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

f.     dau Young, b by 1790

g.    son Young, b 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. (L,1aehijyc)

       William M Bell [y18a12d1], son of Mary Elizabeth Cates and William Pinckney Bell, was born 2 January 1877 in Obion Co TN. He was illiterate, as were three other sons of Pink and Mary (Green, Presley, and Wesley). Bill had married Laura Andrew Lee in Obion Co on 1 June 1899: "W M Bell" and "Miss L A Lee." G W Lee (Laura's brother George) helped provide the marriage bond. The 1910, 1920 and 1930 census had his name as William M Bell; his family was overlooked in the 1880 census, and when he registered for the WW1 draft, he gave his name as Bill Bell. But his wife's name on that draft card was "Lasadrew Bell" at Hornbeak (filled in by someone else). It was the death record that showed his middle name to be Edward, and the death record said his parents were "Pink Bell" and "Mary E Cates." William and Laura lived in District 5 of Obion Co in 1900, three doors from the future wife of his brother Christopher. Laura was born in Obion Co on 11 April 1877, daughter of William E "Ned" Lee and Elizabeth J Roberts, and died 26 February 1942 at Obion. Laura's death record showed her mother's name to be "Lizzie Robinson" and her husband as "W M Bell." Laura was buried at Hornbeak. "William Edward Bell" died at Samburg, Obion Co on 21 January 1953. He and Laura were buried in Antioch Cemetery at Hornbeak. His name on his gravestone had the Edward middle name. Since William Bell died 11 years after Laura died, then the informant for his death certificate must have been a child, and that child didn't know the correct middle name of his / her father, yet could name the grandparents. William and Laura had seven children-

In 1930 they were at Spartanburg, and the census showed his name as Daniel F Berry instead of Dock F Berry; on his WW1 draft card he signed it as "Dock Furman Berry." We know this Daniel was actually Dock because his wife was the same, as were the three children born in the 1910s. Lucy was born in NC in 1893, daughter of Jim Parker and Sarah F Black. Furman died in January 1963 in SC. Lucy died 29 June 1930 in Spartanburg Co; "D F Berry" was the informant for her death certificate. They had three children by 1920-

       Ollie Bunyan Berry [y18d10d3], son of William P Berry and Hesentine Kicks, was born 15 January 1889 in Spartanburg Co SC. He lived in Spartanburg Town in 1910. On 24 November 1911 he enlisted in the US Army. After he was discharged, Ollie lived at New York City in June 1917. He remained there into the 1940s, and was an apartment building superintendent. Ollie was married by June 1917, but was a widower in 1930. He was then living on Broadway Ave. He died at Yonkers, Westchester Co NY in April 1978. (M,Z,1uv, 594f)

       Robert Berry [y18d10c], son of Martha Jane Young and William George Berry, was born 4 August 1858 (was age 18 in 1880) in Cherokee Twp, Spartanburg Co SC. When he died, he was buried in Buck Creek Church Cemetery at Cessna, Spartanburg Co, next to his mother and brother William. His gravestone is very weathered, and the birth date is hard to read. What is quite legible in 2006 was "Robert / Daughter of / W & M J Berry / Born / [cannot read] 18__." The last two digits of the birth date are either 58, 68, 53, or 63. The death date cannot be read. From an earlier reading, perhaps in the mid-1990s, it appears that the death date may be 14 August [cannot read year]. Buried next to Robert’s mother is the grave of "W P Cooley" who was born 29 April 1961, and died 1 November 1907. Robert was buried on the other side of his mother. Hence, these two must be her children. The 1880 census taker was lackadaisical, and did not get accurate ages for these two boys. Therefore, because of the spacing of the births of Robert’s and William’s older siblings, it would appear that the gravestone dates are the accurate ones, and the birth date of Robert on his weathered stone was then likely 1858. (W,1sc)

       Robert L Berry [y18d10b2f], son of John Earle Berry and Laura Nettie Cook, was born 2 May 1916 in Spartanburg Co SC, and died 30 April 1988 at Spartanburg. (Z,1f)

