miles northeast of Petersburg, just inside Marshall Co. Thomas' son James Edward Sorrels handled Thomas' estate. (Petersburg is at the north edge of Lawrence Co, at the border with Marshall Co and very close to southern Moore Co). This Sorrell research was done by Alma Viola Beavers. (23k, 15k,17n,16mrpzsu)

         George Wesley Young [Y2i], son of Nathaniel Young and Jemima Young [Y5a], was born 1 August 1823 in western Maury Co TN, along the Duck River. His family was not found in Maury Co in 1830, nor any where else in TN, but was probably in Maury Co; census takers were known to miss whole families who lived at the far end of a county. On 2 March 1843 George married Sarah Salina Blocker in Maury Co (at Williamsport?), and they moved down river to Hickman Co, northwest of Maury. Sarah was born in TN about 1826, daughter of Elijah Blocker and Susan Priscilla Winn, and died 1 August 1894. In 1850 and 1860 George’s widowed mother lived with him and Sarah. He was a farmer in District 2 of Hickman Co in 1860, but was in District 15 in 1870; he lived close to his brother Nathaniel for years. In 1850 George’s wife was "Sarah S" age 24, born in TN; in 1860 in Hickman Co, his wife "Salina S" was age 29, born in TN; and in 1870 wife "Seliney" was age 41, born in TN. In 1880 George and "Sarah" (age 50) were back in Maury Co, and the only child still at home was daughter Martha.

One night, while sleepwalking, he climbed out a window and landed in the middle of his sleepy hunting dogs. The hounds did not recognize Gilbert in his night clothes, and he barely made it back into the house before he was chewed up. This cured him of his sleepwalking, although it woke the neighborhood.

In 1910 he and Mary lived at Decatur, AL where he was a drug store salesman. Mary was born in Maury Co in April 1887, daughter of James Marion Wilkins (1842-1919) and Margarette Ann “Nettie” Fitzgerald (1853 TN, married in Maury Co on 3 Dec 1876). Cleve was a medical student at Vanderbilt University at Nashville when he died on 28 February 1915. He was buried in the Wheeler family Cemetery about two miles south west of Brick Church.

1.      James Archie Young, b 28 Apr 1910

James M Wilkins (1842-1919) and Margarette Nettie Fitzgerald (1854-1909) married in Maury Co on 3 Dec 1876. He and Nettie were buried in Williamsport Cemetery. (GY, VS,10mc, 15cu,174v)


         Grover U Young [Y2d4a3], son of Samuel Marion Young and Marget A Gribble, was born 19 January 1887 at Fayetteville, Washington Co AR. In 1900 he lived in Collin Co TX. In 1910 he was living in McCulloch Co with his wife Mary Elizabeth "Lizzie" Parrish, age 20. Living close by was Lizzie's brother John W Parrish and his wife Eva. This John was age 23, born in Wilson Co TX in 1887. Grover's wife Lizzie was born in 1889 in TX of a father from AR (per 1920 census). John W Parrish's parents in 1900 Wilson Co were Allen W Parrish (1860 AR) and Mary J _____ (1869 TX). Lizzie was not shown in their home in 1900 when she was age 10; but in that home were daughters Mary E, born in August 1889 and Lillie M, born in May 1899, and three sons. The 1961 death certificate for Mrs Lillie Maude (Parrish) Jones showed that Lillie Maude's parents were Allen W Parrish and Mary Jane Howe, and that Lillie Maude was born 24 May 1899 in TX. The 1900 census showed that Lillie's parents had five children by 1900, and all were alive, living at home: they were John W, born in May 1887; Mary E, Aug 1889; George O, Jan 1891; James A, Dec 1892; and Lillie M, May 1889. The parents living with 40 year old widow Lizzie N Young in 1930 in McCulloch Co were Allen Parrish, born 1861 in AR and wife Mollie, born 1867 in TX. Therefore, the only sensible conclusion is that daughter Mary E from the 1900 census was actually Mary Elizabeth Parrish who used the nickname Lizzie. She had four Young children with her in 1930; the eldest was daughter Goldie, age 20.

         In June 1917 Grover lived at Lovington, Lea Co NM. He and Lizzie married about December 1908 (were married for 1 4/12 years in April 1910). Grover died 15 July 1924 at Pear Valley, McCulloch Co and was buried at Lohn, McCulloch Co. "Mary Elizabeth Young" died at Brady, McCulloch Co on 18 December 1876. Her parents named on her death certificate were "Allen Walker Parrish" and "Mary Jane Howe." Mary Elizabeth was born 12 August 189 at "Stockdale, TX" (Wilson Co). Lizzie remained in McCulloch Co after Grover died. They had four children-

         Guy Urban Young [Y1j3d], son of Nathaniel Abernathy Young and Medora Jane Harwell, was born 18 August 1877 at Bradshaw, Giles Co TN. While single he lived at the old farmhouse built by his great grandfather John Archibald Young [Y1]. Guy had a variety of professions: he leased out farmland to sharecroppers, was a livestock dealer, a Pulaski policeman, and was a merchant in a variety of businesses (bridles and harnesses, funeral director, furniture sales, buggy dealer, etc.). In 1932 he ran for the office of sheriff, but came in second place. In 1910 he lived on the Nathaniel Young farm with his parents and sister Cordie until he married Mabel Pearl Kirby on 17 October at Cowan, Franklin Co TN. She was born 17 July 1889 in Marshall Co AL, daughter of Joshua Kirby and Maggie Wade Seargant. Mabel became a nurse after her daughter finished school. After Mabel and Guy were married they bought their home on East Jefferson St at Pulaski in 1911. Guy died at Pulaski on 12 November 1968 and was buried there in Maplewood Cemetery next to his parents. Mabel, now a widow, would open the kitchen curtains in the morning to let her neighbor know she was Ok. On the morning of 21 May 1969 the curtains were closed, so the neighbor called Mabel's daughter in Columbia, and with the police Mabel's house was entered. Mabel was dead, with no sign that her bed had been slept in. Since she always retired early, death must have come the evening before. Upon Mabel's death, the old Nathaniel A Young homestead was sold, thus taking it out of the hands of the Young family for the first time since Nathaniel was married in 1866. Mabel was buried next to Guy in Maplewood Cemetery. They had three children-

         Haley Young [Y10d], son of Archibald E Young and Sarah Powell, was born 18 February 1788 in Pittsylvania Co VA. When Haley came to Giles Co is unknown, but there was an H F P Young who witnessed a promissory note from Jarrett Young [Y10c] to Ephraim M Massey in December 1834 in Giles Co. (JM,FG, 15z)


         Haley Franklin Young [Y10c1], son of Jarrett Young, was born in 1815 in Giles Co TN. He married Charlotte _____ (Colston?) about 1831, probably in Giles Co. She was born in VA in 1812. In 1840 they lived in Wayne Co TN, probably in the northwest corner near Clifton. The 1840 census for "H F T Young" in Wayne Co perfectly matched the ages of Haley, his wife, and their first five children. Then in 1850 he was in Marshall Co, and in Hardin Co in 1860. Haley was a farmer, and was a Confederate Lieutenant in the 9th Cavalry of TN. He was captured and sent to Louisville, KY in April 1863. Haley died in the 1860s in Hardin Co TN; Charlotte was still living in Hardin Co in 1880 with her widowed son-in-law William Templeton. She and Haley had about twelve children-

         Hamilton Young, son of William "Captain Billy" Young and Mary Salmon, was born in 1805 and died in 1857. (NY,JE,4a, 1ywz)


         Hannah Young, daughter of John Young and Margaret Wood of Loudoun Co VA and 96 District (now Laurens Co) SC, was born in the 1790s in Spartanburg Co. She married James Dillingham by 1814. (NY,JE, 1aehiwyz)


         Hantippie Young [Y1f6d], daughter of Jesse Nathaniel Young and Mary F Fuller, was born about 1877 in Giles Co. She was found only in the 1880 census; nothing else is known of her. (15s)


         Harbard C Young [Y4h4], son of Isaac C Young and Sarah Nancy A Harwell, was born about 1848 in TN, probably Giles Co. He was about twelve years old when his father died (his mother died when he was two), and Harbard Mead Harwell was named as his guardian by the county court. Nothing more is known of young Harbard; he was not found on any Giles Co record after 1850. (The "Harberd Young" in district 20 in the 1880 census was Harbard's first cousin Jasper Harbard Young [Y4i2].) (15np)


         Harold Young [Y1f1g5], son of John E Young and Ora Ann Harwell, was born in 1902, probably at Pulaski, TN, and in 1920 lived at Nashville. He may have lived in Nashville in the 1970s. (58,MA,18w)


         Harold F Young [Y1f3d1a], son of Henry Mahlon Young and Annie Vera Locke, was born 16 June 1916 in Limestone Co AL. He enlisted in the US Army at Fort McClellan on 10 July 1942. He was not married then, and was a construction worker. Harold died 25 August 1994 at Mansfield, Richland Co OH. (M,Z, 46w, 590f)


         Harold Lee Young [Y1f12a6e], son of Ben Franklin Young and Mary Louvene Stapp, was born 16 December 1947. Harold was a personnel manager at a machine plant at Lewisburg, Marshall Co TN in the 1980s. He still lived at Lewisburg in 1993. He married Brenda Joyce Hudson in Marshall Co on 17 July 1969. She was born in 1948. (GY,17mP)


         Harriet Ann Elizabeth Young [Y19j2], daughter of Peter Barney Young and Elizabeth Rhea, was born in 1842 in Maury Co TN, and died 12 August 1881 in Webster Co MO. She married Jonathan Harwood on 12 April 1858 in Webster Co. He was born in 1833 in TN, son of William Harwood (1794-1878) and Belinda Dobbs (1805-1872), and moved to Greene Co MO when he was about age 8. He and Harriet lived at Ozark, Webster Co in 1870 next door to his parents, and were still there into the 1880s. They had five children at Ozark-

