Thanks, much. I had the reference to Der Morgenstern (The Morning Star) before, but not the Encampment reference. There are several comments about Joseph Young in the Doylestown Legal Intelligencer during the middle 1800's, after he left Doylestown. Joseph Young's son, John S. Young, ran a photography shop in Doylestown on-and-off from about 1861 to 1870 (when he died in Philadelphia). He apparently traveled back and forth from Philadelphia to Doylestown regularly. He was married in Philadelphia to Anna (Annie) Lilley in 1860. However, he had advertisements in the Doylestown Legal Intelligencer for his photopraphy shop near the courthouse in various years of the 1860's. He had some of their children baptized in Doylestown during the middle 1860's. They were living in Philadelphia for the 1st enumeration of the 1870 census, June 15th. He died in Philadelphia just 7 days later, June 22, 1870. Joseph Young's parents are the illusive ones, known to us as John Young and Elizabeth (?). Joseph's daughter, Catherine, mentions in her memoirs that her YOUNG family was an "old Bucks County family who lived in the same home for several generations." This conflicts with the historical reference that Joseph Young was from Lehigh County. Unless.....the "old Bucks County family" comment from Catherine refers to the fact that Lehigh County was carved from old original Bucks County (as was Northampton). The search goes on! Thanks, again. Dennis
