Here is the information I have been able to confirm. My Grandfather's name was Ab.H. Young (legal name Albert Henry Young) b) 11 Oct 1875 in ?? d) 20 Jan 1927 Coleman Tx, buried in Stephenville, Erath Co. Tx ( West End Cemetery). His headstone shows A.B. Young. On the death index filed in the courthouse shows AB's(Albert's) parents to be B.C. Young and Martha Polston Young. Martha's name on her headstone is shown as Mrs. M. J. Young.

My Greatgrandfather, B.C. Young, is not buried in this cemetery and I have not been able to locate B.C. Young's place of burial or death, as far as that goes I haven't been able to find anything. I don't know if F.R. Young is connected to A.B. & M.J. Young but he and his wife are right across from the curbed area. His headstone reads Fredrick R. Young b) 11 Feb 1820 in London England d) 7 Nov 1908 in Bronte Tx. and his wife Abigal's headstone reads Abigale Young wife of F.R. Young b) 27 Feb 1849 d) 12 May 1902 Albert "Ab" H.

They had no children but adopted Donna Usher (I think that was her last name she had a brother Buddy). I understand that he "Bill" Wm. Albert Young was married before he married Mildred Frits but no one knows his first wifes name. I am not sure where my aunt (Hallie Y Young) was born but she was born on 30 NOV 1914. She married Otto Leichliter 28 November 1936 in Odessa, Ector Co., Texas. They had 2 children (Paulette) Mrs. Wm. E. Davis of Topeka, Kan. and (Karen) Mrs. Thomas G. McIntosh of Midland TX. Ott H.

They were orphaned when their mother died in 1920, and their father in 1927. The three of them and Belva Tabor lived with their mother's Jennings family. LouElla had at least 3 children with Mr. J. W. "Will" Boyle. Bertha A. Boyle b) 7 June 1894 d) 12 Oct 1900, an infant son born and died the same day 15 November 1896. Bertha and the infant are both buried in the Howe Cemetery with L. F.

LouElla and Mr. Tabor had at least one child, Belva M. Tabor b) 1912 d) 1929. Belva is buried in Howe Cemetery with her mother LouElla and LouElla's parents. It is my understanding that Will H. Young (who lived in Erath Co, Tx) was my father's Uncle. On request I can send you a copy of a card that he used when running for Sheriff of Erath Co in 1928. Now you know what I know about my Young family connections. I appreciate any thing you can offer to help me in my search. Thank you so much for responding!
