Sara - I'm not sure whether the first rule of genealogy is "Don't assume" - or "Don 't believe everything you read" - they rank pretty close together :-) To help "un-confuse" you - my James (d. 1792; Edgefield Co., SC) was not the same James (wife: Jemima) in GA.. It's "possible" that Benjamin (wife: Susannah Collins) was related to the Johnston Co., NC branch (John Miles Youngblood), but at this point, Benjamin's father is unknown. My opinion on Amos Caril I - If he was born in Edgefield Co. SC (1784-1794) - age 16/26 in 1810 and married, with one child - so he's likely about 23. This would place his date of birth (roughly) about 1787. IF John Miles Youngblood, Jr. (b. 1734) was the John who petitioned for land in GA in 1771 and had 7 kids - this would indicate that he married maybe about 1756 (age 22) and had a child every two years. We don't know if he had more kids after this, but I really doubt that he had a son in Edgefield Co. some 16 years later. (He could have but I think his wife would have been too old). As I told Bev, fifteen years of trying to tie William (b. 1806) to Amos Caril I has produced only one fact - that they lived in the same county in KY for a short time, which really doesn't mean anything. Which reminds me - if anyone is looking for James, oldest son of Henry and Sarah (Harvey) Younglood, he was with his son, James, Jr. and family, in 1900 Wheeler Co., TX - where my Youngblood was. Does this help? Dorothy
