I also have in my research notes some correspondance from a YOUNG researcher who can go back five generations on YOUNG. In 1830, James YOUNG and Elizabeth RYMAN moved from Kentucky to Marion Co. Missouri according to my research notes. There were other RYMAN individuals that remained in Fayette County KY that I am interested in learning more about and exchanging information, including Robert Ryman (1799-1893), brother of Elizabeth, who married 1) Sara (Sallie) D. GATEWOOD 2) Esther Neal Livingston 3) Margaret J. Hughes.
