Supposedly I am also descended from Thomas Youngblood and Mary Miles, then John Miles and Mary Cole (Coale). According to the book I have entitled: Thomas Youngblood Family by Margaret Ann Cloys and Ollis Youngblood Smith, John Miles Youngblood was baptized Oct. 31, 1708 in Baltimore County MD, and m. Mary Cole on Jan. 21, 1729. In this book John and Mary are listed as having had 4 children: Henry Miles, Mary, John and Thomas S., and I am supposed to be related to the son, John, though Dorothy Quaife, a well-known Youngblood Genealogist, says this is not possible because John had married and moved to Georgia long before the last two sons attributed to him, Amos Caril Youngblood I, and William, b. ca. 1808, were born, and John was certainly too old to have had William. This William is listed in the book with his descendants, as my great, great, great grandfather. A piece of research that I did while in Salt Lake at the LDS library stated that John Miles Youngblood and Mary Cole had two more children, and these children were James and Jacob. This record stated that this 5th child, James m. Mary Polly Bradley, and that their children were Jeremiah, Eli, Thomas, and Elizabeth. It told nothing about the descendancy of the supposed 6th child, Jacob, belonging to John Miles Youngblood and Mary Cole. Now you are stating also that they had this fifth child, James, who married Mary Polly Bradley, and you are their descendant. You are related to James and Mary Polly Bradley's son, Jeremiah, and state that Jeremiah had a son named William. I have seen reference to this son at the LDS library, and as I recall he is listed there as being lost, possibly went to Texas, and was not heard about again by the author. His year of birth, 1790, makes him a possible candidate, though a little old, for the father of my ancestor, William Youngblood, b. ca. 1808, m. Elizabeth Garret on Dec. 21, 1826 in Greene County, TN. My Wm. went on to live in Graves County, KY, and Bollinger County, MO., where he died between 1870 and 1880. Can you tell a little about the life story of your William Youngblood who married Ada Reed. I imagine he is not the father of my Wm., but since I read that he may have moved to Texas and been lost, I would like to hear more about him and his son, Josiah, and any other siblings, and look further for a possible connection. This is the early information I have on Thomas Youngblood m. 1707, d. 1722, and his wife, Mary Miles, d. 1733. In 1702 Thomas was on the tax list in Gun Powder Hundred, Baltimore County, MD. The only child of theirs listed in this book is John Miles Youngblood, baptized Oct. 31, 1708, b. Baltimore County, m. Jan 21, 1729 to Mary Cole (Coale). John Miles Youngblood and Mary Cole's children were as follows: 1. Henry Jiles Youngblood b. Jan., 17, 1730 in Ann Arudel County, MD. He m. Mary Ann____. Henry's will was probated, Johnston Coutny SC, 1774. Children: 1. William 2. Aley 3. Mary 4. Ann Patience Youngblood m. Stanmore Butler. Stanmore was Court Clerk in Edgefield District, SC, and Capt. in Rev. War. (I have their children's names.) 2. Mary Youngblood, b. Sept. 7, 1732 in Ann Arudel County, MD. 3. John Youngblood, b. Oct. 17, 1734 in Ann Arudel County, MD m. Mary____. the following children are listed for them: 1. Abraham m. Amy McNeill, Mar. 1, 1787 2. Isaac m. Elizabeth, 1788, Edgefield District, SC 3. George W. m. Oct. 24, 1788, Nancy Simkins. (Dorothy Quaife says this is an error. george was the son of Peter Youngblood who lived in GA for awhile, and died in Edgefield, SC. 4. Joshua, m. May 30, 1789, Edgefield, SC to Catherine McNeill. (and then this book goes on to list #5 Wm., and #6 Amos Caril, which Dorothy Quaife says isn't so, as explained above. The book also lists many descendants of both William and Amos.) 4. Thomas S. YOungblood., b. Dec. 11, 1736, d. March 28, 1816. b. in Arudel County, MD., m. Amy Hopkins, d. 1822. Amy was d/o Jesse and ___Hopkins. He was in Rev. War. (This book lists many of of his descendants). Child: (there may be more than one.) Jacob B. Youngblood, b. 1770, c. Mar. 18, 1816, m. Sarah Still. both b. Edgefield District, SC. Sarah d/o John Jane Still. I would hope that Dorothy Quaife would answer you, as I bet she can tell you much more. She is a direct descendant of Jeremiah as you are. There seems to be a lot of controversy over this line as many many Youngbloods believe they descend from this line, and each seems to have a different story of who their ancestors were. It would be nice if someone actually had an old carefully kept Bible record or something as good as that for absolute proof of this line. Beverly Rich
