Witnesses were Joseph John Alston, and Thomas Kearney (Edgecombe Deed Bk 1, p. 185). Note that Thomas Kearney was married to Sarah Alston, sister of Joseph John Alston. This might suggest that either Francis or Edward Young was also an Alston relative, but that has not been proven. Joseph John and Sarah Alston were children of John Alston and Mary Clark, of County Bedford, England. The Alston line can be traced back to Edward Alston, born circa 1507 in County Suffolk, England (Ancestry World Tree, at www.ancestry.com).
