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)

Joe Ralph Young [Y4d1d3], son of Henry Clay Young and Anna Bell Wright, was born 25 September 1907 in Lamar Co TX. He died in jail at Phoenix, AZ on 4 April 1952, apparently from acute alcoholism. He was not married. Joe was buried in Maricopa County Cemetery. (W,45vw, 196d) J o h n Y o ung wa s b or n a b o u t 1 7 3 6 i n 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, were1. Elizabeth Young, b 22 Dec 1758 2. William Young, b 21 Jul 1759

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 Sal mon wh o h a d ma rr ied J ohn's olde r s i s t e r . 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. J ohn died 14 April 1835, and Nancy twenty years later on 15 May, both in Greenville Co. John had twelve known children1. Henry E Young, b 1795 2. Elizabeth Young, b 1800 3.

Elizabeth Dennis Young, b 15 Aug 180_ 5. Hiram Young [Y13], b 7 May 1805 6. George Whitfield Young, b 15 Feb 1807 Most of this information is from a Lincoln Co Bible record. (NY,8n) 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 J ohn 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 wh ic h he d id not name a son J ohn, 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

1003

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 1 7 7 4 a n d 1 7 9 0 i n h i s f a t h e r 's h o u s e h o l d i n 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 probably1. 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.

The YOUNG Families of Early Giles Co TN

(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 J ohn 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. J ohn was the son age 1 6-25 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 J ohn, 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 s o n wa s s u pp o sed to have been suppo r t e d b y 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 child1. William A Young, b Mar 1822 (15izys) 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.

(14rsuv) John Young [Y2e4], son of Nathaniel Young Jr and Mary E Wadkins, was born about 1879 in Hickman Co TN. He was not found there after the 1880 census. (19suv) 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 i n C h o c t a w C o , n o w ma r r i e d t o An n i e J u l i a Broadhead. They married in late 1911 in Choctaw Co. She was born in the Creek nation, Indian

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 1900a.

(242vw) (W,M,227su,283m, 242vwf) 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 B u c k n e r S mi t h a n d Dia n n a __ _ _ _ o f n e a r b y 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 sout h e a st o f the town of Spartanburg (about w h e r e t h e p r e s e n t t o w n o f G l e n n Sp r i n g s i s 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 J ohn'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 J ohn Young." J o h n th e n ma r r i e d Mrs Nancy ____ Buchanan, who already had a daughter, Mrs Frances T Craven, wife of John Craven. J ohn and Nancy we r e me mb e rs o f 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

The YOUNG Families of Early Giles Co TN (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 n o so n s. Li vi n g n e x t d o o r t o Na n c y w a s s o n Archibald (age 20-29) and son William (age 3039).

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 Ri chard and Thomas Young, and near J o h n ' 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 S p a r t anburg Co into the early 19th Ce n t ur y .

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 children1.

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 wer e l a r ge f l a t b o tt o m b o a t s , e a c h bi g enough for many people, plus tools and a few l i ve s t o ck; t h e y h a d h i gh s id e s t o pr o t e c t t h e 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 1853a. Mary Young, b 25 Jan 1785 (or 23 Apr 1786?) b.

In 1840 and afterwards they lived in Polk Co MO. John died there on 8 April 1864; Millie was born in the

not grandchildren. If Lemuel married at age 21, then it is likely that the first two or three children were born between 1788 and 1792. In 1820 in Botetourt Co there was no Nicholas Young family, nor any female Young as head of a family. The only Young families were: Jacob, age 45 or older (Lemuel’s brother?); Daniel, age 26-45; Nicholas, age 45 or older (another brother?); and Nicholas Jr, age 26-45. In 1830 in Botetourt Co there were no longer any Nicholas Young families, but there were Daniel, age 40s (was still there in 1840), Henry, age 50s, Jacob, age 60s (was still there in 1840), Samuel, age 20s, and Solomon, age 20s were there.

Therefore, the 1810 son who was born between 1801 and 1810 was either dead or was living with another family in 1820, when he would have been age about 12.

No other Young families nearby. The early research of Leonard Young and his parents was done by Darron K McGee. There was a Leonard Young in Caroline Co VA in 1810. Caroline Co is at the eastern edge of the state, and Botetourt Co in 1810 was in the center of the state; after western VA was cut away to make the new state of WV in 1863, Botetourt Co was then near the west central edge of the smaller VA.

John died in McNairy Co on 23 February 1866. After John died, his father became the legal financial guardian for Martha’s young children. Then David died in 1874 and his and John’s estates were tied up in the courts until about 1881. "John Alex Reding" was buried in Prospect Cemetery near Purdy in Alcorn Co. After John died, "Mrs Martha L Redding" married David C Mitchell in McNairy Co on 26 August 1867 and they had more children in McNairy Co. David was born in MS in 1837.

Young [Y1f5]. (VS,L,NY,GE, 16r,15qsmy, 154vw, 318f) Martha Rebecca Young [Y9m8], daughter of Henry Clay Young and Ruth Brooks, was born 12 February 1885 in Shelby Co TN, and died 20 May 1885 in Shelby Co. (PY) Martha Young, son of William "Captain Billy" Young and Mary Salmon, was born in 1813. She married J B Wallace and died in Greenville Co on 8 December 1837. (NY,JE, 4a,1ywz) Martha Young [Y1i], daughter of John Archibald Young and Nancy Smith, was born 29 January 1812 at Beech Hill in eastern Giles Co. She married her second cousin Wylie Willis Willeford [Y6b] about 1832. Her line is continued under his name. Martin Young [y17a5c], son of George Young and Ann Catherine Gross, was born 27 February 1830 (was age 20 in 1850, 30 in 1860) in Franklin Co TN. He was a carpenter, and married Manerva J _____. She was born 17 May 1844 and died 9 February 1914. Martin died 2 November 1893. They were buried in Goshen Cemetery at Cowan, Franklin Co. Manerva’s gravestone shows her name as "Manevia J Young." They had no children. (W,227knqc) Marvin Young [Y1f13?1], grandson of Archibald Smith Young [Y1f13] and Martha Burr Grubbs, was born in 1917 in AL, and lived with his grandmother in 1930 at Athens, AL. Who his parents were is not known. There is a death certificate for Marvin S Young in Limestone Co showing that Marvin's parents were Joseph H Young and Lilli Mae Brooks. Marvin S Young's wife was Lottie Higgins. Since Archibald Smith Young and Martha Burr Grubbs did not have a son named Joseph H Young, then Marvin S Young was not grandson Marvin living with grandmother Martha in 1930. (Z,ALd, 46fd) Marvin E Young [Y2d3d6], son of William Lenton Young and Ida Counts, was born 19 June 1896 at McKinney, Collin Co TX, and lived in McCulloch Co in 1910, then was at Albany, Bryan Co OK in June 1917. He was then working for his "father William L Young" and was not married. He lived with his father in 1930 at Albany, and was still single. After 1930, Marvin married Della ____, and they had five children. Marvin died in November 1965 in OK, age 69. Della was born 2 April 1902, and died at Durant, Bryan Co OK in

February 1980. (M,W,Z,150u, 662v, 552wf) Mary Young, was a daughter of George Young (Sr) and Elizabeth McCrary of Laurens Co SC. (60, JE) Mary Young, daughter of Thomas Young Sr of York Co PA and _____ Kilgore or _____ Gray, married _____ Kilgore. (60, JE) Mary Young of the Tyger River in east central Spartanburg Co SC, and the daughter of William Young, was born in the 1750s. Her father's will of March 1787 stated. "also I Will that if Edwd Smith sould Die I give Mary his wife my Daughter." In this will he also named sons Richard and Thomas. An Edward Smith died in Spartanburg Co in 1789. The will of Mary's father indicated that her husband may soon die, so the Edward who died in 1789 may have been Mary's husband. This will was witnessed by Millington Smith, and in 1790 Millington was living near Mary's brothers Richard and Thomas Young [Y5]. There were three males under 16 and four females in Millington’s household. Since Mary was not found as head of her own home, she may have moved in with Millington, or married him. In 1800 Millington was living next door to an Edward Smith, who was apparently recently married and was about 26 years old. It would appear that, from very little evidence, the younger Edward Smith might have been Mary's son and Millington may have been her late husband's brother. In 1800 these Smith families were in the same Tyger River neighborhood as three other familiar men: Francis Beard (the future husband of Mary Young [Y5e] who was the niece of our subject Mary Young), Nicholas Holley (father-in-law of Mary T Young [Y4a] who was the great niece of our subject), and Nathaniel Young [Y2] (the nephew of our subject). (NY, 1aewy) Mary Young [Y5c], daughter of Thomas Young and Mary _____, was born about 1782 in SC. She married her neighbor Francis A Beard around 1807. He was born in 1765 in the South Carolina Colony (age 85 in 1850), probably in 96 District. His parents were James Beard and Margaret Irwin, and he was a brother of Robert Beard who married Mary's sister Elizabeth. Francis was married prior to his marriage with Mary and had at least five children under the age of ten when he married Mary. About 1814 Mary, Francis, and their children moved to TN. In 1820 Francis A Beard and wife (both ages 45 or older) were in Lincoln Co four doors from his brother Robert

The YOUNG Families of Early Giles Co TN Beard (age 45 or older), and ten doors from Mary Yo u n g ( a ge 4 5 or older). The neighbor M a r y Young had adult children in her home, but no husband, so was likely the mother of Mary who had married Francis A Beard. In 1830 Francis and Mary were living in Lincoln Co not too far across the county line from Bradshaw in Giles Co. They were still in Lincoln Co in 1840, next door to James Beard (born 1810s). Mary and Francis died in Lincoln Co in the 1850s. Their children were1. son Beard, b 1800s (16i) 2. Nancy Beard, b 1810 (16i) 3. Jane Beard, b 1812 (16i) 4. George Beard, b 1811-1815 (16i) 5.

In 1820 there were four of Francis’ children from his first marriage living with him and Mary. The four youngest children from the 1840 census, two girls and two boys, were probably grandchildren, children of deceased son George. In 1850 Mary Moyers and Mary Jane Moyers lived with Francis and Mary. These two young women were born in TN in 1820 and 1835. They were not in the 1849 census in Francis’ home. (JH, 1aep, 16ijknq) Mary Young [Y19a], daughter of John Young and Mary Rankin, was born 23 April 1786 at Neshannock, W e stmoreland Co PA (where Mercer Co is now, in western PA). She grew up in Lincoln Co VA & KY, and married Thomas C Kennedy on 30 August 1805 in Garrard Co KY. Mary died 10 August 1865 at Washington, Cedar Co MO.

Mary Young, daughter of Thomas Young Jr and Lettie Hughes of Union Co SC, was born on 6 September 1788 in either Laurens Co or in Union Co SC. She married Robert Livingston by 1820, and died in 1848. (62, 60,2a) Mary "Polly" Young [Y6] (also [y1e1]), daughter of Richard Young [y1e] and Isobel ____, was born about 1786 in Spartanburg Co SC. She married Willis Wylie Willeford about 1805, probably at Friendship Baptist Church in Spartanburg Co. Willis was born in Warren Co NC on 14 June 1773, son of Britton Willeford and Lucy Lancaster. "Willey Williford" was a member of

Friendship Baptist Church in October 1802. In 1810 Polly and Willis were living next door to her father in the Tyger River-James Creek community. They moved to Columbia, TN prior to 1820, but after 1814. In 1806, 1810, and 1814 Willis managed a voting site in Spartanburg Co but is found living at Columbia, TN in 1820 between men who we r e known to live in and o wn b u s i n e s s e s a t Columbia years prior to and after 1820 (Jeremiah Cherry and Pleasant Nelson). Polly and Willis moved west to Calloway Co KY, settling at the southern edge of the county next to Henry Co TN, probably after February 1825; soon prior to then Willis bought land in Giles Co from John English, the husband of their daughter Clarimond. Willis is listed on a Calloway Co tax list in 1833. Polly and Willis kept the f a mil y t ies with their close r el at ives b a c k i n Maury and Giles Counties because news of the Henry and Calloway Co cousins was sometimes in the Pulaski newspapers. Polly died about 1845, and Willis on 6 June 1854 at age 82 in Calloway Co of "conjestion of liver and relaps." He was buried in Green Plain Cemetery near Hazel, KY. His death record shows his parents as "Lucy & Britton Williford" and also says he was a resident of Calloway Co and was born in SC. They had seven childrena. Sarah Young Willeford, b 1806 b.

And another brother, William Lancaster Willeford, lived and taught school for years in Maury Co and younger brother Hardy Willeford lived for years in Giles Co beginning from about 1815. Researching these families is difficult: Willis and Wylie each had the other brother's names, but in reverse order; each of these twin brothers had a son named after the twin uncle; and William L and Willis both had a daughter named Lucy Lancaster Willeford. See the Willeford information following the biography of Wylie Willis Willeford [Y6b] . There are many Willeford and allied names of the generation of Polly's children on the Green Plains Church roster at Paris, TN, dating from 1854. (53,55, 58,59, 91,NY, JE,10iz, 1aeh, 15y, 28nwd) Mary Young [y17a3], daughter of Leonard Young and Magdalena Anna Mary Gross, was born about 1798 in Botetourt Co VA. She married

The YOUNG Families of Early Giles Co TN Jacob Bowers, probably in Franklin Co TN. 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) Mary Young [Y10e1], daughter of Archibald Young Jr and Elizabeth _____, was born in 1817 in Giles Co TN. She married J ames Robinson about 1838, probably in Lincoln Co since her parents were living there in 1830. During her marriage Mary lived in AL, but in 1850 she was then either a widow, or her husband was working in AL and missed the census. He was not found in 1850 in either Hardin Co nor in AL. Mary, then, was living in northeast Hardin Co in District 1 with h e r f i ve c h i l d r e n , a l l bo r n in AL. In 1 8 6 0 i n Wayne Co (next to the northeast corner of Hardin Co), sons John W and William H, both born in AL with ages matching those same sons in 1850, lived with their father James Robinson. James Robinson’s wife was then Lucinda Hunt. Lucinda was born in TN in 1824, so this was not Mary Young using a middle name. James was born in TN in 1822. In addition to these two boys in James’ home in 1860, there were younger children who were also born in AL: Mary E, age 10; Martha J, age 7; and Nancy C, age 5. It would appear that Mary Young had died in the late 1850s, and James Robinson then married Lucinda. With Lucy he had a son James N Robinson, born in KY in 1858. There were no graves found in Hardin Co that appear to be for Mary or her children. Mary children appear to bea. Sarah J Robinson, b 1839 b. Nancy C Robinson, b 1841 c. John W Robinson, b 1844 d.

She married Roland Newton and he died by 1910; in that year Fannie was living with her brother John at Athens, AL. Fannie died in 1932. (15s,46v) Mary Irene Young [Y3a6], daughter of William C Young and Elizabeth Kennedy, was born about 1842 at Bradshaw in Giles Co (age 8 in 1850, 18 in 1860, 26 in 1870). She was evidently unmarried when her father's will was written in Septe mb e r 1 8 6 5 s i nc e he referred to her as a Young, and not by a married name. She married J ohn Columbus Rea in Giles Co on 26 March 1866. Mary, John, and their first daughter lived in District 10 in the summer of 1870. He was born in Giles Co TN on 21 November 1833, son of James Burrell Rea and Sarah K Richey. Mary and her new family moved to Ellis Co TX in the mid1880s since her father’s estate records stated that she lived in Van Zandt Co TX in 1886; she and her family were still in Giles Co in 1881 when their youngest daughter was born. They lived in Oklahoma Territory in 1900. Mary died at Waxahachie, Ellis Co TX on 25 August 1895 and was buried there in the old section of the Waxahachie City Cemetery, so the move to Oklahoma Territory must have been in the late 1890s. In 1910 John C and two of their children lived at Roff, Pontotoc Co OK John said he was married, yet his wife Mary was not in their home. John died 20 March 1919 at Altus, Jackson Co OK. He was buried with Mary in Ellis Co (Block 9, Grid R-4). They are the only two Rea graves in this Cemetery. From his obit published in the Weekly New, Altus, OK on 27 March 1919, page 10, column 5: John served in Company E, 5th Tennessee Regiment, Confederate States Army. He was captured

(NY,N, 15nqrsy,71v) Mary Jane "Mollie" Young [Y1j6], daughter of Archibald Smith Young and Louisa Catherine Abernathy, was born 6 September 1845 at Bradshaw in Giles Co. After her father was killed in 1862, Mollie lived with her sister Adella until at least 1880. Mollie never married and died on 24 November 1896 in TX, probably at Bowie, Montague Co where Adella and Adella’s husband had moved in 1891. Mollie was buried at Bowie in Montague Co TX. (MA,L,VS, 15nqrsy) Mary Jane Young [Y2d10c], daughter of Washington Lafayette Young and Louisa Jane Carter, was born 7 November 1870 at Cincinnati, Washington Co AR, and died 8 December 1947 at Fresno, CA. She was brought back to OK and buried with her husband in Hogan Cemetery at Locust Grove, Mayes Co. She married Aaron R VanBrunt in Washington Co AR on 3 September 1887, and about 1898 they moved to Collin Co TX via a short stay in Indian Territory in 1897. Aaron was born in MO on 16 January 1866, son of Joseph VanBrunt and Lucinda Carpenter. Aaron grew up in Madison Co AR, the county just east of Washington Co. In 1910 they were at Darling, Muskogee Co OK, then at Peggs, Cherokee Co OK in 1920, and at Chouteau, Mayes Co OK in 1930.

