Hello, Walton Gen Kids!! I am Mary Ellen Dickerson, living about 10 miles east of Shreveport, LA, tornado alley. There have been about 25 tornadoes in my area in the past 12 months. This has a way of keeping one's mind off genealogy!! However, in my more sane moments, I continue to look for the family of my great-grandfather, James Harrison Young. He died in 1916; buried at Alcovy Mountain Cemetery in Social Circle. He was the son of Moses W. Young, Jr. and wife Mary Edmonds/Edmondson. I have seen this name written both ways on the same legal documents. Moses, Jr. was the son of Moses Young, Sr. and wife, Polly Fain/Fair. I have seen two Georgia marriage books and one said "Fain" and the other said "Fair." I recently obtained a will left by James Young, 1837 in Oglethorpe Co. and I really believe that this is man is my James' great-grandfather. Of course, that has not been proven. Chilren of James Young (died 1837) include the following: James Young, Jr. Henry Young, married Jan. 2, 1812 to Polly Ward Thomas Young, married Feb. 15, 1811 to Jane Gesham Wootson (Woodson), born Nov. 29, 1782; married Jan. 9, 1811 to Keziah Minor Elizabeth Young, married to __________? Landrum Dorcas Young, married Jan. 31, 1806 to John Huey Anna Young, married Jan. 28, 1808 to James Landrum Susannah Young, married Jan. 22, 1818 to James Lanier Moses Young, Sr. was the father of the following: Annie Young, born ca. 1805 Elizabeth Young, born ca. 1806; married Oct. 25, 1824 to Richard Downs Mary T.

I may be facing surgery in a few days; if so, I will not be able to post another 'letter of the alphabet.' Thank you for your time. This is a great list!! I've been to several in Texas, Alabama and Mississippi and this is, by far, the best!!! Mary Ellen Dickerson JoMar95@shreve.net
