To Michael and Adams Co. researchers, My YOUNGs came from Adams Co., near West Union, where they had lived for three or more generations. My g-grandfather and grandmother, Addison YOUNG and Ella Jane (HOLLIDAY) YOUNG went to northwest KS: Norton, Rooks, and Graham Co., KS in the 1880s, living for a few years in Missouri along the way. Addison's Adams County parents were George YOUNG and Betsy McGARY, and Ella Jane's parents were Rebecca WAMSLEY and James Templin HOLLIDAY. Both the YOUNGs and McGARYs had been in Adams Co. since the early 19th century. James T. HOLLIDAY was b. in PA, and moved to Adams Co. OH as an adult (and later to KS also), but Rebecca WAMSLEY was part of the large WAMSLEY family that lived for years in Adams Co. OH. I'm sending this to the Adams Co. list also, in hopes someone there will see my post. Is anyone else researching these families? Michael, tell my who your YOUNG ancestors are, and I can look them up in my most valuable genealogy book, "Our Young Family in America," which is about my YOUNG family. YOUNG is a common name, so tell me dates and places as well as names.
