Hello, I have seen all of the recent activity, so thought I would add my line to the list. Please let me know if anyone recognizes this Talbot County, Georgia, line of YOUNGBLOODs. Thanks, Bill === Descendants of Joseph Youngblood 1 Joseph YOUNGBLOOD 2 Walter P. YOUNGBLOOD +Ethel SMTIH 3 Marvin James YOUNGBLOOD b: September 20, 1915 d: March 06, 1980 +Carolyn Virginia MILLER b: March 10, 1918 in Woodland, Talbot County, Georgia d: January 01, 1987 in Woodland, Talbot County, Georgia

Looking for info on wife of Albert Youngblood, he is listed with children, James A. b 1823 and William T. b 1825 Need a name of wife and any other info on her. Albert is son of Benjamin Youngblood and Susannah Collins. Charlie

Charlie, Albert W. YOUNGBLOOD b: 11 Jan 1800 GA, d: 24 Oct 1825, m: Lillian TONEY d/o William M. and Mary TONEY. One of Albert's sisters, Nancy, married one of Lillian's brothers, Charles. (Per Elma Henning, co-author of "The TONEY Family History" p496 and Reba Holmes Brown, author "The YOUNGBLOOD Family" p5) Joyce P.S. Reba listed Nancy Youngblood's husband as Benjamin. She discovered the error after the book had gone to print. I have a letter written by Ben Toney to Velma Beuerle attesting to Nancy Y and Charles T's union. Ben Toney is their gr. gr. grandson.

Would appreciate any information regarding Joseph Youngblood and family that are listed on the 1850 census of Dallas County, Missouri as follows: Joseph Youngblood, age 53, born South Carolina Violet, age 32, born Tennessee James (age 20 or 25, hard to read!) born Tennessee William, age 18, born TN Joseph, age 15, born TN Nancy, age 1, born Illinois Henry Tunis, age 35, born TN Next door to Joseph is Marion Youngblood, age 23, born TN, and his wife Salor, or Sulor age 25, born NC I believe that the James Youngblood, listed in the household of Joseph, is the same James Youngblood that appears on the 1870 census of Independence County, Arkansas in 1870. Would appreciate anyone who can confirm this. The James in Independence County had sons Meredith (in later records referred to as Marion F.) and Newton F. Youngblood, who lists his fathers place of birth as Illinois on the 1900 and 1910 federal censuses. Any information would be appreciated.

In the book "THE STORY OF MOSES COLLINS 1785-1858 AND HIS DESCENDANTS, page 399 reads: There seems to be another Moses Collins at this time, the Moses Collins of Richmond County, Georgia. Moses Collins is recorded as buying land in Richmond County on 13 Sept 1796 with Benjamin and Jacob Youngblood as witnesses. There is more and if you want me to print the entire pages (about 2) I will be happy to do so. It is about this Moses Collins. It lists a daughter Susannah b. 16 May 1775. My "Moses Collins" book is not about the same Moses Collins who is Susannah Collins' father, but the author, A. O. Collins, does mention him.

Cousins, A further clarification of the two letters to "Mrs. Oliver" I posted previously. This comes by way of correspondence between Mrs. Reba HOLMES BROWN and Velma BRASSELL BEUERLE. July 31, 1973 from Reba to Velma, "You ask about the story of the Indian blood of Susannah YOUNGBLOOD. I have heard that, too. Mrs. Oliver attempted to investigate it. She wrote a lawyer, W. T. Weir, of Philadelphia, MS in 1954, and he replied that "Poor Davis (or Davie) is listed on page 136 of Volume 7 of American State Papers. He had 20 acres of land in cultivation a the time and was awarded 120 acres." Reba continues, "I mentioned this "Poor Davie" or "Davis" to my Norwood cousin in Greenville, SC, who is a lawyer and a native South Carolinian, and he feels that rather than such tradition, we could have in our background the Poores and the Davies, both prominent South Carolina families. ... Am sending you a copy of some correspondence between Eugenia OLIVER (This is the Mrs. E. C. Oliver I mistakenly identified as Oliner.) and two women in Tylertown, MS. The Aisley COLLINS who m: Elias WOODRUFF is supposed to have had a sister named Susannah, who married Benj. YOUNGBLOOD. I may be badly mistaken in this, but until something documented proves it to me, I am still doubting. In the context of the letter, I'm not sure if she's doubting the Indian tradition, the South Carolina connection possibilities, or Susannah being a sister of Elias W. and marrying Benj. Y. Yes, I know that Susannah COLLINS and Benj. YOUNGBLOOD married. However, I am looking at the transcript of Moses COLLINS, Sr.'s Bible and there is no Elias written as a brother to Susannah. (This Bible's has family records from 1750 to 1888.) More to chew on! Joyce Zachman

