Dear Fawn, So happy to get your response! My ancestor, William J. LOVE (b.NC 1798), who I assume was Cherokee*, had a daughter Jane who married a YOUNG. These children were all b.TN: Jane b.1822 James b.1823 Mary b.1828 William Thomas (my ancestor) b.1829 possibly even more In the 1850 Census, MO, Montgomery, Dist.61: M432_407 181a image27: William J. and Loviry LOVE also have Euphema (b.1841) and William (b.1846) who might have been grandchildren. The Census didn't ask for relationships. What would help me the most is if you know more about the grandparents of Reese Young. I have traced that family through many decades but don't know if this is the family into which my g-g-g-aunt married. Let me know when you are home and able to look it up. Your help is immensely appreciated! Nancy *In the 1930 Census, the son of Jane Love YOUNG's sister Mary Love WATKINS stated that his mother was full-blood Cherokee. The family was then living in OK. My branch lived in MO and then KS across the street from OK.
