  • Notes 
    • He and his wives had at least 8 children. Several married into Glenn, Curry and Young families.

      His will is abstracted as follows by Linda Baker in a 2010 email."1793 - March 7th - Augusta Co., VA Will Book No. VIII p54 (Vol. III p200) Will of Andrew YOUNG's father Robert YOUNG - Proved 16th April 1793...First I give and Bequeath unto Margaret my Wife a Cow and horse to be kept on the place with all the household furniture to be at her Disposal and her living on the place while she remains single to be maintained by my son Andrew with grain that will keep the family. Likewise I bequeath unto my Daughter Jean all the Effects that she now Claims with her living on the place to be maintained by Andrew my son while she remains unmarried and a horse & Cow kept on the place...Likewise I Give and Bequeath unto James my son the sum of twenty pounds Lawful mony of Virginia to be paid by my son Andrew after he comes of age or my Executors before he comes of age if they can Likewise I Give and Bequeath unto Robert my son the sum of twenty pounds Lawful mony of Virginia to be paid by my son Andrew after he comes of age or my Executors before he comes of age if they can Likewise I Give and Bequeath unto William my son the sum of thirty pounds lawful money of Virginia to be paid by my son Andrew after he comes of Age or my Executores before he comes of age if they can...Likewise I Give and Bequeath unto Andrew my son all my Land that is the plantation I now live on by him his Heirs and Assigns freely to possessed and enjoyed with all my farming utensils upon paying therefore mentioned Legacies ...7 Mar 1793: To wife, Margaret, to be maintained by son Andrew; to dau., Jean, unmarried; to dau., Margaret Glenn; to son, James, infant; to son, Robert, infant; to son, William, infant; to dau., Sarah Curry; to dau., Lydia, unmarried; to son, Andrew, all land. Executors: son, William and George Glenn. Teste: John Denson, Samuel Curry, Robert Curry. Proved 16th April 1793 by John Dennison and the Currys." Infant at the time meant under age. There was no term for minor at that time. George Glenn, one of his executors, was the father-in-law of Robert's daughter, Margaret and son Robert's wife, Sarah Glenn. He was also a peer of Robert Young and likely trusted friend. (CL-468) The original is in Will Book VIII, p. 54, Augusta Co., VA.

      Robert's estate appraisement is listed on Page 63 in Chalkley, Vol 3.--Robert Young's appraisement by John Dennison, James Young, Jno. Laur. July 1793.

      The following info is from Sharon Young Jebavy. "Robert Young, d. April 1793, Augusta Co., VA, m. twice (there are deeds by him with two different wives given names, m. 2nd @ 1780)Children: Robert m. Sarah Glenn 27 Feb 1792 (d. of George Glenn) James m. Margaret Kennedy 1802 Rockbridge Co., VA, he died @ 1829, Rockbridge Co., (according to Morton), Andrew m. Margaret Glass, 7 Nov 1797, Augusta Co., VA. William Sarah m. Robert Curry, 19 March 1791.JeanLydia m. John Reed, 30 Sept 1800.Margaret m. James Glenn, 27 Dec 1785.Elizabeth m. Hugh Kennedy, 11 Nov 1802 (This is the only child not mentioned in his will plus son Andrew is mentioned and not named here.)"

      The following records from Chalkley probably applies to this Robert.*1759, page 36, Robert Young, son of John is delineated this way in the Merchants records.* D(eed) B(ook) 12, pg. 222, 1765 Robert and Jean Young.* DB 11, pg 256, Robert Patterson to Robert Young.*Page 420.--15th October, 1765. Jane McCown's bond (with Robt. Young, Jno. Young, Peter Wiley) as administratrix of Moses McCown.*Page 488.--17th March. 1767. Jane Davis and Saml. Davis' bond (with Jno. McKee, Robt. Young) as administrators of Jas. Davis.*Page 11.--13th May, 1767. John Creighton's estate appraised by Wm. McKee, Robt. Young, Jno. McKee.*Page 102.--10th June, 1772. Jane Patterson's estate appraised by John Blair, James Gambel, Robert Young, William Frame. *Restored Marriage Bonds, Volume 9, 1802-1803, pg. 65Hugh Kennedy and James Young, surety, in bond on marriage of said Hugh Kennedy and Elizabeth Young, daughter of Robert Young, dec., of Augusta Co., dated 11 Nov 1802, consent by James Young for sister Elizabeth, past 21 years to marry Hugh Kennedy of Rockbridge co., VA." This record fits here perfectly except for the fact that Elizabeth is not listed in Robert's will. I suggest this is because he named all the children in his will by his first wife in his will, and felt that his 2nd wife would care properly for their daughter Elizabeth in her own will.
