Hi again, Maureen. Ok. I found this letter, from Mr. Charles Parish Blitch, to me, dated January 10, 1999. In it, he is giving me the details of how the Young and Blitch family came together. "My grandmother's sister, LAURA WILLIAMS, married THOMAS YOUNG, son of JAMES YOUNG, SR., in 1861. [My note: Thomas Young was killed in the Civil War. He is buried in the now "YOUNG/BLITCH" cemetery in Bulloch County, GA] They had one daughter, MARY THOMAS YOUNG, to survive. She married DANIEL C. ASHLEY of Valdosta. LAURA WILLIAMS YOUNG married my grandfather's brother, JOHN GIDEON BLITCH, in 1871. That's how we are connected to the Young family. Also JAMES YOUNG, JR. married my great grandmother, ROXEY ANN WILLIAMS, around 1851. Her first husband, WASHINGTON WILLIAMS, died in 1845." I will post separately references of how it became the Blitch/Lane house.