Yes my name is Semone McAlpine I sent you a message last week about the youngblood family in MS with Indian hertiage. I was wondering did you have any more info about those families, because I am defiently come from the youngblood's in MS with Indian hertiage, also this set of Youngbloods are black and are from Hickory, MS.

Hi, I am very interested in the Penn. Youngblood's. I'm looking for a Thomas Youngblood who I believe came from that area. He was born in 1770. I been going crazy tring to find his father or anything to help me. He was frist found in Ohio in 1805 then moved to Michigan in 1837. If you could tell me anything it would be a great help.

Cousins, Reviewing my E-mails over the past few days, I noticed that I sent the following to Cozette and neglected to copy to the list. For what it's worth, here 'tis. Reba, in her words, "compiled" her book, "The Youngblood Family" recording mostly demographic information (names, marriages, births, deaths); there are a limited number of actual records or letters. I found only the following references to Indian heritage. (I include more information rather than less in case you wish to pursue to find yet more information. Y is Youngblood.) In a letter to Mrs. Eugenia CLARK OLIVER (d/o Lucy Ann Y. LAMPTON) from Mary LAMPTON REID dated 8 Apr 1936. "If it is not asking too much I should like to read the letter written by a BRUMFIELD descendant telling some Indian stories, the same as had been told us concerning the 'Granny Manning,' Susanna Youngblood and Elsie WOODRUFF....A granddaughter of Elsie WOODRUFF, Mrs. W. A. DANIELS, lives here (Magnolia, MS), and may possibly give some additional information. This Elsie WOODRUFF who m: a COLLINS was a great friend of my grandmother LAMPTON." In a letter from Mrs. Susie BRUMFIELD WARING (gr d/o Hanna Ann Y) to Mrs. OLIVER, dated 28 Jan 1936. " ... but some things I do remember was what Grandmother (reference to Hanna Ann Y) used to tell us about their troubles with the Indians. Yes, she told us about some Indians." (She continues to relate incidents with Indians, but nothing that would indicate a relation.) I can tell you that for many years, I have heard that our YOUNGBLOOD family has some Indian heritage. However, after looking over the many records, I just don't see it. I did have an interesting experience recently while on a genealogy expedition in MS. My cousin and I stopped in an area near Pulaski and struck up a conversation with the men picking peas. Told them we were looking for ancestor connections in the area and mentioned Youngbloods (among others). "Oh," one said, "you looking for the Indian families?" Surprised me! So, It seems to be common knowledge (even outside the Y family) in the community that Youngbloods are somehow connected with Indian heritage. I haven't found any in this Y lineage. Regards, Joyce

