If you have a copy of the Boone County Historian Vol. XII no. I from 1989, you will find most of the information in the letter is also in an article written about William Alexander and Lucinda Hinson Younger and their family. Credit for the article: " This material has been compiled from the research of Edward Younger the son of "Willie" and Alma Rainbolt Younger, Mabel Motes, Dreat and Jay Younger and my own research begun over 40 years ago. Of necessity, this account is but a small part of all the material we have gathered, but perhaps it will help other researchers. If known error is found in this data, please write to: Mrs Helen Turney McMindes." Bob Younger wrote: > In what form do you think Edward Eugene Younger's data took.
