I am interested in finding information on the family of Thomas Young and Frances W. Mason who were married in Caroline County on December 23, 1823. I believe Frances was a daughter of William [sometimes Willis] Mason and Sally Kelly. Frances was born c. 1800 and was still living as of August 7, 1850, the date of the census. Thomas had evidently died prior to that date. Frances and Thomas had at least five children, listed below: 1) Sarah W. Young: b.c. 1828. Married Isaac Lee Eubank on December 20, 1852. They had no children. Sarah died, probably c. 1856. Isaac remarried some time between September 19, 1857, and March 5, 1858. His second wife was Virginia E. Dyson, a daughter of James Dyson and Sarah Mason. Sarah Mason was a sister of Frances Mason Young, so Sarah W. Young and Virginia Dyson would have been first cousins. 2) Paulina E. Young: b.c. 1831. No further information 3) Eliza Jane Young: b.c. 1834 (Possibly on February 25). Married Woodford Edward Long (b.c. 1828) in 1853. They had two known children, both of whom died young: James, b.c. 1858, d. August 1862; and Morgan, b.c. December 1863, died May 1864. Eliza died in Caroline County on October 28, 1885. Woodford survived her. 4) Joseph W. Young: b.c. 1837. Enlisted in the Caroline Light Artillery as a corporal on July 23, 1861, at Bowling Green. Promoted to sergeant c. July 23, 1862. Paroled at Richmond April 21, 1865. Working as a carpenter in Caroline County in 1882. 5) Mary E. Young: b.c. 1839. Married Henry H. Young (b. August 1, 1841). [Henry was a son of Maynard Dyson and Agnes Long, and Agnes was a sister of Woodford Long who had married Eliza Young.] Mary and Henry had six known children: Nellie F., b.c. 1865; Joseph T., c. 1868 - December 12, 1893; Idella L., b. April 1870; Henry Walter, April 1873; an unnamed son b.c. 1877, died in 1877 at the age of seven months, and Fannie W. Dyson, born c. 1879. Mary E. Young Dyson died in Caroline County November 16, 1881. Henry remarried, probably c. 1883, to Ann W. [ ? Dyson ?] and had at least twelve more children. He committed suicide in Caroline County February 10, 1915. When did Frances Mason Young die? When was Thomas Young born and when did he die? Were there more children than the five listed above? Did Joseph W. Young have a son named Edgar W. Young born c. 1859? I would appreciate hearing from anyone who might be able to answer any of these questions, or add anything at all to what I have regarding this family.
