Let's look at this court action again -- maybe the "John and Joseph the last two infants by their next friend Williamson Younger" -- does not refer to Williamson's youngest brothers afterall. Does anyone have anything to give us a hint as to when they were born? Evidently they were infants in 1811 -- and it does say Joseph and not Josephus -- ???? I list a Josephus and John as the last two children of William and Mary (Watkins) Younger, I believe from into sent by Willie (not positive on that) or -- maybe it could be just a transcriber error. Anybody got anything to add?
