Yes, thank you. Elijah Remer Young was one of the sons of William Young and Mary Henderson. When William Young died in 1814, there was an administration that listed the orphans of William Young [this happened in Scriven County] where Elijah Remer [E.R.] was listed with Willis, James, Elizabeth, Michael, David, Lavinia, and off the tope of my head I can't remember the other child. The only child to really remain a property holder in Scriven/Bulloch County was James Young who died in 1859. The rest pioneered on down to Thomas, Brooks, Decatur and Early counties. This E.R. Young was married to a Peel. We've looked for years to find the real origin of the name Remer and Elijah for whom he was named.

The major had planned the College many years before his death. He was the son of William and Mary Henderson Young, William being the son of William Young of Savannah and his wife who was a Miss Remer. He died June 30, 1860 aged 62 years and is buried in the cemetery at Greenwood, at the time the property of his brother-in-law Mr Tom Jones." Carol B.
