Are you speaking about the Charles Young who died with will in Oct. 1763 Dobbs Co. ("Returns of Wills . granted in NC, 1753-1790_) by Ransom McBride, published in NCGSJ of May 88) Richard Caswell and Grace Young are Executors, no security named. Or is this an earlier one?

Jack, Thanks for the recap. It helps a lot. Now, I have Charles Young on my database - no wife. Got to be the same Charles Young. From the records of list member Charles. Charles Young had a daughter Martha who married Spencer Caldwell. Their children were - Samuel, Simon, Joshua, Mary, Robert, Spencer, John and Charles Y. Caldwell. Children born in the late 1760/s, 1770s, 1780. Martha and Persis must have been sisters. Somewhere in the back of my mind seems like there was some speculation that a Daniel Young married Dorothy, daughter of Abel Croom. Abel Croom had a sister, Dorothy. Based on the below from Francis >>Just checked. There's a 1782 indenture between Daniel Young (ee) and >>Dorothy Young (or) for 100 acres on east side of Groundnut Creek. I think >>this is land which I currently own. I have Abe Croom Young as a witness. I think there has also been some speculation that Charles Young was married to Dorothy, sister to Abel, Major and Jesse Croom. The father of the Crooms in Goochland/Henrico Co, Va was Daniel Croom. Wonder if Daniel Young was a son of Charles and brother to Martha and Persis? Spencer Caldwell was the son of Robert and Winifred Watts Caldwell from SOmerset Co, Md. Robert died when Spencer was a small child and Winifred remarried Isaac Tull and they moved to Dobbs Co with her son Spencer Caldwell. Martha
