Younger b 1826 were married 15 Dec 1852 in Maury County, TN. Are these the two named above in the first paragraph? Their ch were Rachael, Aleck, Alice and Anna, according to Mr. Atkinson.

I've received a query from a gr granddaughter of a Mary Younger Bombara. All she knows is that she lived on the south side of Pittsburgh, PA after she married. This is a name and location entirely foreign to me. Anybody out there have a clue?

I can't help you with the Ledford connection but I have a Mahala Ann b 1848 TN the daughter of David B and Catherine Melton who migrated from TN to Pope County AR. The significant possible connecting point is that her father David was born in GA. David was the son of Thomas Younger and his first wife Kendrick. Maybe you should check Georgia and Tennessee for clues. JYG wrote: > Wilma N.- > > James W. Ledford a Pvt. at Ft.

I was surprised to see the Utah location of this census but it made sense of a note Margarette Hutchins had left - "Mary joined the Mormon Church."

I think this is Joseph Younger who married Susannah Fitch in Orange County, NC. He is the son of Joseph and Jane Younger. Joseph SR died in orange County NC. When I checked for Joseph and Susan McCurly, the biggest indication that it was not them was different children's names and the fact that all were born in North Carolina when the McCurley marriage had different locations. I must say these census reports have been invaluable in filling out the various families. Keep up the good work. I will admit I am having trouble keeping up with processing them but it is worth the work.

Wilma, I have been of the belief that David B. was born in TN. as in the 1850 Lawrence Co., TN census as well as the 1860 Searcy Co., AR. it says TN. for David B. I descend from James Younger David's older brother who was born in GA. I am of course very interested in this family and I think there is much to be learned about Thomas Younger and the time in Georgia with his first wife Rachel Hendrick (Kendrick). Carolyne "Wilma C.

Wilma N- When I do a 1900 search it includes the whole state. I can search for the full name or just the last name and this is a sample of how the index looks: (This is the Pvt. at Ft. Logan) 5.

Ledford found in: Family Archive #908 Census Microfilm Records: Arkansas, 1900 Lived in: Fort Logan H Roots, Pulaski County, Arkansas Series: T623 Microfilm: 74 Book: 1 Page: 249 Go to Page Data Introduction I checked all of AR for any derivitive of James W.

Well Wilma, with people like you to *starighten out* these blurbs, we can try and set the stories straight. Thankyou for the benefit we are receiving, of your knowledge and experience in this research. I also want to say that I do not consider a TREE or other GEDcom as a type of source of info as a true *source* but as a source=root of where the data stemmed.

In searching through my files, I found a copy of a letter from Edward Eugene Younger to his daughter Ellen. It was written in April 1977. I will only abstract out what he wrote about the lineage. He wrote that Alexander Younger came to Virginia (York County) in the 1680s from Worcester England. Alexander's brother Andrew lived in Scotland. Scottish Youngers were prominent in the upper Chesapeake Bay trade and along the Rappahannock River, even above Fredericksburg. Alexander settled in Essex Co. Before 1700 he married Rebecca Mills, dau. of John and Sarah Mills of Essex Co. They settled on a farm at or near the town of Tappahannock the county seat. Alexander and Rebecca had 8 children: Thomas (1700), John (1702), Elizabeth (1704), Susannah (1706), Mary (1712), Anne (1715), Jannetta (1717), and James (1720). In 1725 Alexander made his will and died in 1727. He states that he has a copy of his will. Rebecca married Timothy Driscoll and they left most of their property to Anne Younger. Son James married Anna Nash and they settled in Spotsylvania Co southwest of Fredricksburg. Anna's family were originally from Middlesex Co. James was still there as late as 1750. In 1753 he moved his wife Anna and daughter Anna to the back country of NC to a settlement on Cool Run of the hedwaters of Abbot's Creek in Rowan County, now Davidson Co. Here he established the Abbott's Creek Baptist Church. But he did not come from Spotsylvania Co, but from the Welsh Nook Settlement in Craven Co, SC. There is no Craven Co, SC today but there was then. In 1783 he moved into Chatham Co. NC just south and west of Durham and Chapel Hill. It is not known from this time what happened the rest of his life, where he lived or where he died and is buried. He died before 1808. In 1801 he willed to his son Thomas Younger 300 acres of land in Chatham Co. Other children of James and Anna Nash Younger werre Anna who married James Evans, T. James mar. Anne Teague, John married Rebecca McCaslin, Elizabeth married Aaron Welbourn, and Rebecca married James Welbourn. Thomas born in 1762 married Mary Nalle, dau. of John Nalle of Spotsylvania Co, VA. He is said to had\v had 13 children, among them was Thomas who moved to Tomahawk community near St. Joe, AR. Another son, Alexander, went from NC to TN to MO to Corsicarma, TX where there is a Younger Cemetery. Mary Nalle's husband, Thomas, disappears in Williamson Co, TN. She is said to be buried in Stockton, MO, 96 years old. He wrote this will have to be checked out. (A handwritten note at this point initialed DY {Dreat Younger, who sent me the copy of the letter} states: checked-this is right.) Edward states that he is indebted to a good friend, Mattie Ellen Trube of Houston, TX for most of this information. Helen

Hi folks, I am in CA, currently checking mail from my cousin's computer. Tomorrow I'll be travelling to spend the weekend with Mary Lucinda Younger Mayberry's granddaughter. Mary Lucinda did indeed marry first Reuben Mayberry. They removed together to Moultrie Co, IL in 1881. Reuben's first cousin, Ingram Jones Mayberry also removed to Moultrie County with his first wife. Reuben Mayberry and Ingram's first wife both died and Mary Lucinda married Ingram Jones. Mary Lucinda had 3 children in each marriage. Just wanted to pass along that quick update. I'm not on my own computer, so I don't have access to my files and can't be any more detailed than that. But it should at least clear up any confusion on Mary Lucinda's marriages. Nancy

First, the available documentation doesn't support that John Younger son of William and Molly Watkins ever used an initial B in his name. I would have to see documentation to the contrary. (I went back and looked) Secondly Martha "Patsy" Newbill married John Caryl Younger 30 Dec 1813 in Person County NC. He was the son of Henry and Sarah Anderson Younger. Not even close and certainly no cigar- I cringe at the thought of the tangled trees there are out there. It's going to take Roto-Rooter to straighten them all out.
