    1. [YOUNG] Young surname
    2. These are the final ones left in the book History of Warren Cty. Ohio. Hope it helps someone. Hannah Young >From the book History of Warren County Ohio, page 1028. This bio. is on : Robert Whitacre (deceased). Robert, one of the earliest settlers in the southern part of the county, emigrated to and settled near the mouth of Todd's Fork, in the yrs. 1805, he was of English descent, his father John having emigrated from England about the yr. 1750. Robt. was married three times, 1st Sarah Roach, one son Jonas, 2nd Hannah Young who died without issue, 3rd Patience McKay, by whom he had 7 children, Andrew, John, Priscilla, Jane, Aquilla, Rhoda, and Moses. There is a full page about this person. Since they had no children it did not seem to serve the Young surname any purpose to be added here. Anyone wanting to know more about the husband of Hannah this is Vol II. A note here, in our genealogy library where you cannot check out the books it was all one book. In the section for books available to check out it was 2 separate books. I do not know how your library will have them, if at all. Matthias, Robert & Robert R. >From the book History of Warren County Ohio At this point I don't know if Robt. & Robt. R. happens to be the same person or not.

They commenced building a church soon after their organization and until it was completed held their services in the union church. A lot was donated to them by William H. Clement, which they afterwards sold and purchased the lot where the church now stands. The church now numbers 240 members. As the early records of the society are lost, only a few of the more recent incumbents of the pastorate can be named. Rev. N. C. Parrish from Aug. 29, 1870, 3 yrs.; Rev.

A successful Sunday School, under present Superintendency of G. W. Davis, is conducted in connection with the church. It averages in attendance about 175 scholars. Youngs, Benjamin S. >From the book History of Warren County Ohio This one has as you can see an s on the end. Comes from Chapter V. Early Schools and churches. It seems to be about the religious practices of the area. What I have read of this chapter is informative. Page 267 subtitled The Great Revival of 1801, 1802, 1803, And The Introduction Of Shakerism. I will start and copy this from the pages of 272 & 273. If this is your family the article is informing. If you have any Shaker relatives on your trees this is a good chapter to read. Actually Benjamin Youngs is mentioned by name on page 272, and 273 although does not use his name is says "the missionaries" and as he was introduced as one of the three. I am thinking this meant him as well. On the 22nd of March 1805, there arrived at Turtle Creek 3 strangers with broad brimmed hats and a fashion of dress like that of the followers of George Fox, in England a generation before. They were John Meacham, Benjamin S. Youngs, and Issachar Bates, the 1st of the sect of Ann Lee ever seen west of the Alleghany Mountains. They had set out from New Lebannon, N. Y., on Jan. 1, and had made a journey of 1,000 miles on foot. They had already visited Ky., but had not fully proclaimed their principles or objects. Nowhere did they find the conditions so favorable for carrying out the purposes of their mission as at Turtle Creek. The Shaker missionaries at Turtle Creek went first to the house of Malcham Worley, where they remained over night. The next day they visited Richard McNemar, who says that this was the first means by which he knew that such a people as Sharkers existed upon earth. He was soon to become a member and a leader in the sect. The next day was Sunday, and by permission of McNemar, 2 of the strangers attended the Turtle Creek Church and occupied the pulpit. Page 273 2nd paragraph The missionaries were successful elsewhere. They established several communities both in Ohio and Ky. Judy Born with a twelve foot question, looking for a six inch answer.
