Posted on: Chickasaw County Iowa Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/Chickasaw?read=443 Surname: Young ------------------------- I have finally made a connection with the William Young in your message. He was a brother to Joseph Young (also from Wayne Co., NY). Subsequently to my original posting I have found that Joseph Young was the father to my great-grandfather John Hopkins Young. It appears that Joseph came to Chickasaw County in early 1861 and left for Kansas in 1872 or 1873. He also had another brother, Samuel Young, that came to Chickasaw County sometime after 1860. I find, William & Joseph listed in the 1870 Census in Chickasaw County, but not Samuel. Any further information on these three brothers or their descendants would be greatly appreciated.
