In my new book, Colonial Families of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Vol. 21, I came across an entry from the Kent County Criminal Records DD#!:117A. This Thomas Younger(according to the book) is described as the son of the second John Younger m. Mary(last name not Known). I take this John to be the son of John Younger/Sara Kennard. On 10 Nov 1769 Thomas Younger, KE Co, planter was charged with committing fornication with Mary Dunkan and begot a base born(illegitimate) child. He was fined 30 sh. and ordered to give security to keep the county from any charge of his bastard child named Alexander. On 17 Aug 1772 the estate of John Younger ,KE Co., dec'd, was admin. by Joseph Younger (exec.) and among those paid was"John Bolton as special bail of Thomas Younger per said Bail" Does anyone know if that child would have been named Alexander Younger or did they take the name of their mother back then?

I meant Nehemiah. Not Hehemiah Younger.

Folks, Just recieved my new book, Colonial Families of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Vol. 21. by Henery C. Peden, Jr. Under the info. on the Younger family:On 25 Jul 1750, Arthur Miller, KE Co., wrote his will and bequeathed furniture to Humphrey Younger and livestock to Hehemiah Younger, son of Humphrey and Ann Younger.(Maryland Will Book 27:363).

Hi Leni, I guess they would be fun to read about the "gang", but I'm really more interested in Thomas Younger & Mary Nall. I hope you can find any articles or paper about them to share.

Leni, It's me. Haven't heard from you in a while. I'd be interested in those articles. My gggg grandmother, Mary Agatha Dearing Younger descended from the Twymans and one of her relation, Lydall Wilkerson Twyman m. Bursheba Fristoe Younger(gang's mom) sister. Can't recall her name at the moment. I kind of have a story to tell from Gail Fines who is a relation of Jacob Ragan and she heard this story down through the years from her relation. She said that when the Youngers would come to family dinners(Charles and Henery W.) would leave silver coins underneath their plates. I take it the "gang" boys were young. Because she said they would " kick the family dog."

