    1. The B. J. Young family
    2. Lilly
    3. My ancestor is William M. Martin b. 1826 NC, married to Mary M. Young b. 1825 NC. Mary M. Young is the sister of Bassalia J. Young. Both the Martin family and the Young family left Rockingham Co NC to settle in Henderson Co TN. The 1850 census of Henderson Co TN, district 7, page 164 shows 2 YOUNG families listed. Since both of those families are also buried at the same Cemetery, that of the Caffey Cemetery in Henderson Co TN, I would assume that the 2 families are related. Because the 1850 census, which is online and Free access, is listed by Alphabetical order, and not family order, I will have to do some guesswork to split the 2 families into correct grouping. Family #1: Barzilla, or Barzella, aka Bassalia J. or aka B. J. Young. b. 1-18-1815 NC d. 1-7-1894 He is married to Druzilla H. Young b. 6-1-1817 NC d. 10-3-1887 Both Buried at Caffey Cem. Joseph M. Young b. 1846 TN d. 11-10-1865 (Caffey Cem.) Robert C. Young b. 1840 TN John Watson Young b. 11-1-1843 d. 3-31-1922, m. Judy b. 8-23-1844 , buried at Caffey Cemetery, with 2 infants. Family #2: John S. Young b. 1803 NC d. 12-25-1864 (Caffey Cem.) Margaret Young b. 1812 NC John D. Young b. 2-28-1832 TN d. 7-24-1857 (Caffey Cemetery) Mary E. Young b. 1839 TN Joseph Young b. 1840 TN Alfred P. Young b. 1844 TN James Young b.1845 TN Sarah E. Young b. 1846 TN Dillen A. Young b. 1848 TN G. A. Young b. 1849 TN (female) The following names are either kids of John S. Young, or kids of Bassalia J. Young. these names and birth dates come from the 1850 census at Henderson Co TN: Emily J. Young b. 1836 TN Malinda Young b. 1842 TN Zylpha Young b. 1834 TN William Young b. 1832 NC If someone could please help me to know which of these kids belong to John and which belong to B.J. Please note the date of 1832, I believe this must signal the move from Rockingham Co NC to Henderson Co TN. My ancestor William M. Martin died in Henderson Co TN in 1870, and then his wife and kids moved by 1878 to Navarro Co TX. They moved to Henderson Co TN about 1853. The children of William M. Martin and Mary M. Young were: Harriet, Mary Caroline, Bailey, Samson/Ramson, Joseph Allen, William B., Isabella, Druzilla, and George Wesley Martin. When William M. Martin died in 1870 B.J. Young was appointed guardian of the minor children. My ancestor is Joseph Allen Martin b. 1857 TN, married Nancy Elizabeth Doolen of Navarro Co TX, they settled at Sunset, Montague Co TX and my grandfather was their son Joseph Alfred Martin b. 1899 Sunset. TX. He worked for the Lone Star Gas Co of TX for 43 yrs. Would like to hear from any researchers of this family line. Best regards, Lilly Martin