Because you asked how I got all that family history: I began when I was 27 years old (am in my early 60's now) by interviewing my 82 year old grandfather, and his sister-in-law, both of whom grew up in Rocky Comfort, MO. I asked them to tell me everything they knew about their ancestors, and I wrote down everything they said. Grandpa's Mother died when he was born, and she was the Youngblood. Both of them knew her brother, (Bryant Hardy Youngblood), and his wife, and together could piece together the names of their children, and that's all they knew. Grandpa knew that his parents were married in Mayfield, KY, and he had his mother's birthdate and death date. Though the Mayfield 1852 records had burned, a part of the birth records for the latter part of that year were intact, and a copy was found in Salt Lake City, and I found the announcement of his mother's birth there, with the names of her parents. What luck! I then found the parents listed in the Mayfield, Graves County census record for 1850 in Salt Lake, and they had been married within the last year, and were living with her parents, the Williams family. Now I knew the name of Alfred Youngblood, and I searched census records for 1860's, 1870's etc, in KY and MO for that family, and found them in Bollinger County, MO and later the family, without Alfred with them, back in Mayfield. I thought then he might have died in the war, so I looked up Civil War records, and found his in that library, and learned he had been killed. I found books about Youngbloods in that LDS library, and one especially, the Maberry book had names very like some of ours seen in the census records, and they were MO. people, only living in Ray County, near Bollinger, so I wrote the author, and also several of the Youngblood researchers the author had interviewed for his book. He had listed their addresses. I heard from one of those researcher's only, and she was a descendant of Mary Magdalene Youngblood, the 6th child of Wm., and she had all the family history sheets on Alfred and William. She also had the Civil War records on Alfred Youngblood, and the application letters written by Alfred's wife and her mother-in-law to Washington D.C. to try to get a widow's pension for her and her 7 children. She had to prove that these children were hers. Her mother-in-law, Elizabeth Garret, a midwife, had delivered all of them, and had not properly registered their births, so it took quite a few letters before Alfred's widow finally was able to receive her pension. I was sent copies of all the correspondence which this researcher had secured from Civil War Pension records in Washington D.C. I also looked up Civil War military records on all of William's sons while in Salt Lake, and found that two sons fought for the North, and the three youngest ones, for the South. I found, through the LDS library, on either their AF, or IGI, (are those the right initials?), some of the names that were on the sheets that I had been given by the descendant of Mary Magdalene Youngbood. This was on my 2nd and last trip to Salt Lake. I copied down who submitted the information I found there, and wrote to these people, and through that heard from researchers on the lines of William O. B. Youngblood and James M. Youngblood, so I learned all about their descendants. One informer I wrote to was actually an LDS missionary working in the library during the time I was there visiting, only I didn't know that at the time. She had been there helping people with their genealogy for two years. I found that out when I returned home, and wrote to her. She called me on the telephone answering my letter. In trying to find the parents of our William, she had had research done by a genealogist at the library, and she sent me his sheet listing 10 possible fathers of our William Youngblood. When I got a computer, I spelled Youngblood on Yahoo.com, and got Wayne Youngblood's website that way, and read what he wrote about this family, and on Youngblood-L@rootsweb.com, I found Dorothy Quaife, who answered some of my queries, and these lead me to finding the "Thomas Youngblood Family" written by Margaret Ann Cloys and Ollis Smith, and one of these is Wayne Youngblood's great Aunt. Anyway, all this line that I had already learned about is listed almost perfectly in it, and with a few additional facts I had previously not known. The hard thing about it all is that we still don't know who William's parents are, and we aren't even sure that William belongs in this book right now. He must belong there, but how come his brothers are 30 and 40 years older than he is? All this has taken about ten years of sporadic search. Months go by and I do nothing. I think I have been very lucky to find as much as I have found so far, and mine is not the most orthodox way one should go about searching. The correct way is to write places of death and birth, and get copies of the birth and death certificates, and go back that way. Death certificates usually have the parents' names of the deceased, the spouse' name, and also the place of birth of the deceased. So, that gives you a whole new earlier generation, and a place to go to write for a birth certificate. I have mostly been successful thanks to having had ancestors who were curious enough in the last 75 years to want to know their family history, and to keep track of their descendants, and to put it all on paper.

