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.

You are absolutely right. According to all the census records, David B was born in TN. That was my error. Consider this, however, his older brother James is recorded in census records as having been born in GA and his younger sister, Rebecca, is recorded in census records as being born in GA. Ponder on why only he the middle child was born in TN. Perhaps some research in GA is in order. None of us seem to know much about that period in the life of Thomas.