Bobbi, you can view a historical accout of the "Tune Home", online at Library of Virginia. It was called the "Old Collie Place". At the time this piece was written, Joel Younger was the present owner. The house was built by Beveryly Sydnor. At the time of the writing of this historical account, the owners of the place had been: Kester Tune / prior to 1831 Beverly Sydnor / 1831-1872 J.B. Sydnor / 1872-1883 J.A. Collie/ (heirs of J.B. Sydnor) 1883-1895 J.H. Collie/ 1895-1907 Ben Womack / 1907-1909 Amanda Tune and Bela F. Younger / 1909-1913 Joel Younger / 1913- till?? See if this link works for you. When you click on the link, it should open in your TIFF viewer. http://ajax.lva.lib.va.us/F/P49QR6KH85J379AVEB7YHJAE13XF11229GRUXXFGYBUSND1H7X-00660?func=full-set-set&set_number=010629&set_entry=000005&format=999 Betty ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roberta J. Estes" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 06, 2007 8:22 PM Subject: [YOUNGER] Marcus Younger I wrote a summary of Marcus Younger for the Halifax Co., Va. family history book. I know it's old hat for most, but it might be helpful to someone sometime. Here it is. Marcus Younger Marcus Younger was born before 1740, probably in King and Queen County, and died in January 1815 in Halifax County. He married Susannah, possibly Hart. Anthony Hart sold land to Marcus Younger before he moved to Halifax County. We don't know who Marcus's parents are, but they could be Alexander Younger and Rebecca Mills, although Alexander does not mention Marcus in his will. Alexander's son Thomas moved to Halifax County at the same time as Marcus and they live close to each other, Thomas on Terrible Creek and Marcus on Yellow Bank Creek on the Banister River. Marcus aided in the American Revolution in King and Queen County as documented by the Public Service Claims. He provided 1 gallon, 2 quarts and a half brandy worth 39 pounds, 1 shilling and 3 pence. Marcus was in Essex County in 1782 and 1785, taxed under Anthony Hart, but is in Halifax County by 1788. In 1786, Marcus' daughter Mary marries George Estes of Halifax County. Interestingly enough, George's father, Moses Estes lives beside William Younger, born about 1740, wife Patience, whose parentage is also unknown. William Younger is In Halifax County as early as 1760 when he was assigned to a road crew on Reedy Creek. He apparently lived on Reedy Creek in South Boston for the rest of his life. Reedy Creek abutted the land purchased by Moses Estes Jr. and today Younger Street is the street that runs perpendicular to Estes Street, both of which now lead to the city dump, and is no place near Terrible Creek or the Banister River. I have always wondered if there is a previous connection between the William Younger and Moses Estes family. I have often suspected that Moses Estes Sr. had daughters which would have been the perfect age to have been Patience, the wife of William Younger. Conversely, we don't know who the wife of Moses Estes Sr. was. Regardless, these two families owned land that is very close on the border of Essex and King and Queen Counties in northern Virginia prior to coming to Halifax County. It is exceedingly frustrating for me not to be able to connect our Marcus back to his father. There were other early Younger men who also came to Halifax County from Essex county, and surely our Marcus was the son (or brother) of one of them. He was clearly associated very closely with all of the Youngers of that time in Halifax County, as they witnessed deeds and such for each other. However, those who left wills don't mention Marcus, although he witnessed wills for them, as a brother would. The old Younger family graveyard is located on the original Younger land upon the North side of Banister River located off of current road 610, Murphy Grove Road, on land that included part of Yellow Bank Creek, according to early deeds. This land passed from Marcus to his son John and then to John's son Joel. I understand that this land was sold in about 1892 to Walter Tune, so it could still be in the Tune family. When I visited that area during my last visit, there is an old "Tune" house up there. The location information I have from folks that found it years ago is as follows: Route 610 to a dirt road on the left and follow to end of public maintenance where you see a large white farmhouse. Near the house towards the back on the right is a farm road leading down to the creek through a gate. Drive across the creek and you will find an old rock lined well now covered by a concrete slab. Near the well is an area slightly sunken covered by English Ivy. Follow the road on the right about ½ mile beyond the creek. There is a large graveyard in the woods, completely overgrown with trees and a groundcover of periwinkle. The graveyard is apparently in the woods up there, as someone did find it years ago, but without someone who knows the area, it would be very difficult today. Marcus' will written 23 Jun 1805, Probated 25 Jan 1815: To daughter Susannah 50 acres of land where my house stands during her natural life. Also one Negro girl (Fanny), one mare, one bed, and furniture, one cow and calf. To grandson Younger Wyatt one mare. The rest of my estate to be equally divided among my four children namely, John Younger, Elizabeth Clark, Mary Estes and Susannah Younger together with my forenamed grandson Younger Wyatt. Marcus and Susannah's children: * John born April 11, 1760 in Essex County, married Lucy Hart, had 9 children, inherited his father's land and lived in Halifax County his entire life. His son Joel owned the Younger land after John's death in 1817. * Elizabeth married William Clark, had 5 children, but was dead by March 1816. * Mary Younger married George Estes (see Estes story) in 1786. * Sally Younger married a Wyatt and had Younger Wyatt. She was probably deceased by 1805. * Susannah apparently never married and died about 1831. She had a will and in her will she left her clothes to her sister Mary Estes and Mary Wyatt, and then she freed her negroes Fanny and Henry "to be released and given $15". Fifteen dollars at that time was a significant amount of money. In 1842, a chancery suit involving Marcus estate was settled. The suit claimed that when the heirs of Marcus sold 52 acres to Thomas Clark, the heirs had received the purchase money, but that the whole of them had never conveyed to him clear title, although he was in possession of the land. All of the children of Marcus Younger were listed, and if his children were dead, their children as heirs were listed. This suit was invaluable in reconstructing the family of Marcus Younger, but the mystery of his parents, and those of William Younger as well, remain. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
