Dot, I was just going back through some old emails, and I came upon yours. I was looking through old Young messages, and saw where one of Isaac Young's daughters married a "Cooksey". And yes, it was old man Isaac Young, with wife and 7 children, who came over with the 2nd batch of settlers, and arrived somewhere around August 1, 1736, to Savannah. Old man Isaac was dead by May, 1757, as shown in the Land Claims, Department of Archives in Atlanta, p. 112-3, Claim of Isaac Young, dated May 1757, for land on Pipemakers Creek originally granted to him; also a tract joining aforesaid, "late his father's deceased, Isaac Young, Sr." entailed on said Isaac. According to a letter that he wrote to the Trustees, not dated on my copy, they had all had severe sickness, and one of his daughters died, probably c. 1738 or so. Several perhaps 'quit' GA and went on to South Carolina c. 1740's. According to an old family tree, Isaac had married Mary Mounce or Mouse, a daughter of Thomas Mounce, in Ireland or England, and their children were: Nathaniel, who possibly went to S. C.; Isaac, Jr., married Martha Bradley and made it through the Revolution with granted lands intact, on the Patriot side; Sarah, married William Cooksey, but she a widow by 1757 when her brother, Isaac Young made a claim #50 for her for a lot in Savannah, granted Cooksey by the Trustees; John; Thomas, married the widow of Thomas Box, a hatter, her name being Mrs. Mary Box, who had two sons when she married him, and Thomas and Mary were the parents of William Young of Savannah [who married Sophia Chisselle) an attorney of prominence and later the Speaker of the House of Commons, died 1775, and one who shows up in the early Colonial Records as being an ardent Patriot, Dr. James Box Young, a prominent physician, and Mary Charlotte Young, who married General James Jackson; Elizabeth, who I think died earlier. That's as far as I've gotten. Do you have enough of your family in sendable form so I could look at other surnames that they might have married? We've been at this over 10 years now, and still too many unanswered questions about the GA clan.

I am a descendant of a William Young line that settled in the Old Orangeburgh District of South Carolina cir 1735. But, I think in my notes, there was a Young who landed in Savannah about the same time -- was this Isaac or his ancestor? But the names I keep seeing posted on the Screven list sure look a lot like my own ancestors -- although most are such common names. My great-grandmother was a Young (married a Baker) out of South Carolina. She moved to Bulloch Co from Orangeburg Co around 1908. I am also a Brinson/Beasley descendant. Dot
