Found this in the library today. 'A History of Halifax County (Virginia) ...by... Wirt Johnson Carrington 1924; Appeals Press, Inc; Richmond, Virginia' 1801, October Will of William Watkins Wife Mary, Daughters Molly Younger, Sally Brown Philemon Hurt and Henry E. Coleman, securities "William Watkins" It doesn't actually quote the will, just the above. Could this "Molly Younger" be the wife of William Younger? The date is about right. The book lists very little Younger family info (a couple of marriage dates), but gives a few pages of info on the Watkins family (didn't get any of it copied but the above, they were closing when I found it). I will return tomorrow to copy. Let me know if you're interested.

Wilma...I am at this time trying to get together a concise and fully documented report for you and Stephen (or is it for Willie?) duh!. I have a typed copy of William Watkins full will. This was done by Margarette Hutchins. He states "two negroes in the possession of James and Sally Brown. His daughter, Sarah, married James Brown...not Younger. So you need to change Molly Brown to Sarah Brown. The Watkins had two daughters, Sarah (Sally) and Mary (Molly). :-). Mary married a Younger, and Sarah married a Brown. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wilma Norton" <wilma@softcom.net> To: <YOUNGER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2001 1:20 AM Subject: Re: [YOUNGER] Molly Watkins Younger > > Halifax Co.
