    1. Re: [CherokeeGeneCommunity] YOUNG, William b. TN abt.1822
    2. Nancy: The additional Young information I have is from The Webster County Historical Sociatey, {Missouri}, June, 1978, Special Publication Number One, entitled A YOUNG ENTERPRISE IN AN OLD SETTING. This publication restates the compilation of James Ellis Young, a student at the University of Alabama, and indicates that three oung brothers, William Carroll Young, Thomas K. Young and Peter (Barney) Young were living in Maury County, TN before moving to Missouri in 1853; that Peter married Elizabeth Ray (Rhea) in 1839; that William married Elizabeth's sister, Jane Ray in 1842; that the marriages apparently took place in Maury County; and that Elizabeth and Jane were the daughters of Alexander and Zelphia Rhea (Ray). William C and Jane Ray Young are the parents of a Reece Young whose date of birth does not match your Reece's date of birth. This Reece married Nancy Oney Haymes on June 18, 1871. There may well be another Reece in the family, but my information is limited. Would like to know if you fit into this family in some way, as I would love to know more about the Youngs and collateral families, since my maternal grandmother was a Young. Fawn Kennedy Dessy