Mary Jean Young [Y3a2d10a], daughter of John Benton Young and Amma Marie Davis, was born 17 August 1929 in Wise Co TX. She married a Mr Schroder and died in Alameda Co CA on 5 March 1981. (CAd, 193bf) Mary June Young [y16a2c], daughter of Jacob Young and Mary Lee, was born in 1822 in either Franklin Co or Lincoln Co TN. She married Eli Tripp in Lincoln Co on 24 June 1849. Eli was born in Orange Co NC on 17 October 1807, son of Jonathan Hughston Tripp and Rebecca Snow. This was Eli’s second marriage. The first was on 26 September 1828 with Abby Foster, and by 1849, he had eight children with Abby. All his children were born in TN. In 1840 Eli and his family lived in the same neighborhood where he lived in 1850, and the 1840 home was in the same area of the county (census page 17) where Mary’s family lived (census page 8, out of 103 pages for the county). In 1850, Mary’s parents lived two doors from Eli’s parents, and were next door to Mary and Eli; Eli’s parents lived with him and Mary in 1860. Eli died 4 September 1864 in Lincoln Co. He and Mary had three children by 18601. Permelia F Tripp, b 1850 2. James Tripp, b 1856 3.

She and Jonathan married in NC in 1795. (W,16jknq) Mary Katherine Young [Y1a2b], daughter of Robert Young and Mary Jane Wray, was born 20 September 1842 in Giles Co where she spent her first few years. Sometime in the 1850s her family moved west to McNairy Co. In 1860 Mary was still single. She was not found in the 1870 McNairy census, possibly having married during the 1860s. (57, 15n,13qr) Mary L Young [Y4d5], daughter of John Chumner Young and Ara Katherine Caruthers, was born 29 December 1842 in Giles Co TN (age 18 in 1860). She and her family were not found in TN after 1850. Mary married Isaac N Gray on 6

August 1857, probably in Giles Co, and in 1860 they lived in Tippah Co MS. Ike was born in MS on 18 January 1838. In the mid-1860s they moved to Lamar Co TX (Mary’s father moved to Lamar Co TX in the 1850s). In 1880 Isaac and Mary were in Delta Co TX where they remained past 1900. They were in Borden Co in 1910. Mary died at Snyder, Scurry Co on 10 December 1915 and was buried at Cooper, Delta Co. Scurry Co is about eleven counties west of Delta Co where they lived, so Mary and Isaac must have been visiting son James W who lived at Snyder when she died. Her death certificate is very faded and hard to read. But certain pieces of date information are recognizable: She was born on December 21 or 29, was age unknown years, unknown months, and 19 days old when she died. The 1900 census said she was born in December 1842. The two death certificates listed just before and just after Mary’s were of people who died in December 1915; these death certificates are listed in month and year order, but not necessarily by day of death. Therefore, we must conclude that Mary also died in December 1915. Mary’s death certificate was recorded on 31 December 1915. The doctor last attended to her in mid-December 1915 (on the 10th or the 17th). Her death certificate also said that her parents were "John Young" and "Ara Carother," and said that Mary was still married when she died and was born in TN. The informant for her death certificate was "I N Gray." Death certificates of three of her children stated that their mother was Mary D Young (son John’s death certificate in 1948); Mattie Young (son Eugene’s death certificate in 1959); and Mary Young (daughter Ikie’s death certificate in 1947). But all the informants for these three children’s death certificates were Mary’s grandchildren, and at 33 or more years after Mary’s death. Memories fade. Isaac died 23 August 1916 and was buried in Oaklawn Cemetery at Cooper with Mary. They had eight children, six still alive in 1900 and 1910a. George T Gray, b Jan 1860 b. Ikie May Gray, b Sep 1861 c.

(58, M,Z,15umc) Mary T Young [Y4a], daughter of Thomas Young and Sarah _____, was born in 1802 i n Spartanburg Co SC, but grew up in Maury Co TN. She married John William Holley in Maury Co on 18 October 1819 and lived at Bradshaw in Giles Co where they remained for the rest of their lives. John was born in Spartanburg Co in 1799, son of Nicholas Holley Sr. The Holley family moved to Bradshaw from the J ames Creek-Tyger River community of Spartanburg Co about the same time as Thomas Young's brother John Young, so these families must have known each other in SC. In 1830 in Giles Co there were five Holley families (spelled Holly without the E): A Holly, Jno Holly (census page 161), Wm Holly, Nicholas Holly Sr (John’s father) and Nicholas Holly Jr (these two lived next to each other in 1820 and 1830). Of all these Holley families, only John, Nicholas Jr, and William had sons who were of age to be Thomas R Holley, Mary T Young's eldest son. John’s family in 1830 had six children; four boys and two girls. In 1840 in Giles Co they were on census page 112. John W Holley died in the 1870s and M a r y li ve d int o t h e 1 8 8 0 s .

He m ay h a v e been a brother of John William Holley and son of Nicholas Holley Sr (1755). David Holley’s youngest son, W illiam H Holley, lived in the Lynnville area in 1870. In 1800 in Spartanburg Co SC, Nicholas Holley lived a few doors from Thomas S Young’s family. His probable son David was married and lived in Lincoln Co in 1830 (there was also a W illiam Holley family close by). David was born in the 1790s, as was his wife. By then they had six children born between 1816 to 1830, indicating that they m arried by the m id-1810s. There were no Holley families in Lincoln Co in 1820, but Giles Co had two Nicholas Holley families (Sr and Jr).

Nicholas Holley Sr was born in 1755 and Nicholas Jr was born in 1795, both in Spartanburg Co SC. Both of these Nicholas Holley families lived next to each other in eastern Giles Co in 1820 and 1830, and moved to Calloway Co KY in the 1840s, after 1842 and lived there in 1850.

Matthew Young [Y1j4g1a2] is a son of James Michael Young. (MA) Matthew Joseph Young [Y9c3c1g], son of Jerry Rowan Young and Patricia Margaret Ellis, was born at Culver City, Los Angeles Co CA on 14 November 1950. He spent the majority of his childhood at Bakersfield, and is a college graduate with degrees in Psychology and Electrical Engineering, and a masters degree in Applied Mathematics. When Matt was about age 13, his mother married Bob Robertson from San Rafael, CA (north of San Francisco). His mother thought Matt could benefit from summer school math classes at the military academy where her new husband was a teacher, so for the summer just before Matt was to enter the 8th grade, he was entered into summer school at Mr Robertson's school. But that school had no math classes available for Matt's abilities. Instead, Mr Robertson arranged for Matt to attend the local city college and take calculus. He would have to ride across town on the public bus for this. Matt arrived the day before classes were to begin, in order to enroll, and the college's office sent Matt to the math teacher's class room in order to

get Matt assigned to that class. When Matt arrived, he introduced himself and showed his necessary acceptance for summer classes. Then Matt asked the teacher if he could just take the exam for the first semester, right then. The teacher explained that if he did that, he would get the grade he received on the exam, with no chance to erase a bad grade by actually taking the class later. Matt said "Ok" and took the teacher's exam. He received an A grade. Then when the teacher told him the grade, Matt asked if he could then take the next exam, for the next semester of calculus. The teacher, now amazed at this 13 year old middle school boy, quickly made up an exam for the 2nd semester of calculus, and Matt took that exam. After his second A grade, Matt then went back to the military academy and told his mother that he didn't need to go across town for school that summer. Years later, Matt was the mathematician to help design President Reagan's "Star Wars" anti-missile program, which helped end the Cold War with Russia. In addition, when home computers were first starting to be popular and connect to the internet, Matt was the programmer who wrote the first programs to allow browsing the Internet.

(73,L,46uc) Nancy Young, daughter of John Young Sr of the Pacolet River community of Spartanburg Co, was born before 1790 and married William Foster by 1807. In 1814 they were living in Spartanburg Co. There were two William Foster men; Major William Foster lived at Fairforest and William Foster Jr lived along the Tyger River in the summer of 1795. In the 1790 cens us bot h men appeared to be living in the Pacolet River area, close to the plantation of Nancy's brother and many Wood families, and were just three doors apart. The 1790 census indicates that the younger Foster was born in the 1760s. Both men appear to be married, and each had many children. (NY, 1azy) Nancy Young [Y5g], daughter of Thomas Young and Mary _____, was born in the 1790s in Spartanburg Co SC. She was named in her father's February 1813 will (as a Young) in Lincoln Co TN. This is the only record of her, so she may have married after February 1813, probably in Lincoln Co. In 1820 two girls of Nancy's age were living with Nancy's widowed mother in Lincoln Co. (NY,16wi) Nancy Young [Y7] was born in 1795 in VA. Her parentage is not known, but since the only

1065

other Young families of early Giles Co TN who were from VA were the younger six children of Archibald E Young [Y10], Nancy's ancestry may be connected with these families. Archibald E Young's son Pendleton Young [Y10b] was born in 1774, so could have been Nancy's father; the name of Pendleton's wife is unknown. Also, family tradition says that Nancy had a brother who fought in the War of 1812. In any case, Nancy married William Daniel Tenery about 1813, probably in Giles Co. He was born in 1789 in Frederick Co VA, son of William Tenery and Sarah Bellwood. Pre-1850 census records of Giles Co do not give mu c h d ef i n i t e i n f o r ma t i o n o n e x a c t l y whe r e Nancy and William lived. It was often the case that the newly married couple lived close to the bride's parents. All that can be determined from these early census records is that Nancy and William lived at the east side of the county as did the Bradshaw Young families, and the Archibald E Young families. According to descendant, Jean E Brewer [Y7g1a1a], Nancy and William lived near the head of Buchanan Creek. Nancy died about 1833, probably in Giles Co since William remarried and his children continued to be found in the county. She had eight childrena. Nancy M Tenery, b 1814 b.

family there in 1800, living a few doors from Nancy's older Young relatives). Nancy and William lived at Bradshaw until they moved to Young Co TX around 1857. Family tradition handed down says that there was hatred between this Kennedy family and the neighboring McCanless family (see the biography of Archibald Smith Young [Y1j]). One of the McCanless men blinded one of William Kennedy's eyes, and so William's son J osephus killed that McCanless man. The sheriff was good friends with the Kennedy family, and he told Josephus to leave the state and nothing would be done. Josephus therefore moved to TX. Nancy and William are found in the 1860 census of Young Co TX. They probably died in TX or in AR where their youngest son had lived, although their graves have never been found.

She married James M Fuller, a farmer, on 3 January 1837. He was born in NC in 1807 (born in TN per 1870 census). They apparently had marital problems, for divorce proceedings were begun about December 1839. This divorce was not carried through since they were still together in 1840 and 1850, living at Bradshaw next door to Nancy's brother Archibald Smith Young [Y1j]. In the mid-1850s Nancy, James, and their children moved to Fishing River, Ray Co MO. He was a carpenter there in 1860, but was a farmer in 1880. By 1850 they had six children, then two more by 18601.

She married Ausburn Rowland Moore in Giles Co on 1 January 1861 and nine years and four children later she and her family moved to TX, first to Hopkins Co, then to Lamar Co, and by 1879 to Red River Co where they remained. Evidently they made a trip to, or possibly tried to make a new home at Hot Springs Co AR about 1876 because one of their children was born there. When in Giles Co they lived in the Brick Church area. Ausburn was born at Brick Church on 11 January 1839, fourth child of Ausburn Rogers Moo r e and Nancy Chiles. Ausburn served four years in the Confederate Army, and from the ages of his children, he was stationed close to Nancy during his tour of duty.

He grew up in Giles Co and on 19 October 1861 enlisted on the Confederate side with his brother Nathaniel. Napoleon was captured at Fort Donelson on 16 February 1862 and sent to Fort Morton, IN. On 11 September 1862 he was transferred to Vicksburg, MS to be traded for Union prisoners; on 1 May 1865 at the close of the Civil War he and his brother were released from service at Greensboro, NC. Even though he was a private when discharged, Pole had attained the rank of sergeant. He was wounded in the left foot. About 1865 he married his cousin Martha Jane "Mattie" Kosier [Y6c3b]. She was born at Old Lynnville on 24 January 1848, daughter of Mary Ann English and Daniel Kosier. For the first five years or so Pole and Mattie lived in Lincoln Co but for most of the remainder of their lives they lived a short distance north of Bradshaw where he wa s a f ar mer.

daughter of Louis Riggs Harwell and Ruth Storey, and for years they have lived at Nashville. Nathan is an engineer and executive vice president of a corporation at Nashville. Marjorie was born 7 July 1927 at Cornersville, TN and attended college at Columbia, MO. There were two children from this marriagea. Thomas Michael Young, b 28 Jul 1953 b. Patricia Ruth Young, b 25 Oct 1955 (GE, MA) Nathaniel Young [y1a], son of William Young Senr and an unknown mother, was born about 1750. His birth date is just an estimate since he was likely age 21 or older when he married, and had a son born in 1774. Therefore, Nathaniel’s birth year was in the early 1750s, or before. He spent most of his adult life in 96 District of South Carolina Colony in what would become Spartanburg Co in 1785, and probably in Union C o s i n c e i t w a s j u s t a s h o r t r id e t o t h e e a s t . Nathaniel married Patty Crawford about 1773 and they lived along the James Creek branch of the Tyger River. Nathaniel was on the British side during the Revolution. There were only two men named Nathaniel or Nathan Young living in South Car o l i na Co l o n y i n t h e s e ye ar s . Na t h a n wa s granted land in the colony in future Abbeville Co south of Spartanburg Co from 1767, and in 1784 for service performed in the Militia; a British sympathizer would not have been granted government land after the war. There was a Lieutenant Nathaniel Young of the Spartanburg area named as a member of Major Zachariah Gibbs' Loyalist Regiment (English) for the last six months of 1780. Some of the other members of this roster were Captain William Young (a Major in 1782), Captain Benjamin Wofford (he moved north after the War), Private Nicholas Holley (no doubt the ancestor of the Holley families of Giles Co TN), George Crawford (who owned land along James Creek, the north west corner of which belonged to John A Young [Y1], son of Nathaniel, in 1808; see below), and others known to have homes in the Tyger River-James Creek community. A 22 May 1783 list by Continental Commander Colonel Benjamin Roebuck of the men who sided with the British and who were members of the Spartanburg Regiment shows that William Young, Benjamin Wofford, and Nicholas Holley were alive then, while Nathaniel was dead, having died in the line of duty. In March 1787 his widow, as administrator of Nathaniel's estate, was sued in the Spa r t a n b u r g Co c o urts by J ohn La n gs t o n f o r Nathaniel's debts. In 1790 Patty was living two doors from Nathaniel's brother Richard, with her

children. In 1800 she was not found, so could have remarried or been living in the household of a relative. Sixty six acres of James Creek-Tyger River land was sold by William Young Senr's grandson John Archibald Young [Y1] son of Nathaniel, on 23 December 1808 in which the land was described as being "at the north west corner of a tract of two hundred acres originally granted to George Crawford beginning at said corner on a hickory tree near James Creek." This 200 acres was part of Crawford's land obtained in the 1760s after 1764. Since at most only one generation had gone by before Nathaniel took title and passed it to John, Nathaniel must have obtained the 200 acres from George Crawford himself. It would be very likely that Nathaniel was George Crawford's son-in-law. T he given name of "George" in the Young families of James Creek is only found in the name of Nathaniel's grandson, son of Nathaniel Young Jr [Y2]. It should be noted, though, that the new U.S. government systematically "escheated" land from those who fought on the British side during the Revolution. Since George Crawford would have fallen into this category, his property may have been bought in government auctions by his Continental sympathizing neighbors after the war ended. Nathaniel's relatives (Richard Young? Will i a m Yo u ng Se n r ?) ma y h a ve b o u gh t Ge o r ge C r a w f o r d 's e s c h e a t e d l a n d i n a g o ve r n me n t auction and passed it to Nathaniel's children. Or it may have been Nathaniel's and George's land which were both escheated, and bought and then passed back to Nathaniel's heirs. There are no records to show this, but these kind of events were common. Since William Young Senr's will does not mention Nathaniel, Patty, or Nathaniel's children, William may have already provided land for Nathaniel before the will was written, and then there was no need to mention Nathaniel by name in the will. It was common in wills of the pre-20th Century to not provide for the eldest children in the parents' will because the older children had already received their inheritance upon reaching adulthood and / or upon getting married. The 1790 census indicates that there were only six children in Patty's household, but could easily have a seventh who was old enough to have moved from his parents' home by 1790. There are many deed records of the early 19th Century in which a William Young was a witness. It would be expected that Nathaniel would name a son after his father, so it is here assumed that the unexplained William was Nathaniel's eldest child.

