    1. [YOUNG] John Young
    2. dondracek
    3. I am researching a JOHN YOUNG b. 1847 Old Parish, Greenock Scotland who with his wife Elizabeth Crawford b. 1848 Eastwood, Renfrew, Scotland and child Margaret Algie came to the New York in 1871. Settled in Ashland WI. John's parents were Thomas and Margaret Doak Young of Govan Lanark, Scotland. Thomas's parents were James and Elizabeth Davison Young of Stevenston, Ayr, Scotland. I have additional information but am interested in anyone else who might be interested in these individuals. Don Ondracek

    1. [YOUNG] new subscriber
    2. Well, yes, I'm new to this list.........but I've heard about you! :>) My line is through John Young who married Millie Thompson. Here's all the info I've heard on them. Milly was apparently the daughter of John Thompson and his full-blood Cherokee wife, Anewake. They had a reservation of 640 acres right on the Tennessee River in Alabama (which they would probably have gotten in about 1819, 'though they may already have been living there before it was called a reservation). They raised livestock and ran a ferry. I have heard that their land may have been the site of the early Ft. Deposit used by Andrew Jackson as a staging area to battle the Creeks around the time of the War of 1812. John and Millie (Thompson) Young had two daughters (among other children) who I think were named Millie and Nancy Mary. I'm descended from both girls. I haven't been able to trace back any further than John and Anewake Thompson, and I don't know who John Young's ancestors were either. If anyone has info on these folks, I'd been spittin' happy to have it. Don't worry....you're downwind and outta range. :>) Love, your cousin (more or less) Jeanette Sartain p.s. Here are my research names (some have lots of different spellings): Feel free to contact me if we share any. I'd love to hear from you. Arundel, Box, Corbell, Bull, Byrd, Conyers, Cowan, Cranford, Crider, Eaks, Erwin, Eubank(s), Gilbreath/Galbraith, Griffith/Griffey, Hargrove, Hay(s), Jackson, Lee, Lucas, Martin, McGuire, Meredith, Miller, Musgrave, Nolen, Oslin, Prigmore, Rowe, Smith, Thompson, Townley, Walden, Watters, Whisenhunt/Whisenant/Visanant, White, Wilkes, Wingfield, YOUNG.

    1. [YOUNG] Castle's Woods, the Laggan and Siege of Londonderry
    2. On May 27th John Giacoletti and I travel to Northern Ireland to begin a three week trip to research those families who defended Derry during the great siege. While rootsweb claims to have in excess of 20,000 surname lists we are interested in less than one hundred. That is the approximate number of families we have found that have roots both at Derry and King's Mountain and it is the migration of these families from Ulster to the Carolinas by way of Pennsylvania, Virgina and other places that we wish to explore. I could not be happier with my travelling companion who by all accounts is a scholar. John and I both attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He received a M.A there in 17th Century British literature and for two years was a Wilson Library Fellow and assistant to the Curator of Rare Books. For his thesis he did a manuscript attribution study and gained great skill in reading the Elizabethan hand. I was a business major and am included on this trip because I drive well on the left side of the road!! In order to help the researcher gain a better understanding of his or her Ulster roots three documents have been offered to the lists during the past few months. The first and by all accounts the most popular, has been the thesis by Professor James W. Hagy entitled, "Castle's Woods: Frontier Virginia Settlement, 1769-1799 published 1966 at East Tennessee St. University. The importance of Castle's Woods is twofold. First, it had its day of importance as a stepping stone to the West and secondly, it is important as a case study of the American frontier. I actually located Professor Hagy a month or so ago, thirty-seven years after he wrote this thesis and had a nice conversation with him. The second item offered was a two book set by the Reverend Alexander Lecky; "The Laggan and its Presbyterianism" and "In the Days of the Laggan Presbytery" published in Belfast 1905 and 1908. The Laggan is the area between the river Foyle and the upper reaches of Lough Swilly, and extending in one direction from Lifford to Letterkenny. It formed the most productive and desireable portion of the ancient territory of Tyrconnell. These books represent the first published source of early settlers (Presbyterian elders) arranged by Parish and TOWNLAND. To know who sat in the pew next to you is really exciting if you are researching allied families of your direct line. I will not list all the names of the people listed in Lecky's books except to say that if I send this post to your list it is because a person with the same surname is listed as an elder in the Appendix. The last and most detailed offering is titled, "A History of the Siege of Londonderry and Defence of Enniskillen in 1688 and 1689, with Historical Poetry and Biographical Notes, & by the Reverend John Graham, M.A., Rector of Migilligan, in the Diocese of Derry. The Battles of the Boyne, Athlone, and Aughrim, the Siege and Capitulation of Limmerick, by Lord McCaulay., Toronto, McClear & Publishers, 1869. What a title!! They don't write em like that any more. I sacrificed my copy to the copy machine as it was in poor condition and now it is for all purposes destroyed, but it copied really well. From the forward we read the following: "In bringing out a new edition of Mr. Graham's narrative of the Siege of Derry, and enhancing its value by descriptions from Lord McCaulay's graphic pen, the publishers conceive that they are conferring a benefit upon the reading public of Canada-for the events which these pages record are such as we do not willingly let die. Apart altogether from the political and religious aspects of the question, the romance of history never had a fairer theme. Truth is proverbially stranger than fiction, and never did the all-exiting elements of truth gather in sterner compression than around these memorable hundred days. What fiction ever imagined excitements and sensations more thrilling? and yet they are no morbid fancies of the distempered brain, but events which actually happened, events from whose enactment and results, the destinies of a nation were changed." I will keep sending these documents to as many people as want them up until May 1st. Contact me at cscunc@aol.com for details. Upon our return all findings will be posted to our website (under construction) and the lists will be notified. It is not possible to remain on all of the lists all of the time so feel free to contact us at cscunc@aol.com if you have any specific questions. Thanks to those people who sent us e-mails so far with their family lines that tie to Derry and King's Mountain. Regards, Robert Cowan John Giacoletti

