Thanks for your replies. I don't know if there is any connection though, darn it. The only record I can find is a marriage date of 21 Jan. 1863 in Linn County, Oregon, of Joshua and Edith Coshow. My grandfather told me that his grandfather Joshua came from Missouri. Grandfather also told me that Joshua was a cousin to the Younger Brothers that rode with Jesse James. I wonder if he was kidding? They seem to have hid out every time a census was taken. I'm having a hard time tracking anything down on them. Joshua's father could have been Littleton Purcell Younger, born 1813 in Montgomery County, Kentucky, died 23 June 1893 in Brownsville, Oregon. (I took a photo of his tombstone last time I was in Brownsville.) He arrived in Oregon in September 1853. Thanks for any help. Stephanie

This was sent earlier today by JYG in one of her e-mails: "Younger, Thomas, planter, on 10 Nov 1769 committed fornication with Mary Dunkan and begot a base born child. He was fined 30 s., and ordered to give security to keep the country from any charge by means of his bastard child called Alexander. {Kecr DD#1:117A}" The child was called Alexander. Alexander what ? Alexander Younger ? or Alexander Dunkan ? If Nov 1769 was when they did the deed, the birth should have been abt August 1770. Did the child survive ? Did he marry and have children ? It isn't part of my line, just curious, keep waiting to hear Pual Harvey's voice come booming out of the ceiling "And Now The Rest of The Story...."

The following is from the book "The Story of Cole Younger" by Himself. published in 1903. For what it's worth, I'll quote Chapter One, paragraph three in it's entirity (thats not spelled right is it?) and then stand back and let the fur fly.......:) QUOTE My people had always been prominent, politically. It was born in the blood. My great grandmother on my father's side was a daughter of "Lighthorse Harry" Lee, whose proud memory we all cherish. The Youngers came from Strasburg and helped to rule there when it was a free city. Henry Washington Yonger, my father, represented Jackson County three times in the legislature, and was also judge of the county court. My mother, who was Bursheba Fristoe of Independence, was the daughter of Richard Fristoe who fought under General Andrew Jackson at New Orleans, Jackson County having been so named at my grandfather Fristoe's insistence. Mother was descended from the Sullivans, Ladens and Percivals of South Carolina, the Taylors of Virginia and the Fristoes of Tennessee, and my grandfather Fristoe was a grand nephew of Chief Justice John Marshall of Virginia. UNQUOTE That is the only reference Cole makes to "Miss Lee" in the entire book, and as you notice he did not tell us her given name.

The Lewis Younger in these records is the son of Joshua and Catherine Yoter, Joshua's second wife. I'm very familiar with these records which are housed also in the Bedford, Lawrence County IN Library. Unfortunately there is a great controversy over the use of the name Elizabeth Lee as the first wife of Joshua. It seems impossible to erase and more impossible to document. The only evidence of this statement is a letter Cole Younger wrote to the Governor of MO from Stillwater Prison (who he hoped would get him a pardon). He made the point that he was eligible to join the Sons of the American Revolution. After all Joshua Younger's first wife had been Miss Lee of Virginia a relative of Robert E Lee. The Lee family has been scraped clean by a horde of Younger researcher and no Miss Lee ever turned up. The public first started calling her "Lizzie" Lee for whatever reason I do not know. It finally evolved into Elizabeth Lee where it seems to be impregnated permanently into this family history. There is a possible Lee connection which comes out of Maryland through Virgina and into KY. A man by the name of William Lee and his brother Wilford are closely connected with Henry Younger of KY. This presupposes a relationship of Henry to Kennard and Joshua which is suspected but not proven. I don't believe, however, this Lee family bears any relationship to the LEE'S of VIRGINIA (Richard, Hancock et al) We have to remember that Cole wrote his letter a full one hundred years after the fact. Perhaps he was not lying - just mistaken. There is a teeny tiny shred of truth in Cole's comment. One of Charles Younger's illegitimate daughters married a man who is a shirt tail relative of the Lee family. The relationship belonged to her husband and she was a half sister of the Gang's father. He told another story in the same letter which has caused no end of trouble. He claimed the Younger family was of German descent. Joshua's second wife was truly German but the Gang's father descended from the first wife who to this day has been unidentified.

Golly! I certainly am learning alot from you Wilma, you know your stuff! It has been an accepted fact that Joshua Logan married Elizabeth Lee, and time and again is mention she descended from "Lighthorse Harry." As you stated this must have come from Cole's letters. You are right about him stating they came from Germany and indeed Catherine Yoter was from Strasbourg, but she was not his ancestor, or was she? Back to the drawing board! :) Here is what I have gathered, again these sources are still being sought. Elizabeth Lee b 27 Feb 1755 Leesylvania, Prince William, Va; parents Henry Lee, Jr., Lucy Grymes [This would make her sister of "Lighthorse Harry," not a daughter.] d 15 Sep 1787 Hampshire, Va, Usa m Jul 1771 Barren, Ky, Usa {This may have come from Marley Brant. I think I will email her and see what she says on this family and any sources she may have used. I am also in contact with author, Ted Yateman, who has done a great deal of work on the James-Youngers. I have yet to read his new book, as it is going to need my full atention, being highly documented and detailed. I think this winter, with cold days and nights by the fire will serve it's purpose. With one person quoting another, as you said it becomes lost as to where the original information was stemmed.] Keep em comin' we just might lick this bunch yet!