       Isaac Young Jr [y18d], son of Captain Isaac Young and Margaret Cantrell of Spartanburg Co SC, was born 29 May 1786 (age 59 in 1850, 74 in 1860, 84 in 1870) in Spartanburg Co. He married Prudence Dobbins about 1812 (they had three children by 1820). She was born in NC on 20 September 1791, daughter of William Dobbins and Elizabeth Scruggs, and died 7 January 1837 in Spartanburg Co. She was buried in Buck Creek Church Cemetery in Spartanburg Co. Isaac then married Sarah Scruggs near Cowpens, Spartanburg Co on 18 February 1840; Reverend Drury Scruggs performed the ceremony. Sarah was born in Spartanburg Co about 1795, daughter of Richard Scruggs and Mary Dobbins, and died 24 January 1879 in Spartanburg Co. Isaac died 15 November 1873 and was also buried in Buck Creek Church Cemetery, next to Prudence. In 1812 Isaac bought a 183 acre plantation from his father, so probably he continued living where he grew up. In 1830 he and his wife were living in Spartanburg Co with about eight children, and with an older woman, perhaps his widowed mother or mother-in-law. Isaac’s apparent children were-

Living close to Isaac in 1820 was William S Golightly, born 1775 or before; his wife was born about 1780, and they had seven children. Three were under age 10.

Living close to Isaac in 1840 was Robert Scruggs, born in the 1800s (an age to be a brother of Isaac’s wife Sarah). (L,W, 1aehijyknpr)

       Isaac Young [y18a4], son of Berry Young and Rebecca _____, was born 19 December 1801 in Spartanburg Co SC. (W,L, 1aehijy)

       James Young [y18c], probably a son of Captain Isaac Young, was born about 1778 in northern Spartanburg Co SC. Captain Isaac Young was a generation older than James, and lived close to where James lived as an adult. The ages of James’ children in 1810, none over age 10, indicates that he married about 1799, and had his first home by 1810. The 1810 census showed that he was age 26 to 44 (born between 1766 and 1794). His wife was the same age; she was Ann Foster. A birth date of between 1775 and 1780 seems most likely for them. Also in their home in 1810 was a second male of James’ age, plus five children under age 10; some of these children could belong to the other adult male. In 1820 James was James Young Esq, indicating that he was of some political importance in the area, and his age was between 26 and 44 (born between 1766 and 1784), and his wife was the same age. There were ten children in their home in 1820; the eldest five matched the ages of the children from the 1810 census.

       James Young Esq was still alive in 1830, living in Spartanburg Co in a neighborhood were there were close neighbors Moses Foster, William Foster, and William Cantrell. James was age 50-59 then (born 1771-1780); his wife was age 40-49 (if she gave a correct age and was the same wife), so was born between 1781-1790. They had about twelve children by 1825-

In 1810 the nearest Young family was Margaret Young on census page 360; James was on page 357.

James’ 1830 neighbors are noteworthy; It was Captain Isaac Young who had married Margaret Cantrell. The Cantrell families lived in the northern part of Spartanburg Co. Therefore, it appears that James Young lived there also. See the biography of Captain Isaac Young [y18]. (W,1hij)

       Martha Melissa Young [y18c1a2], daughter of William Casswell Young and Mary Hayes, was born 19 June 1854 at Midway, Madison Co TX. She married Pleasant Kittrell Goree in 1876, his second marriage (see following note), and died at Midway on 19 October 1930. P K Goree was the informant for her death certificate. Pleasant was born 22 May 1845 at Marion, Perry Co AL, son of Dr Langston Goree and Sarah Williams Kittrell, and died 22 April 1933 at Midway. Mrs F L Gilbert of Houston (daughter Sara) was the informant for his death certificate. They were buried together in Midway Cemetery. In 1920 they lived next door to daughter Clara in Madison Co. They had seven children by 1900, all still living-

a.     Clara Amanda Goree, b 9 Oct 1876

b.    Hayes Goree, b 23 Aug 1878

c.     Mary Belle Goree, b 6 Feb 1880

d.    William Langston Goree, b 22 Oct 1881

f.     Pleasant Kittrell Goree Jr, b 24 Aug 1886

g.    Tommie Nolley Goree, b 25 Sep 1888

In 1910 Melissa and Pleasant lived in Madison Co’s Justice Precinct 2 and their close neighbors were the parents-in-law of Janie Rogers [y18c1a1c], and Mollie Ann Wingo Young [y18c1a3] and her son Tillman.