         Harriet Knight Young [Y9a], daughter of Rufus Knight Young and Rebecca Young [Y1e], was born 12 March 1821 in Giles Co TN. She grew up in Giles Co and married Reuben East about 1840. Since she was a member of the Robertson Fork Church of Christ in the 1830s and until after her marriage, it can be assumed that this is where the marriage took place. This church was in northeast Giles Co, now on the Marshall-Giles Co line on the Lynnville-Cornersville highway. Harriet's husband Reuben was born in Henry Co VA on 12 March 1819, son of John East and Elizabeth Payne. By August of 1841 Harriet and Reuben moved to Wayne Co (per church records) and lived there for over twenty one years where he was a farmer. Sometime between 1862 and 1866 they and most of their children moved up river to Savannah where Reuben opened a hotel called the East House in the center of Savannah across the street from the southeast corner of the town square. This was the only hotel in Savannah until 1888 when the Metropolitan was established. The Easts sold their hotel on 8 April 1892 to Mr J K Barlow, but remained at Savannah until their deaths. Over the years they lived in their children’s nearby home, but apparently were living in the hotel when it was sold. Harriet and Reuben were the family magnets over the years; as long as they were living, their children often moved back to Savannah even after having married and moved away. Harriet died 21 July 1897, and Reuben on 23 July 1896 at 1:30 pm at his son Harston's home at Savannah. Reuben was buried the following day; his funeral services were conducted by Bysom Polk Odeneal, father of the second wife of James Thomas Young [Y9c4], Harriet's nephew. both are buried in the Savannah Cemetery. They had eleven children-

1.      John Harston East, b 7 Dec 1841

9.      Adoline M East, b Sep 1860

10.    Nancy B East, b Aug 1862

11.    William C East, b Nov 1868

Reuben's parents died in the late 1820s, and Reuben's aunt and uncle Mildred Payne (sister of Reuben's mother Elizabeth Payne) and Joseph East (brother of Reuben's father) raised John's and Elizabeth's eight orphaned children. Reuben's double first cousin Elizabeth Ann East (only child of Joseph East and Mildred Payne) was living at Savannah with her husband Archibald McDougal before Harriet Young and Reuben East moved there, so the East family ties are what probably brought Harriet and Reuben to Savannah, not any Young relatives. The Easts of McNairy Co descend from Barzley Graves East, Reuben's uncle. Read the story following Jeremiah C Young [Y9c3]. (N,FE, JY,52,11nq, 15kCzw, 9rscz)

(W,662fc)


         Harvey Joseph Young [Y12e7], son of James Harvey Young and Mary Ann Yates, was born 20 February 1871 at Annie Creek, AR (Searcy Co?). He married Mary Magdeline "Maggie" Green in Newton Co on 10 September 1893. In 1900 they lived next door to his parents in Richland Twp, Newton Co AR. They were still in Richland Twp, but in Searcy Co in 1910. Maggie was born in MO on 21 January 1876, and died at El Paso, TX on 11 October 1914. Harvey died 1 May 1916 at Park Hill, OK and was buried in Pettit Cemetery in Cherokee Co OK. They had four sons by 1900, then five more children by 1910, all in AR, and with six still alive in 1910-

         Henry Young [y17a5b], son of George Young and Ann Catherine Gross, was born 1 May 1828 in Franklin Co TN, and was not found in 1850. He died 23 April 1901. (W,227jk)

 

         Henry B Young [Y1d6], son of William Young and Allie _____, was born in March 1849 in Marshall Co TN. He was Henry Young in Marshall Co living with his mother Ala Young and his five older siblings, who included his brother Marcus (age 20), his sister Sarah (age18) and his brother Gabriel (age 16). His whole family was skipped by the 1860 census taker, but they were in Lincoln Co in 1860. His mother had married again in the 1850s to a Mr Blackshear. Henry's step-father was the only father he knew since his actual father William Young had died when Henry was an infant. In 1870, Henry (age 21), his sister Sarah (age 38), and his again widowed mother all lived together in District 10 of Lincoln Co, but now with his step-father's family name. Two doors away was his older brother Gabriel Young, age 36. (age 30 in 1880, 40 in 1900, 60 in 1910). His mother married a Mr Blackshire in the 1850s, and that person became the only father Henry knew. Henry used the Blackshire name after then. In 1880 Sarah had reverted back to the Young name, but not Henry. Henry had married "Miss Margaret Morrison" in Lincoln Co on 26 December 1872. In 1880 they lived next door to his mother Aley (Young) Blackshear in District 10, and Henry's brother Mark M Young (age 50) also lived next door.

         Henry's wife was Mary M in 1880 and in 1910, Maggie in 1920 and 1930, and was born in Lincoln Co in 1857. She was age 23 in 1880 with Henry (he was age 30); 52 in 1910 with Henry B (he was age 60); Maggie, age 50 in 1920 living with son Robert and daughter Sallie; 72 in 1930 living with son Robert and daughter Sallie, and was Maggie Blacksher, age 83 on 2 Jan 1941 when she died. She was a daughter of John Hall Morrison (1829 TN) and Martha Jane Davidson (1829 TN); Martha's parents had married in Lincoln Co on 17 July 1871. Margaret's brother William A Morrison (1855 TN) lived next to Margaret in 1920, 1930. There was a "Henry Blacksher" (age 40) and wife" Maggie E" (age 37) in District 10 with three children in 1900, but the children's names and ages, and ages for the Henry and wife of this biography did not match those of other census records, nor of Maggie's 1941 obit. Henry's brother Gabriel Young lived seven doors away from the 1900 unidentified Henry and Maggie. Henry died in the 1910s and afterwards Margaret lived with her son Robert and daughter Sallie. Maggie died on 2 January 1941 at home in Lincoln Co and was buried in Old Orchard Cemetery at Petersburg. The Lincoln County News (9 Jan 1941) obituary spelled her name as Blacksher. That obit named some of her children: Mrs Jim Harvey; Mrs Callie Benson; Miss Sallie Blacksher; Mrs Oscar Davis; and sons Newsom and Robert Blacksher. Of those children named in the obit, Robert and Sallie were shown living with Maggie in 1920 and 1930. Daughter Callie was born after the 1880 census, and married before the 1900 census; daughters Ossie and Sallie, and son Robert lived with her parents in 1910. One of the daughters named in the obit other than those shown with Maggie in census records was probably an elder daughter from the 1880 census who married before 1900. Maggie and Henry an d their children were not found in the 1900 census, so there was a 30 year gap from 1880 to 1910. Maggie and Henry had two known children by 1880, and nine by 1910 with seven still alive. All children were born in District 10 of Lincoln Co-

a.      Alene Blackshear, b 1876

b.      Eliza Blackshear, b 1878

c.      Callie Blackshear, b Aug 1880

d.      dau Blackshear married Jim Harvey and lived at Huntsville, AL in 1941. Perhaps this was daughter Ora who was born in 1884, or was one of the two eldest daughters Alene or Eliza. (N)

The 1860 and 1900 Lincoln Co census takers was quite incompetent, especially the one who handled District 10 in 1860; they missed names, spelled names incorrectly, and were off by as much as ten years with ages. In 1850 in District 10 there were 802 families; in 1860 there were just 208, and in 1870 there were 1,218 families. There should have been over 600 families in 1860. So it is obvious that many hundreds of people were overlooked by the 1860 census taker.

Henry's adopted family name was spelled Blackshier in 1870, Blackshear in 1880, Blacksher in 1900, Blackshere in 1910, Blocksheor in 1920, and Blackshir in 1930. Gravestones of this name in Lincoln Co all were spelled either Blackshear or Blackshire.

Margaret's obituary named "four daughters, Mrs. Jim Harvey, of Huntsville; Mrs. Callie Benson, of Scottsboro, Miss Sallie Blacksher, of Petersburg; and Mrs. Oscar Davis; two sons, Newsom and Robert Blacksher, of Petersburg; a sister, Mrs. Jesse Muse, of Flat Creek. Mrs. Blacksher was born and reared here and was the daughter of the late Amsiah and Jane Morrison, of this community." (N,17n, 16mrsuvc)


         Henry Butler Young [Y1f12c5], son of Henry W Young and Annie Odeneal, was born 15 July 1915 at Pulaski, TN. He married Lillie Belle Dugger at Pulaski on 25 June 1937. She was born at Lawrenceburg on 15 June 1917, daughter of John Almon Dugger and Lillian Ann Baker. Henry and Lillie lived at Pulaski where he owned a dry cleaning business. Henry died at Pulaski on 18 December 1998 and Lillie on 30 October 2008; They had three children-

         Henry Clay Young [Y9m], son of Rufus Knight Young and Rebecca Young [Y1e], was born 10 November 1842 in Giles Co TN. He was a very young boy when his parents moved to Hardeman Co where he grew up. When the Civil War commenced, Henry joined Company K, 27th Tennessee Army of the C.S.A. at Pocahontas in Hardeman Co in 1861. Henry, his mother, and many of his brothers moved west to Collierville just east of Memphis, after Henry's father died in 1870. Henry married Ruth Brooks on 1 October 1867 in Marshall Co MS. Ruth was born there on 4 January 1847, daughter of Aaron T Brooks and Martha Cherry McGlohon. Aaron T Brooks owned 320 acres across the Highway from where Henry and Ruth built their home, and gave his daughter Ruth one-third of this land (her siblings Eugene and Laura also each got one-third). When Henry and Ruth were married, they lived in Ruth’s house until Henry built a house of his own about a year later. Henry and Ruth were members of the Baptist Church and he was the church clerk. He and Ruth lived at Collierville (about eight miles north of her Marshall Co home) for years where he was a farmer, but soon after 1880 moved to Byhalia, Marshall Co MS where he was a cotton gin owner and operator. Henry sold the gin about 1884 and they moved back to Shelby Co (Collierville?), where Ruth died 9 February 1887. The economy of the year 1892 was in a depression, and the sale price of their farm goods was so low that in December 1892 the remaining family moved to Memphis. In the summer of 1893 Albert and Malcolm, Henry’s two oldest boys, went to St Louis to live. Some time later another son moved to St Louis to live, and over the next few years others of the family moved to St Louis. Some time later, Henry Young Sr. sold the farm plantation but refused to retire. He took a position as a salesman and collector with the Rink Coal Company. In 1920 Henry lived at East St Louis, IL with his daughter Ruth and son Isaac. He was then age 77, and was still not retired. Henry died on 11 February 1922 in East St Louis. Their children were-

1.      Maud Young, b 25 Jul 1868

Much family history was recorded by Henry Clay Young in his family bible; this bible was apparently handed down to his son Albert, who continued recording the family records in other notebooks. (52,PY,12nq, 14rs,326u, 198w)


         Henry Clay Young [Y2d12], son of Thomas A Young and Martha Patsey Joyce, was born 18 April 1851 in Wayne Co TN. Henry married Nancy Gray on 25 September 1870, and died 8 April 1873 at Elkins, Washington Co AR. He was buried in Shumate Cemetery in Washington Co. Nancy remarried after Henry died. "Mrs Nancy Young" married David Wadkins in Washington Co on 6 May 1880. In June 1880 Nancy and her new husband lived in White River next door to her parents James Gray Sr (1823 TN) and Elizabeth Ball (1827 KY). David Wadkins was born in AR in 1854, and was Nancy’s next door neighbor when they were children at White River. He had a son from his prior marriage. Nancy Gray was born at Richland, Madison Co AR in December 1847. She and Henry C Young had two children-

         Henry Mahlon Young [Y1f3d1], son of John Spencer Young and Ora Lee Clem, was born 29 April 1895 at Sand Springs, Morgan Co AL. His name was sometimes spelled Mayland. He married Annie Vera Locke on 27 February 1915 and in 1917 and 1920 they lived at Athens, Limestone Co; in 1930 they were at Cleveland, OH and Henry was a railroad fireman.

