Boy, did this get my attention!! I too am researching a JASPER NEWTON YOUNG. But.......... My Jasper was found in Habersham County Georgia. He was killed in the civl war-story goes that he was killed in action-beheaded! His line is still being researched. Because I know so little yet about this direct line Young family, yet I may not be of any help. I have a feeling that these are two different Jasper Newton Youngs, but who knows. I can share with you what detail I do have -it is just fairly new to me, will have to review it first. I do know that the Habersham county Young line is found in census records and about 2 generations can be found in that county. Let me review material and will submit to the list for viewing. I can be contacted at [email protected] Judy Rountree Mason Rincon, Ga. desc. of Mary Emeline Young and Wiley T Herrin

Hello, Everyone -- I am new to this list and this is my first posting. JASPER NEWTON YOUNG was born in Georgia on October 20, 1834 and according to his CSA pension application, in 'Wilkerson'. This may be Wilkinson or Wilkes County since I cannot locate 'Wilkerson' in Georgia. He married MARGARET E. MASSEY on 1 May 1856 in Leake County, Mississippi, daughter of JOSEPH MASSEY, an itinerant Methodist preacher, and CATHERINE RAY. By 1860, Jasper and Margaret and two daughters were in Calcasieu Parish (Lake Charles area), Louisiana and he served under Captain Benjamin in the 1st Louisiana Cavalry during the Civil War. After the war, he and family moved to Polk County, Texas were he lived until his death at age 92 in 1927. Margaret died in 1871 and in 1873 Jasper married SARAH FRANCES PEEBLES, daughter of RILEY PEEBLES and SARAH RUNNELS, of Polk County, formerly of Henry County, Alabama. Frances died in 1893 and in 1894 Jasper then married MARY ANN MCKEE, daughter of JAMES MCKEE and MARTHA CATHERINE NICHOLSON. He fathered at least 20 children with these three women and has many descendents. He is my greatgrandfather and my brick wall! All census records where he is listed show him as born in Georgia and as having both parents born in Georgia. I am searching for information on his parents, grandparents, siblings, cousins -- anyone related to him. If any list member knows ANYTHING about JASPER NEWTON YOUNG or if any of these names are familiar to you, I would be most grateful to hear from you!! Regards, Jayne Young Manuel

I am interested in information on any YOUNGS who lived in Henry County or Jefferson County between about 1800 and 1820. The 1810 census had these heads of household in Henry County: William Young............>45 yo Joseph Young............>45 yo Joseph Young, jr.......26 - 44 yo Jas. Young..................>45 yo Samuel Young...........26 - 45 yo Does anyone recognize any of these men -- and did any of them leave Kentucky to settle just across the Ohio River in Warrick County? Thank you. Jody McKenney Thomson

I need any input on YOUNGS who lived in northern Kentucky perhaps between 1790 and 1820. I am especially looking at the cluster of counties: Bullitt, Hardin, Henry, Jefferson and Shelby -- and possibly even Breckenridge County. I am looking for the parents of Garrett YOUNG who was b. ca 1805 (+/- 5 years) and who settled first as a young married man in Warrick County, Indiana. It is possible that his parents had settled there from their original Kentucky home where he was born. So any family that you know of who might have had this immigration pattern (even if you don't recognize the given name of Garrett), I would like to know about! Garrett's children (that I know of) were Henry H., John M., James, Thomas, Cyrus, Garrett, and Barbara. Garrett had a brother named James W. b. ca 1818 in Indiana. Thank you., Jody

THOMAS YOUNG, a native of Virginia, after a residence of several years in Ohio, settled in this county in 1833, on the farm on which Jacob Shidler now resides, about a mile and a half west from the town of Boston. He had six children, four sons and two daughters; of whom only two sons, John F. and Thomas N., settled in this county. John F. married a daughter of Nathaniel McClure, Jun., of Wayne township, and after her death, (???) (???), of Ohio, also deceased. He resides in Richmond. Thomas N. also resides in Richmond.