The above George Cra wf ord is also listed as a member of those Loyalists who went to Orangeburg, SC with Lieutenant Colonel John H Cruger after the evacuation of Fort Ninety Six, and received six months pay for the latter half of 1780. There were other Crawford men and women listed as Loyalists in SC. In 1768 George Washington, and Captain William Crawford of SC who had a c c o m p a n i e d Wa s h i n gt o n o n t h e e x p e d i t i o n against Fort Duquesne in PA ten years earlier, set out to buy up large tracts of land in the Pennsylvania Colony. Any relationship between both of these Crawford men is unknown. The Orange Co VA Order Book 2, on 24 Jul 1740 (Page 211), states that Patrick Crawford made oath that he, Ann, James, George, Margaret, and Mary Crawford came from Ireland to Philadelphia, and then came to Virginia Colony. It is not known if there is any connection between the George Crawford just mentioned and the George Crawford of Orangeburg who had land along James Creek in Spartanburg Co. There are probate records dated 11 June 1785 in Abbeville Co SC, in which a George Crawford's estate is involved. In these records are named Sarah Crawford (the widow?), Richard Nalley, and Abednego Green as administrators. Appraisers of the estate were Joseph Wofford, Thomas Young, and two others. A Joseph Wofford was a witness to a land purchase between Bezin Holland and wife Mary to Richard Young in Spartanburg Co in December 1796; Benjamin Wofford lived close to Richard in 1790.

Nathaniel Young [Y2], son of Nathaniel Young and Patty Crawford, was born in 1777 in 96 District SC, in what would become Spartanburg Co in 1785. He was about five or six years old when his father was killed in the Revolution, and apparently grew up under the guidance of his uncle Richard Young, who live two doors away. Nathaniel is first found in Spartanburg Co when he was chosen to serve on jury duty, in July 1798; this would then place his birth date by July 1777 since he had to be twenty one years old to be chosen. In 1800 he was living close to Francis Beard, Millington Smith, Nicholas Holley, and Edward Smith; this was the James Creek-Tyger River community at the eastern edge of the county wh e r e the Tyger River cross e s e a s t wa r d i n t o Union Co. Near the end of the 1790s he had married his cousin Jemima Young [Y5a]. She was born in 1777 in the same area as Nathaniel, daughter of Nathaniel's uncle Thomas Young and Mary ____. About 1805 Nathaniel, Jemima, and their children moved to Greene Lick Creek in Maury Co TN, about eight miles west of Columbia on the south side of the Duck River; his brother Joseph moved soon afterwards, for in December 1808 they were part of a team to lay out a road near Columbia, a job they completed by the following May. In March 1810 the Maury court ordered Nathaniel and J oseph Young (and others) "to view, mark and lay out the road formerly ordered t o Gr if fi n's Fe rr y an d ma ke re p o r t ." In 1 8 1 4 Nathaniel was commissioned as a Captain in the 51st Regiment along the Duck River near Suck Island. Prior to 1812 he and others (Thomas Hudspeth, Aaron Smith, Joseph Choate, Valentine Pauley, Jesse Radford, William Pillow, etc) petitioned the Maury Court for the establishment of a ferry at Suck Island, so they probably all lived in the area. In 1817 there was a movement to discontinue the road to the Suck Island crossing, but residents nearby petitioned the courts to keep the

road open. Of those signing, Nathaniel was one. In 1831 he was a Trustee of the Concord Meeting House in Maury Co. On 18 April 1845 Nathaniel wrote his will, which was proven on 25 September 1848. His will was witnessed by sons William I Young and George W Young. Jemima died in the 1860s in Hickman Co probably at the home of her son George, with whom she was living in the 1850s and 1860s.

Since it was generally helpful for survival and prosperity for families to live in groups where they can help each other, then this implies that the members of each of the two larger groups were all related to others of that group.

Nathaniel Young [Y1a], son of John Archibald Young and Nancy Smith, was born about 1794 in the James Creek-Tyger River community of Spartanburg Co SC. He was a teen when his parents moved the family to Beech Hill in eastern Giles Co TN, where he reached adulthood and owned his first property. In the latter years of the 1810s, and through the first of the 1820s, Nathaniel sold his farmland at or near Beech Hill and moved to Pulaski where he became a business man with James Perry (the county's first sheriff in 1825), and was a county constable. He apparently fared poorly in business, as he and James were quite often sued for unpaid debts. In August 1822 Nathaniel bought a brick house at the northeast corner of Pulaski from Fountain Lester. And in February 1823 he bought the corner lot "being the tavern lot and formerly the property of Thomas Smith," on the north side of the public square at Pulaski. In November 1825, and on many other dates, he was granted an "ordinary license" (liquor license) for one year, so apparently ran one of the first saloons at Pulaski. He sold the tavern to William C Flournoy in the following August. Nathaniel Young and Albert C Underwood were given the s h a r e o f J o h n C Un de rwood's inheritance of the estate of the late George Underwood, who died on 26 August 1824 (Giles Co deed book F, page 414). What connection Nathaniel had with John C Underwood is not known, but t h i s c o u l d h a ve b e e n a d e b t o we d b y J ohn t o Nathaniel and Albert, and repaid when George Underwood's estate was passed to John.

Polly Caroline Young, b 1816-1820 4. Nancy L Young, b 1819 5. Margaret Young, b 1821-1825 6. Felix G Young, b 3 Jan 1824 (56,57,N, 15ijwyz) Nathaniel Young Jr [Y2e], son of Nathaniel Young and Jemima Young [Y5a], was born 16 September 1807 in Maury Co TN along Greene Lick Creek. He grew up south of Williamsport and lived along the Duck River a few miles west of Columbia, but in later years lived in Hickman Co. Nathaniel married Elizabeth Anderson by 1830. She was born in TN on 17 June 1811, daughter of Robert Anderson and Jane Shinn, and died 8 January 1874. She was buried in Old Anderson Cemetery along the Duck River in Hickman Co. After Elizabeth died Nathaniel married Mary E Wadkins on 28 November 1875 in Hickman Co. She was born in TN in 1847. There is little information on N a t h a n i e l , a n d t h e c e n s u s r e c o r d s g i ve f e w answers. In 1880 there were three young children using the family name Young living with Nathaniel and Mary; the elder one Floyd (spelled Floid) was born in 1872, three years prior to Nathaniel’s marriage with Mary E Wadkins. He could not have been Elizabeth Anderson’s son since she would have been age 61 when he was born. Hence, he may have been Mary Wadkin’s son from her prior marriage in Hickman Co to John E Loftin on 15 April 1869. In 1900 Nathaniel was a widower living with his nephew Nathaniel Young [Y2e]. Nathaniel Jr died soon afterwards in Hickman Co. His apparent children were1. Jemima Young, b 1836 2. Mary Elizabeth Young, b 1849 3. Leonidas Young, b 1876 4. John Young, b 1879 There were other Young families in Hickman and Maury Counties at the time, from KY and from PA.

Mary E Wadkins and her first husband John Loftin lived in Hickman Co in 1870; he was a mailman, born in 1847 in TN, and they had a son J H Loftin born in early 1870. Their close neighbors were John Wadkins (born 1815 in NC) and his many children aged from 27 to 1. Apparently this was Mary E Wadkins’ widowed father and siblings. Robert Anderson was born in 1774, and died 11 Dec 1861; he was buried in Old Anderson Cemetery in Hickman Co. Jane Shinn was born 2 Nov 1775, and died 27 Jun 1837; she was buried in Old Anderson Cemetery.

He and his family were not found in TN in 1860, but were at Canaan, Tippah Co MS. Two apparent younger sisters of Temperence were born in MS, thus indicating that Temperence moved to MS from KY when she was eight years old, and

lived there for about six years until her family moved to Hardeman Co in TN. Monroe was a Civil War Veteran, a Corporal in K Company of the U.S. Army, and was wounded in the eye and fingers.

He was still in the Bethlehem area in 1772 when he was on the Northampton Co tax list (Northampton Co was created from Bucks Co in 1752). After that time Nicholas Young and his family moved south to Arendtsville in western York Co. Nicholas was on the 1800 census of Adams Co at Franklin (Adams Co was created from western York Co in 1800). His was the only Young family at Franklin, but there were seven other Young families in other parts of the county in 1800. In Nicholas’ home in 1800, were Nicholas, age 45 or older, and his wife who was the same age. Also in his home were two males age 25-44, a male and two females age 16-25, a male and female age 10-15, and three granddaughters and a grandson under age 10. Of course, since Nicholas and his wife were born in the 1740s, many of these younger children must have been grandchildren. The only younger people in his home who were of age to be Nicholas’ children w e r e t h os e o l d e r t h a n a g e 1 0 . S i n c e h i s s o n Nicholas married in the early 1790s, and was already living in VA, then the adult males and females in Nicholas’ home must have been other sons or daughters, and their spouses.

She was born in 1740 at Bethlehem, Bucks Co Penn Colony, and also was not found in PA after 1800. There was a Nicholas Young and wife living in Botetourt Co VA in 1810, who were of age to be this Nicholas and wife Anna. They had at least one son, but probably more childrena.

(52b) (52b) Rebecca Young [Y14], daughter of John Young and Elizabeth Andrews of Mecklenburg Co VA and of Williamson Co TN, was born in 1774 in VA. She married Major William John Kyle on 5 August 1799 in Grainger Co TN, lived in Hawkins Co, then moved to Giles Co about 1807. He was born 10 February 1777 at Fincastle, Botetourt Co VA, son of Robert Kyle and Leah Brooks. Major William Kyle probably had a first wife, name unknown, since his eldest son was born in 1795, and John then married Rebecca Young four years later. In 1820 William Kyle and his family were in Giles Co. Of their children shown below, the eldest son Willie B was not with William’s family; he had married and left home by 1820. Daughter Mary was not shown; she died three months before the census. The people in his home in 1820 were: two sons under age 10 (Robert & Absolom); a male age 16-18 (Ambrose or William J); two males age 16-25 (perhaps Wiley & Claiborne or Claiborne & Ambrose); William, age 26-45; and a female age 26-45 (Rebecca). There was an older son not shown; any of the three older sons were of age to be living as farm hands on another farm nearby. William died near Prospect, Giles Co on 23 July 1823; Rebecca died 9 January 1830 and was buried with William in Kyle-Brown Cemetery near Prospect. They had at least six children, plus John William's son with a first wife. All seven children are included herea. Wiley Blount Kyle, b 1795 b. Claiborne John Kyle, b 8 Aug 1800 c.

Absolom Strother Kyle, b 1816 Rebecca was a brother of Ephraim Andrews Young [Y8]. Much of the information of the sons of John Young and Elizabeth Andrews was from the Notable Kyle Family Society of America. John William Kyle’s father Robert Kyle wrote his will in Hawkins Co on 21 Sep 1820, and in it named some children, and also stated: "Item 10th-It is further my desire & wish & I do hereby constitute & appoint my beloved son Absolom Kyle &

my true & trusty friends John Young & William Hord my executors to this my last will & testment & do hereby revoke all others heretofore, by me made." This John Young was the father of Rebecca Young, John William Kyle’s wife. Robert Kyle was born 18 Aug 1739 at Brackey Mills, Tyrone Co Ireland, son of Robert Kyle (1702 Scotland) and Betty Ann Campbell (1704 Ireland), and died 17 Oct 1820 at Rogersville, Hawkins, TN. He married about 1770 in Buckingham Co VA to Leah Brooks. Leah was born 28 Feb 1747 in Brunswick Co VA and died 28 Feb 1832 at Rogersville, Hawkins Co TN. Tennessee the Volunteer State 1769, 1923 printing, Volume 3: HUGH GRAHAM KYLE. W ith the legal and judicial history of Tennessee the name of Kyle has long been associated and in his own career Judge Hugh Graham Kyle is adding new lus ter to an untarnished fam ily r ec or d. In banking and in business circles, too, he has proven his forcefulness and resourcefulness and in public office has given evidence of his loyalty to the highest and best interests of the community. He makes his home at Rogersville, where he was born on the 27th of December, 1849, his parents being Absalom Arthur and Mary Ann (Graham) Kyle. T he ancestral line can be traced back to Robert Kyle, who came from County Tyrone, Ireland, to the new world about the year 1790 and established his home in Hawkins county, Tennessee. He wedded Leah Br ook s and they became parents of a son, whom they called Absalom Kyle and who in turn wedded Barsheba Cobb. This worthy couple became the grandparents of Hugh Graham Kyle. His father, Absalom A. Kyle, a prominent member of the Tennessee bar, held the office of attor ney general f or the first judicial circuit of the state from 1846 until 1854 and was appointed Un i t e d S t a t e s c ollec tor of inter nal and federal revenue for Tenness ee in 1865, occupying the office for two years. Again he was called to serve the public when in 1870 he was made a member of the state constitutional convention and thus in various ways he left the im press of his individuality and ability upon the history of the commonwealth. Note that the father

of this Judge Hugh Graham Kyle was Absalom Arthur Kyle. And Absalom Kyle was named as son in the 1820 will of Robert Kyle. Thus this 1923 history book provides direct evidence that Robert Kyle was from Ireland, and therefore should not be confused with the Robert Kyle who was from Kyle's Ford, Hawkins Co TN. Absolom Arthur Kyle was born 4 Nov 1789 at Rogersville. Hawkins Co TN, and died there on 28 Dec 1854. The Robert Kyle of Kyle's Ford, Hawkins Co TN was born 25 Mar 1751 in Botetourt Co VA, and died 17 Jul 1814 at Kyle's Ford. He married

