YOUNG who lived in Warrick County at the time of the 1830 census and the other YOUNGS who lived there. By 1840 Garrett had moved north to Parke County, Indiana - and before your ancestor married in 1854 in Warrick County, Garrett was either dead or he had deserted his family who was living in Jasper County, Missouri. It looks as though Garrett YOUNG'S probable brother, James W. (b. 1818 in Indiana), was a carpenter and that at least two of his son, Henry H (b. 1824 in Indiana) and John M. (b. 1825 in Indiana) were also carpenters. I would imagine that this was a trade learned "at their father's knee"so to speak. Garrett YOUNG'S wife was Susannah CROOKS who was b. 1805 in Jefferson County, Kentucky (just across the Ohio River from Indiana), but by the time that she & Garrett were married in 1823, her family had moved to Knox County, Indiana which is where they were married. I believe - but don't know - that the CROOKS and the YOUNGS must have known each other in Kentucky. It is possible that they settled in Knox County together and that it was after the marriage that Garrett moved south to Warrick County. I wish that I could be more helpful. I know the "grasping at straws all too well!" Jody