         Henry Stanley Young [Y3a2d12], son of Thomas Benton Young and Mary Jane Stanfield, was born on 20 July 1907 at Forestburg, Montague Co TX. He was still single in 1930, working as a bookkeeper for a packing house in Cado Par LA. Stanley married in Montague Co TX to Pearl Eugenia McCool on 1 August 1932. She was born 8 October 1911 in Montague Co, daughter of Rufus Thomas McCool and Alma Eugenia Mitchell, and died on 8 December 2001 at Nocona, Montague Co. She was buried in Nocona Cemetery. Henry and Pearl must have divorced because there is a second marriage for Stanley on 14 September 1963 which ended in divorce in Archer Co on 12 September 1973. That wife was Dovie D _____, born about 1908. These second marriage dates conflict with the fact that Henry married during these years to Lorena Ruth Richardson. He died at Olney, Young Co TX on 29 April 1990. The grave next to Henry in Megargel Cemetery in Archer Co was his wife "Lorena R Young." She was Lorena Ruth Richardson [Y3a2h2], daughter of Ollie Young and William T Richardson, and was born 19 September 1900 at Loving, Young Co. She grew up in Archer Co from the age of 2, and died at Wichita Falls on 19 November 1965 of heart failure and cancer. Her death certificate had her name as Ruth Lorena Young. Stanley was the informant for Lorena’s death certificate. Ruth's mother Ollie was the youngest daughter of Joseph S Young and Rebecca Huff, and was Thomas Benton Young’s sister. Therefore Lorena and Henry Stanley Young were first cousins. Ollie’s family, in 1910, lived next door to John A Young [Y3a2g] in Archer Co. Henry Stanley Young and Pearl Eugenia McCool had three children-

a.      Grady Glenn Young, b 10 Apr 1936 in Montague Co. (271b)

See James Thomas Young [Y9c4] and wife Haley Priscilla Odeneal. Priscilla descends from Stephen Odeneal, born in 1808 in VA, and Annie Odeneal descends from Granville L C Odeneal, born in 1822 in NC (his parents were born in VA). Probably these two early 19th century Odeneal men were brothers. (GY, HY, MA,15mubvfc,25w)


         Hensley L Young [Y1f1c], son of John Calvin Young and Elizabeth Lemontine Abernathy, was born 28 June 1854 in Giles Co. He was single in 1880, living at Pulaski with his family, and was a wagon maker. He died 13 May ____. The year could not be read on his gravestone in Maplewood Cemetery. Since there was no record of him after 1880, he probably died by 1900. (15qrsc)


         Hera L Young [Y15e1c1], daughter of James Thomas Young and Velma Jane Martin, was born in 1925 in Ellis Co TX. (54f)

         Hilda H Young [Y4d1d1], daughter of Henry Clay Young and Anna Bell Wright, was born 11 December 1900 in Lamar Co TX, and died 28 February 1983. She was buried in Restland Cemetery at Cunningham in Lamar Co. She was married to a Mr Clement by 1961 when she was the informant for her father’s death certificate. There is a gravestone for a Hilda H Black in Restland Cemetery with Hilda Young’s birth date, but the death date was 1 March 1983. This date was just one day after Hilda Young died, so may be the same person. The TX death listing shows her name as Clement when she died. The only Clement grave in Restland Cemetery was for Thomas Edward Clement, born 2 January 1890 at Biardstown, Lamar Co, and died 23 December 1968 at Cunningham. If this was Hilda’s husband, she may have married a Mr Black after he died. By the summer of 1917 he lived at Minter, Lamar Co and had two children. (TXd, W,Z,M,45vdc)


         Hiram Young [Y13], son of Reverend John Young and Nancy _____ of early Lincoln Co, was born 7 May 1805 in VA. He moved to Giles Co in 1853 via Rutherford Co TN.

Hiram died there on 3 July 1854, and was buried near Bryson. He first married Judith L Molloy on 26 November 1835 in Rutherford Co. Judith apparently died after the birth of her only child in the late 1830s, and Hiram then married Sidney Suttle Alexander. Sidney was born in VA in 1807 and died in Giles Co on 27 January 1862; She is also buried near Bryson (in southeast Giles Co two miles from Lincoln Co). Hiram's only known children are-

a.      Frances A Young, b 16 Sep 1836

This was her second marriage since she had two sons living with them, ages 9 and 11, in 1920 who were born in OK of a TX born father. Hiram was age 7 in 1880, 26 in 1900, 44 in 1920, and 51 in 1930.

         Horace G Young, parents unknown, lived in Collin Co TX. He had a son named Charles Otis Young, born in Collin Co on 17 July 1888, and died at Henrietta, Clay Co TX on 24 August 1950. When he died, he lived at Ringgold, Montague Co. Thomas Benton Young [Y3a2d] and his children lived in Montague Co.

But Hubert’s death record correct that, and named his actual parents. Hubert’s mother died eight days after he was born, so his father let his older siblings and father take care of Hubert. Hubert’s father’s sister Leona had just given birth to a daughter three months prior, so she apparently was the one who fed her nephew Hubert. (Z,46f,67d)


         Hugh Young [Y2d3d2], son of William Lenton Young and Ida Counts, was born 29 May 1885 in AR, lived in Indian Territory about 1890, then was in TX from the early 1890s.

         Captain Isaac Young [y18] of Spartanburg Co SC was probably born by 1755 and was married and with perhaps seven children by 1790. His wife was born about 1755; because of numerous land deeds, and the close proximity of where Isaac and the Cantrell families lived, Isaac's wife may have been Margaret Cantrell. Isaac was named to serve on the Spartanburg Grand Jury in March 1788, (along with Britton Willeford of the James Creek area, James Alexander and William Lipscomb of the Pacolet River area, and others). And in March of 1790 Isaac Young and Thomas Jordan were named as "commissioners to mark and lay out" a road from the Pacolet River to Broad River (in northeast Spartanburg Co). In January 1793 an Elizabeth Saunders was found by the Co courts to be guilty of "bastardy," and was fined £5. Isaac Young and James Saunders agreed in court to pay her fine and also agreed to indemnify the county from the maintenance of the bastard child. And again Isaac served on the Grand Jury, in January 1794, this time with Richard Young of James Creek, and served again in July 1798.

         If there was any connection to the William Young Senr [y1] family of Spartanburg Co in the pre-1800 years, then Isaac Sr would have been of age to be a son of that William Young, but there is no evidence for this. There were two generations of Isaac Youngs in Spartanburg Co between the 1780s and the 1850s, and often both lived with each other. The 1830 census and deed records indicate that Isaac Young Esquire and Isaac Junior were the same; the subject of this biography is Isaac Senior.

         Isaac and his family lived in Spartanburg Co probably near the north center of the county on 12 November 1812 "Isaac Young Sen" (the second generation?) of Spartanburg Co sold a 183 acre plantation on the "waters of the Pacolet River on a branch of Buck Creek" (north center Spartanburg Co) to "Isaac Young Jun of the same State and District." Isaac Senior made his "X" mark; witnesses were James and John Cantrell. This land sale was perhaps done on or soon after Isaac Junior married his first wife. In 1790 Isaac's near neighbors were the families of Henry Young, John Young, William Wood, John Cantrell, William Garrett, and others. In 1800 William Garrett and a Richard Cantrell were neighbors, thus indicating that Isaac had not moved. Isaac bought 400 acres from John Woodward on Buck Creek in 1787, 200 acres from Thomas Warren along the Pacolet River in 1791 (and sold it the same year to John Bankson), and 350 acres on Buck Creek in 1795 from Elias Jordan. Isaac sold 410 acres on Buck Creek to Isaac Cantrell in 1797, and 250 acres on Jacobs Branch to Moses Cantrell in 1803. There are other land transactions, one in 1804 and another in 1807 where Isaac bought 200 acres and 141 acres on Island Creek from Joshua Prout and from J Morrow. Isaac was still in the same part of the county in 1810, but was not there in 1820. In 1830 an Isaac Young Esquire was listed in the census but was shown to be born in the 1790s; apparently the 1830 Isaac was a son of our subject.

         There are Georgia records of an Isaac Young Sr who arrived in that state in 1736 with his wife Sarah, son Isaac Young and daughter-in-law Elizabeth _____, and three other sons: John Young, Nathaniel Young, and Thomas Young; Thomas was age 15 then. If this Isaac was connected with one of the two Isaacs of Spartanburg Co, it would have been Captain Isaac Young, since son Isaac Jr didn’t marry his wife Sarah until 1840. Captain Isaac appears to have had the following ten children-

a.      Barry Young, b c1774

b.      son Young, b 1774-1784

c.      James Young, b 1774-1784

d.      Isaac Young Jr, b 29 May 1786

e.      dau Young, b by 1790

h.      son Young, b 1790s

i.       son Young, b 1790-1800

j        son Young, b 1790-1800

Some of the family of Isaac Young Jr were buried in Buck Creek Baptist Cemetery. This would be in the area where Isaac Sr sold land to Isaac Jr in 1812. Descendants of Captain Isaac Young were found in the following counties by 1930 or before: Clay Co AR; Greene Co AR; Jefferson Co AR; Sacramento Co CA; Bollinger Co MO; Scott Co MO; Rowan Co NC (Berry Young's family); Newberry Co SC; Spartanburg Co SC; Gibson Co TN; Lake Co TN; Obion Co TN; Shelby Co TN (some of the Youngs); Warren Co TN; Weakley Co TN; Bexar Co TX (some of the Youngs); Coleman Co TX; Erath Co TX; Falls Co TX; Jefferson Co TX; Leon Co TX; Madison Co TX; Rusk Co TX; San Antonio, TX; Tom Green Co TX. (L,1aehijyc)


         Isaac Young [Y4i4], son of Joseph W Young and Catherine Wilson Stephenson, was not shown in the 1850 census with his brothers. But in the 1860 census, he and brother William both had an age of ten. Therefore, Isaac must have been born very late in 1850 in Giles Co TN and William born very early that year, or else Isaac "fudged" his age as young boys often did with the census takers, and he was really born in 1851. After 1860, Isaac wasn’t found. (15nqr)