The YOUNG Families of Early Giles Co TN on 15 Jun 1788 at Fincastle, Botetourt Co VA to Sarah Reynolds / Runnels. Sarah was born 11 Jun 1774 at Jamestown, Augusta Co VA and died 29 Jun 1842 at Kyle's Ford. This couple had ten children. Much of the research for Rebecca Young’s children and grandchildren came from Janice McAlpine and from Source AK. (JA,AK,SS, 56,734m,

second cousin William Taylor Stever [Y19k2f] in Webster Co on 12 January 1893, and they lived in Webster Co. Both fathers gave consent for the marriage because the bride and groom were both under age. Rhoda's line is continued under Willaim's name. Richard Young was a passenger from London to VA on the ship America which depart e d Lo nd o n o n 2 3 J un e 1 63 5 , h ead e d f o r th e Virginia Colony. Richard was 31 years old at the time; hence he was born about 1604. (88) Richard Young [y1e], son of William Young Senr and an unknown mother, was born about 1755 and was named in his father's 31 March 1787 will. (Refer to the information given under Richard's brothers Thomas and William.) By the late 1770s Richard may have married since he was shown in the 1790 census with two females in the household. If so, there is no hard evidence that there were any children from this marriage. The extra people in Richard's house could have just as likely been some of the children of his late brother Nathaniel, one nephew being William. About 1783 Richard married Isobel _____ (Crawford? See th e Cr a wf o r d s t o r y f o l l o wi n g Na t h a n i e l Young, son of William Young Senr). Any information on the first wife, if there was one, has n o t b ee n fo u nd. Isobel was born abo u t 1 7 7 1 . There was a Richard Young who served in the Continental Militia under Colonel Brandon after the fall of Charleston in 1780. Since Richard was the only Young with that name in Colonel Br a n d on 's a r e a o f co mma n d, h e mu s t b y o u r subject. On a deed dated 27 April 1795 Richard witnessed a purchase of two tracts on Dutchman Creek north of Tyger River by Buckner Smith from Jesse Christian and wife Rachael. On a 24 February 1809 deed Richard's wife Isobel was named when he sold 50 acres to Reuben Newman, land on the south side of and bordering the Tyger River, and "being part of a tract of land granted to Benjamin Wofford," land next to that already o w n ed b y Ne wma n ; wit ne s se s we r e W i l l i a m Young (a nephew?, son of his brother Nathaniel?) and Willis Willeford (Richard's son-in-law). On 17 March 1812 Richard (and William) again were witnesses, this time for the sale of 66 acres on J a me s C r e e k f r o m A r c h i b a l d S mi t h t o Is a e l Beeson. And on 14 September 1815 Richard and Isobel gave to their "beloved son-in-law Willis Willeford and our daughter Polly Willeford his wife" 100 acres, "being part of two tracts of land one granted to Benjamin Wofford and the other to Joshua Smith lying on the south side of Tyger

River" near Anthony Shand's field; witnesses were William Young and Thomas Young. Part of this land was purchased from Owen Forester in 1796. These land deed records can leave no doubt as to where in Spartanburg Co Richard lived. The distance from where James Creek and Tyger River meet, and moving northeast to Dutchman Creek, is no more than five miles on horseback. In 1790 Richard was living two doors from Patty, the widow of his brother Nathaniel, and four doors from his brother Thomas; Reuben Newman lived t h r e e d o o r s o n t h e o t h e r s i d e o f Na t h a n i e l 's widow. Richard died in Spartanburg Co on 14 November 1837 leaving a large estate and over two dozen slaves, and a will dated 29 April 1834. In the will he gave to "my Son William Anthony Yo u n g al l my Es t a t e Bo t h Real and pe r s on a l Expting Henry & Nelly" and gave to "my oldest Son Thomas Young my servant henry." He also g a v e t o h i s " D a u g h t e r P o l l e y W e l l e f o r d my servant Nelly." Son William A Young was named as executor. The will was quite short, and there were no implications that there may have been a first wife or other children. The death date is kn o wn fr o m a p a p er d at ed 5 De c emb e r 1 8 3 7 wr i t t en b y h i s s o n W il l iam A Yo u n g t o a M r Bomer in which William says "I want you to send me sitatons By the Boy my farther died one fourt e e nt h of No v e mb e r La s t wh i c h I a m Le f t t o manage the fares". etc. Richard served on the American side in the War of Independence in Colonel Brandon's Regiment. Since it was the policy of the new U.S. government to repay its soldiers for their service in the defense of the Continental side in the War by granting the veterans government land, or by granting them escheated land (land taken from the British sympathizers), Richard may have obtained much of his land holdings in this manner. His neighbor Reuben Newman was an appraiser for the estate, and son William was the administrator. Richard had three probable children1. Mary Young, b c1786 [Y6] 2. Thomas Young, b 1797 3. William Anthony Young, b 1809 Archibald Smith was a son of the above John Buckner Smith and a brother of Nancy Smith who married Richard's nephew John Archibald Young [Y1]. Arch bought the 66 acres from John Young on 23 December 1808 just before John and his family moved to Giles Co TN. The James Creek land in that sale was described as being "at the north west corner of a tract of two hundred acres originally granted to George Crawford." The 1808 deed was witnessed by John Holley and

The YOUNG Families of Early Giles Co TN Buckner Smith. Neither Smith men could sign their names. Soon after Arch sold the 66 acres in March 1812, he moved to Giles Co settling on land just north of and bordering John Young. (JE, NY, 1waehizpy) Richard Young [Y2c], son of Nathaniel Young and Jemima Young [Y5a], was born about 1803 i n the J ames Creek-Tyger River area of Spartanburg Co SC. He was only a baby when his family moved to Maury Co TN, where he grew up. On 26 July 1821 Richard married Pernicia George in Maury Co. She was born in KY in 1803. In 1820 there are only two George families listed in Maury Co: Jonathan and Hezekiah George. The household of Jonathan appears to be Jonathan, a w i f e o f Pe r n i c i a's a ge , an d a yo u n g s o n ; t h e household of Hezekiah, which is quite close to Richard's home, has a teenage girl who was born between 1806 and 1810. Richard and his family were not found in Maury Co in 1830, so they may have been living with Pernicia's family, but in 1832 they lived along the Green Lick Creek near Columbia until sometime after 1844 when they moved west to Hickman Co where Richard was a f a r m e r .

He named "Mai Young" (his sister Sula?) at Commerce, Scott Co as his nearest relative when he registered for the WW1 draft. Richard worked for the Missouri Pacific Railroad out of Poplar Bluff in 1918. In 1920 he was shown living with his sister Sula at Valle, Jefferson Co, and was then single. He died at Festus, Jefferson Co in October 1975. (W,Z, 30uv,330w) Richard B Young [Y4d4], son of John Chumner Young and Ara Katherine Caruthers, was born about 1841 in Giles Co. He did not show up in the 1840 census, but in 1850 gave his age as 13. Richard was not found in the county or with his family after 1850. (SB, L15knq) Richard Earl Young [Y2d4e2], son of George W Young and Dora Alice Cave, was born 27 February 1898 at McKinney, Collin Co TX. In 1910 he lived in Concho Co.

(GY) Richard L Young [Y2d4b], son of William J Young and Nancy E Shields, was born in 1865 in Washington Co AR. He was daughter R L Young, age 5 in the 1870 census and was not with her family in 1880. Instead, R L was son Richard Yo u n g, a ge 1 6 in 1880 census. Ther e wa s n o Richard Young, born in AR about 1865, found after 1880 on census records. His brothers had moved to TX in the early 1890s, but Richard was not one of the new Young families in Collin Co TX where his brothers were in 1900. There was no grave found for him in Washington Co AR. There is a Washington Co marriage record for a Mr R L Young to Ms N A Malloy on 13 January 1887; the groom was age 22 (born 1865) and the bride was age 16 (born 1871). This must have been Richard. The 1880 Washington Co AR census showed Ms Nancy A Maloy, age 10, one of three daughters of Mrs Lucretia Maloy (1843 AR). There were no other girls in 1880 who could have been Richard's b r id e in 1887. In 1 8 7 0 i n W ash in gt on Co , i n White River Twp where Richard lived, Mrs Lucretia Maloy lived with her husband Thomas (1832 TN). He died in the 1870s. The youngest daughter was N A, age 3/12, born in March 1870. There was also a marriage record for a Richard L Young in Jackson Co AR on 9 July 1884 with Molly W Moon; that marriage record did not give the ages for the couple. Jackson Co is six counties east of Washington Co, so this may be a different person. Washington Co is near the northwest corner of AR. Af t e r t h o s e ma r riage dates, nothing was found for Richard or Nancy.

(Z,56wc) Rufus Knight Young [Y9], son of Amaziah Young and Ann _____ of Providence Co RI, was born 17 April 1795 in Providence Co; he is first found in Giles Co in the 1820 census. The only clues of the parentage of Rufus are that his third child (eldest son) had the name Amaziah; his eldest child was Harriet Knight Young; and the 1850, 1860, 1880, and 1900 census records in

1098

The YOUNG Families of Early Giles Co TN

various TN counties show that Rufus was born in RI. T here was an Amaziah Young living at Cranston Town, Providence Co RI in 1790 with a family of six children. This Amaziah lived among many Knight families. There were many Young families in the county but the Knight families were only at Cranston and at Scituate, with Young families clustered close by. From Cranston to Scituate is about ten miles. In the 1777 military census Rufus Knight (age 16 to 50) lived at Scituate; in the 1790 census there was no Rufus Knight, but there were many Knight families clustered near the Amaziah Young family at Cranston. Circumstantial evidence indicates that Rufus K Young may be a son of Amaziah Young and Ms ____ Knight of Providence Co RI; and family records kept by descendant Albert Young [Y9m3] of St Louis MO states that the father of Rufus K Young was Amaziah and Ann Young from England. Perhaps Rufus' maternal grandfather was the Rufus Knight of the 1777 military census. Fr om information from another Yo u n g cousin, we now know that Rufus’s parents were Amaziah Young and Ann ____ _ (Knight?), who were both probably born in England. Rufus, the son, was age 17 when he enlisted for the War of 1812, on the American side. Seaman Rufus was captured when the ship Ned was defeated on 6 September 1813 by the British ship Royalist, at the Bay of Biscay just off the French coast, and was taken to Dartmoor Prison in London for the 21 month remainder of the war. Rufus entered D a r t mo o r P r i s o n o n 2 7 S e p t e mb e r 1 8 1 3 , a s prisoner #701; his prison records show he was from "the city of Providence." Many of the other prisoners with Rufus, who had prison numbers in the 700 to 721 range, came from Philadelphia, East Haven, NY, etc. Rufus was repatriated from England to France to Providence RI, and was discharged on 16 March 1815. He was released on 29 June 1815, and then went to NY for college. From entrance records at Dartmoor Prison, Rufus Young was described as slight, 5 foot 5½ inches tall. no wounds or marks at age 18. He had blue eyes, an oval face, was fair complected, and had brown hair. Rufus took a position as Principal of a school in Giles Co TN, probably in the late 1810s, where he met his future bride. We do know Rufus K Young married Rebecca Young [Y1e] in Giles Co on 31 March 1820. Her father owned a great number of slaves and he offered to give Rufus and Rebecca two Negro men and one Negro woman for a wedding Present. Rufus would not accept them as he did not believe in slavery. In April 1820 Rufus bought 25 acres from Lewis Smith along

Bradshaw Creek close to Rebecca's uncle Joseph Young [Y3]; this transaction was witnessed by Nathaniel Young [Y1a] and John Young [Y1b], t h u s s i g n i f y i n g t h a t R u f u s a n d Re b e c c a h a d already married since the witnesses were her brothers. Also, Lewis Smith was probably Rebecca's first cousin, if not her mother's brother. In the 1830s Rufus, Rebecca, and their older two children were members of Robertson Fork Church in the northeast corner of Giles Co (now on the Marshall-Giles Co line, j ust off of the Lynnville-Cornersville road). Perhaps by then they had moved the few miles from Bradshaw to the Cornersville area. Rebecca was born 10 July 1802 in Spartanburg Co (in "Spartsburg," per family records) SC, daughter of John Young and Nancy Smith. Rebecca came with her family to Giles Co at the age of six years and grew up at Beech Hill. After she and Rufus married, they lived in Giles Co until sometime after the summer of 1843, for in August that year Rufus witnessed the will of Joseph Knox Sr in Giles Co. In 1850 Rufus and three of his children were living in Hardeman Co TN; in 1860 this couple was still in Hardeman Co. Rufus was a teacher most of his life, but did some farming. He died on 3 February 1870 in Shelby Co probably close to Collierville where they lived. Rebecca died at Collierville on 19 October 1875. They had eleven children, all born in Giles Co TNa.

Robert was in the US Military in 194 6 , s t a t io n e d i n Ger ma n y, and during a furlough, he traveled from Germany to London and obtained the prisoner of war record of Rufus. All the names and birth dates of the eleven children shown above came from the Young family Bible, owned by Henry Clay Young [Y9m]. You must remember that in 1946, that generation was still familiar with family history handed down which told of the origins of this Young family in America, which were of the great grandparent’s generation of those alive in 1946.

The YOUNG Families of Early Giles Co TN Rufus Young’s father Amaziah lived in Scituate RI which (in Amaziah’s generation) was the center of the early Six Principle Baptist Churches. Also, Rufus Knight, Abiathar Young, Asa Young, etc. enrolled during the Revolution in Scituate in the First Rhode Island Regiment. This troop was nearly obliterated in NY. The First Regiment was reconstituted by the addition of large numbers of black freemen and former slaves (the Continental Army had matched the British promise of freedom for enlistment at this time.) (PY, VS,48a,14rsuv, 15iCjkzcp,12nq) Rufus L Young [Y9k], son of Rufus Knight Young and Rebecca Young [Y1e], was born in Giles Co TN on 14 September 1840. He probably died in the 1840s, in either Giles Co or in Hardeman Co. He wasn’t shown with his parents in Hardeman Co in 1850, when he would have been age 10. (PY,JY,9k,12n) Rufus Olear Young, born 5 July 1895 at Durant, Holmes Co MS, son of William R Young (Jun 1861 MS) and Esma _____ (Nov 1870 MS, married in 1889), and died at San Diego, CA on 31 October 1939. He was a resident of Memphis, TN at the time, having a home on Jackson Avenue. He left a widow, Ola Alice _____. Rufus left a will written on 9 November 1929 and probated at Memphis in which he left everything to his wife. Although the name Rufus is not a common name, since his parents were born in MS, then he is likely not a descendant of the sons of Rufus K Young [Y9] who lived in the Collierville, Shelby Co area in the latter part of the 19th Century. He was a barber in 1917 at Binghamton, Shelby Co, but was not married then. (M,14p,699u) Rufus Warren Young [Y2d3d1b], son of John Martin Young and Mary Elizabeth Loftice, was born 28 October 1907 at Rochelle, McCulloch Co TX. He was named after his maternal grandfather. He married Alma Jane Pope in 1929. She was born at Weston, Collin Co on 11 March 1913, and died on 16 December 1993 at Denton, TX. They lived in Collin Co in 1930. Rufus died at Bakersfield, in Kern Co CA on 21 May 1975. (TXd,CAd, Z,W,662v, 150wf) Russell C Young [Y1f1e4], son of Robert Lee Young and Josephine Williams, was born 5 July 1894 in Giles Co TN.

Ruth Young, daughter of Thomas Young Sr of York Co PA and Catherine Brandon, was probably never married. (60, JE,2p) Ruth Young [Y9m5], daughter of Henry Clay Young and Ruth Brooks, was born 10 December 1877 near Collierville, TN. She never married, and died at St Louis MO in January 1978, age 100. Ruth was often called Big Sister by family members. In 1920 she lived with her father and brother Isaac at East St Louis and was the proprietor of a hair dressing salon. In 1930 she lived there with her sister Maud. (PY, Z,14rs,326u, 198wf) Ruth Young [Y3a2g10], daughter of John A Young and Ida Mae Hayter, was born 20 January 1921 in Archer Co TX.

Sally Ann Young [Y12d], daughter of Josiah W Young and Elizabeth Ann Reddell, was born 10 June 1830 in Lawrence Co TN, and was a baby when her family moved to Searcy Co AR. She married Sylvester Taylor in 1848 or early in 1849 in Searcy Co. They lived in Marion Co in 1850, at Prairie, in Marion Co in 1860, Prairie, Boone Co in 1870 and at St Joe, Searcy Co in 1880. Sarah's widowed mother (age 73, born in NC) lived with them in 1880. In 1900 Sally was living with her son George at St Joe. Sylvester was born 13 December 1822 in Madison Co TN, son of Abraham N Taylor and Hannah Rizley. Sylvester died on 24 February 1897 at St J o; Sally Ann died 19 June 1907 at Hillsboro, Hill Co TX. She was buried in Chatt Cemetery in Hill Co. In 1850 Searcy Co where Sylvester and Sally lived, there was only one Mrs Elizabeth Young born in NC. From 1880 census records, we know that Sally's mother was born in NC; but since Sally had married before 1850, we cannot see from pre-1850 census records who her Young parents were. In the 1870 census, Sally's mother lived with her and Sylvester. Hence, a check of the 1850 census and before to see if there were other Elizabeth Young mothers born in NC about 1807 and who lived in the Searcy Co area with a husband in 1850 found just one: Elizabeth who was married to Josiah Young, and who had a daughter named Artamisa. This daughter's name relatively rare, but it came up a generation late with Sally Young's granddaughter. In addition, there were no other women born in NC in the 1805-1809 years and lived in this area of AR who might have a name associated with Elizabeth, such as Bettie, Lizzie, etc. Josiah and Nancy Young lived in Richland Twp in 1850. Sally and Syl ve s te r ma r r i e d i n Se a rc y Co , b u t lived i n neighboring Marion Co in 1850 and 1860 (family #298 in 1860). Sally's parents also lived in Marion Co in 1860 (family #219).

