Lucille- I believe that I found information pertaining to your Young family today. The 1850 census transcription for McLean Co. shows the following Young family in Randolph Township: Young, William 50m Far 2000 Pa Nancy 46f Ga John 18m Lab Oh Merit 15m Il Araho 13 m Il Sarah E. 11f Il Nancy J. 9f Il Susan C. 6f Il Amandeth 4f Il I also found an 1866 directory listing for YOUNG, M.C. Postmaster Saybrook as well as several other items. If you will send me your address off the list, I will get this in the mail to you sometime this week.
