I can't believe this, but we may have a match here. My Alfred Youngblood was born in 1829, according to my documents. He married Mary Jane Williams on May 30, 1850 in Graves County, KY, dau. of Bryant Williams. She was born on Dec. 26, 1828 in KY. Her mother may have been a Lucy Youngblood. Alfred and Mary Jane had 6 daughters and one son. Their daughters were Elizabeth Elvina (my great grandmother), b. Oct. 13, 1852; Nancy Elvira, b. Jan 17, 1854; Sarah Louisa Mandani, b. Feb. 25, 1857, who was called "Dani", and is said to have Never Married, Barbara Susan, b. Dec. 19, 1859; Mary Eliza, b. Apr. 29, 1861; and California A., b. Aug 18, 1863. Their son was Hardy Bryant Youngblood, or Bryant Hardy Youngblood, b. Mar 3, 1851. According to my records, Sarah Louisa Mandani Youngblood d. Dec. 9, 1938, and was buried in Trinity Cemetery, Graves County, KY. After Alfred was killed in 1864 during a Civil War battle at Patterson, MO, Mary Jane left MO. with the children and returned to Graves County, KY. Mary Jane died there on May 2, 1884, and is bur. in Trinity Cem., which used to be Melrose Cem., and is 4 miles No. of Mayfield on Highway 45. Hardy m. Maggie V. M. Chapman, they lived in Newton County, MO, and he died there while his children were still young, possibly in Rocky Comfort, MO, or nearby. She remarried a James Smith. Elizabeth Elvina died Jan 11, 1884, the day after her 6th and 7th children were born in Rocky Comfort, MO. These were twin boys, and one of them was my grandfather, Frederick Reasor. Elizabeth Elvina m. 1) James Wm. Caldwell, and 2) William Smith Reasor, a Methodist minister. We don't know what happened to Nancy Elvira. Barbara Susan m. 1) Harry Wall, and 2) Wm. W. Holifield, and probably moved to Paragould, AR. She died April 2, 1946. Mary Eliza m. _______Davis. California A. m. Robert W. Wilkerson. That's about all I know about this family, except that I do know who Alfred's parents and siblings were, and if we match, I will send to you all the information I have in my computer about this Youngblood family, and would appreciate having any information that you have.