    1. [YOUNG] Youngs: Virginia to Kentucky to Illinois to Missouri
    2. I. Generation One John Young born ca 1781 in Pennsylvania, later moved to Virginia. Married Jane Grinter, daughter of John and Elizabeth Hill Grinter (possibly in Prince Edward County, Virginia). Later moved to Logan County, Kentucky. II. Generation Two John Henry Young Born 1816 (Prince Edward County, Virginia or Logan County, Kentucky). Married Margaret Ewing (Daughter of James and Mary Howard Ewing) July 25, 1836 in Butler County, Kentucky. Since James was dead by this time, her brother, Nathaniel, gave consent for the marriage. Margaret died December 11, 1842 and was apparently buried in Kentucky. John Henry Young then married Susan E. Britt on December 7, 1848 in Logan County, Kentucky. They moved to McLean County, Illinois October 10, 1851. Children of John Henry and Margaret: Paralee (born around 1840 in Logan County, Kentucky). John William Young born August 17, 1841 in Logan County, Kentucky. Children of John Henry and Susan: Bolin Francis Young was born August 14, 1852 in McLean County, Illinois. Mary Jane Young was born August 7, 1861 in McLean County, Illinois (died two years later) Lou Anna Young was born around 1857 in McLean County, Illinois. In 1867 John Henry (Susan had apparently died) moved to Bates County, Missouri with the younger children. There he married again (December 20, 1867) to Sarah A. Mills and had three more children (including a set of twins) that all apparently died young. John Henry Young died September 1, 1878 in Bates County, Missouri. Anyone have any connections with these Youngs?

    3. I thought (maybe) this would be of interest. Thank you for using FamilySearch Internet. We do not know yet if and when the 1930 census will be available on the site. It will be posted in the "news". We appreciate your comment and thank you for your feedback. Your message#72891 I hope you will produce an indexed 1930s Census, as you did for the 1880 census. With all the apparent confusion it will start, it would be a great help. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------ This message may contain confidential information, and is intended only for the use of the individual(s) to whom it is addressed. ============================================================ ==================

    1. [YOUNG] YOUNG Family of Spartanburg, S. C. area
    2. We are attempting to learn something of JULIET YOUNG'S family of the Spartanburg area. She was born about 1802, and married WILLIAM P. GADBERRY, also of Spartanburg. She may have had a brother, J. R. YOUNG of Spartanburg. Both families moved to Yazoo County, Mississippi about 1825. This is our first visit to the YOUNG LIST, so we would be grateful for any scrap of information or suggestions. Gratefully Harold

    1. [YOUNG] Fountain Young/Martha Ross - Young family with Grant Co KY ties?
    2. Mary Young
    3. I have been searching for my husband's Young line for a long time now. I discovered this worldconnect file, and have been unable to locate the submitter. I believe this family is the missing link to my husband's line. http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=maribel&id=I1178 This is the file of Fountain Young and Martha Ross. They had a son, John Walker Young, whom I believe lived in Grant Co Kentucky at one point and whom I believe to be the father of Landy Walker Young, born approximately 1893 in Corinth Kentucky. Landy was apprenticed out at the age of 10 or so to a man named George Updyke in Grant Co, Kentucky. His mother was listed as Armelda Young on his marriage certificate, and his father listed as John Young. I did locate Armelda Young in the 1900 Grant Co Census record, and she was only listed with a few of her six living children. The rest were living with other families. Armelda was also listed with an Elizabeth Greene - possibly her mother. The main problem I'm having is that I cannot find many records in Grant Co. Perhaps it's because I'm an inexperienced researcher, or perhaps it's because it's just not there. I noticed the family of Fountain Young were concentrated mostly in Kenton and Campbell counties, however, Fountain's sons (Clarence Linden, James N., and John Walker) were mentioned in several documents I found. I also found reference to the death of a Bernard Young who died at the home of Linden in Crittenden Kentucky, and was cousins of James N. and Walker Young - 1899. I hope this all makes sense, and would appreciate anyone out there who might have insight on this family or another possible connection to please email me. Thank you! ~ Mary (Clark) Young _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