Both of Pleasant’s parents were buried in Midway Cemetery. Dr Laughton Goree was born 19 Sep 1793, and died 5 Jul 1853; Sarah Williams Kittrell was born 26 Apr 1807, and died 17 Jun 1903.

Pleasant married before his marriage with Melissa. There is a gravestone in Midway Cemetery for Fannie M Goree, born 30 Oct 1846, died 18 Jun 1878, and it says "Wife of P.K." But the 1880 census shows Pleasant and Melissa and four children in Madison Co. The eldest daughter, Fannie M, was born in TX in 1873; she had a father born in AL (Pleasant), and a mother born in MS (Fannie). The younger three children showed that their mother was born in TX (Melissa). Hence, Pleasant’s first wife died in 1876, not 1878. The numbers 6 and 8, when weathered, tend to look alike. There is a death record for Mrs Fannie G Davenport who was born in TX on 16 Jun 1873, died at Houston on 7 Jan 1965, and her parents were shown to be "P K Goree" and "Fannie Mangum." Fannie was a widow when she died. This was the daughter of the "Fannie M Goree," wife of PK Goree in Midway Cemetery. Hence, Pleasant’s first wife was Fannie Mangum. "Fannie Goree Davenport" was buried in Midway Cemetery (the only Davenport grave); her gravestone says "Wife of Marion C Davenport" and has her dates 16 Jan 1873 - 7 Jan 1965. (W,83d, 420qrsuvwdc)

Elizabeth died before 1888, probably in Greene Co AR where they lived in 1880. Moses then married Susan Matilda _____ in 1888, and they lived at Johnson, Clay Co AR in 1900. This was her second marriage. Matilda was born in January 1851 in TN (age 49 in 1900, 61 in 1910, 70 in 1920).

Greene and Clay Counties AR are in the northeast corner of AR; Weakley Co TN is two counties east of the Mississippi River, which separates the two states. So traveling between the old home relatives in Weakley Co and northeast AR wasn’t too difficult. Bollinger Co MO is three counties north of Clay Co AR.

In 1917 he lived at Jacksonville, Cherokee Co; in 1920 he lived at Austin with his mother and his three cousins: Bertha, Jeanette, and Mary E Young, ages 14, 12 and 8. (M,420u, 74v, 80w)

       William Foster Young [y18c1], son of James Young and Ann Foster, was born 16 December 1800 in Spartanburg Co SC. He was a Private in the 2nd Texas Regiment Volunteers, Cavalry Company J, and was shot at the battle of San Jacinto in April 1836. He got land grants for this. Cousin Jesse Young, born about 1795, came to TX with Wm F. William first married Hester Wingo, probably in Spartanburg Co in the 1820s. She was born in 1806 at Spartanburg, daughter of John Washington Wingo and Polly Seay. During their years of marriage, William and Hester lived in Yazoo Co MS, and in GA, then back to MS. Hester died in 1832 in Carroll Co MS. Years later William married Mrs Penelope (Haile) Robbins in TX. She was born in NC in 1813, and was married before her marriage with William. In their home in Madison Co TX in 1860 there were two teens: Thomas Robbins and Jack Robbins, ages 16 and 14, and born in TX. Penelope was not found in Madison Co in 1870, but William was. He was a widower living with his son William. In 1850 "Wm F Young" and Wm C Young" lived in Walker Co TX. These two were ages 50 and 24, but the incompetent census taker gave their birth places as AL, not SC and MS. In any case, these two must have been William Foster Young and his son William Caswell Young. Living in the same home was Mary Young, age 50, and what appears to be her three children. These four had TN and TX birth places. Perhaps this Mary was a widowed sister-in-law. William F died at Midway, Madison Co TX on 30 June 1877 and was buried in Midway Cemetery in Madison Co. He and Hester had four children-

The Battle of San Jacinto, fought on 21 April 1836 in present-day Harris Co TX, was the decisive battle of the Texas Revolution. Midway, the town where William lived during his later years, was the oldest town in Madison Co, and was settled in 1829 by J H Young. Its population has always been less than 300. When Madison Co was created in late 1853, Midway village was in Walker Co, and thus became part of eastern Madison Co. (E,LW, 1aehijy, 420qc)

       William Foster Young [y18c1a5], son of William Casswell Young and Mary Hayes, was born 7 January 1861 at Midway, Madison Co TX. He died 24 December 1897 and was buried in Midway Cemetery.