Sam and Elise had no children; he died on 18 November 1969, and Elise died on 28 February 1988, both at Pulaski. The father of Bertha's mother Sarah Adeline Harwell was Raleigh Brown Harwell, born in 1832. The grandfather of Sam Davis Young was Stith Capers Harwell, born in 1847. Stith and Raleigh Harwell were brothers, thus making Elise and Sam second cousins. There are no doubt other c o mmo n a n c e s t o r s s i nc e Eli s e a n d Sa m b o t h descend from two Harwell lines. In addition, the grandmother of Stith and Raleigh Harwell was Nancy Abernathy (born around the 1770s), while Sam's great grandmother on his Young line was Louisa C Abernathy, born in 1816. (58,75,Z,N, MA, 15v) Sam Porter Young [Y9c4h], son of James Thomas Young and Haley Priscilla Odeneal, was born on 16 September 1911 at Savannah, TN and moved to Tyronza, AR when he was six years old. He married Norma Shepard at Marion, Crittenden Co AR on 9 June 1938. Just before they married they were living at Memphis, TN. She was born 10 June 1914. Sam died at nearby West Memphis on 5 January 1975 and was buried in the Tyronza Cemetery. Norma died 15 September 1994 and was also buried in Tyronza Cemetery.

He received one-seventh interest in his father's plantation upon the death of his father, but was a minor at the time. On 22 February 1800 after he and his brother James had became of age,

The YOUNG Families of Early Giles Co TN they sold their two-sevenths of the land to Daniel McKie. The land was located west of William Stone's property and east of Robert Simms' land. It appears that Samuel and his wife lived with his mother in 1810. If it was he in his mother's household, he had no children at the time. (NY,JE,MM, 2hyz, 1pazehy) Major Samuel Young, born between 1774 and 1790 in Spartanburg Co SC, may have been a son of William Young of York Co PA and who moved to Spartanburg Co SC, then to Maury Co TN. (JE,60,2a) Samuel Young, son of Captain William Young of Pittsylvania Co VA, was probably born in Pittsylvania Co in the late 1770s.

In 1910 Saphronia lived at White River next to her son Thomas. Saphronia had two children with William, and ten with Jehu, all at White River, Washington Co AR. In 1910 she stated for the census taker that she had ten children, with seven still living. This may have been correct if her marriage to Jehu Smith was her only marriagea.

Sarah Young, daughter of John Young and Margaret Wood of Loudoun Co V A and 96 District (now Laurens Co) SC, was either unmarried by 1814, or was marri e d t o a M r Yo ung, because her last name was given as "Young" in a deed record then. She was living in Spartanburg Co. (NY,JE, 1aehiwyz)

Sara A Young was a daughter of Christopher Young and Mary "Polly" Humphries of Union Co SC. (60,JE) Sarah Young [Y5d], daughter of Thomas Young and Mary _____, was born 1785 to 1790 in the James Creek-Tyger River area of Spartanburg Co SC.

Sarah Young [Y10g], daughter of Archibald E Young and Sarah Powell, was born 6 March 1797 in Pittsylvania Co VA. She married Archibald F Meadows, and probably lived out her life in the northeastern part of Giles Co TN. She was living in Giles Co in 1850, probably a widow. (JM,15n) Sarah Young [y17a7], daughter of Leonard Young and Magdalena Anna Mary Gross, was born about 1806 in Botetourt Co VA (she was age 44 in 1850, 50 in 1860, 59 in 1870, 79 in 1880). In the 1880 census Sarah gave her parents’ birth places as PA. She married Nelson Salmons in the early 1830s. There was no Nelson Salmons family in TN in 1830, so Sarah could have been living under another name. She probably married earlier than 1830 to another man; there was a son born in the late 1820s or in 1830 who lived with them in 1840 in Marion Co, but not afterwards. Sarah's marriage likely took place in either Franklin Co TN or in neighboring Marion Co. Marriage records for both of these counties no longer exist; the Franklin Co records begin in 1838, and not before the early 20th Century for Marion Co. The court houses in both counties burned and early records were destroyed. Nelson Salmons was born in GA about 1806 (was age 30s in 1840, 45 in 1850, 54 in 1860, 60 in 1870, 77 in 1880). There were no Salmons or Sammons families in Marion Co in 1830, but there was one John Sammons and two James Sammons families in Franklin Co. On census records, Sarah often gave an incorrect age; family records have Sarah’s birth year as 1806. In 1840 they lived in Marion Co TN, the county just east of Franklin Co. Both Sarah and Nelson had ages in the 20s. They were in DeKalb Co AL in 1850 (with their name spelled Sammons); he was age 45 and Sarah was age 44. They were both illiterate, so probably could not correct the spelling for the census taker. In 1860 they lived in Cherokee Co AL; in 1870 and 1880 they were in DeSoto Co MS. They had about eight children, all born in TN, probably all

(N,45b) (N,160b) Thomas Young Sr, son of William Young who had brothers George and Thomas, was born prior to 1730, probably in England since he was an Episcopalian (see the memoirs of Major Thomas Young at the end of this book). He was a child or young man when he came to York Co PA. He may have married in PA to a Miss Kilgore or Gray. In any case, his first wife died after having a son and daughter. Thomas moved to the South Carolina Colony, settling in the part of 96 District where Laurens Co is now, and in 1764 moved up to the part of 96 which became Union Co in 1798.

His will was written 19 May 1777 a n d w a s r e c o r de d 3 Fe b r ua r y 1 7 9 1 i n Un i o n District (the oldest will on file in the county). Therefore, Thomas must have died early in 1791. Witnesses to the will were Thomas Brandon, John Brandon, and William Kennedy. Thomas and his brother-in-law Colonel Thomas Brandon were among the first settlers of the Union Co area of SC; Thomas and his family lived about four miles south of the Union courthouse (which is about fifteen miles east of the Young families of the eastern edge of Spartanburg Co). He was granted 550 a c r e s o n Bu f f alo Creek in J anuary 1785, which he later sold to Colonel Brandon.

His wife was Mary _____, who was also born by 1755. Thomas and his brother Richard each inherited 75 acres along James Creek in their father's 1787 will, and in that will it says that Thomas lived next to the land he was inheriting. On 4 April 1795 William Young and wife Patience _____ of Laurens Co SC sold to Thomas Young of Spartanburg Co a plantation containing one hundred acres in Spartanburg Co "on a Branch of Tyger River called Jamies Creek" and bounded on the east by land of William Young Senr, on the west by land o f G e o rge Cr a wf o r d , a n d va can t l a n d o n t h e remaining sides.

William was se l l i ng hi s ye t t o b e received inheritance. He and Patience both made their mark, being unable to sign. Robert Beard witnessed. A deed of sale of 75 acres "on a branch of Tyger called J ameys Creek" from "Thomas Young Senr" to William Young (Thomas' son) dated 7 October 1809, was witnessed by Richard Young and Sarah Young (Thomas' daughter? or Richard’s wife?). This 75 acres bordered other land Thomas already owned and was "granted to my father William Young Sen by his Excellency Governor Montague in the 7th day of February 1767." He sold these 75 acres along James Creek to a William Young in October 1809. This sale was witnessed by Thomas' brother Richard Young, and by Sarah Young; Sarah was apparently Thomas' daughter. The relation of this William to Thomas or Richard has not been determined since there were quite a few adult men named William Young who lived in the county but probably the William who bought the 75 acres was Thomas' son. In any case, Thomas and most of his family moved to Lincoln Co TN soon afterwards. He died in Lincoln Co, leaving a will there which was written 18 February 1813 and proven on 2 November 1813. This will was witnessed by Woodson Haley and Eli Sanders. In this will, people mentioned were: wife Mary Young, and children William Young, (he was executor), Elizabeth Beard, Mary Beard, Jemima Young, Sally Young, Marjory Young, Nancy Young, Daniel Young, and Franky N Young. Thomas mentioned in his will that four of the daughters were still at home. These would have been eldest daughter Jemima, and her yet unmarried younger sisters Sarah, Marjory, and Nancy. Thomas' wife Mary was still in Lincoln Co in 1820, and living close by was Robert Beard, husband of Mary’s daughter Elizabeth. Mary could not write. They had nine known childrena.

H e g r e w u p i n t h e Un i o n a r e a o f 9 6 District and raised a large family. Thomas married twice, first to Lettie Hughes about 1787, and second to Sarah Cunningham on 10 April 1794. Sarah was up to ten years younger than Thomas, and died 4 March 1845. Thomas died on 7 November 1848. He was buried in the Old Presbyterian Church Cemetery near Monarch Mills, SC. Thomas served with distinction in the Revolutionary War and attained the rank of Major. He wrote of some of his war experiences, which were published in the Orion Magazine in October and November 1843. It is reproduced at the end of this book so that we can appreciate what our forefathers on both sides must have gone through during the Revolution. In it, Thomas mentions his cousin William Young who sided with the British and who offered a hundred guineas to any man who would bring Thomas "into 96." The 96 he was writing about was probably 96 District; Thomas was quite often away from his home area during the war, engaged in battle in NC, in York District (on the east side of Broad River just south of the NC line), and even down "in the low country" at Fort Granby (fifteen miles south of Columbia). After the siege of Fort Ninety Six in June 1781, Thomas returned to his home area. While on a scouting expedition to Mudlick Creek in the south o f Un ion Co (Mudlick Creek crosses the line between Union and Laurens Counties), he ran across his cousin William Young who tried to lure Thomas's party into an ambush; the only damage was to their horses. This William was probably the William who had a plantation along the Enor e e R i v e r a n d wh o h ad p r op e rt y i n t h e W e s t Indies.

Margaret Neil of the Enoree River area along the Spartanburg-Laurens Co line in SC, was born about 1779 in 96 District of SC. He inherited oneseventh of his father's Enoree River plantation in 1788, but because he was not of legal age, had to wait until he and his brothers became adults in order to sell the land. Thomas and his brothers Joseph and John jointly sold their three-sevenths share to Daniel McKie on 13 August 1804. Thomas may have married and moved to Union Co; his older brother Adam is mentioned in the Union Co court records and in Union Co in the 1810 census there were two Thomas Youngs. One was Major Thomas Young (born in 1764), but since Major Young's son Thomas was not an adult by 1810, the second Thomas Young could be the Thomas from the Enoree River area. (NY,JE,MM, 2hyz, 1wzaehy) Thomas Young [Y4], son of Nathaniel Young and Patty Crawford, was born 29 July 1781 in 96 District (soon to become Spartanburg Co) SC. He married Sarah _____ in Spartanburg Co about 1801, and they moved to Columbia, TN by 1818. The Giles Co census of 1850 shows that Thomas' children born by 1817 were born in SC, and the ones born after that date were born in TN. Hence Thomas and his family were the last of the James Creek-Tyger River Young clan to move to TN. In 1820 Thomas and most of his children were living at Columbia, just a few doors from his cousin Polly Young [Y6] and her husband Willis Willeford. Thomas' wife Sarah was born in SC on 23 July 1785. Her parentage is not known. She died at Bradshaw, Giles Co where they lived, on 18 September 1845; Thomas died at Bradshaw on 18 May 1841. Both are buried in Center Point Cemetery at Bradshaw, about two miles southeast of Beech Hill. Thomas' gravestone says "He lived esteemed by all who knew him and died in Christian triumph."

Young and Isobel _____ of the James Creek-Tyger River community of Spartanburg Co SC, was born there about 1797 and remained there the remainder of his life. The 1790 through the 1810 censuses of the county show a male of a generation older than Thomas living with Richard, or living very close to him. In the 1820 census there was no Thomas Young of this age in the county; see the following Thomas Young entry. In September 1815 a Thomas Young witnessed a gift from Richard to Thomas' sister Mary. Richard did name a son Thomas in his 1837 will, so there is no doubt that Richard did have a son of that name. In the 1830 census Thomas first appeared, called "Capt Thomas Young," and was newly married, living quite close to Richard Young. In the 1840, Thomas was the only Thomas Young in Spartanburg Co (age 40s); he lived two doors from William Young (age 20s), and Asa Vise (age 40s) lived between them. In 1850 Thomas was living close to his brother William Anthony Young in Spartanburg Co. Thomas had a wife named Sarah _____ who was born in SC about 1804 (age 30s in 1840 census). Thomas died in the 1860s in Spartanburg Co. Sarah died there in the 1850s. He had six children, all apparently born along J ames Creek in Spartanburg Coa. William H Young, b 1831 b.

The YOUNG Families of Early Giles Co TN Young families in Giles Co, and one in Lincoln Co, but none in Maury Co in 1830. The Thomas in Lincoln Co was born in the 1780s, and had eight daughters by 1830. The one in Giles Co living n e x t d o o r t o Sp e n c e r Yo u n g wa s b o r n i n t h e 1770s. And the other Thomas in Giles Co was born in the 1780s. Hence, none of those three were our subj ect. Thomas A Young’s brother Nathaniel was living in Hickman Co in 1830, but not Thomas. Thomas was not found in 1830, and he was not living with any Joyce family in Maury nor in Hickman Co. Thomas’ family was likely overlooked in the 1830 census (as were his parents), and actually lived in Maury Co. The Thomas A Young in Lawrence Co in 1840 (the county west of Giles Co and southwest of Maury Co) was of age to be the son of Nathaniel and Jemima, but his children in 1840 did not match the known children that Thomas had in 1850. The Thomas Young in Maury Co in 1840 did, and his close neighbors were his parents. Thomas and Martha moved west to Wayne Co TN in the late 1840s where he continued farming with his three older sons. Their neighbors in 1850 were Reuben East and his wife Harriet Young [Y9a]; Harriet was a daughter of Rufus Knight Young and Rebecca Young [Y1e] of Giles Co. Thomas and Martha were at Richland, Washington Co AR in 1860. In that census, children Samuel, Saphrona, Washington, and Richard were still at home, and son William was next door. Hence, this was the same family from the 1850 Wayne Co TN census where these five children lived with their parents Thomas and Martha. The 1860 census, though, incorrectly stated that Thomas was from K Y a n d M a r t h a w a s f r o m N C ; f u r t h e r mo r e , Martha also claimed she was age 48 in 1860 (born 1812). The 1850 census had her age as 47, born in 1803 in TN; Thomas was 45 then, born in 1805). Thomas and Martha were at White River Twp, Washington Co AR in 1870; he was age 67 (born 1803), and Martha was age 61 (born 1809), both born in TN. Their youngest son was the only child in their home in 1870, but sons John and Washington lived next door with their wives and children. After Thomas died in the 1870s, Martha l i ve d n e x t d o o r t o h e r s o n R i c h a r d , a n d h e r grandson John Springston lived with her in 1880 (and in 1870). When she died she was buried in McCord Cemetery at Elkins, Washington Co; her gravestone has no dates, and is very old, but it does say " WIFE OF THOMAS YOUNG ."

