I speculate that my, supposed(DNA test says otherwise),line - Armistead and William(my line) lived on the land(49.5 acres, West TN District) granted in 1849 to their brother Williamson in Tennessee until they got the their land grants in Arkansas - they all show up on the 1850 Carroll county district 5 census together then disappeared and show up in Independence/Stone county census Ark in 1860 with all their kids except my John William( 1829-1899) who was the oldest of William/Priscilla 8 kids. Armistead first land grant was March 1 1855 in three different plot 40 acres each( Williamson name is on some of these grants) - he has a total of six (1855-1860) William( mine I feel) gets land( 80 acres) granted May 1 1860 along side Armistead - he just had two land grants(1860) William son John W(my line) was married in Ark in 1854 in Independence county Ark to Rebecca Smith buts shows back up on the 1860 District 5 Carroll census with a wife Rebecca and kids - 9 years later my Charley Frank, youngest of 8, is born (1869) - his mother dies at his birth(Rebecca Smith) - John W remarries Francis Culp in 1875 and has a son Ben H in 1877. So John William had a total of 9 kids. John William ultimately in Milan as a undertaker. John W was buried at Oakwood cemetery in Milan along with his wives. My John Williams brother, James Samuel Younger ends up married to Armistead daughter , Rutha Francis Younger.... They had a total of eight kids I feel they traveled back and forth between Carroll TN and Stone ARK but the majority of them stayed in Arkansas - i.e. William and Armistead's kids - some of their descendents are still there today on the same land along the White River. Some are buried in the St James Methodist church on the highway between Batesville's and Mountain View. John W's offspring and Williamson's side stayed in Tennessee along with the other William Younger, that showed up in 1848 in Carroll County land grants, thru the late 1800's and early 1900's. Some moving to the Memphis area.

DNA test on each line could clear this up...

Carroll County, TN during the 1860 census that they're brothers. That would make William A. son of Mary Bomar and Williamson Younger. I think that it's safe to assume that.