All Cousins: There are Youngbloods on the Cherokee Roles. Many times,"back in the days," when there was much prejudice, it was not considered all that great to have Indian blood, during the times of removals such as the Trail of Tears, so many Indians had to deny their heritage to keep from having their land taken, to keep any rights as a human being, to keep their intermarriages together, to keep their families from being persecuted, so they would say they were "Black Dutch" or many other terms to become acceptable and be able to integrate into a European society. Youngbloods did marry Cherokee, as did Chapmans, as did Browns, as did, on and on. So, when we try to discover the trails our ancestors took, and we run into dead ends or we suspect we have Cherokee blood running through our Youngblood veins, go to the source, find out which Youngbloods are on the Dawes Roll (many other roles also). You have a treasure trove of information awaiting you, "just around the river bend". Happy Journey. Cozette dmx7@earthlink.net PS. Charlie Royall has much knowledge regarding this venture. If all else fails, go to a search engine, type in Cherokee Indian, and start your journey. Dig deep my cousins, remember the tragedies our ancestors were trying to avoid, some of them did a pretty good job of hiding.

Hey Beverly - When and how did you decide that William was a brother of Amos Carrill I ????

Cousins, I'm a bit short on time, but this one I wanted to get posted. The following comes by way of my great aunt, Velma BRASSELL BEUERLE, gr daughter of Frances "Fannie" A. YOUNGBLOOD and Edward P. BRASSELL. I don't know from where she obtained them. I'm copying EXACYLY (? = illegibility) Spellings in one letter may make the other clearer. The letterhead on both is, O.L. Ellzey, owner Ellzey Gin & Food Co. Purina Chows Tylertown, Mississippi Dated 27 Aug, 1954 Dear Mrs. Pliner (the spelling in unclear) Thanks for your letter of Aug ?. The information we have on the Choctaw side of my family dates back to - Poor Davey and Sookey Davey They had a daughter named Sookey who married Gilbert Collins a Choctaw Indian. Their daughter Aisley married Elias Woodruff. Elias Woodruff was from New Jersey. Their daughter Amelia married Chauncy Coll (letters are cut off but probably Collins) my grandfather. He was from Salisbury, Conn. Gilbert and Sookey - I think had a daughter named Sookey also one (I'm unclear about the spelling on this next one) ?Ian Schrum? (There is a note made above this name by someone other than the author that says "bro.") - I can get this information from a cousin of mine when she returns from Texas. I will write you also Mrs. Byor?ean when I get more information. I think the Mrs. Beouchaup (or possibly Beauchauy) is from some other place than Columbia Miss as I have never heard of any Beacha?? (probably same as previous surname is this sentence) The families of Columbia are the Lamptons and Rankins - However they could have moved there in later years. I'll let you hear from (sic) again as soon as I can get the other information. Sincerely, Georgene Collier (or possibly Collins) Dated Feb 9, 1955 Mrs. E. C. Oliner (unclear) - Monroe, LA Dear Mrs. Oliner Pardon my delay in answering your letter but things pop up that I never got any thing done any more. The information we have in regard to the Choctaw Indian of our ancestors was given to us by my grandfather Collins in his diary not from Philadelphia. But a cousin of mine did write the lawyer that and he gave her the same that we had. You will find the lawyer - Meir I believe is his name always busy. As to the names or men being the same I don't know. It was not unusual for a tribe to have several children of the same name or almost the same. Poor Davey and Sookey Davey were my line of Indians. No doubt it is the same as Poor Davi - just a letter change in name & lexicon use. I doubt his brother. Poor Davey and Sookey Davey had a daughter named "Sookey --" Probably other children. The daughter married Gilbert Collins a Choctaw Indian. Gilbert and Sookey Collins had a daughter named "Aisley" and no doubt other children. Aisley married Elias Woodruff of New Jersey. Elias and Aisley Woodruff had a daughter named Amelia and 2 sons. Amelia married my grandfather Cauncey Collins who was from Salisbury Conn. Sorry to have waited so long in answering, Sincerely, Florena Collins My comments.... I have not made a definite connection with this particular Collins. However, Benjamin YOUNGBLOOD b: 20 Oct, 1773, d: 15 Jan 1860 married 20 Dec 1794 in Richmond Co., GA Susannah COLLINS b: 16 May 1775, d:19 Nov 1866. Does any of this familiar to anyone?

