I am trying to find the parents of Sarah Margaret YOUNG and Savicy YOUNG. Any help with this would be most appreciated. Here is what I know: Sarah married Perry COLBORN in Clay Co on 12-25-1850. I have found no children from Sarah's marriage to Perry. I think Perry died about 1851 as Sarah married Thomas T. REEVES in Clay Co on 8-14-1853. Prior to marrying Sarah Margaret Young COLBORN, Thomas T. REEVES had married Savicy YOUNG in White Co on 6-21-1839. I have found no children from Savicy's marriage to Thomas. Thomas and Savicy are on the 1840 Clay Co census and that census shows 1 female in the family, age 15-20 (1819-1825), but according to the 1850 Clay Co census Thomas is living with a wife named Elizabeth age 33 (1816-1817). I don't know who this Elizabeth is as I find no marriage record of a Thomas REEVES to an Elizabeth and "Elizabeth" does not meet the age of the female (who I assume is Savicy) living with Thomas in 1840. I know that Sarah and Thomas had at least two sons (William Elisha REEVES and George W. REEVES) because the marriage records of those two sons indicate that the grooms' parents were Thomas T. REEVES and Sarah Margaret YOUNG. I believe Sarah Margaret YOUNG died in 1859 as she is not with the family in 1860 (in fact the family is split up living with several other families in 1860). Also, the youngest son George W. REEVES was born in 1859 so maybe Sarah died giving birth to George W. Now the questions: Since Savicy was married in White Co is she the daughter of Christopher YOUNG or William YOUNG? Both Christopher and William were in White Co in the 1830s and both had several daughters. William is later found in Edwards Co but several of his descendants moved to Clay Co. Conversely, Savicy YOUNG and/or Sarah Margaret YOUNG could be a daughter of John and Susan YOUNG of Wayne Co as John and Susan had at least one daughter (Ruth YOUNG) who did marry in White Co. Did Savicy YOUNG die between the 1840 census and the 1850 census or is she the "Elizabeth" who is on the 1850 census but the age of 33 for the "Elizabeth" on the 1850 census is wrong and she is using the name "Elizabeth" instead of Savicy? Often when a man marries two different women with the same maiden surname the women are sisters. Are Sarah Margaret YOUNG and Savicy YOUNG sisters? Thank you for any assistance you may provide solving this mystery. Eldon
