William was born in Laurens Co., SC and died in Greenwood, SC. I have been unable to find any additional information back beyond William, including his siblings, although the 1880 census of Youngs, Laurens Co. does list a 7 yr old William having parents "John" and "Jane." Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