This is very confusing. Maybe someone out there can help. Kaywin wrote, and you all read it, that Amos Caril Youngblood I was to her knowledge 100% Cherokee Indian. I was in awe of this because his brother William was my Gt. Gt. Gt. Grandpa. I had never heard that we had Indian blood at all before. I wrote her, and she said that she got this information from Wayne Youngblood. I e-mailed Wayne, who is also on our list, to find out more, and he e-mailed back that to his knowledge there is no Indian in our family, and to his knowledge Amos Caril Youngblood I was not a Cherokee Indian. He has studied this family extensively. He also says there aren't red heads in the family that he knows about. So now, after telling my family that we are part Cherokee Indian, and having them be all excited about it, I find out it is still an unknown. Beverly Rich So, that's the latest. So,

Candace - I don't know if and how this connects, but thought I'd throw it in the pot: >From "History of the Cherokee Indian", by Emmet Starr (1984), page 648: Prater, Mrs. Henry S. (See Downing and Ghigan); Martha Celeste Thompson - b. 1 March 1868; married 1 Feb. 1887 to Henry Sheridan, son of Thomas D. and Mary Elizabeth Prater, born 13 June 1866 in Camden Co., TN. They are parents of: David George Prater - born 10 Aug. 1891 - married Nancy May Youngblood - born March 1895. Three children: John F. - b. 8 Sept. 1911; Benjamin Hester - b. 28 Mar. 1913 and Pansy May - b. 16 May 1915. Craig Co. (Vinita), OK marriage records: William E. Prater (21) of Adair - and Miss Nancy May Youngblood (18) of Adair - 6 July 1911. Witness: Mattie C. Prater. (This seems to Martha Celeste, above, but Starr says Nancy married David George Prater - ???). In the Warren Co., TN Youngbloods - Allen, (son of old Jonathan and Nancy), had a son - William T., who married (Mrs.) Nancy E. Farley. In 1880, they are in Cannon Co., TN, with kids: Martha A. (15); Mary L. (11) and Henry (7). Also in the household are John Farley (21; step-son) and Thos. J. Prater (18; TN - son-in-law). (Is this the Thomas D. and Mary Elizabeth of the Starr record, above?) William T. and Nancy Youngblood later moved to Simpson Co., KY, (believe I saw cemetery records for them there) - but in 1900, they have two Prater granddaughters living with them: Emmeline (16; b. July 1883; TN) and Louella (14, b. Nov. 1885; TN). As you probably know, William T.'s brother, Josiah/Joseph Youngblood, had sons:- Houston Monroe Youngblood (b. 2 Sept. 1846), married Sarah C. Praater -- and James Allen Youngblood, (b. 15 Oct. 1850), married Martha E. Prater. If you're not already thoroughly confused by all this - here's another bit: Josiah/Joseph and William T.'s mother was Verlinne Prater - and Josiah/Joseph's wife was Rachel Lance/Lantz, dau. of James Lance/Lantz and Mary Prater. One more note - on the sons of Houston Monroe and Sarah C. (Prater) Youngblood - Benjamin F.(b. June 1878), was living with a Thomas L. Thompson (Indian) in 1900 - which no doubt connects to the Martha C. Thompson of Starr's record - because John Dillard Youngblood, (b. 30 Jan 1871), was a "servant" in the household of Henry S. Prater. Benjamin F. ("Frank") and another brother, Edgar, who was age 2/12 in 1880 (Washington Co., AR) - are listed in "Our People and Where They Rest", Vol. II, Old Adair Cemetery, Mayes Co., OK - Edgar - 1885 - ____ - and Frank - 1879-1905, which probably aren't the correct birthdates. Also buried there is Maude, Edgar's wife - 1885-1943. (In 1910 Mayes Co., OK, (soundex), Edgar was 30 and Maude was 25). While "dabbling" in I.T./OKYoungblood research, I have noticed a lot of discrepancy in birthdates in various records for them - so don't take anything for granted. Let me know if you have further questions on this - and good luck! I'd sure like to know if you unravel all this :-) Dorothy