I have extracted a few Youngs from a Civil War record, and am sending in hope they will help someone. Good Luck Source: Who was Who in the Civil War, by Stewart Sifakis YOUNG, Bennett H. (1843-1919) The raid of Lieutenant Bennett H. Young on St. Albans, Vermont led to a major international incident with Great Britain. The Kentucky-born Confederate officer had been authorized on June 16, 1864, to recruit a force of no more than 20 men from escaped Confederate prisoners in Canada. The so-styled 5th Company, Confederate States Retributors, was intended to launch raids against prisoner of war camps near the border. Having himself escaped from Camp Douglas near Chicago--where he had been confined after raiding with John Morgan in Ohio -- Young planned to hit the prison on Johnson's Island, Ohio. Forced to change his plans due to a leak, he led his 20 men on a raid against St. Albans. With perfect planning they looted three banks of a total of $201,522, while others gathered up any stray passers-by to prevent an alarm. However, a Union officer on leave managed to alert the town. In the action that followed one civilian and one raider were killed. In addition another four raiders were wounded; the balance then raced for the Canadian line with the citizens in hot pursuit. Violating international law, the posse crossed onto foreign soil and arrested the Confederate unit. On their return they were stopped by the Canadian authorities and forced to relinquish their 14 prisoners, including Young. Following two trials the Confederates were ruled to be belligerents engaged in legal military operations and released. This raised a howl of protest, especially since only $86,000 from the October 19, 1864 raid had been recovered. Young subsequently returned to Kentucky and took up the practice of law. Source: Who was Who in the Civil War, by Stewart Sifakis YOUNG, John Russell (1840-1899) One of the first correspondents to write an account of the Union disaster at 1st Bull Run, John R. Young became the managing editor of the Philadelphia Press the following year. A native of Ireland, he had come to America as an infant and in 1857 became a copy boy for the Press. His early war reporting gained him the editorial position which he held throughout the war. He was a cofounder of the Union League of Philadelphia and in the final months of the war worked on publicity for the national loan being managed by Jay Cooke. After some confidential European missions for various cabinet officials, Young became a foreign correspondent and editor for the New York Herald in 1872. While in London in 1877 former President Grant asked Young to accompany him on his round the world tour. This resulted in a close friendship with the ex-president and an introduction to the Far East. Young's account of the trip appeared as 'Around the World with General Grant' in 1879. Three years later, at Grant's urging, Young was named Minister to China and was highly successful in the difficult post. He later returned to the Herald and for the last two years of his life he was the Librarian of Congress. (Young, John Russell, Men and Memories) Source: Who was Who in the Civil War, by Stewart Sifakis YOUNG, Pierce Manning Butler (1836-1896) Resigning his cadetship at West Point in March 1861, three months before his scheduled graduation, P.M. B. Young joined the Confederacy and rose to be a major general. His services included: second lieutenant, Artillery (March 16, 1861); first lieutenant and aide de-camp (July 1861); first lieutenant and adjutant, Cobb's (Ga.) Legion (July 1861); lieutenant colonel, Cobb's Legion (November 1861); colonel, Cobb's Legion (November 1, 1862); brigadier general, CSA (September 28, 1863); commanding Butler's (old) Brigade, Hampton'sButler's Division, Cavalry Corps, Army of Northern Virginia (October 1863-November 1864); major general, CSA (December 30, 1864); commanding Iverson's (old) Division, Hampton's Cavalry Command, Department of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida (February 1865); and commanding Military District of Georgia and South Carolina, same department (March-April 1865). After service at Pensacola and on W. H. T. Walker's staff, the South Carolina-born and Georgia raised Young went to Virginia with the legion, eventually commanding the cavalry of the mixed branch unit. He fought at the Seven Days and was wounded at South Mountain. Recovering, he was at Fredericksburg, Brandy Station, and Gettysburg before being given a brigade. This he directed through the Overland and half of the Petersburg campaigns. Sent in November 1864 to secure remounts for his command, he was active against Sherman in the Augusta Savannah area. After the war he was a planter, congressman, and diplomatic representative to Russia, Guatemala, and Honduras. (Freeman, Douglas S., Lee's Lieutenants) Source: Who was Who in the Civil War, by Stewart Sifakis YOUNG, William Hugh (1838-1901) Less than two months after being named a brigadier general William H. Young's Confederate career came to an end when he was wounded and captured at Allatoona. Missouri-born and Texas-raised, he had been a student at the University of Virginia when the Civil War broke out. Recruiting a company, his later assignments included: captain, 9th Texas (September 1861); colonel, 9th Texas (ca. May 1862); commanding Ector's (old) Brigade, French's Division, Polk's-Stewart's Corps, Army of Tennessee (July-October 5, 1864); and brigadier general, CSA (August 15, 1864). He led his company at Shiloh and in the reorganization that spring he became the regiment's colonel. As such he served in the defense of Corinth, Mississippi, and in the Kentucky Campaign. Wounded at Murfreesboro, he recovered in time to lead his regiment under Joseph E. Johnston in the unsuccessful efforts to relieve the pressure on Vicksburg. He was again wounded at Jackson and at Chickamauga. Leading his regiment in the Atlanta Campaign, he was twice wounded at Kenesaw Mountain. Remaining in the field, he took over command of the brigade in July and the next month was named a brigadier general. In Hood's raids against Sherman's supply lines, Young was wounded and captured on October 5, 1864, at Allatoona, Georgia. He was confined on Johnson's Island, Ohio, until July 24, 1865. Thereafter he engaged in the practice of law and the real estate business. I would be very interested in any connections. Thanks Betty

Trying to find the relationship between Henry Young and wife Mary J. to Wiley Isacc Floyd and wife Rebecca Jane Polvado/Palvador Floyd. Both couples were living in the same house on the 1880 Census of Brazos County, Texas. Probably, this Henry Young had ties to Madison County, Texas. Will exchange information. Thanks in advance!
