    1. [NYOTSEGO] YOUNG _ GUYWITS Cemetery Mystery
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: NYBillie Surnames: Young, Guywits, Guiwits Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.otsego/4873/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Capt.Elias Young b1825 - d 1883, m Lucinda Guywits b abt 1836 - d 1897 Capt. Elias Young is my 3x great grandfather. He is buried in the Van Hornesville Cemetery. According to Lucinda's obit she was laid to rest next to her husband, Capt. Elias Young. When visiting the cemetery I found Capt. Elias Young's grave and marker. Assuming the one next to him would be Lucinda I was surprised to see a stone marked Elias Young(s). So there are 2 stones with the name Elias, one Young, the other Youngs, and no Lucinda. To add to the mystery, both Elias's died in the same month, same year, but different day. Does anyone have any idea how I might find out the story behind the two stones and where Lucinda might be buried? I have talked to the local church which has no records. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
