I found this old Austin County archive message and it would not send to the address above. Alexander Young married Margaret A. Granville, d/o Benjamin Granville and Nancy Grimes Benton. Nancy was the daughter of George Grimes and Eurydice Gardner. George Grimes was the son of Jacob Grimes and Catherine Miller d/o Frederick Miller of Rowan County NC. Eurydice Gardner b. 1784 Bertie Co. NC was the daughter of John Gardner and Elizabeth James m. Bertie County NC 1780. Elizabeth was the daughter of Edward James and had brothers named Edwin and Emmanuel. Emmanuel married Patience Gardner, d/o of James Gardner. Miles H. Young married Margaret Granville's sister Abigail Granville and he was born in 1828 in SC. Mathew Alexander Young (Alex) was born in 1840 in Alabama. I am not sure if they were brothers. I have some information that may trace them back to Laurens County SC, to Duncan's Creek. A man by the name of George Young who married a McCrary. I also descend from these McCrary's of Duncan's Creek. This George Young was the son of Major Samuel Young. The Youngs were among the first settlers in this area in the 1750's. It is believed that the whole group may have come from Pennsylvania. Betty Meischen Bellville, Austin County, Texas
