You should probably contact the person who submitted this information. She states she has the actual Will, I believe for Marcus Younger and/or John Younger. What she submitted to the Pedigree Resource File was as stated below. I am still looking for information on this group. One thing to remember, Marcus' wife was also Susannah Younger for whom we have no death date, but the one below names sister Mary Estes and nephew Younger Wyatt to distinguish her from her mother. -Linda Mary Ellen Williams Carlton 7038 Spring Valley Rd.

Looks like the names were transcribed wrong. Susannah from all records seems to never have married. > WITNESSES; DOLLY LIGHT, JOHN CAP AND MAR STREET.
