I am prepared to pay a reward of $100 to $500 for information leading to the arrest (just kidding folks) location of the graves of the following people. William YOUNG b. abt. 1792 d. bet. 1850-1855 "Mary" YOUNG b. abt. 1789 d. bet. 1835-1840 I will pay $100 to the first person who provides me with any information that will lead me to either one of their graves. I will pay $200 to the first person who provides me with any information that leads me to both of their graves. I will pay $250 to the first person who finds either one of their graves and I will pay $500 to the first person who finds both of their graves. William and "Mary" YOUNG are my maternal 4th great grandparents. I call her "Mary" but I don't know for sure that is her given name but based on the given name of a daughter and the given names of some of the granddaughters her name is Mary. I don't know the maiden name of "Mary". I believe that both "Mary" and William died in Edwards Co. The family is found on the 1830 White Co IL census and on the 1835, 1840, 1845, 1850, 1855, and 1860 Edwards Co IL census. "Mary" last appeared with the family on the 1835 Edwards Co Illinois State Census. She does not appear with the rest of the family on the 1840 census for Edwards Co. She was born 1784-1791 in KY. William was born 1791-1792 in KY. He is last found living with his son John Young on the 1850 Edwards Co census. He is not found on the 1855 Edwards Co Illinois State Census. I live in Winter Park, FL and have lived at the same location for over 32 years. In my 67 years I have never failed to pay something I promised to pay and I would be delighted to pay these rewards.
