Join the Younger confusion club! haha! You have a lot more than I have, because until just recently, I've only kept anything in my files that directly belonged with Joseph Younger of Wilkes Co. As stated earlier, his parentage is in question, but popular opinion links him as the son of Thomas and unknown 2nd wife. I'm not 100% convinced, but am closer than I once was to accepting that lineage. Joseph Younger was squarely in Wilkes Co. NC from 1782 until his death in 1823. He had a son named Harrison that was named in his will. In 1850, a Harrison Younger is listed in the census in Surry Co. (right next door to Wilkes) as 46 years old (born 1804, if the age is right). Living with him are: Elizabeth, 15 F Nancy, 10 F Pettis, 8 M Romulus, 6 M Adaline, 5 F Pinckney, 2 M I have to assume that this Harrison is the Harrison named in Joseph's will. I have no idea who Harrison married. I haven't been able to locate any marriage record and there are no clues in the church records I've found either. No mention of a Harrison at all. I can accept this as Joseph's son with a daughter named Elizabeth after Harrison's mother and a daughter named Nancy after Harrison's sister. The other children's names may provide clues to Harrison's wife....time will tell. Harrison, Joseph's son, is listed in court records as Harrison T. and it has been speculated that the T. stands for Thomas, but I've never seen anything to document that theory. I've only seen Joseph's son referred to as Harrison, never as Thomas. In the end, I wouldn't put much faith in anything I find in a TREE online. As I've said before, I've found many, many error in these trees and I've only been looking through Joseph's line. It's easy to stick a child where they might "fit". It's a lot harder to document that you actually have the right child with the right parent. I could later learn that this Harrison in 1850 isn't Joseph's son, but I think that's unlikely. I would also be careful about attaching Harrison to Tomahawk Thomas (or any other Thomas!). I know some early research I've seen makes that connection in an effort to make Joseph's son Harrison, known to have the middle initial "T", the same Thomas Younger who married Ellen London. It was a theory with no documentation...just an attempt to connect names and families. I'm not aware of anything legitimate to back that up. It also ignores the existance of the Harrison Younger still in NC who is the perfect age to be Joseph's son. Nancy Oh, and yes, I got the census records I needed... for now! Thanks! :-)
