Hi, Celia, Interesting! Did I send the second message about Jackson Youngs? Or where did that come from? Do you suppose the guy's name could have been Andrew Jackson Youngs? It seems to have been a common thing to give names such as that after "famous" people. We have several descendants of Samuel and Mary (Ames) Rudd on the list. Let's ask them to do a roll call of which of Samuel's children they're descended from. Okay, cousins? Joann Celia G.