         Isaac C Young [Y4h], son of Thomas Young and Sarah _____, was born about 1818 in Maury Co TN, at or close to Columbia, but grew up at Bradshaw in Giles Co. He married Sarah Nancy A Harwell by the summer of 1840 in Giles Co. She was born 29 June 1824 in TN. Her parents were probably Harbard Harwell Jr and Elizabeth Paine; a hand written copy of the Harwell family Bible says "Nancy married Mr Young" and there are many close Harwell ties to Isaac and his family. Isaac, Sarah, and their children lived at Bradshaw, as did many of the Harwell families. Sarah died 29 April 1850 in Giles Co, probably at Bradshaw, and was buried in Center Point Cemetery at Bradshaw. After her death, Isaac married Elizabeth Woods in Giles Co on 14 November 1852. They were not found in the 1860 census, and probate records show that Isaac had died by November 20 of that year. His son-in-law Harbard Mead Harwell (son of Stith Meade Harwell) was named as the guardian of Isaac's youngest son. Nothing is known of Elizabeth Woods, but there is no evidence that she had any children with Isaac. His burial place has not been found. Apparently Isaac's children lived with relatives in and near Giles Co until they were adults. These known children were-

1.      Laticia Kila Young, b 15 May 1841

2.      Thomas Coleman Young, b 7 Oct 1843

3.      Madora Catherine Young, b 1846

         Isaac C Young [y17a5g], son of George Young and Ann Catherine Gross, was born 18 July 1838 (age 15 in 1850, 22 in 1860) in Franklin Co TN. He was a Private in Company I, 1st Tennessee Infantry, CSA with his brother George. Isaac married Mary S Holder in Franklin Co on 22 September 1867. He was buried in Goshen Cemetery at Cowan, Franklin Co, but his gravestone has no dates. (W,227knqmc)


         Isaac Rowan Young [Y9c3c1d3], son of Kevin Rowan Young and Janis Elaine Bredehoft, was born 30 September 1984 at Fresno, CA. He works with physically handicapped persons. (JY, CAb)


         Isaac Wilbur Young [Y9m7], son of Henry Clay Young and Ruth Brooks, was born 8 August 1881 at Byhalia, Marshall Co MS. In 1900 he lived with his father and siblings at St Louis, MO. Isaac married Ollie May Coleman about 1906 and in 1910 they lived at St Louis; Isaac was a salesman then. She was born at St Louis in March 1887, daughter of Robert C Coleman and Stella _____. In 1918 Isaac was working as a printer at St Louis, and was not married. He was a heavy drinker, and because of that, his wife left him. In 1920 Isaac was living with his father and sister Ruth at East St Louis, IL, and Isaac was divorced by then. There were no children living with him in 1920; they were living with his sister Maud. In 1930 Isaac had a new wife and they lived near Chicago, at Des Plaines, where he was a printer. He then stated that he first marriage at age 21 (about 1903), and his wife in 1930 claimed she first married at age 36 (about 1923). His wife in 1930 was Elizabeth Wolf, born in IL in 1887. Her mother Mrs Elsie Wolf, age 71 and born in Germany, lived with Isaac and Elizabeth in 1930. Wilber had four children-

a.      Wilber Coleman Young, b 29 Jun 1906

b.      Dorothy E Young, b 1908

c.      Clayton Young, b 25 May 1923

d.      Robert Young, b 20 Jun 1927

Robert C Coleman was born in 1858 in MO; he was a mailman. His wife Stella was born in 1864 in MO. They married in 1885, lived at St Louis in 1900 & 1910, then at Chicago in 1920, and at Kansas City, Jackson Co KS in 1930. (PY,M, 326u, 198w, 214f)


         Isabella Young, daughter of William Anthony Young and Mary _____ of Spartanburg Co SC, was born in 1838 in Spartanburg Co. (JE,1np)


         Isabella Young [Y1c7], daughter of Buckner K Young and Frances Cox, was born about 1843 in Giles Co. She was not found in the 1860 census in Giles Co. Since the pre-1865 marriage records of the Co were lost, it is not known whether she married or died in the 1850s, but her death in the 1850s is the probable answer. Usually when a young teenage girl married, she would live close to her parents in her early married life, and with her sons named after her father and brothers; none of this was found. (L,15n)


         Isaiah Scott Young [Y12e7b], son of Harvey Joseph Young and Mary Magdeline Green, was born 19 January 1896 at Quincy, Newton Co AR, and died 19 May 1978 in Tahlequah, Cherokee Co OK. He was buried in Pettit Cemetery in Cherokee Co. Scott married Viola Dale áOolaâo Terrell by June 1917 and they lived at Vian, Sequoyah Co OK then. In 1920 and 1930 and 1940 they were at Cookson, Cherokee Co. She was part Cherokee Indian and was born 31 January 1901 at Pettit, Cherokee Co, daughter of William Terrell (1866-1936) and Elizabeth Lillard (1870-1915). Viola died 28 June 1984 at Tahlequah and was buried in Pettit Cemetery in Cherokee Co. They had nine children by 1940, all in OK, and all labeled as Indian in the 1940 census-

He was in TN in 1811 when he and his brother John had to pay taxes in Botetourt Co VA that their father should have paid. Jacob was not found in TN in 1820 (his siblings were living in neighboring Franklin Co). Jacob was in Lincoln Co from 1830 until he died, but actually may have been there in 1820; there is no existing 1820 census for Lincoln Co, but White people had been settling there in large numbers from the 1790s. Jacob was age 53 in Lincoln Co in 1850, born in VA. His wife was Mary Lee, born in 1798 in NC. They had one son and eight daughters, all born in TN-

He married Mary Margaret "Peggy" Eudy in Marshall Co on 11 October 1853. She was born about 1830 in NC, daughter of Christopher David Eudy and Catherine Light. They lived in western Marshall Co where their sons were born. In 1870, Jacob was not found, and his wife was living at Jonesboro, Union Co IL with three sons. She was living with Mary Eudy (born 1814 NC), and Eliza Willis (born 1834 NC). Jacob and Mary Margaret had four sons, all in Marshall Co AL-

1.     James M. Young, b 1855 (571q,572r)

        Jacob W Young [Y22], born 21 November 1763 in Queen Anne's Co MD, was in Caroline Co MD when he enlisted in the Revolutionary War in a Company called "The Select Company of Militia of Caroline County." He served 8 months as a marine then in February 1782 Jacob volunteered for a 12 month term in the privateer service. On 12 April 1790 he married Martha Patrick in Rockingham Co NC. They lived at Salisbury, Rockingham Co afterwards until the early 1810s when they moved to Maury Co TN. Jacob was named in the marriage record of his daughter Betsey on 25 December 1810 in Maury Co. on 22 April 1813 her was a buyer at the estate sale of the late William Isom in Maury Co; Samuel Young also bought, but he was also found back in Rockingham Co NC in 1820, then in Maury Co again in 1830. Apparently he traveled back and forth in those years before finally settling in Maury Co where they remained into the 1840s. In 1833 he applied for a military pension from Maury Co. He was age 78 in 1840 and was a Revolutionary War Veteran. Jacob's wife Martha was born in NC on 4 February 1766 (age 25 in 1800, 44 in 1810, 45+ after then), daughter of William Patrick (1738-1771) and Mary Buchanan (1739-1804), and died at Spring Hill, Maury Co on 7 January 1840. In his home in 1830 were also two young adult females and one adult male, plus his wife. In 1840, in the 22nd Civil District (census page 382), his home consisted of himself and two young adult females (widowed daughter and granddaughter?). Jacob died in Maury Co on 23 April 1847. In their home they had six children in 1800, and nine in 1810-

a.     dau Young #a, b 1785-1790 / 1785-1794. She may have been a younger sister of Jacob or Martha, or was the eldest child, born in late 1790. (798eh)

c.     Betsey Young, b 1791-1800 / 1785-1794. She married John Whiteside in Maury Co on 25 December 1810, so was likely born in the early 1790s, as the 1810 census indicated. Jacob Young provided the marriage bond. In 1820 in Maury Co John Whitesids (age 26-44) and William Whitesids (age 26-44) lived next to each other; Robert Whitesids (age 26-44) lived three doors away. In 1820 they had no sons in their home, but had one daughter under age 10. There was a John Whitesides and wife in Maury Co in 1830. This couple was born in the 1790s. There was a Jonathan Whiteside living nearby in 1830, but he was born in the 1800s. John and Betsey had three children-

        Jacqueline Lucille "Jackie" Young [Y14d1c4h3], daughter of Mamie Lucille Kyle and Marshall Stanford Young, was born 25 July 1936 in McLennan Co TX. She married Ernest Dale Warren; she also married William A Weaver and lived at Yuma, AZ. William was born 27 December 1926. Jackie had a son in McLennan Co-

        James Young, son of William Young and Margaret Neil of the Enoree River area along the Spartanburg-Laurens Co line in SC, was born about 1775; see Samuel Young, James' brother. (NY, JE,MM, 2hyz, 1wzaehy)


        James Young, son of John Young and Margaret Wood of Loudoun Co VA and 96 District (now Laurens Co) SC, was born between 1775 and 1784 in the South Carolina Colony. Since his parents lived in SC in the future Laurens or Spartanburg Co when James was born, this would limit his birthplace. James grew up and died in Spartanburg Co and left a will there dated 7 February 1827. He married Elizabeth _____ about 1800 and lived in the north part of the county around the Pacolet River. In the 1820 census he was called "James Young Esq," indicating that he held public office. James had five children by 1810, and another five by 1820. He was a farmer. (NY,JE,1aehiwyz)


        James Young, son of John Young of Laurens Co SC, was born after 1805 in either Spartanburg Co or in Laurens Co SC. He was named in his grandfather's 1826 will and is presumed to be the grandson not of legal age in February 1826. (1j,3p)


        James Young, son of John Young Jr and Nancy Salmon of Spartanburg Co SC, was born in 1810 in SC. (NY,JE,64, 1pz)


        James Young [Y15], parents unknown, was born in KY, probably in the early 1810s, and lived in Giles Co TN in 1840. He married Margaret _____ about 1833 in TN. She was born in TN in 1815. James died in the 1840s, leaving Margaret with five children still at home. Margaret and their children lived in Lincoln Co and in Giles Co in 1850 and 1860. In 1840 in Lincoln Co there was a Robert Young with a wife and two young sons and a teenage girl (sister? sister-in-law?). This family does not account for the daughter Elizabeth, born in 1835, shown in the 1850 census. All other Young families in Lincoln Co in 1840 had five to seven children under age 20 (Margaret had, at most, three or four in 1840). In Giles Co in 1840 there was a James Young family; he had two sons under age 5, one daughter age 5 to 9, and a wife age 20 to 29. There were no other families in Giles Co in 1840 who had the correct number of children with the right ages. Hence, this James Young was probably him. The 1840 Giles Co James Young was born in the 1810s; his wife was also born in the 1810s.

