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.

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.

Can you tell me what the middle initial was if not a B? Or was this a different John Younger? Thankyou. Linda in KC
