Young had a brother Col. James Young, both of CIVIL WAR times. It was only yesterday (March 21st) that I was able to tie Samuel to James, through Col. James Young's obit in the Middletown Journal. They also had two sisters, Mrs. Sarah Young Hubley and Mrs. Lena (?) Young Miller Samuel's obit was mis-headed, stating Mrs. Samuel Young, and I nearly missed it. He lived in Steelton, moved out of Pennsylvania and lived in Nebraska for some time, then died on Chamber Hill Road while visiting a son there December 24, 1898. > My Sam did not stay in PA long as he served with the VA malitia at the > battle of King's Mountain in the fall of 1880. > Would you have any info or connections to Capt Samuel Young or any of > this line? > > Thanks > J. Ray Young I have no details on Samuel's family other than his direct connection to my wife Katie's aunt Alice Young Wealand. His cemetery stone doesn't give too many details, other than his Civil War connection. -- Regards, with regrets to Netscape6 users (what a mess!)
