Carole, Is this one of yours? >From "The History of Thomas Co Ga" by Irwin McIntyre",Chapter 7, Record of Wills recorded between 9-04-1826 and 6-30-1860, date not given, but from the text, 1860: "Of Major Elijah Remer Young whose legatees were his daughter Malvina E Potter and the children of the following brothers and sisters: Willis Young, John Young, David Young, Matthew Young, Mike Young, James Young, Mrs Sarah Price, Mrs Blackman and Mrs Lavina Jones. $2500.00 went to the St Thomas Lodge number 49 of F.&A.M. which was used in erecting a building at the corner of Broad and Fletcher streets. $30,000.00 went to Young's College which operated for half a century and was one of the first concrete schemes for the higher education of young women. 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. Miller