        Since Margaret and her children lived in southern Lincoln Co in 1850, then it was likely that her 1840 home was at the southeast side of Giles Co. In 1860 she was back in Giles Co, living near Elkton in southeast Giles Co, close to Lincoln Co. James and Margaret had seven children, all born in TN, probably in Giles Co-

John D Young, born in TN in 1815 (James' brother?), lived with Margaret in 1850 in Lincoln Co. He was apparently a widower and had a one year old son George Young.

In 1860 there was an 8 year old William Young living with Margaret and her younger children in Giles Co. (16n,15kr)

        James Thomas Young [Y9c4], son of Amaziah Young and Mary Elizabeth Cherry, was born 13 February 1849 at Columbia, TN.

Not much is known of Tom in the 1870s, but he was graduated from the University of Virginia. Tom and his brother Jeremiah were land speculators in the Collierville area, and at Bells TN. They moved to Bells, Crockett Co by 1880 and at Bells Tom married Alice M Jenkins on 10 April 1881. Nothing is known of her background, except that she was of Irish descent. She died at Savannah on 11 June 1892 of dropsy and was buried in Savannah Cemetery. When Alice died, Tom temporarily left the care of his three children with his mother, who was by then living at Savannah, and went back to Williamsport to spend some time with his sister Adoline.

Bysom Polk Odeneal had a brother Charles H Odeneal, of Grayson Co TX in 1888. Bysom was born in Giles Co TN about 1845, son of Stephen Peter Odeneal (born 3 Sep 1807 VA, died Giles Co on 20 Spr 1871) and Jane M Dickenson (1814TN), but lived at Savannah in 1880 with wife Kathleen and five of their children. There is a grave for Polk Odeneal in Cool Springs Cemetery in Giles Co, but it has no dates; there are no Odeneal graves in Hardin Co. Apparently Polk either died at Savannah and his body was taken back to Giles Co, or he actually died in Giles Co after the 1896 funeral at Savannah for Reuben East. Polk participated in that funeral.

        Jeremiah Cherry Young [Y9c3], son of Amaziah Young and Mary Elizabeth Cherry, was born on 20 December 1846 at Columbia, TN. He moved to nearby Williamsport when he was a boy, then to Collierville as a young man with his parents. Jerry was a land speculator with his brother James Thomas, and in his younger days a farmer. He must have made frequent business trips to Savannah since he married his first cousin Emily W "Emma" East [Y9a7] about 1877 at Savannah where Emma and her parents had been living for about 15 years. Jerry's father was a brother of Emma's mother Harriet Knight Young [Y9a], and Emma's father was Reuben East. Emma was born in Wayne Co in 1855. Jerry and Emma had probably lived in Crockett Co at Bells Station since 1877, for he paid property taxes there that year; in 1880 he was still at Bells, with his wife and two sons, but soon afterwards they moved to Savannah. Emma died at Savannah in 1884 and was buried in the Savannah Cemetery.

        The following year, on 30 August, Jerry married his cousin Anna Laura East [Y9a1b]. Anna was born 21 February 1866 at Savannah, daughter of John Harston East [Y9a1] and Charlotte Frances Montague. Jerry and Anna lived at Savannah until he died on 23 December 1899; he was buried in the Savannah Cemetery two days later. Since most of Annie's closer East relatives had recently moved west to AR and few remained at Savannah. Annie, her three young children, and her two step-sons (who were also Annie's double cousins) moved to Tyronza, AR soon after 1900. They lived at Tyronza for years, being supported largely by her husband's eldest child Van Young. About 1913 at Sherman, TX Annie married Louis Napoleon Sanders and apparently lived at Sherman for a while. Louis had been married twice before; the second marriage being with Annie's cousin Worda Gaines East [Y9a4e]. Louis was born 17 January 1863 in AL, and died 19 January 1938 at Tyronza. Annie died at Jonesboro, AR on her birthday in 1928 and was buried in Jonesboro. Louis was buried with Worda in the Tyronza Cemetery. Jerry had five children (Annie and Louis Sanders had none during their marriage)-

c.     Jerry Cherry Young, b 26 Oct 1888

d.     Maude Latane Young, b 12 Sep 1891

Worda's grandfather was Barzley G East of McNairy Coborn in 1812, while Anne's father was a grandson of Barzley's brother John East, born in 1795. This made Anne's father and Worda second cousins. See the story following Anne's grandmother Harriet K Young [Y9a]. (52,FE,JY,LY, UR,11q, 14r,10nqm, 33d,32u, 9rsmcu,20stz, 31uvc)

        Jerry Cherry Young [Y9c3c], son of Jeremiah Cherry Young and Anna Laura East [Y9a1b], was born 26 October 1888 at Savannah, TN. Jerry's mother was his second cousin (see the story of his father). Jerry's father died when Jerry was eleven years old, so Jerry's mother moved to Tyronza, AR soon after 1900 where her parents had recently moved. Jerry grew up at Tyronza; he married Eulah Vienna Esperence Rowan on 20 February 1916 at the First Presbyterian Church at Memphis, TN. He was first engaged to marry Melborn Maxine Goodrich, but hadn't yet met Eulah; he soon canceled his engagement to Melborn and married Eulah. Melborn later married Jerry's first cousin Henry Clay East [Y9a1e1]. Eulah, in later years, shortened the spelling of her name to Ula. She was born at Tyronza on 17 June 1898, youngest child of William Andrew Rowan and Frances Matilda Hand. Jerry and Ula lived at or near Tyronza until 1929 when the depressed economy forced them to try a better life in Southern California. Jerry’s sister Lotte had moved to Long Beach in CA years earlier, so when Jerry and his family set out for CA, they rented a house a few doors from his sister Lotte.

        While at Tyronza, Jerry and Ula moved often, sometimes two or three times per month, going from one rental to another. Jerry kept close ties by mail with his Young and East cousins in AR, Savannah, and Arizona, but never returned to Savannah which he considered his home until soon before he died. He was a patient, gentle man of slight build, being 5 feet 6 inches tall, and was an accountant. He died at his daughter Betty's home at Palmdale, CA on 10 April 1953 of a lung tumor. Ula stayed in the Palmdale area for years, then moved north to be near her son Jerry at Stockton. She died at Santa Cruz, CA of complications of old age on 4 June 1976. Her attending physician was her grandson Larimore Cummins [Y9c3c2b]. Jerry and Ula were first buried in the Old Palmdale Cemetery, but when their son Paul Larimore died and could not be buried next to his parents, both Jerry and Ula were moved to the new Palmdale Cemetery about a mile to the south east. Their children were-

        Jerry Rowan Young [Y9c3c1], son of Jerry Cherry Young and Eulah Vienna Esperence Rowan, was born 23 April 1917 at Tyronza, AR and lived there until the age of twelve; in 1929 his family moved west to southern CA, and he lived in southern and central CA the rest of his life. He was called Rowan by the family, but most people knew him by his first name. Rowan attended the University of Southern California and became a dentist. He opened his first practice with his new brother-in-law Haldane Cummins at Palmdale, CA, but over the years slowly moved to central CA, finally settling at Stockton and South Lake Tahoe. Rowan married Patricia Margaret Ellis at Los Angeles on 25 April 1942. She was born 11 July 1919 at Duluth, Minnesota, daughter of John Henry Ellis and Diana LaTendresse (of Superior, WI). Pat and Rowan divorced in 1957 and he then married his office secretary of five years, Jeannette June Reichert, on 19 August 1957 at Juarez, Mexico. Jeannette was born at Hastings, Nebraska 8 September 1926, daughter of Karl Henry Reichert and Mabel Leona Stensgaard. Rowan was a farmer at heart, but supported this with his dental practice, and Jeannette was the wife who was most involved with Rowan's farming life. She died of cancer at Stockton on 23 March 1970 and was buried at Winnemucca, Nevada (they had a farm nearby). Later that year, Rowan married his bookkeeper Janice Darlene Johnson in NV. Janice was born 31 August 1937 at Fresno, daughter of Morris Johnson and Eva Smith. On 9 July 1974 while trying to fly from the South Lake Tahoe office to the one in Stockton, in one of the biggest rainstorms in years, Rowan's private plane crashed near Kyburz, killing him and Janice. They were both buried with Jeannette at Winnemucca.

        Patricia Ellis, in the meanwhile, became a school teacher after her divorce with Rowan, then about 1962 she married Bob Robertson from San Rafael. He was also a school teacher, at a private boys military academy at San Rafael, north of San Francisco.

        Rowan and Janice had no children, but he adopted Jeannette's Cheryl and Mike from her prior marriages, and had five children with Patricia-

Jeannette then married Edgar J Newman on 28 Feb 1948 at Las Vegas, NV; they had Michael Earl Newman. In 1951 their marriage was annulled. Janice Johnson had previously been married and divorced from _____ Gentry. She had two children: Loren K Gentry, born 7 Jul 1956; and Joy C Gentry, born 21 Jun 1958.

