MARTIN born in North Carolina, married to Mary M. YOUNG. When William M. Martin died in Henderson Co TN in 1870, his under age children were all listed in court records as under the guardianship of B. J. YOUNG. It would appear that B. J. YOUNG is the brother of my ancestor Mary M. Young, Mrs. W.M. Martin. B.J. Young and his wife Druzilla, and their son are buried in Henderson Co TN at the Caffrey Cemetery, records are online.
