The "insinuation" is there, unfortunatley - and this has led to many researchers accepting the line as FACT, which it is NOT. Thomas Youngblood, the son of John Miles Youngblood, stayed in NC, as records clearly indicate, and had children: Thomas, Jr., Jacob, Edith and Ikabod - perhaps others. At this time I cannot answer all the questions this generates, and am reluctant to say anything that might further be construed as fact, when the research is still ongoing. I will say that one Henry Youngblood, who appears as a chaincarrier on one of Peter Youngblood's surveys in Orange Co., NC (1761), also moved to SC, (in what later was Edgefield Co.), and got a land grant on Coffeytown Creek in early 1767. He died, (l769/1770), but his estate was not settled until after the death of his wife, Catherine, probably in 1813, as that year, Thomas, Andrew and Jesse Youngblood, (Jesse of East Florida), were disposing of old Henry's land, which mentioned his original grant in 1767. As Thomas, who married Amy Hopkins, was the only Thomas Youngblood in the county at that time, and living in close proximity to the others, it is my SPECULATION that he was the one who shared in Henry's estate - i.e, Henry's son. This Thomas was also named, along with Abraham Youngblood, as executors, when my James Youngblood wrote is will in 1792. >> Hi group, I am new to this list. My children are descended from Thomas Youngblood and Amy Hopkins through their daughter Rebecca who married Britton Hargrove. I thought I had found much further back on this but Dorothy just blew me out of the water. That's ok. I would rather have the correct information. Just wanted you to know that I am out here very curious to find out who Thomas' parents really were. By the way, has anyone found anything on Amy's father Jesse Hopkins?