Jeannette’s second husband, Edgar J Newman, was found by their son Michael in the 1990s, and he moved to SD to be near Mike. Edgar died on his 80th birthday at Arlington, SD on 23 Oct 2002, and was buried there. (JY,PE, CY,CAb)

John W Fuller, the father of Jesse's second wife Mary F Fuller, had married Jesse's aunt Elizabeth Young [Y1h] in the 1820s. Elizabeth died by 1837 and John W Fuller then married Mary F Fuller's mother, Rebecca. In 1860, Rebecca (age 43, born in NC) and John W Fuller were living in the Bunker Hill area in 1860 with their children. The youngest daughter then was a girl named Zantippi, age four. Next door was Andrew M Wilson (age 43, born in TN) and his wife Zantippi (age 35, born in TN). It appears that John Fuller and wife Rebecca named their daughter after the neighbor, who could have been Rebecca's sister-in-law. (58,75, L,N,GW, MA, 15knqrsumcwv)

        John Young was born about 1736 in Loudoun Co VA. He moved to 96 District (now Laurens Co) in the South Carolina Colony with his mother and brothers by the 1770s, and by the 1780s to the Pacolet River area in the northern part of present day Spartanburg Co. There is little evidence that he was related to the Young families who lived along James Creek in the east central side of today's Spartanburg Co. John married Margaret Wood, daughter of William Wood Senior. Records also indicate that John married Emily Wood. If she was another woman, then Emily was the first wife (and sister of Margaret?). John was quite well off by 18th Century standards; he had nine slaves by 1790 and 14 slaves ten years later. William Young of Greenville Co SC sold 1,130 acres along the Pacolet River to John on 21 March 1807. This was land first granted to William in 1786. William may be John's oldest son. George Salmon of Greenville Co SC also sold 500 acres of Spartanburg Co land to John, on 6 June 1807. John's land was on the bank of the Pacolet River. Some of his neighbors were William Young, William Foster, Alex Fitzpatrick, and a Mr _____ Clark. John died in Spartanburg Co in 1807 since his estate papers were dated 5 October 1807. Margaret's estate papers were dated 19 November 1814. John's known children, many who moved to Greenville Co SC, were-

        John Young, son of Thomas Young Sr of York Co PA and Catherine Brandon, was killed by Tories on 10 July 1780 at Sardis, SC. (60,JE)


        John Young Jr, son of John Young Sr and Margaret Wood of the Pacolet River area of Spartanburg Co, was born 1 December 1762 in Frederick Co VA. He was a boy when his parents moved to Laurens Co SC, then later to Spartanburg Co. He enlisted 1 November 1780 and served under Captains Major Parson, Thomas Price, and Gowan, and under Colonels Thomas and Roebuck. Under Parson he was a private from 7 June 1780 to 1 May 1782, and was a lieutenant under Captain Gowan from 17 May to 8 June and from 23 July to 23 August 1782. In February 1797 John married Nancy Salmon, a sister of the Co clerk George Salmon who had married John's older sister. Nancy was born 5 October 1777 at Petersburg, VA. John and Nancy moved to Greenville Co a short distance to the west, probably soon after 1797; they were not in the 1800 Spartanburg Co census, but appeared to be in Greenville Co in 1800. The History Of Greenville Co South Carolina makes reference to John as "Dr John Young of Spartanburg." He left a will in which his son Lewis C was the executor. John died 14 April 1835, and Nancy twenty years later on 15 May, both in Greenville Co. John had twelve known children-

        John Young, son of William Young and wife Patience _____ of Laurens Co SC, was born in 1773 in the James Creek area of Spartanburg Co SC. The number of Young men in the James Creek neighborhood where John lived who could be John's father is limited to William Senr or any of his known four sons. John must have been a close relative to the other Young families since he lived next door, but was not a son of the late Nathaniel, son of William Senr, since Nathaniel also had a son name John, born in 1774. Richard, son of William Senr, was of age to have a family prior to his marriage to Isobel about 1783, and did have a male in his household in 1790 whose age was about the same as John's; Richard also left a will in which he did not name a son John, but did indicate that he had children other than those he named in his will. William Young, son of William Senr and brother of Richard, lived in Laurens Co in 1790 and had children who would have been just a few years younger than John, making John the oldest child. And Thomas, another son of William Senr, named seven children in his 1813 will, but did not name John. The children he did name were all adults, some even being in their mid-30s. Therefore, even though it was common for a parent to give a child his inheritance prior to the writing of the will and if that child was already an adult, and then not name the elder child in the will, Thomas did not do so with his other children. Therefore, there is little reason to suspect that he omitted John, if John was a son. And if John was the youngest child of William Senr, John would have been a teenager when William Senr died in 1787, and William's will made no mention of a young son named John. Therefore, this leaves only Richard Young and William Young Jr (of Laurens Co) who could be the father. The choice of which of the two possible men could be John's father is answered in William Jr's 1826 Laurens Co will. In it he names his then late son John and John's sons.

        In the 1800 census, John lived next door to Richard's nephew John Archibald Young [Y1] (son of Nathaniel) who later moved to Giles Co. The elder John's birth date, from the 1800 census, was 1756-1774. Since he did not marry until the mid or early 1790s, is shown to be born between 1774 and 1790 in his father's household in Laurens Co in 1790, and is older than his cousin John Young whom we know to have been born in 1774, then the elder John's birth date must be 1773.

        William Young Jr and his father William Senr owned James Creek land for many years, so William Jr and probably his son John must have grown up and lived along James Creek before they moved to Laurens Co. And Richard Young, John's uncle, also grew up and lived in the James Creek community. John would have likely had close ties in Spartanburg Co when William Jr and the younger children moved to Laurens Co in the 1780s, and would have considered James Creek his home; he apparently married in the mid-1790s, either in Laurens Co or in Spartanburg Co and settled in the James Creek neighborhood with his new wife.

        We do know John had three children under the age of ten in 1800, thus indicating that he married in the 1790s. His wife was about the same age as John. After 1800 John was not found in Spartanburg Co and in his father's 1826 will it says that John lived on the north end of his father's land on the east side of Simmons Creek in Laurens Co. John was dead when his father's 26 February 1826 will was written. Three of John's sons were named in that will. His children were probably-

1.     Washington Young, b 1790s

2.     dau Young, born in the 1790s, probably in Spartanburg Co, was not named in her grandfather William Young's 1826 will, so may have died by 1826.

3.     son Young, born in the 1790s, probably in Spartanburg Co, was not named in his grandfather's 1826 will, so may have already received his inheritance by then, or may have died without heirs.

3.     John Young, b 1800s

4.     James Young, b p1805 (JE,NY,JY, 1aejnw, 3aw)


        John Young, son of William Young and Margaret Neil of the Enoree River area along the Spartanburg-Laurens Co line in SC, was born about 1776 in 96 District of the South Carolina Province. He was left one-seventh of 200 acres of land by his father's October 1787 will. He and his brothers Joseph and Thomas sold their shares of the land to Daniel McKie on 13 August 1804. (NY,JE, MM,1wzaehy, 2hyz)


        John Young [y17a1], son of Leonard Young and Anna Marie Gross, was born about 1794 in Botetourt Co VA. He and his brother Jacob were in TN when his father’s bills needed to be paid back in Botetourt Co in 1811. Perhaps this TN trip was just an exploratory trip to see if Franklin Co was suitable for him.

        In VA there were two (of many) enlistments into the US Army to defend the country against the invading English, to fight in the War of 1812, which could be John, son of Lemuel: John Young enlisted on 20 June 1812, and he was age 28 (born about 1784) in Bedford Co (the county just east of Botetourt Co), and he was a chair maker by trade. Another enlistment, on 12 May 1912 for John Young, age 18 (born about 1794) in Botetourt Co, and he was a laborer. This second John must be the eldest known son of Lemuel.

        In 1820 John was in Franklin Co TN, head of his home. In his home were John, age 26-44 (born 1794), a possible wife and sister or two sisters of the same age as John, and three boys and a girl under age 10. There was only one John Young in Franklin Co in 1830, but his age was in the 20s (born 1801-1810). There was a second male in the home of the same age, and there was a woman of his age. Also, there were a boy and girl age 5-9, and two boys and a girl under age 5. There were actually ten Young families in Franklin Co in 1830, but no familiar Young names lived near this John. He may not be Leonard’s son. See the 1830 census info following Leonard’s biography. He was not found in Franklin Co in 1840 either.

        John died in 1847. He was in TN in 1811 when he and his brother Jacob had to pay taxes in Botetourt Co VA that their father should have paid. John was the son age 16-25 in the 1810 Botetourt Co census. If John was not found in Franklin Co in 1830 nor in 1840, and he died in 1847, then he had moved to another county in the 1820s and died away from Franklin Co, or lived with a married sister. In 1830 in northern AL, there were three John Young families. None of them were of age to be John, son of Leonard. (K,M, 566h, 227j)


        John Young Jr [Y1b], son of John Archibald Young and Nancy Smith, was born about 1795 in Spartanburg Co SC and came with his family to Beech Hill in Giles Co when he was a teenager. He married in 1820, but the name of his wife is unknown. She was born in TN in 1806-1810. John died in the winter of 1825-1826, probably in Giles Co although his grave has never been found. He would have probably been buried in Beech Hill Cemetery, the family Cemetery in the early and mid-19th century of the Young families of the area. John's wife may have died about the same time, or at the birth of their son; she has never been found on any records. Also, according to Giles Co deed records (Book J, Page 469), John's son was supposed to have been supported by John's brother Buckner (John's father actually supported the boy), and there was never any mention of John's widow in these records. John only had one child-

        John Young, son of John Young of Laurens Co SC, was born in the 1800s, probably in Spartanburg Co and was named in his grandfather William Young's 1826 will. (1ej,3p)


        John Young [y17a5a], son of George Young and Ann Catherine Gross, was born 3 November 1826 in Franklin Co TN, He married Clamensa Francis in Franklin Co on 27 August 1848. She was born 2 November 1826 in Franklin Co. John died 18 March 1865. They had two children by 1850, both in Franklin Co-

        John “J J” Young [Y19i8c], son of John Plez Young and Elizabeth Sipes, was born 21 April 1882 in AR, and died about 1925. He was a widower living with his parents at Wilson, Choctaw Co OK in 1910. In 1900 he was age 18 and single, so he must have married within a few years, then she died by 1910. In 1920 he was still in Choctaw Co, now married to Annie Julia Broadhead. They married in late 1911 in Choctaw Co. She was born in the Creek nation, Indian Territory on 2 April 1892, daughter of Robert Melvin Broadhead (1851-1919) and Julie Ann Cane (1855-1931), and died 20 October 1954. They had three sons, all in OK-

        John A Young [y16], son of John Young (1802 VA) and Mariah Rogers (1808 NC), was born in July 1847 in Bedford Co TN (age 5 in 1850, 13 in 1860, 24 in 1870, 32 in 1880, 51 in 1900). John A grew up in Bedford Co and married Nancy J Jackson there on 25 December 1867. Moses Marshal was the Justice of the Peace or Minister. Their marriage record had their names as "Jno A Young" and "Nancy Jackson." Bedford Co is two counties northeast of Elkton in Giles Co. In 1870 John A and Nancy lived in Marshall Co with their two eldest daughters, who were also in the 1880 census in Giles Co near Elkton. John's mother Mariah also lived with them in Marshall Co in 1870. The 1900 census showed that they were married 30 years prior. In 1880 John and Nancy lived in District 1 in Giles Co. Nannie was born in December 1849 in GA (age 20 in 1870, 27 in 1880, 51 in 1900). They had six children by 1880, eventually eleven by 1900, and all born in TN; eight were still alive in 1900-

