3. John Young

In 1749, John and his two brothers all made wills in Essex Co., VA .in the year 1749  John made his will 26/Apr/1749.   John died first making his brother, Henry Young, his executor.  The will of John Young was exhibited in court by Henry Young on Sept 19, 1749.  Henry Young was set to make inventory of the estate, but was deceased by the time inventory was brought to court on July 17, 1750.

Another brother, Williamson Young, made his will April 22, 1749  His will was signed by H. Young.  The will of Williamson Young was brought into court on July 17, 1750

The third brother, Henry, had been alive when the other two wills were written.  Henry wrote his will on October 30, 1749.  His two brothers had already died so he named his wife executrix along with her father, Maurice Smith and his son, John Smith, of the County of King and Queen along with his son William Young.

So, this John Young died without any of his brothers living long enough to take care of his three children.  He does not name his wife in the will, so we have to assume she had predeceased him.  His wife's brother, John Smith, stepped in and became guardian for the three children on July 17, 1750.
