There is a Younger family in Iredell Co, NC that I have been unable to identify, even though it exists in a neighboring county to my own Wilkes Co. Youngers. According to a submission to the Heritage of Iredell Co., this Younger family descends from a William. I still do not completely accept that Joseph of Wilkes is the son of Thomas. As of yet, I have seen no one identify (or claim) the Joseph on the 1790 Halifax Co, VA census. Why is he not the son of Thomas????? Just thinking in type, but what if Joseph of Wilkes and William who married Patience are part of another distinct Younger family, yet to be documented? Any comments? (Somebody shoot down this possibility with documentation. It's a lot easier to just say that Joseph is the son of Thomas!) Nancy