        John A Young [Y3a2g], son of Joseph S Young and Rebecca Huff, was born 5 December 1871 in Lincoln Co TN (his parents lived in Lincoln Co in 1870). He married Ida Mae Hayter in 1904 and in 1910 they lived in Archer Co TX. In 1920 they lived near Megargel, Archer Co. Ida was born 21 May 1883 in TX, daughter of William Mitchell Hayter and Mary Jane Monk. The death certificates of Ida's children John A and Morine gave Ida's full name. These same two death certificates also named their father as "John A Young" without the middle name, just the initial A. In 1930 John and Ida lived at Abilene and he was a stock rancher. Ida died 22 December 1956 (not in TX). John died 17 October 1954 at Olney, Young Co but lived at Megargel in Archer Co when he died. Both are buried in Megargel Cemetery. There were two gravestones for Ida and John; one had an April 20 birth date for Ida, and the other had a May 21 birth date. The stone with the May date was put in by a child. It says "– MOTHER – / IDA H YOUNG." That same child also erected a second stone for John A, but with matching dates. They had about a dozen children, all born in TX-

        John Archibald Young [Y1], son of Nathaniel Young and Patty Crawford of the future Spartanburg Co SC, was born in 1774 in the area along the intersection of James Creek and Tyger River. His father died when John was but a boy of about 9, leaving John, his three or four brothers, possibly two sisters, and his mother Patty. In 1790 the family was living in the part of the County where the Tyger River crosses the Spartanburg-Union Co line. They lived in the James Creek-Tyger River neighborhood close to Nathaniel's brother Richard Young. As time went on, John owned land previously held by George Crawford, land next to his grandfather William Young's land. He married and had the first of his ten children there. His wife was Nancy Smith, one of many children of John Buckner Smith and Dianna _____ of nearby Dutchman's Creek. John and Nancy were members of Friendship Baptist Church of Spartanburg Co (a few miles north of James Creek). February 1792 deed records (Book F, Page 39) show that Buckner and Dianna sold a 127 acre plantation on Cain Creek near Tyger River to a Benjamin Grist, and in 1795 Buckner bought 126 acres along Dutchman's Creek, which was near the neighborhood of Richard and Nathaniel Young at James Creek. Therefore, John lived a short walk to Buckner's home for a few years prior to when he and Dianna were married.

        This couple belonged to the Tyger River Baptist Church (also called Friendship) at the turn of the 19th Century, as did many other local people who were later found in Giles Co TN. John and Nancy were probably married there about 1793. This pioneer church was located sixteen miles south east of the town of Spartanburg (about where the present town of Glenn Springs is today), and about five miles north of where John and Nancy had their home. In May 1801 John was "excluded for the sin of intemperence" (drinking or eating too much) by the church leaders. Nancy was born in 1776, so was about 17 at the time, a common age for a young woman to be married in those days.

        On 23 December 1808 John sold his small farm along James Creek to his brother-in-law Archibald Smith. This sale was witnessed by John Holley (probably the husband of John's niece Mary T Young [Y4a]) and by John's father-in-law Buckner Smith. Within a few weeks of this sale, John, Nancy, and their four sons and three daughters moved to Bradshaw Creek in eastern Giles Co TN. In March 1812 Archibald Smith sold the farm and also moved to the plush countryside of Giles Co living next door and east of John and Nancy; witnesses of this sale were Richard Young and William Young. Richard was John's uncle, and William was either a cousin or a brother. Although John and family arrived in Giles Co in early 1809, there is no record of him owning any land there until 22 February 1814 when he bought 171 acres along Bradshaw Creek from Samuel Polk of Maury Co. And in October 1816 John bought 100 acres along the headwaters of Bradshaw Creek, from Polk, land next to the first purchase. This is today at Beech Hill; the "headwaters of Bradshaw Creek," called Little Bradshaw Creek today, runs just west of the home he build there about 1816 or 1817. A witness of the first deed was Nathaniel Young, and the second deed was witnessed by John Young [Y1b], son of John and Nancy. Because John's brother Nathaniel was living nearby in Maury Co, it is not known whether witness Nathaniel Young was John's son or brother.

        In 1819 Nancy died and was buried in Beech Hill Cemetery just up the hill and west of their home (which was built soon after 1816, and was still occupied in 2010). Her gravestone said "Consort Of John Young." John then married Mrs Nancy ____ Buchanan, who already had a daughter, Mrs Frances T Craven, wife of John Craven. John and Nancy were members of the United Baptist Church of Christ in Giles Co. For at least 15 years prior to his death on 17 October 1838, John was a local Justice of the peace. He was buried in Beech Hill Cemetery next to Nancy Smith.

        In these early years, it was quite common to have children spaced 2 and 3 years apart. In the 1820 census, in John's home, the males were: one son under age 10 (Archibald), one son age 16-18 (Spencer), two sons age 16-25 (Buckner and William), and John, age 45 or older. Sons Nathaniel and John Jr had already married and left home. In 1830 in John's home there was one male age 5-9 (grandson William A Young, son of John's late son John Jr), one male age 15-19 (Archibald), and John, age 50-59. Missing in the neighborhood were son's Nathaniel (died in the 1820s), John Jr (died in the 1820s), and William Young (recently married, and was perhaps living with his in-laws). Son Spencer was married and lived next door to John; son Buckner was married and lived in the same area, but quite a few doors away. In 1840 in Nancy Young's home (John's widow), there were no sons. Living next door to Nancy was son Archibald (age 20-29) and son William (age 30-39). Sons Buckner and Spencer each lived in their own homes in Giles Co, closer to each other than they were to Archibald and William. John A Young and Nancy Smith had at least eleven children-

The Tyger River Baptist Church (also called Friendship Baptist Church) was closely affiliated with Boiling Spring Baptist Church, which was in Union Co close to the home of Major Thomas Young. Families of the Tyger River Church from 1801 to 1804 who were also found in TN counties within a few years were: Beard, Golightly, Meadows, Moore, Smith, Willeford, Willis, and Young (John and wife Nancy Smith).

Buckner Smith, John's father-in-law, and Buckner's wife Diana probably moved to Bradshaw with their son Archibald Smith about 1812, from Dinwiddie Co VA. The 1789 personal property tax list of Dinwiddie shows Archibald Smith and Millington Smith, and other Smith families. In 1790 Millington was living near John Young's uncles Richard and Thomas Young, and near John's mother, in Spartanburg Co SC.

        A Charles Moore, a pioneer of Scotch-Irish descent, moved to Spartanburg Co from PA about 1763 and built his log home 8 miles southeast of the present town of Spartanburg. It would be reasonable to assume that this Charles Moore was the ancestor of most, if not all of the Moores of Spartanburg Co into the early 19th Century.

        John Archie Young [Y3a10], son of William C Young and Elizabeth Kennedy, was born 27 July 1850 at Pulaski, TN. In September 1865 he was unmarried and was living in Giles Co. By the early 1870s he had married Mollie Jane McCanless (she was Millie in the 1880 census, Mollie in 1900 and 1910). She was born at Lewisburg in Marshall Co on 17 December 1851, daughter of John S McCanless and Mary Elizabeth Morris. See Dianna Young [Y1g]. John was a farmer, and they at first lived in Marshall Co, but moved to TX soon after 1880, then to the Oklahoma Territory by 1900. He died at Berlin, Roger Mills Co OK on 20 February 1926. Mollie also died there, on 18 December 1931; both were buried at Berlin in Berlin Cemetery. They had eleven children, with six still alive in 1900 and five alive in 1910-

        John Arthur Young [Y1a6b4b], son of Robert Lee Young and Sarah Clementine Wilson, was born 17 April 1874 in Giles Co TN, and grew up in Ellis Co TX. He married Minnie Morgan late in 1893, probably in Ellis Co where they lived in 1900. In 1910 they lived in District 99, Dallas Co, and in 1918 at Cedar Hill, Dallas Co. Minnie was born in TX in May 1878. John died at DeSoto, Dallas Co on 17 November 1941 of pneumonia, but lived at Cedar Hill then. He was buried in Laurel Land Memorial Park in Dallas Co. Mrs "J A Young" of Cedar Hill was the informant for his death certificate, and she stated that John’s parents were "Robert Lee Young" and "Sarah Clementine" from TN. They had five children by 1920-

        John B Young, son of Thomas Young Jr and Sarah Cunningham of Union Co SC, was born and died in 1804 in Union Co SC. (60,62)


        John B Young [y23a1], son of Terrell W Young and Jane Manery, was born 24 September 1846 in McMinn Co TN. He was age 16 in 1850, 13 in 1860; the 1850 census taker must have misunderstood the parents, and the children were not in sight when he made the census visit. John B's death certificate said he was born 24 Sep 1846 in TN, and correctly named his parents. John married Mary Ann Lowe about 1871, and they were still in Webster Co in 1900. Death certificates of five of the younger children claimed that their mother was Mary Ann Lowe. John died on 4 Apr 1918 at High Prairie, Webster Co. D J Cantrell was the informant for his death certificate, and named his father as Terrell Young from TN and mother as Jane Manery from TN. John was buried in Mount Zion Cemetery at Odin, Wright Co. Mary Anne Lowe was born 3 Mar 1852 in TN, and died 12 Aug 1920. She was also buried in Mount Zion Cemetery and has a gravestone matching John's. By 1900 and 1910 John B and Mary had eleven children, with ten still living. One of them was Terrell W Young-

There is a Maury Co marriage record between a John C Young and Elizabeth Haley on 20 January 1851. Whether this was our John C is unknown. John did marry Mary Wilsford about 1854, probably in Giles Co. She was born in 1833 in TN, daughter of John Wilsford and Lucy _____ of District 13 in Giles Co. John C was probably a farmer, as was his father. He died 18 January 1858 and was buried in Marshall Co's Dabney Cemetery, a quarter of a mile from Giles Co. His father was the administrator of his estate. John's widow moved in with her parents after John's death, and in 1860 married William Howard Hickman. John and Mary had two sons-

        John Calvin Young [Y1f1], son of Spencer Young and Manerva Lanentine Abernathy, was born 19 May 1827 at Pulaski, TN. He married Elizabeth Lemontine Abernathy at Pulaski on 29 January 1849. She was born in Giles Co in 1828, daughter of David Abernathy and Catherine Stone. There is a record of "Calvin Young" and "Betty Abernathy" being married in Giles Co on 24 January 1873. Perhaps this was a re-commitment of their love for each other, or to replace their lost marriage record of 24 years prior. (During the Civil War, Giles Co's marriage records were destroyed.) Betty died at home at Pulaski of pneumonia on "Tuesday the 9th," in 1876, and was buried at "Arch Young's place, 10 miles east of Pulaski," according to an undated clipping from a Pulaski newspaper. Since February and August were the only months in 1876 which had a Tuesday on the 9th day, Betty must have died on 9 February or 9 August 1876. Over the years, John Calvin reversed the order of his given names and was known by the name Calvin. On 23 October 1877, Calvin married Mrs Judith Victoria Nolgrass. She was born in July 1838 in TN, and had died by 1910. Calvin was a blacksmith east of Pulaski, and a Pulaski tinware merchant beginning in the 1870s. His sons took over the tinware business and Calvin retired after 1900. He died at Pulaski on 16 October 1910 and was buried there in Maplewood Cemetery. Calvin and Betty had seven children-

