I was told to email regarding the Younger's by Wilma Hillman. I was hoping you could provide any new information and a connection to the Younger Gang. My great grandfather was Ethelbert Younger b. 4/9/1891 in Woodford County, Kentucky. His father was Peter Younger, b. 11/9/1859 in Pendleton County, Kentucky to Charles Younger b. ~1821 in Grant County, Kentucky, who was married to Margaret Laughlin. Haven't been able to go any further than this. Again, any new info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Codi Current

I guess I forgot to tell you how to subscribe to this list. Frankly it has been so long since I did it, I have really forgotten. perhaps someone on the list would be kind enough to tell you how to do it. The serious problem we have with your Charles Younger is that we really don't know who his father was. The list of Youngers in Kentucky is relatively small. In the year of his birth 1821. In 1820 we had the following Youngers in KY: Henry County - Daniel from W. Port (I've never run into him before) Bullitt County - Henry and Isaac Shelby County - John Nicholas County - Joshua in Carlisle Clay County - Nimrod Harrison County - Peter on the E. Licking Logan County - Samuel and William A Hopkins County - Willis in Belville Not a very daunting number. Peter from Harrison County was the closest to Grant and Pendleton Counties where Charles is reported to have been born. Peter later moved to Grant County. The names given to his children seem to have a direct tie to the Peter Younger family. His first daughter was named Catherine. She was Peter's daughter who perished in the cholera epidemic of 1833. Two of his male children were named Charles and Peter. Charles also perished in the cholera epidemic of 1833. At first it seemed simple to say, "Aha! He must be Peter's child but Peter's wife had another son (John) in 1821. It isn't likely that his wife had two children in the same year, unless she knew a secret to shortening the gestation period. Not likely. At first I thought this Charles could have been the son of Charles who had an early death from cholera perhaps raised by his grandfather but Charles was not married until 1828 six years after the birth of our subject. A death certificate for Peter (the junior) has not been much help except to say the wife of Charles and mother of Peter is unknown. Reluctantly I raise a question that might not be easily accepted but could Charles be an out of wedlock child of Peter's? If gut feelings mean anything (and they really don't) I have one that this man is definitely part of the gang family. Any ideas anyone? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Current, Codi D (CHFS CBS Fleming)" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 12, 2006 1:48 PM Subject: [YOUNGER] Younger's >I was told to email regarding the Younger's by Wilma Hillman.