Rosanna’s mother was a Choctaw Indian. Over the years, Thomas and Rosanna lived in AL in the 1840s. Thomas enlisted in the army at Bellefonte, J a ckson Co AL in the Fa ll of 1 8 37 , t h e n wa s discharged in May 1838 at Fort Mitchell, AL. For this service, he was granted 80 acres in Maury Co. He lived there in 1850. The three youngest brothers Thomas Kennedy, Peter Barney, and William Carroll Young, sons of John Young and Nancy Adkins, all owned farms in Maury Co, but in 1853 the lands in Missouri were opening up and they decided to take their families and go with o t h e r p i o n e e r s t o n e w l a n d s . In o x e n d r a w n wagons they joined a wagon train and headed for MO. Some of the families stopped along the way a s t h e y f o u n d l a n d t o s u i t t h e m. T h e You n g brothers fina ll y r e a c h ed a p l a c e northeast of Springfield and camped for a while near what is now Marshfield. This was in Greene Co MO in 1853; in 1855 it became Webster Co. Peter Barney and William Carroll chose fertile, tillable land and began to the task of building their homes. Thomas Kennedy decided to go on westward and finally reached where Paynterville (renamed Bear Creek in 1894) had been built near a spring in Cedar Co, two counties to the northwest. He and his family built a log house, broke the new ground for crops, hunted game and fished the nearby streams. Their house was located on the western slopes of the Ozark Mountain range. During the next two years Thomas acquired more land until he owned a large portion of Cedar County. Three generations of descendants of Thomas Kennedy were born and reared on that land, and then finally, sadly gave it up as power and politics took it over in the name of progress. Most of the property is now Stockton Lake. When the Civil War was under way, Thomas and a son were serving in the army, and were not at home when soldiers came to Rosanna's area and burn e d th e i r h o me. Rosanna and the younger children fled to Sevier Co AR. When Thomas r e t u r ne d f ro m t h e wa r , he c ou l d n o t f i n d h i s family. Rosanna died in 1874 in Sevier Co, and soon after several of the younger children (Eliza, Cynthia Emiline, John & James), moved west with their spouses to Indian Territory, Choctaw and McCurtain Counties, and to Lamar Co TX. In the April 1866 estate records of the late Thomas K Young, John Kennedy stated that to the best of his knowledge and belief, the names of the heirs of the said Thos K Young deceased and their places of residence are as follows: Rosannah Young the widow, Sofiah Serels, Wm D Young, John Young, James Young, Eliza Young all in the state of Arkansas and Martha Davidson in Polk

Christopher Young, b a1765 (MM,JE) William Young Senr [y1], of the Tyger River area of southeast central Spartanburg Co SC must have been born by the early 1730s, considering the birth dates of his known children. Where he

1123

was born is unknown, but may have been VA. There are inconclusive pieces of evidence that he, and probably some of his sons, came to James Creek from VA; see Nancy Young [Y7] and Nancy Young [Y5g]. Also, there is a court record from the 18 September 1744 court in King & Queen Co VA whereby certain citizens petitioned the court not to build a bridge over the Rappahannock and Mattiponi Rivers. Two of these petitioners were Henry Crutcher and John Young. The Crutcher name was a well established name with the Young families of Giles Co a century later; see J ohn Crutcher Young [Y1j2] (great-grandson of William Senr) and the numerous other descendants named John C Young of the early and middle 19th Century. William Senr is first found on a Colonial Platt map (Volume 8, Page 560) of 1764 in which he received 150 acres: "Pursuant to a preceipt directed under the hand and seal of the Hon ble Egerton Leigh Esqr Surveyor General dated the Six th day of March 1764 I have measured and laid out unto Will m Young a Plantation or tract of Land in Berkly Co containing one hundred and fifty acres situate lying & being on a Branch of Tygar river on the south side not more than ten Inches Deep and about Eight foot wide called J a mmys Cr e e k a n d i s Bo u n d e d all around o n vacant Land, and hath such shape form and marks as the above platt Represents. Certified this 26 day of July 1764. Edwd Musgrove D.S." About the same time he obtained 300 acres nearby, and 100 more acres bounded on the east by "Wm Young Sen r ," o n t h e we s t b y Ge o rge C r a w f o r d , a n d bounded on the remaining sides by vacant land. Both of William's tracts were a grant (Grant Book AAA, Page 323) from Governor Charles Granville Montague of the South Carolina Colony in which William had to pay the Colonial government 3 shillings sterling, or 4 shillings proclamation money, per 100 acres each following March for two years from 17 February 1767. Also, as part of the grant terms, he had to clear and bring into cultivation three percent of the land each year. Berkeley Co formed in 1683 and later discontinued under that name, became part of Spartanburg Co. It should not be confused with the present Berkeley Co close to the Atlantic coast. William left a 1787 will, portions of which a r e a s f o l l o w s : " In t h e n a m e o f G o d A m e n Whereas I William Young Senr of the state of South Carolina and Spartanburg Co Being infirm in Body". "will that all my Debts and funeral Charges be Paid". "Thirdly I will and Bequeth that my Land be Equally Divid Betwixt my Two sons

"also Do Consent and Appoint my sons Thomas and Richard to be the Sole Executors of this my Last Will and Testament. fourthly I Will and Bequeth that all my Moveable Goods be Divided Equally amongst all the Rest of my Children". "this 31st Day of March one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven." It was signed and sealed by William Young, and was witnessed by James Creek-Tyger River neighbors Millenton "X" Smith and Th oma s "T" Brown (both made their marks). In his will, William did not mention his son William nor William Senr's late son Nathaniel nor Nathaniel's children. The biggest clue that William Senr had children other than those he named in his will are his words in his will which say "all the Rest of my Children" after he carefully named Thomas, Richard, and Mary. It was the custom in this era for the father to give an advance to the inheritance to the older children who had married and left home. And there are other clues of more children: On 4 April 1795 William Young and his wife Patience, of Laurens Co SC, sold to "Thomas Young of Spartanburg Co" for £50 Sterling a 100 acre tract "situate lying and being in Spartanburg Co and State aforesaid on a Branch of Tyger River called Jamies Creek Bounded to the East by land o f W m Yo u n g Se n r , W est b y l a n d o f Ge o r ge Crawford, and all other sides by vacant land at the time of surveying." In this sale to Thomas, it also said William "shall stand siezed of a good sure perfect and indefineable estate of Inheritance in fee simple of and in all the aforesaid plantation or Tract of one Hundred Acres." See the biography of his son Nathaniel Young. On 7 October 1809 Thomas Young sold seventy five acres to Thomas' son William Young. This land was described as " b e i n g p a r t o f a t r a c t of land c o nt a i n i n g o n e hundred fifty acres granted to my father William Young Sen by his Excellency Governor Montagu e" in February 1767 "on a branch of Tyger called Jameys Creek and the south side of said river." Thomas refers to his father as "Senr," thus implying that there was a son William Young Junr. Sixty six acres of the same James Creek-

Tyger River land was sold by William Young Senr's grandson John Archibald Young [Y1], son of Nathaniel, on 23 December 1808 in which the land was described as being "at the northwest corner of a tract of two hundred acres originally granted to George Crawford beginning at said corner on a hickory tree near James Creek." This puts Nathaniel's children next to where William Senr lived. William's wife remains unknown; she probab l y d i e d p r i o r t o W i l l i a m s i n c e h e ma d e n o provisions for her in his will. He must have died soon after March 1787, because at the time he wrote his will William was "infirm in Body." He probably died at his home in the Tyger RiverJames Creek area of Spartanburg Co.

William had a plantation on both s i des of the Enoree River, which was to become in 1785 the boundary line between Spartanburg and Laurens Counties. And on 21 June 1787 "William Young and Margaret his wife" of Union Co sold to Ben Birdma n a n d Cu s h man Edson of Newberry Co 209 acres in Union Co at the fork of the Enoree and Tyger Rivers. (Possibly a Quaker Community; see the South Carolina entry at the beginning of this book.) This land was originally granted to William by "His Excellency Thomas Pinckney Esq., Council & Commander in chief of the state aforsaid by his grant bearing date the Seventh day January 1787." This land was bordered on the south by land of James Townsend, southwest by land of James Hawkin, northwest by land of William Taylor, and east by land of James Hill. The sale was witnessed by Samuel Jones and Luther Smith (both signed). William signed, but his wife Margaret made her "+" mark. William's signature was identical to his signature on his will a few months later. The deed of sale was signed in Laurens Co and recorded in Union Co. It would seem that William sold his holdings which were too far from his home at the meeting point of Spartanburg, Union, and Laurens Counties along the Enoree River. In his will he indicated that some of this land was also along Durban's Creek in Laurens Co. William married Margaret Neil, sister of John O Neil (O'Neill?). In William's will, dated 13 October 1787 and probated 24 September 1788 in Union Co he named his wife and seven children, and his brother-in-law. Jeremiah Moore and Hugh W Williams were witnesses, while William's wife Margaret and Thomas Brandon of Fairforest were executors. (Colonel Thomas Brandon of Union Co was born around the 1730s and died in 1802. He

1125

witnessed the 1777 will of Thomas Young Sr of Union Co. Colonel Brandon had a son named Thomas, but it was likely that the executor of William's will was Thomas Brandon Sr.) William mentioned in his will that he had a debt of £30,000 for an estate in the West Indies, probably on Grenada. He was probably the cousin whom Major Thomas Young spoke of in Major Thomas' memoirs (see at the end of this book), especially since William had an estate in the West Indies, which was British territory at the time, and also since the executor of William's will was Thomas Brandon; the Brandon families were Major Thomas Young's in-laws. William and Margaret lived in an area which had many Quaker families who came to SC from PA. Some of these neighbors were Lamb families, who married the Willefords of the James Creek area of Spartanburg Co. William and Margaret had seven sons1. Samuel Young, b c1772 2. Adam Young, b c1773 3.

And the last will and testament of Henry O'Neill of Spartanburg on 11 January 1815 named his wife Hannah _____ and son John O Neill. This will was recorded exactly one month later. (NY,JE,MM, 1wzaehy, 2hyz) William Young [y1a], son of William Young Senr who left the 31 March 1787 will in Spartanburg Co SC, was born before 1755. He married Patience _____. In the 1790 census (was age 16 and older, with three sons under age 16) he was apparently the William Young who was living a few doors from Shadrack East in Laurens Co. In April 1795 William was living in Laurens Co SC when he sold a tract of Tyger River-James Creek land to his brother Thomas. William could not write, and made his "W" mark on contracts. In 1800 he was still in Laurens Co (living close to Tarleton East). William was over age 45 in that census, and had a son age 16 to 25, another son age 26 to 45, no daughters at home, and William’s wife was about the same age as William’s.

The second William was a close neighbor of John Young, and was age 45 and older with no sons, no wife, and a daughter and granddaughter living with him; neighbor John Young was age 16 to 25 with a wife age 16 to 25, and three children under age 10. The third William Young was a close neighbor of Tom Young (age 26 to 44 with no wife nor children), and was age 26 to 44, with no wife and no children. The second William appears to be our subject, and his wife Patience must have died within the prior ten years. In 1820 in Laurens Co there was just one William Young, and he was a generation younger than the William who married Patience. He and Patience appear to have had five children1. son Young, b 1774-1790 2. dau Young, b by 1790 3. son Young, b 1774-1790 4. dau Young, b by 1790 5. son Young, b 1774-1790 Apparent relatives of the above Shadrack East can be found in 1850 in Giles Co TN, and afterwards in AR and MO in the counties close to the meeting point of the two states and the Mississippi River. (65,JE,NY,JY, 1zy, 3aehz) William "Captain Billy" Young, son of John Young Sr and Margaret Wood of the Pacolet River area of Spartanburg Co, was born 21 July 1759 in Loudoun Co VA. William was the first sheriff of Spartanburg Co having been appointed at the newly formed Co's second session in June 1785. In March 1787 his term ended, but he was still referred to as an "Esquire" until at least 1790. William married Mary Salmon, probably the sister of the spouses of William's brother and sister John Y o u n g J r a n d E l i z a b e t h Y o u n g ; E l i z a b e t h 's husband was the county clerk, George Salmon. Mary was born in 1775 and died in 1847. William no doubt received his "Captain Billy" title in the Revolutionary War. In the 1798 court records, he was still living along the Pacolet River where he had lived for about twenty years. He may have lived in Greenville Co for a short while in 1790 prior to his marriage; there was a William Young in that Co in the 1790 census, living alone. If he and his wife were in Spartanburg Co in 1800, they must have been living on the farm with his parents since William's name did not appear in the 1800 census. He moved to Greenville Co soon after 1798. William sold 1,130 acres on the Pacolet River to his father, "land where John Young Sr lives," on 21 March 1807. William wrote a will which was probated 4 December 1826 in Greenville Co and the Greenville Republican on 18

November 1826 told of his death. Other sources state his death as being 7 December 1829. Since a date from clear newsprint, although quite old, is very readable while a date from a faded bible record and / or eroded gravestone can easily be in error, the likely death date for William would be 7 November 1826. He died in Greenville Co and was buried at Stone House at Pleasantburg. His twelve children were1. Ezekiel W Young 2. William H Young, b 1796 3. Robert M Young, b c1798 4. Julieth G Young, b 1802 5.

Wallace Harry Young, b 1820 (NY,JE, 1ywz,4a) William Young, probable son of Nathaniel Young of the James Creek-Tyger River neighborhood of Spartanburg Co SC, was born in the early 1770s. In 1800 William was living four doors from his brother John and was married. His wife was probably Sarah _____, who was born about the same time as William. On 22 August 1814 the will of Richard Chesney (who lived two doors from Richard Young and four doors from William's widowed mother Patty) named Chesney's wife Esther and named executors wife Esther and "friend" William Young and witness Richard Young. The term "friend" when writing wills of two hundred years ago often meant a relative such as an in-law or cousin. And the will of John Leatherwood, recorded 13 December 1820, named children James, Isaac, Elizabeth, Jane, Nancy, John B, Spencer, William, Miles, and grandson Nathaniel, son of Jesse. John B Leatherwood and William Young were the executors; witnesses were William Young, Joseph Barnett, and James Ho b b y. W i t h s o ma n y f a mi l i a r Yo u n g gi ve n names, it would appear that there was a close connection between John Leatherwood and William Young. In 1800 William had a boy and girl under the age of ten, implying that He and Sarah were married in the 1790s. In 1810 he and his family lived next door to Archibald Smith, the brother-in-law of his brother John. On 7 October 1809 there was a land sale from Thomas Young Senr (son of William Young Senr and brother of Nathaniel) to William Young, both of Spartanburg Co. The land

The YOUNG Families of Early Giles Co TN sale was for 75 acres on "Jameys Creek" next to Richard Young, and was half of a 150 acre tract originally granted to William Young Senr in Febr u ar y 1 7 6 7 b y Go v e r n o r M o n t a gu e . Ri c h ar d Young (William's uncle and Thomas' brother) and Sa r ah Young (assumed to be Will i a m's wi f e ) witnessed the sale. There William Young and his wife, both born in the 1770s, lived in Spartanburg Co in 1840. By 1810 William had three children1. girl Young, b 1795-1800 2. boy (Thomas?) Young, b 1795-1800 3. girl Young b 1801-1810 The 1790 census of Spartanburg Co shows a Frances Claton as head of her household, and living next to William's widowed mother Patty. Frances had two males over the age of sixteen living with her. These men could be her sons, but also, one of them could be William. If William had married a daughter of his Claton neighbors, he may have lived in their home soon after his marriage. This was very common then, especially if the motherin-l a w wa s a widow with a farm to run. (NY, 1aehz) William Young, son of William Young and Margaret Neil of the Enoree River area along the Spartanburg-Laurens Co line in SC, was born about 1774; see Adam Young, William's brother. (NY,JE,MM, 1wzaehy, 2hyz) William Young [Y5e], son of Thomas Young and Mary _____, was born about 1787 in Spartanburg Co SC. He married Mary _____, who was born in SC in 1793. In the summer of 1850 in Lincoln Co TN there were three young adults living with him who could be his children, and census records in the county from 1820 to 1840 also indicate that he had more than three children.