She was born in Giles Co TN in 1813, daughter of William Caruthers. John was a farmer. He (and Ara?) and three children (William T, Sarah M, and Ara K D T) moved to Lamar Co TX in the 1850s. John’s wife Ara was not with them in 1860, and had probably died by then. Sons Robert and Richard were also not found in 1860, so perhaps they had died of the same illness which killed their mother. They had six children-

On 6 Sep 1896 Ora's mother married John Crutcher Young [Y1j2] in Giles Co. (58,MA, VS, Z,15smu, 18vwc)


        John Featherstone Young [Y1j2d], son of John Crutcher Young and Antoinette Harwell, was born 30 October 1868 in Giles Co TN, probably District 11 since his parents' farm was there when John F was born. He died on 24 October 1892 and was buried in Marks-Harwell Cemetery near Friendship. There are no Giles Co marriage records for John. (75, GE,15rsmc)


        John Franklin Young [y16g], son of John A Young and Nancy J Jackson of Bedford Co, was born near Elkton, Giles Co TN on 22 April 1882. He married Alice Scott in Giles Co on 15 September 1907. In 1910 John and his parents and some siblings lived in southern Giles Co near Elkton. Alice was known as Allie. She was born in TN on 7 February 1891. In September 1918 they lived at Toney, Madison Co AL, and in 1920 and 1930 they lived at Madison Crossroads, Madison Co. Allie died at Fayetteville, Lincoln Co in September 1980. Their children were-

1.     Bertha Mae Young, b 19 Aug 1908

2.     Emma Elizabeth Young, b 2 Jan 1911

3.     Lucille Young, b 1913

4.     Luther A Young, b 1915

John F Young's older brother Robert Lee Young, born 22 Oct 1878 in TN, also moved to Madison Co AL. In 1900 Robert and his wife Mattie Harris lived near Elkton, Giles Co TN, close to John F and their parents. In 1918 Robert was in Madison Co. (M,15umv, 178w)


        John G Young [Y2f2d], son of Nathaniel Young and Margaret Haley, was born about 1864 in Dickson Co TN. He married Amanda J Yates in Hickman Co on 15 September 1891, her second marriage. John and his family were not in Hickman Co in 1910, so they may have moved to another state, or he died. Amanda was born in Hickman Co in October 1870, daughter of James A Yates and M E Ridder. In 1917 Amanda's son Robert named "Amanda Pitman" of Heber Springs, AR as his nearest relative. In 1920 Amanda was living with her new husband Henry Pittman at Cherry Hill, Perry Co AR. Also in their home then was Amanda's daughter Mattie, and four Pittman children whose mother was born in AR. Amanda was born in TN, so these Pittman children were Henry's from his prior marriage. The youngest Pittman child was born in February 1919, so Henry and Amanda likely married in 1919 after then. Henry was born in IL about 1870. By 1900 John and Amanda had five children-

3.     Robert T Young, b Jun 1896

4.     Louisa Young, b Sep 1898

5.     Margarette Young, b 22 Oct 1901

Hickman and Dickson Counties are next to each other.

Amanda was apparently married prior to her marriage with John. She had a son named John Cheatham Black, born 8 Oct 1890 at Bon Aqua, Hickman Co TN living with her and John in 1900. Cheatham is not a common given name, but is probably a family name. He was married to Fanny _____ and living in Shelby Co in 1917. He died at Memphis in May 1970.

John G Young’s sister Louella Young married Amanda J Yates’ first cousin John A Yates.

James A Yates, Amanda’s father, was born 4 Apr 1842 Lincoln Co TN. M E Ridder was born in 1855 in Dickson Co TN. They married in Hickman Co on 2 Feb 1869. (M,Z, 19rsmuv)

Grace was born in November 1881 in Lincoln Co, daughter of George Owen Shull and May Belle Himebaugh. They moved to Beaumont, Jefferson Co TX by 1920, along with Graces' widowed mother Mrs G O Shull and sister Jane Shull. John worked as a pipe fitter for a ship yard and an oil refinery. Grace taught music. They had no children. George O Shull and May Belle Himebaugh married in Lincoln Co on 23 Dec 1880. (16smu, 86wf)

She was born in Webster Co on 20 December 1856, daughter of William H Hunt and Mahalia Haymes, and died at Jackson, Webster Co on 24 March 1932 from influenza. J A Young was the informant for her death certificate. John died at Marshfield, Webster Co on 11 December 1938 from heart failure. Ellis Young was the informant for his death certificate. Both were buried in Saint Luke Methodist Cemetery at Marshfield. In 1880 they lived close to his brother James.

        John J Young [Y4g1], son of William Young and Mary _____, was born about 1846 in Giles Co. He was not found after 1850, nor were his parents, so may have moved to another state. (15nq)


        John Jefferson Young [Y19e3b], son of James Edward Young and Saphronia Ann Haley, was born in 1859 in Maury Co TN. He married Eliza Jane Day in Maury Co on 29 April 1877 and they lived next to his parents in Maury Co in 1880. Eliza was born in TN in 1859. They gave ages of 1852 and 1855 birth years in the 1900 census. They had five children-

Living with John in 1880 was widow Mrs Mary Young (1838 VA) and her four children. One of the daughters was named Sophronia. (10qrmsuf)


        John L Young [Y19], was born about 1761 at Ballygowan, Ballynure Parish, Antrim Co, Ireland (northeast corner of Ireland). He first married Mary Rankin in Bedford Co PA in 1785 (where Somerset Co today), and moved to Lincoln Co VA in the late 1780s. She was born at Hagerstown, Lancaster Co PA in 1759, daughter of George Rankin, and died in Lincoln Co in 1789 after three children. The trip to Lincoln Co VA was no doubt via the Ohio River in boats; in the 1780s there were no roads in this wilderness, just hunters' trails, and these trails through the forests were not big enough to handle livestock and wagons loaded with farm tools. The boats used then on the Ohio River were large flat bottom boats, each big enough for many people, plus tools and a few livestock; they had high sides to protect the travelers from Indian arrows.

        After Mary died, John then married Nancy Adkins about 1803, probably in Garrard Co KY, and they moved to Maury Co TN about 1811 or 1812. John served in the First Seminole War from Maury Co. The men enlisted on 31 January 1818 at Camp Blount and were discharged at Columbia, Maury Co on 30 June 1818. Nancy Adkins was born in 1783 in NC, and died in Maury Co. "John L Young" took out a Federal Land grant of 26 acres in 1825 (grant #1124); the only other John Young of the area who was of age to do this was John's son, or the John Young [Y1] of eastern Giles Co. But that's John Young had already built his home at Bradshaw in eastern Giles Co years before, so would have no good reason to have another 26 acres more than 25 miles to the north. This is the only instance found where a middle initial to John's name was found. John [Y19] died in Maury Co in the 1840s; he was living in Maury Co in 1830 and 1840. They had eight children. Many of them lived in District 5 of Maury Co in 1850 (this was the southeast section of the county). The three youngest sons moved to MO about 1853-

a.     Mary Young, b 25 Jan 1785 (or 23 Apr 1786?)

b.     Elizabeth Young, b 1787

c.     John Young, b 1789 in Lincoln Co VA, and died in Polk Co AR in 1864. He married Millie A Thompson in 1809 and they moved to the Cherokee Indian lands of what was to become Madison and Morgan Counties of north central AL in 1808 and 1818 where their first ten children were born; the youngest of their eleven children was born in Hardeman Co TN. In 1840 and afterwards they lived in Polk Co MO. John died there on 8 April 1864; Millie was born in the Cherokee Homeland in 1792, in what would become Hardeman co TN in 1823, and died in Polk Co MO on 23 October 1858. (SK)

Note that the above Lincoln Co VA became Lincoln Co KY when KY became a state in 1792; Garrard Co KY was formed from Lincoln Co in 1797, and it was in Garrard Co KY where John's daughter Mary was married in 1805. See the census note following the biography of Nathaniel Young [Y2]. (74, SK,10zjk; Sources SK and rvsabaker submitted most of the info for this John Young and descendants.)

        John Thomas Young [Y2d3], son of Thomas A Young and Martha Patsey Joyce, was born 9 December 1831 in Maury Co TN, and lived in Washington Co AR. He was John in 1860, J T in 1870, John W in 1880, John T on his 1878 marriage record. John married Nancy Melissa Rutledge about 1851 and in 1860 they lived at White River, Washington Co AR. Nancy was born in 1830 in Maury Co, daughter of James Rutledge and Nancy Armstrong, and died 2 November 1876 at Elkins, Washington Co. In 1870 they lived next to John’s parents at White River, Washington Co. They had five children. After Nancy died, "John T Young" married Catharine Bustheart in Washington Co on 13 October 1878. She was born in AR in 1844. In 1880 they were living at Richland, Washington Co. The 1880 census showed her name as Katherine, with a K, and John was John W Young. John and Catherine moved to Collin Co TX where he died on 20 August 1895 at McKinney. He was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery at McKinney. John and Catherine had a son, making six children total-

a.     George Washington Young, b 10 Jan 1852

d.     William Lenton Young, b 27 Feb 1861

e.     Joseph W Young, b May 1878

f.     James Henry Young, b Feb 1880

Leon Young, born in AR in 1867, was called a "son" in 1880. He was not with his parents (John and Nancy) in 1870, so may have actually been Catherine Bustheart's son from a prior marriage. (W,10k,11n, 314qrmsc,150c)


        John W Young [Y19d2a], son of John Claybourn Young and Elizabeth Haley, was born 8 December 1855 in Caldwell Co KY. John died on 24 July 1921 in Caldwell Co from tuberculosis.

Mrs Gayle Petit was the informant for her death certificate. Their niece Mary Gresham (1900 KY) lived with them in 1920. John and Lucy had a son-

1.     Hubert C Young, b Sep 1886 in KY. In 1910 he worked as a clerk for the railroad. He was still a clerk there in 1930 and 1940 at Princeton, and was a widower. His mother lived with him in 1930 and 1940. Hubert died in Caldwell Co on 4 December 1957. (KYd, 794uvfx) (794buvwfxd)


        John W Young [Y4i6], son of Joseph W Young and Catherine Wilson Stephenson, was born about 1856 at Bradshaw in Giles Co.
