Louise, I don't know anything about the Young family. However, my Bert/Burt/Bertrand/Burtram Smith was a farm laborer in the household of David Young in the 1860 Wilson County census. I've had so much trouble determining Bert's parents or siblings (although I suspect Josephus H Smith might be his brother) and decided to pursue the possibility that David's wife, Elizabeth, might be kin to Bert somehow. Would you happen to know anything about David Young? Following is that 1860 census information: 1860 Lockporte, Dist 6, Wilson Co., TN p. 304: David Young 32 M/Farmer/Real Property $7000/Personal $1320/b.TN. Elizabeth Young 33 F/b.VA. Francis Young 16 F/TN. David E. Young 13 M/TN/school in yr. Adaline Young 11 F/TN/school in yr. Bertrand Smith 25 M/Farm Laborer/TN.
