Brownie, I for one want to thank you and your family. The core or my data, I'm sure came from your uncle Dr. Harold Younger, and was key element in the book "Armistead Younger" published by the Stone County Historical Society. It is very difficult to trace back through our history especially when we decided to go to war with each other and in the process destroy family data via burning of court houses, churches, etc. You have asked if I would get my DNA processed and I have responded what's the point? My son is adopted, thats a fact, but to me he is as much my son as if I were his sperm father. I believe, many people in the past accepted another into the family and gave them their family name. We all came from, Adam and then from Noah. At the same time I think it is important to know and understand your heritage. It would be nice to understand what happened to Susanna Younger, Alexander's daughter, however, present data does not give us any conclusive evidence. My wife and I recently purchased a Travel Trailer, maybe we will be able to go to Essex County again, lovely place, and do some more research or even other areas of Virginia. Please keep up the brain storming. Bob

I am not worked up I am simply not going to accept your interpretation of the records yopu have presented. This is my final time I am saying this "you have shown me nothing that concludes that Alexander Youngers daughter Susannah died unmarried" To your own point the Thomas Younger in Halifax who made his will in the 1790's may not have been the same Thomas Younger who was appointed as Sussanah's Guardian in essex in 1731.

Could I suggest that since there is no proof this Susannah married and no proof she didn't - that we can let the subject die for now - always going back to it if anything in the way of proof comes up?

I guess I forgot to tell you how to subscribe to this list. Frankly it has been so long since I did it, I have really forgotten. perhaps someone on the list would be kind enough to tell you how to do it. The serious problem we have with your Charles Younger is that we really don't know who his father was. The list of Youngers in Kentucky is relatively small. In the year of his birth 1821. In 1820 we had the following Youngers in KY: Henry County - Daniel from W. Port (I've never run into him before) Bullitt County - Henry and Isaac Shelby County - John Nicholas County - Joshua in Carlisle Clay County - Nimrod Harrison County - Peter on the E. Licking Logan County - Samuel and William A Hopkins County - Willis in Belville Not a very daunting number. Peter from Harrison County was the closest to Grant and Pendleton Counties where Charles is reported to have been born. Peter later moved to Grant County. The names given to his children seem to have a direct tie to the Peter Younger family. His first daughter was named Catherine. She was Peter's daughter who perished in the cholera epidemic of 1833. Two of his male children were named Charles and Peter. Charles also perished in the cholera epidemic of 1833. At first it seemed simple to say, "Aha! He must be Peter's child but Peter's wife had another son (John) in 1821. It isn't likely that his wife had two children in the same year, unless she knew a secret to shortening the gestation period. Not likely. At first I thought this Charles could have been the son of Charles who had an early death from cholera perhaps raised by his grandfather but Charles was not married until 1828 six years after the birth of our subject. A death certificate for Peter (the junior) has not been much help except to say the wife of Charles and mother of Peter is unknown. Reluctantly I raise a question that might not be easily accepted but could Charles be an out of wedlock child of Peter's? If gut feelings mean anything (and they really don't) I have one that this man is definitely part of the gang family.

Well, it's all very complicated and many of us have been working on these dilemmas for over fourteen years. It's not a debate, it's genealogical research. And we're just people trying to help other people. You have to look at all aspects. If you zero in on one thing you'll never find the answer. My gg grandfather Williamson Younger had a brother John Henry Wilson Cage Younger, who at birth was sent to live with the Cage family, and they called him their son. That took several years to straighten out. But I do know this also...doesn't help any to get all worked up over it....

you have shown me nothing that concludes that Alexander Youngers daughter Susannah died unmarried" In the absence of evidence, one must conclude (especially in the case of a woman of that era) that there were no marriages nor children. I would say that if the Library of VA doesn't hold evidence, and Halifax, VA doesn't hold evidence, then there was none. I'm merely a descendant of the Halifax Youngers, and I'm not obliged to show you anything. Sometimes one finds what they're looking for by being open and receptive to information other people give them and using that information to formulate one's' own research strategy.

Yes ,Yes Thomas was Susannah's Guardian some 60 years prior to the writing of his own will. I have spoken to two lawyers who have read the Chauncery suit and they like me do not see any indication that Thomas is referring to His Ward Namely his sister who would be atleast in her 70's at the time he wrote his will.Nor do the two Lawyers I spoke with believe that the later dispute in the 1820's would have referred to some of Thomas's children being Susannah's half sister and some being her full sister if she was idneed their "Aunt". They also agree that the practice of legal adoption was not in place in the 1700's in America at best she would have been listed as Thomas' sister or his Ward not his daughter. I believe the Susannah in the Chauncery suit is Thomas's natural born daughter not his sister. you are welcome to your opinion and your interpretation but I do not see any evidence in Thomas Youngers will or the later Chauncery Suit that supports what you are saying is valid. I see evidence that Thomas's daughter is dead by the time of his Chauncery suit and the estate is being divided with the heirs of Susannah's full siblings and her half siblings indicating that Thomas Younger was married twice or his wife was married twice not that she was the Aunt and Younger sister of Thomas..The Lawyers I spoke with agreed that because of the dispoute if Susaannah ahd been Thomas's sister and his ward it would have been sateted as such in the will and the chauncery case. These are my last comment on this subject. Jerry

Sorry if I offend anyone but all this document proves is that Thomas Younger had chidlren by two wives ,It does not suggest that Sussanah is his daughter/sister ist says she is a sister to some of the chidlren and a half sister to others. She is Williams "Sister" and Mary Fretwell's half sister. Proof that Thomas Younger married twice not that he adopted his sister and she died with out the benefit of marriage and issue.

Ellington, Mary Ellington decd since this intermarriage her husband surviving her and since his father? Williamson Younger and Susannah Younger that the children of Williamson Younger are entitled to his proportion to be equally divided between them.

That James Younger and Jesse Younger are presumed to be dead without children and intestate they have not been heard from more than 7 years and where they have removed to is unknown and when they were last heard from the were unmarried and without children. They further charge that by there is a balance due them by commissioners upon he estate of Rachel Younger including interest up to April 1 1837, that the ? for the year 1837 hired for the sum of .due Dec. 1837 and tha the hires? of the slaves for the year 1838 and 1839 are still in his hands. They charge that from the number of legatees that they cannot divide in kind and therefore pray that they may be sold and divided equally and that the portions of James Younger and Jesse Younger presumed dead be divided in the same manner.

Susannah, daughter of Alexander, did not marry and had no children. where is the proof of this statement? it certainnly is not in the Library of Virginia. Please support your statement.

In response to: I firmly believe that Susannah, daughter of Alexander, was placed under guardianship of Thomas, her brother, and became his "daughter" by virtue of guardianship. I firmly disagree this was not done during this time period adoption was not even in practice she was his sister and had she been an heir in his esate she would have been listed as his sister not his daughter.She was his guardian but I have seen nothing that indicates she"became his daughter". Many of the "Younger" siblings named a daughter Susannah. With all of the long drawn out court case over Thomas Younger's esate that lasted some 20 years after his death,Had his sister Susannah been an heir there would have been verbiage to that effect,

Hi all, I have a photo copy of Alexander's Essex Co.Will recorded 1727 and find it very difficult to read because it is in old script.
