It's been a long while since I have worked on the Youngs, but the Joshua Youngs I am aware of are: Joshua Young (c1747-1792), son of Sewell Young Sr. Spouse: Rachel. Joshua Young (1769-after April 1840), son of Thomas and Naomi Young. Spouse: Mary Pritchett. Joshua Young Jr., probable son of Joshua and Rachel Young. Spouse: Sally Mashburn. Joshua Young (c1796-), son of Strawbridge and Martha (Wilson) Young; grandson of Thomas and Naomi Young. Spouse: Margaret Barnard There were others born in the 1800s that I won't get into.