William Young [Y1d], son of John Archibald Young and Nancy Smith. was born about 1801 in Spartanburg Co SC. He was about 7 or 8 years old when his family moved to the Beech Hill area of the new Giles Co in the early months of 1809. He married Allie (Ala? Aley?) _____ about 1829 in Giles Co TN. In 1830 they were not found, but were probably living with Alie's family in Giles Co. William died about 1849, probably in Marshall Co; Alie and her children lived there in 1850. There is no actual proof, such as a will or land gift records, to show that William was a son of J ohn and Nancy, but there is substantial evidence that William was a son of John A Young and Nancy Smith: a son of William's approximate age was shown in the 1820 Giles Co census, and in 1840 he lived next door to his widowed stepmother and brother Alexander. Also, in the 1840 census, he had children who's sex and ages exactly matched the children from the 1850 census who were born by 1840. And of all the counties surrounding Giles Co, all had existing marriage records well into the 20th Century, except for Giles Co, which had a courthouse fire at the end of the Civil War which destroyed their marriage records. Hence, no marriage record of around 1829 for William and Allie was found, indicating that they married in Giles Co. In 1850 Alie (Ala in 1850) was living in District 4 of Marshall Co TN with her children. He r you n ge s t c h i l d was born in 1 8 4 9 , s o h e r husband must have died soon before the summer of 1850. District 4 of Marshall Co was next to District 17 of Giles Co (Cornersville area). Ala was born in NC in 1809, but all six of her children from the 1850 Marshall Co censes were born in TN. A search of the 1840 census for Marshall, Bedford, and Lincoln Counties did not show any reliable clues as to who her husband was. Only Giles Co had clues to find her husband. Since there was an eleven year gap between daughters Drucilla and Lucy, a search of the marriage records in the Giles Co and surrounding counties for Ms Ala _____ and a Mr Young in the mid-1840s found nothing. Allie had a second marriage, to a Mr Blackshear, after 1850 in Lincoln Co, but was again a widow by 1870. That marriage record was also not found. She was then living in District 10 of Lincoln Co (Allie, age 60), next door to her son Gabriel; two children from the 1850 census still lived with her. District 10 is the large northernmost Civil District in Lincoln Co, next to southern Marshall Co to the northwest, Bradford Co directly north, and next to Moore Co to the northeast.

In 1880, still in Lincoln Co, she was Aley, age 71, and lived next door to her son Mark, and was next to some Blackshear neighbors; her son Henry was using the Blackshear name, and was age 30. Aley's daughter Sarah was still at home with Aley in 1880. Her children with William Young were1. Marcus Madison Young, b Apr 1830 2. Sarah J Young, b Apr 1832 3. Gabriel Young, b Apr 1834 4.

Two were: John Young, born 24 Mar 1842 in NH, moved to IL in the 1850s, and settled in District 3 Lincoln Co about 1867 (southeast area). He married Sarah M Bradford in Lincoln Co on 8 Feb 1870 and had five children. And there was William D Young, born in Franklin Co on 10 May 1834, grew up in Franklin Co, and married Martha E Wiseman in Franklin Co on 4 Jan 1858. They lied in Franklin Co in 1860, then were living in District 2 of Lincoln Co in 1870 (south center of the county), then was in District 4 in 1880 (northeast side of the county, next to Moore and Franklin Counties). They had eight sons. (55,15k,17n, 630nqm, 16mrs) William Young [Y4g], son of Thomas Young and Sarah _____, was born about 1817 in Spartanburg Co SC, but grew up in Maury Co and Giles Co TN.

Since William, son of Thomas and Martha, was single in their home in 1860, then this marriage must have been secret at first. In 1870 W J Young (age 37) and

wife Nancy (age 32) lived in the same White River Twp as his parents, but was not next door. In 1880 in Washington Co, William and Nancy were still there. He was then age 47 (born 1833 in TN) and she was age 42 (born 1838 TN). Their children in 1870 and 1880 were all born in Washington Co ARa. Samuel Marion Young, b 1861 b. Richard L Young, b 1865 c.

(M,15s, 54u,56d) William C Young [Y3a], son of Joseph Young and Sarah _____, was born about 1809 in TN, likely Maury or Giles Co very soon after his parents arrived from SC, William was called William Young Sr since he had a younger cousin of the same name (William Young [Y4g], born in 1817) who lived in the same neighborhood in the 1830s. About 1831 William married Elizabeth Kennedy; William's sister Nancy Young [Y3b] married William Kennedy about 1824, son of John Kennedy and Sarah Britton. There is yet no evidence that Nancy's husband was a brother of Elizabeth Kennedy. The family bible passed down by William's son John listed William's wife's name as Elizabeth Kennedy. Elizabeth was born in 1814 in TN, and was alive in 1880 in Giles Co living with her daughter Elizabeth. Her father was from VA, and mother from NC. In 1835 William was living along Bradshaw Creek, for he sold 137 acres there in February of that year. This was land two doors from John Archibald Young [Y1], and next door to John Abernathy.

This was the southeast corner of William's father's land which was deeded to William. These land transactions over the years show that William and his wife Elizabeth spent most of their lives at Beech Hill, where he was a farmer. In 1855 William was named to be the executor in the will of Sterling Huff, father of Rebecca Huff. Soon after 25 April 1865 William died.

The MEMOIR Of MAJOR Thomas YOUNG This memoir was published in the Orion Magazine, in October and November, 1843. Major Young died in 1848 and was buried in the Old Union Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Monarch, South Carolina. I was born in Lawrence [Laurens] District, S.C., on the seventeenth of January, 1764. My father, Thomas Young, soon after removed to Union District, where I have lived to this day. In the spring of 1780, I think in April, Col. Brandon was encamped with a party of 70 or 80 whigs, about five miles below Union courthouse, where Christopher Young now lives. Their object was to collect forces for the approaching campaign, and to keep a check upon the tories. They had taken prisoner one Adam Steedham, as vile a tory as ever lived. By some means Steedham escaped during the night, and notified the tories of Brandon's position. The whigs were attached by a large body of the enemy before day and completely routed. On that occasion, my brother, John Young, was murdered. I shall never forget my feelings when told of his death. I do not believe I had ever used an oath before that day, but then I tore open my bosom, and swore that I would never rest till I had avenged his death. Subsequently a hundred tories felt the weight of my arm for the deed, and around Steedham's neck I fastened the rope as a reward for his cruelties. On the next day I left home in my shirt sleeves, and joined Brandon's party. Christopher Brandon and I joined at the same time, and the first engagement we were in, was at Stallions' in York District. We had received intelligence of a party of tories, then stationed at Stallions'; a detachment of about fifty whigs, under Col. Brandon, moved to attack them. Before we arrived at the house in which they were fortified, we were divided into two parties. Capt. Love with a party of sixteen -- of whom I was one -- Marched to attack the front, while Col. Brandon with the remainder, made a circuit to intercept those who should attempt to escape, and also to attack the rear. Mrs. Stallions was a sister of Capt. Love, and on the approach of her brother she ran out, and begged him not to fire upon the house. He told her it was too late now, and that their only chance for safety was to surrender. She ran back to the house and sprang upon the door step, which was pretty high. At this moment, the house was attacked in the rear by Col. Brandon's party, and Mrs. Stallions was killed by a ball shot through the opposite door. At the same moment with Brandon's attack, our party raised a shout and rushed forward. We fired several rounds which were briskly returned. It was not long, however, before the tories ran up a flag, first upon the end of a gun, but as that did not look exactly peaceful, a ball was put through the fellow's arm, and in a few moments it was raised on a ram-rod, and we ceased firing. While we were fighting a man was seen running through an open field near us. I raised my gun to shoot him, when some of our party exclaimed, "Don't fire; he is one of our own men." I drew down my gun, and in a moment he halted, wheeled round, and fired at us. Old Squire Kennedy (who was an excellent marksman) raised his rifle and brought him down. We had but one wounded, William Kennedy, who was shot by my side. I was attempting to fire in at the door of the house, when I saw two of the tories in the act of shooting at myself and Kennedy. I sprang aside and escaped, calling at the same time to my companion, but he was shot (while moving) through the wrist and thigh. The loss of the tories was two killed, four wounded, and twenty-eight prisoners whom we sent to Charlotte, N.C. After the fight, Love and Stallions met and shed bitter tears; Stallions was dismissed on parole to bury his wife and arrange his affairs. The next engagement I was in, was at King's Mountain, S.C., I believe on the 7th of October, 1780. I was under the command of Col. Brandon. Late in the evening, preceding the battle, we met Colonels Campbell, Shelby, Cleaveland, and Sevier, with their respective regiments, at the Cowpens, where they had been killing some beeves [beef]. As 1141

1142

The YOUNG Families of Early Giles Co TN soon as we got something to eat, for we were very hungry and weary, we retired to sleep at random in the woods. I did not wake until broad daylight. In the morning we received intelligence that Major Ferguson was encamped somewhere near the Cherokee Ford, on Broad River. We pushed forward, but heard no tidings of the enemy. At a meeting-house, on the eastern side of the river, we discovered some signs and continued our pursuit for some distance, when a halt was ordered, and we were on the point of sending out for some beeves, when we met George Watkins, a whig, who had been taken prisoner and was on his way home on parole. He gave us information of the position of the enemy. A consultation of the officers was then held, and the command was given to Col. Campbell. Watkins had informed us that we were within a mile of the enemy. We were then formed into four divisions; who commanded each division I cannot now say. I think Col. Roebuck commanded the one I was in. Major Ferguson had taken a very strong position upon the summit of the mountain, and it appeared like an impossibility to dislodge him, but we had come there to do it, and we were determined, one and all, to do it, or die trying. The attack was begun on the north side of the mountain. The orders were at the firing of the first gun, for every man to raise a whoop, rush forward, and fight his way as best he could. When our division came up to the northern base of the mountain, we dismounted, and Col. Roebuck drew us a little to the left and commenced the attack. I well remember how I behaved. Ben Hollingsworth and myself took right up the side of the mountain, and fought from tree to tree, our way to the summit. I recollect I stood behind one tree and fired until the bark was nearly all knocked off, and my eyes pretty well filled with it. One fellow shaved me pretty close, for his bullet took a piece out of my gunstock. Before I was aware of it, I found myself apparently between my own regiment and the enemy, as I judged, from seeing the paper which the whigs wore in their hats, and the pine knots the tories wore in theirs, these being the badges of distinction. On the top of the mountain, in the thickest of the right, I saw Col. Williams fall, and a braver or a better man never died upon the field of battle. I had seen him but once before that day; it was in the beginning of the action, as he charged by me at full speed around the mountain; toward the summit a ball struck his horse under the jaw, when he commenced stamping as if he were in a nest of yellow jackets. Col. W. threw the reins over the animal's neck -- sprang to the ground, and dashed onward. The moment I heard the cry that Col. Williams was shot, I ran to his assistance, for I loved him as a father, he had ever been so kind to me, and almost always carried a cake in his pocket for me and his little son Joseph. They carried him into a tent, and sprinkled some water in his face. He revived, and his first words were, "For God's sake, boys, don't give up the hill!" I remember it as well as if it had occurred yesterday. I left him in the arms of his son Daniel, and returned to the field to avenge his fall. Col. Williams died next day, and was buried not far from the field of his glory. Joseph Williams -- who was a mere boy -- and his brother Daniel, were, I think, subsequently massacred by the tories at Hay's station. I remember to have heard it told that they were surrounded by the tories, and during the fight a crib or outhouse near the building in which the whigs were stationed caught fire, and when they found there was no hope, Daniel Williams threw his father's pistols into the flames, exclaiming that he would rather see them burn, than go into the hands of a tory. Our loss at the battle of King's Mountain, was about twenty-five killed and wounded. The enemy lost above three hundred, who were left on the ground -- among them Major Ferguson. We took, moreover, seven or eight hundred prisoners. Awful indeed was the stench of the wounded, the dying, and the dead on the field, after the carnage of that dreadful day. A few days after the battle, a court martial was held to try some of the tories who were known to be of the most outrageous and blood-thirsty character. About twenty were found guilty, but ten received a pardon of respite. Nine were hung, and the tenth was pinioned [bound], awaiting his fate. It was now nearly dark. His brother, a mere lad, threw his arms around him, and set up a most piteous crying and screaming, as if he would go into convulsions. While the

The YOUNG Families of Early Giles Co TN soldiers were attracted by his behaviour, he managed to cut the cords, and his brother escaped. After the battle we Marched upon the head waters of Cane Creek, in North Carolina, with our prisoners, where we all came very nearly starving to death. The country was very thinly settled, and provisions could not be had for love or money. I thought green pumpkins, sliced and fried, about the sweetest eating I ever had in my life! From this point we Marched over into the Dutch settlements in the fork of Catawba and recruited, until we joined Gen. Morgan at Grindall Shoals. The next engagement I was at Hammond's store, on Bush River, somewhere near '96. Gen. Morgan was encamped at Grindall Shoals to keep the tories in check. He dispatched Col. Washington with a detachment of militia, and about seventy dragoons [mounted infantrymen], to attack a body of tories, who had been plundering the whigs. We came up with them at Hammond's store; in fact, we picked up several scattering ones, within about three miles of the place, from whom we learned all about their position. When we came in sight, we perceived that the tories had formed in line on the brow of the hill opposite to us. We had a long hill to descend and another to rise. Col. Washington and his dragoons gave a shout, drew swords, and charged down the hill like madmen. The tories fled in every direction without firing a gun. We took a great many prisoners and killed a few. Here I must relate an incident which occurred on this occasion. In Washington's corps there was a boy of fourteen or fifteen, a mere lad, who in crossing Tiger River was ducked by a blunder of his horse. The men laughed and jeered at him very much, at which he got very mad, and swore that boy or no boy, he would kill a man that day or die. He accomplished the former. I remember very well being highly amused at the little fellow charging round a crib after a tory, cutting and slashing away with his puny arm, till he brought him down. We then returned to Morgan's encampment at Grindall Shoals, on the Packolette, and there we remained, eating beef and scouting through the neighborhood until we heard of Tarlton's approach. Having received intelligence that Col. Tarlton designed to cross the Packolette at Easternood Shoals above us, Gen. Morgan broke up his encampment early in the morning of the 16th, and retreated up the mountain road by Hancock's ville, taking the left hand road not far above, in a direction toward the head of Thickety Creek. We arrived at the field of the Cowpens about sun-down, and were told that there we should meet the enemy. The news was received with great joy by the army. We were very anxious for battle, and many a hearty curse had been vented against Gen. Morgan during that day's March, for retreating, as we thought, to avoid a fight. Night came upon us, yet much remained to be done. It was all important to strengthen to cavalry. Gen. Morgan knew well the power of Tarlton's legion, and he was too wily an officer not to prepare himself as well as circumstances would admit. Two companies of volunteers were called for. One was raised by Major Jolly of Union District, and the other, I think, by Major McCall. I attached myself to Major Jolly's company. We drew swords that night, and were informed we had authority to press any horse not belonging to a dragoon or an officer, into our service for the day. It was upon this occasion I was more perfectly convinced of Gen.'s qualifications to command militia, than I had ever before been. He went among the volunteers, helped them fix their swords, joked with them about their sweet-hearts, told them to keep in good spirits, and the day would be ours. And long after I laid down, he was going about among the soldiers encouraging them, and telling them that the old wagoner would crack his whip over Ben. (Tarlton) in the morning, as sure as they lived. "Just hold your heads, boys, three firest," he would say, "and you are free, and then when you return to your homes, how the old folks will bless you, and the girls kiss you, for your gallant conduct!" I don't believe he slept a wink that night! But to the battle. Our pickets were stationed three miles in advance. Samuel Clowney was one of the picket guard, and I often heard him afterwards laugh at his narrow escape. Three of Washington's dragoons were out on a scout, when they came almost in contact with the advanced guard of the British army; they wheeled, and were pursued almost into

