Hello, I have just checked the archives of this List and it looks like I haven't posted a query about this YOUNG family in 2 years. So, I'd like to mention them again: I am looking to find descendants of .. Earl and Mary YOUNG and their four children who were living in New Haven in both 1920 and 1930. The children were: Mary Barbara YOUNG, b1915 Evelyn Virginia YOUNG, b1917 Frederick E. YOUNG, b1918 Winthrop A. YOUNG, b1920 I don't know if I have found the married names of the daughters; my notes aren't handy at the moment. But, I found out that Fred YOUNG died in 1996 in CT, and Winthrop YOUNG died in 1997 in RI. My major question for the descendants of this family is .... Who holds the research work and papers and documents of .. Winthrop YOUNG .. who wrote a "YOUNG family history document" in his later years. I am interested in reviewing the notes to see if there is information about Earl YOUNG's parents in Killingly, CT, which might not have been included in the document. The document is a home-typed, home-copied booklet, but is very thorough. But, it concentrates on the YOUNG line and has little on the other surnames. A "distant cousin" in CT found a copy of it at the Killingly Historical Society. Winthrop YOUNG's family moved around and spent many years in Ohio. I don't have my notes handy, but, from memory, he had 3 sons who decided to remain living in Ohio after they married. At the time the document was prepared, he had one daughter who was preparing to move from CT to MA. (1980's?) Earl YOUNG was the only child who lived to adulthood of Abner and Clara (DEXTER) YOUNG of Killingly, CT. They had a daughter, Bertha, first, whom I believe died as a baby. A later census form said that Clara had had a third pregnancy, but only one child, Earl, lived. I am VERY interested in Clara's third pregnancy -- and wanted to know if she gave birth to a baby in January or February 1889 (not necessarily in Killingly, CT). In March 1892 near Boston, MA, her parents, John and Mary (CLARK) DEXTER adopted a baby girl who had just turned 3. They had strangely left their life-long home in Killingly, CT, to move to Boston - right around the time that baby was born. I would very much like to find out whether the girl they adopted .. was their granddaughter (possibly an unwanted pregnancy of their married daughter). The little girl was re-named at her adoption to Mary Anna Clark DEXTER - after the adoptive mother's maiden name. "May" grew up to become my grandmother. Thank you for your time.
