I will let you know if I find a source for "David" - all I ever saw on census records was just William with no middle initial. The only other source I have is the FOTY book which is a compilation of the research done by Margarete Hutchins and which was sorted and put into a book by Wilma Hillman. In the book he is identified as "William D." Below is what it says. Whoever Charlotte Fogey Shenk is will be perhaps the only way to find out if she had a source for the middle initial of "D". Plus, it's also possible that whoever gave the information for the death certificate didn't know for sure what the middle name was. Do you have the original death certificate? If only a transcription, then whoever transcribed it could have misread it. "In the FOTY Research of Margarette Hutchins I find this: BIOGRAPHIES Pg. 30 - Source: Charlotte Forgey Shenk, Pg. 31 (Location unidentified) W.D. Younger I'll speak first of the Mr. Younger that I knew personally. Mr. "Billy" (W.D.) son of William and Lucinda M. Witherspoon Younger. Mr. Younger was born 29 May 1857. He was the youngest of twelve children: eight boys and four girls. Thomas Younger was the father of William D. (Sr.) Thomas married Polly, daughter of Maj. Nalls. Thomas and his family came with a large party over the mountains from North Carolina. They first settled near Mt. Pleasant but owing to the cruelties of the Indians to a former settlement there, they moved in 1810 to Williamson Co. TN. It was here Thomas died. From there, William and his family moved to Leiper's Creek and from there to Goshen. The next move was to Santa Fe. Here they purchased a large farm. William D. was born and raised here. William D. was the second husband of Lucinda. She married first Raleigh Dodson. Their son was R. P. Dodson of Columbia, a farmer, merchant, livery stable and hotel man. It is interesting to know that Lucinda M. Younger is buried beside her twin sister Louisa Caughron in the old family graveyard. Lucinda was the second wife of William Younger. His first wife was Elizabeth Wakefield, daughter of Joseph and Margarette Church Wakefield. William, born 1809, died 1889; Elizabeth b. 1814, died 1852. In the same graveyard Mary Ann Margarette Oakley, wife of William F. Oakley and daughter of William and E. Younger, 1831-1852. Three children of William and Elizabeth bear the dates 1834, 1836 and 1841. Another daughter was Sarah Younger Church 1837-1928. William D. Younger, Jr. married first M. E., daughter of Dabney and Mary C. Ladd Byrd. Their children: Eugene, Ella, Raleigh, Tennie, Dale (moved to Columbia), Loraine (died early), Horace D., Haskell, W. C. (Cecil). The Youngers at one time lived in the Church place in Sante Fe. They moved to Duplex near Spring Hill. There they purchased a big farm. The family scattered and Mr. Younger moved to Columbia. He married second Carrie Alexander. In Rose Hill we see these three stones: Younger, W.M. "Little Bill" 1858-1950 (should be W.D. b 29 May 1857) Younger, Etta 29 Sept. 1866-28 June 1902 Younger, Carrie Alexander, wife of W.D. Younger 1869-1938. Cemetery out of Sante Fe on Fly Road Younger, Lucinda M. 9 Apr 1817 - 3 Feb 1893 - bur. beside twin sister, Louisa Caughron, nee Witherspoon. Louisa Witherspoon Caughron died 16 Jan 1891 at the home of her twin sister, Lucinda Younger, daughters of David and Penelope Witherspoon Maj. Wm. Younger died 17 June 1889 at Sante Fe. "One of the largest attended funerals ever in this county". He had a long and useful career. Age 82. Buried in Goshen Cemetery.