1143

1144

The YOUNG Families of Early Giles Co TN camp. Two got in safely; one poor fellow, whose horse fell down, was taken prisoner. It was about day that the pickets were driven in. The morning of the 17th of January, 1781, was bitterly cold. We were formed in order of battle, and the men were slapping their hands together to keep warm -- an exertion not long necessary. The battle field was almost a plain with a ravine on both hands, and very little under growth in front or near us. The regulars, under the command of Col. Howard, a very brave man, were formed in two ranks, their right flank resting upon the head of the ravine on the right. The militia were formed on the left of the regulars, under the command of Col. Pickens, their left flank resting near the head of the ravine on the left. The cavalry formed in rear of the centre, or rather in rear of the left wing of the regulars. About sunrise, the British line advanced at a sort of trot, with a loud halloo. It was the most beautiful line I ever saw. When they shouted I heard Morgan say, "They give us the British halloo, boys, give them the Indian halloo, by G__;" and he galloped along the lines, cheering the men, and telling them not to fire until we could see the whites of their eyes. Every officer was crying don't fire! for it was a hard matter for us to keep from it. I should have said the British line advanced under cover of their artillery; for it opened so fiercely upon the centre, that Col. Washington moved his cavalry from the centre towards the right wing. The militia fired first. It was for a time pop-pop-pop- and then a whole volley; but when the regulars fired, it seemed like one sheet of flame from right to left. Oh! it was beautiful! I have heard old Col. Fair say often, that he believed John Savage fired the first gun in this battle. He was riding to and fro, along the lines, when he saw Savage fix his eye upon a British officer; he stepped out of the ranks, raised his gun -- fired, and he saw the officer fall. After the first fire, the militia retreated, and the cavalry covered their retreat. They were again formed and renewed the attack, and we retired to the rear. They fought for some time, and retreated again -- and then formed a second time. In this I can hardly be mistaken, for I recollect well that the cavalry was twice, during the action, between our army and the enemy. I have understood that one of the retreats was ordered by mistake by one of Morgan's officers. How true this is I cannot say. After the second forming, the first became general and unintermitting. In the hottest of it, I saw Col. Brandon coming at full speed to the rear and waving his sword to Col. Washington. In a moment the command to charge was given, and I soon found that the British cavalry had charged the American right. We made a most furious charge, and cutting through the British cavalry, wheeled and charged them in the rear. In this charge, I exchanged my tackey for the finest horse I ever rode; it was the quickest swap I ever made in my life! At this moment the bugle sounded. We, about half formed and making a sort of circuit at full speed, came up in rear of the British line, shouting and charging like madmen. At this moment Col. Howard gave the word "charge bayonets!" and the day was ours. The British broke, and throwing down their guns and cartouch [cartridge] boxes, made for the wagon road, and did the prettiest sort of running! After this Major Jolly and seven or eight of us resolved upon an excursion to capture some of the baggage. We went about twelve miles, and captured two British soldiers, two negroes, and two horses laden with portmanteaus [saddle bags]. One of the portmanteau belonged to a paymaster in the British service, and contained gold. Jolly insisted upon my returning with the prize to camp, while he pursued a little farther. I did so. Jolly's party dashed onward, and soon captured an armorer's wagon, with which they became so much engaged that they forgot all about me. I rode along for some miles at my leisure, on my fine gray charger, talking to my prisoners, when all at once I saw, coming in advance, a party, which I soon discovered to be British. I knew it was no time to consider now; so I wheeled, put spurs to my horse, and made down the road in hopes of meeting Jolly and his party. My horse was stiff, however, from the severe exercise I had given him that morning, and I soon found that they were gaining pon me. I wheeled abruptly to the right

The YOUNG Families of Early Giles Co TN into a cross road, but a party of three or four dashed through the woods and intercepted me. It was now a plain case, and I drew my sword and made battle. I never fought so hard in my life. I knew it was death anyhow, and I resolved to sell my life as dearly as possible. In a few minutes one finger on my left hand was split open; then I received a cut on my sword arm by a parry which disabled it. In the next instance a cut from a sabre across my forehead, (the scar of which I shall carry to my grave), the skin slipped down over my eyes, and the blood blinded me so that I could see nothing. Then came a thrust in the right shoulder blade, then a cut upon the left shoulder, and a last cut (which you can feel for yourself) on the back of my head – and I fell upon my horse's neck. They took me down, bound up my wounds, and placed me again on my horse a prisoner of war. When they joined the party in the main road, there were two tories who knew me very well -- Littlefield and Kelly. Littlefield cocked his gun, and swore he would kill me. In a moment nearly twenty British soldiers drew their swords, and cursing him for a d____d coward, for wanting to kill a boy without arms and a prisoner -- ran him off. Littlefield did not like me, and for a very good reason. While we were at Grindall Shoals with Morgan, he once caught me out, and tried to take my gun away from me. I knocked him down with it, and as he rose I clicked it, and told him if he didn't run I'd blow him through. He did not long hesitate which of the two to choose. I asked Kelly not to tell the British who I was, and I do not think the fellow did. Col. Tarlton sent for me, and I rode by his side for several miles. He was a very fine looking man, with rather a proud bearing, but very gentlemanly in his manners. He asked me a great many questions, and I told him one lie, which I have often thought of since. In reply to his query whether Morgan was reinforced before the battle? I told him "he was not, but that he expected a reinforcement every minute." "He asked me how many dragoons Washington had. "I replied that "he had seventy, and two volunteer companies of mounted militia -- but you know how they won't fight." "By G_d!" he quickly replied, "they did to-day, though!" I begged him to parole me, but he said, "if he did, I should go right off and turn to fighting again." I told him he could get three men in exchange for me, and he replied-"Very well, when we get to Cornwallis' army, you shall be paroled or exchanged; and mean while, I'll see that your wounds are taken care of." We got to Hamilton Ford, on Broad River, about dark. Just before we came to the river, a British dragoon came up at full speed, and told Col. Tarlton that Washington was close behind in pursuit. It was now very dark, and the river was said to be swimming. The British were not willing to take water. Col. Tarlton flew into a terrible passion, and drawing his sword, swore he would cut down the first man who hesitated. They knew him too well to hesitate longer. During the confusion, a young Virginian by the name of Deshaser (also a prisoner) and myself, managed to get into the woods. In truth a British soldier had agreed to let us escape, and to desert if we would assist him in securing the plunder he had taken. We slipped away one at a time up the river, Deshaser first, then myself. I waited what I thought a very long time for the British soldier, and he came not. At last I began to think the British were across, and I gave a low whistle -- Deshaser answered me, and we met. It was now very dark and raining when we came to the Packolette. I could not find the ford, and it was well, for the river was swimming. We therefore made our way up the river, and had not gone far before we approached a barn. It had a light in it, and I heard a cough. We halted and reconnoitred, and finding it occupied by some British soldiers, we pressed on and soon arrived at old Captain Grant's where I was glad to stop. The old man and his lovely daughter washed and dressed my wounds, and in looking over the bag of plunder which the soldier had given us, they found a fine ruffled shirt, which I put on and went to bed. I shall never forget that girl or the old man for their kindness! On the next day I left with Deshaser, and arrived at home that evening, where I was confined by a violent fever for eight or ten days; but thanks to the kind nursing and attention of old Mrs. Brandon, I recovered. I now slept in the woods for about three weeks, waiting for some of the whigs to come in and commence operations. I was con-

1145

1146

The YOUNG Families of Early Giles Co TN cerned about a horse. The British soldiers, when they took me, dismounted me from the fine charger I captured at the Cowpens and put me on a pacing pony. One day I met old Molly Willard riding a very fine sorrel horse, and told her we must swap. She wouldn't listen to it -- but I replied that there was no use in talking, the horse I would have, and the exchange was made not much to the old woman's satisfaction, for she didn't love the whigs; I don't believe the Willards have forgiven me for that horse swap to this day. Soon after this I joined a detachment of whigs under Col. Brandon, and scouted through the country till we reached the siege at Fort Motte. There I remained for several days, when we joined a detachment under command of Col. Hampton, to take Orangeburg. The state troops, under Col. Hampton, out Marched us, for we had a piece of artillery to manage. We arrived the morning after them. The tories were lodged in a brick house, and kept up a monstrous shouting and firing to very little purpose. As soon as the piece of artillery was brought to bear upon the house, a breach was made through the gable end; then another, a little lower; then about the centre, and they surrendered. I then joined a party of dragoons under Capt. Boykin, at the solicitation of Capt. Giles, to capture some horses we heard were billeted out by the British, near Bacon's Bridge, in the low country. It was a most hazardous expedition, and required great courage and prudence. Capt. Boykin had both. We went to the hotel and called for the hostler. Capt. Boykin drew his pistol, cocked it, and told him if he did not open the stable door, he would shoot him dead. You may rest assured he did not long consider about it! They got three very fine animals: two stallions and a gelding. Neither Giles nor I got a horse, and we were in no very good humor, as knew we should have to go back at so rapid a pace that our nags could not stand it. Sure enough, after one day and night's travel, our horses began to fail, and we resolved to take the words; but Boykin begged us to try and keep up, and as we soon should come to another billet of horses, we should have the first choice. Well, next day we did come upon a fine lot of horses, wild as devils. Giles and I went in, and I soon caught a yellow sorrel mare. Giles, who was an excellent judge of horse flesh, was struck with her form, and said to me, "Young, if you will let me have that mare, I will help you catch any horse in the lot!" I gave her to him, and picked me out a bay mare. Time proved that Giles was correct in his judgment, as the yellow mare was never caught in a chase, or beaten in a race afterwards. We were all now well mounted, and pushed off to join our detachment above. When we arrived at Granby, we were nearly all discharged. Col. Brandon, Major Jolly and myself, resolved to make an excursion to 96 -- where the siege were then going on. Here I remained during the siege. As we every day got our parallels nearer the garrison, we could see them very plain when they went out to a brook or spring for water. The Americans had constructed a short of moving battery, but as the cannon of the fort were brought to bear upon it, they were forced to abandon the use of it. It had not been used for some time, when an idea struck old Squire Kennedy, (who was an excellent marksman,) that he could pick off a man now and then as they went to the spring. He and I took our rifles and went into the woods to practice at 200 yards. We were arrested and taken before an officer, to whome we gave our excuse and design. He laughed, and told us to practice no more, but to try our luck from the battery if we wanted to, so we took our position, and as a fellow came down to the spring, Kennedy fired and he fell; several ran out and gathered round him, and among them I noticed one man raised his head, and look around as if he wondered where that shot could have come from. I touched my trigger and he fell, and we made off, for fear it might be our time to fall next. After the siege of 96, I returned to my old neighborhood, and was engaged in various scouting expeditions till peace was declared. I was on a scouting expedition to Mudlick, under Col. Brandon. We were all mounted. We saw two spies, before we came upon the tories, and pursued them to the creek. Col. Brandon sent out Major Jolly with a flank guard to prevent their outflanking us -- they were on the opposite side of the creek, and commanded the ford, so that we could not cross. Jolly and I approached very near; so near that a cousin of mine, William Young, hailed us and inquired who commanded. A good

The YOUNG Families of Early Giles Co TN deal was said to keep us engaged. Young waived his sword to me several times, and hallooed to me to go away; a moment after we were fired upon by a party who had crept up the creek through the bushes. A shot went under Jolly's horse's belly, and another shaved my horse's forelegs. We returned the fire, but did not damage, saving putting a ball through Young's horse's nose. We then retreated, under the hope that they would pursue us, but they did not. This same cousin of mine had offered a hundred guineas to any man who would bring me into 96. In one of our excursions we heard of a band of tories being concealed in a very dense thicket, over on Sandy River; it was said they had a great deal of plunder. A party, of which I recollect Col. Brandon, Col. Casey, Col. Hughes, and Major Jolly, were members, went to attack them. We got there early in the day, and it was not long before we had possession of the place. In the fight I took a little fellow, by the name of Tom Moore, prisoner. I ran him for some distance, shot at him, and broke his arm. When I took him back Tom Salter wanted to kill him, because Moore had once had him prisoner, and would in all probability have killed him, if he had not escaped. I cocked my gun, and told them no! he was my man, and I would shoot the first one who harmed him. During this skirmish I witnessed rather an amusing scene between Col. Hughes and a Tory. Hughes had dismounted to get a chance to shoot at some fellow through the bushes, when a tory sprang upon his horse and dashed away. Hughes discovered it in time, fired, and put a ball through the hind tree of the saddle and the fellow's thigh. The tory fell, and Hughes got his horse. In this excursion we got a great deal of plunder, which has been concealed by the tories. Once after this, I was taken by a party of "Outliers," (a name given to the Greys,) the most notorious and abandoned plunders and murderers of that gloomy period. On account of the kindness I had once shown to one of them while a prisoner, in my charge, I was set at liberty without being hurt. While we were in North Carolina recruiting, an incident occurred which may be well enough to relate. One Capt. Reid was at a neighbor's house, in York District, on a visit. The landlady saw two men approaching the house whom she knew to be tories, and told Capt. Reid he had better escape, for they would kill him. He replied, no! -- they had been his neighbors; he had known Love and Sadler all his life, and had nothing to fear from them. He walked out into the yard, offered them his hand, and they killed him. His mother, a very old woman, came to where we were encamped in North Carolina. One morning we were called out on parade, and this old woman came before us, leaning upon the arms of two officers. She drew from her bosom the bloody pocket book of her son, and three times attempted to go to her knees, but was prevented by the officers who supported her. Col. Brandon stepped out and asked if there were any here willing to volunteer to avenge her wrongs. Twenty-five stepped out at once. I was one of the number. We started, rode all night, halted in the next day, kept watch in the woods, but slept not; the next night we arrived at old Love's. One part of our company was to attack the house, another the barn. The house was attacked, and the door broken down by a powerful man by the name of Maddox, who was afterwards killed at King's Mountain. In staving open the door, he floored old Love and knocked some of his teeth out. At this moment a cry was raised that they were in the barn, and to the barn we all rushed. One of our men fired through the door and killed one of the murderers, the other was killed in the skirmish. What is most strange about the matter is, that another man was sleeping with them, and in the melee he escaped unhurt. We now felt that we had done all that was required to us, and returned to our quarters in North Carolina. After the declaration of peace in 1783, Major Thomas Young married, and settled in Union District, upon the spot where he now lives, where he brought up a large family. He is beloved by his neighbors for his kindness, and respected by all for the scars he received in the cause of Liberty.

LOYALIST LIST Petition to Lord Germain Dated 19 April 1782 The following petition, signed by eleven (11) South Carolina Loyalist Officers, was submitted to the Right Honorable Lord George Germain for presentation to the Crown. The document probably was drafted by Thomas Fletchall, perhaps with the aid of Joseph Robinson (both are signatories thereto). The petition provides the names of approximately 300 Loyalists who were murdered by the Whigs during the Revolution. The petition has been previously published in several books concerning the Loyalists of South Carolina; however, the original document is located in the Public Record Office, London, Manuscript Reference CO5, Volume 82. Charlestown, South Carolina 19 April 1782 TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY MOST GRACIOUS SOVEREIGN WE your Majesty's dutiful and loyal Subjects, once the inhabitants of the frontier of South Carolina, now refugees here, humbly beg leave openly to assure our Sovereign that we are His true and loyal Subjects, in which Principles we are confirmed, and stand independent, divested of all temporizing motives, in consequence of which we have sacrificed Our All, in order to enjoy the blessings of the happiest Constitution guarded by the best of Monarchs. Thus disposed, it is with astonishment and indignation we learn that men about your Royal Person dare to vilify the conduct of your faithful servants in America, we allude to the Duke of Richmond's Speech in the House of Peers the 31 st of January 1782, when he openly disapproves of Justice being executed on the Rebel Hayne s . I t r e f l e c t s o n the c harac ters of Ear l Cor nwallis , Lor d Rawdon, and our Commandant Lieutenant Colonel Balfour, officers who have made the real interest of their Country the constant rule of their truly virtuous conduct. Gratitude should have drawn this acknowledgment from us, yet we might have been silent, had it not been for the open and extraordinary assertion of His Grace of Richmond “that the loyalists of South Carolina did not hesitate to denominate the execution of Haynes to be Murder, and that of the foulest complexion.” -- this we deny, and are fully of Opinion, that his execution was a proper example, and Just reward for his treason and infidelity and are Sorry the same mode of correcting rebels was so long deferred, through laudable, but we conceive, mistaken motives. W e are not to suppose His Grace is ignorant that the Usurpers in this Province have murdered above three hundred Men, some after and some without pretended trials, on a bare Suspicion of their being attached to your Majesty's Government. His Grace and virtuous Colleagues (in the support of rebellion) sit at ease fabricating Systems to prolong the W ar, at the expense of the Blood, the treasure, the honor, the happiness of the Nation, whilst we without regret suffer in support and defense of Government. We sincerely lament the encouragement Rebellion receives from their opposition to your Majesty's Wise and Just measures, which without doubt has been conducive to prolong this unnatural rebellion, we therefore, actuated by Principles of Loyalty, and conducted by honest sincerity, have presumed to make this declaration of our Sentiments, and that your Majesty's benevolent endeavors for the happiness of your People, be crowned with Success, is the most sincere wish of Your Majesty's Most dutiful and Loyal Subjects Signed By: Thomas Fletchall, Colonel of the Forks of Broad and Saluda Rivers Joseph Robinson, Lieut-Colonel, South Carolina Royalists Evan McLaurin, Lieut-Colonel, Second Battalion South Carolina Royalists Thomas Edgehill, Lieut-Colonel of Little Saluda Regiment of Militia.
