Notes:

In 1770, John sold land to his brother, William according to the following Chaukley, V. 3 record: "DB 16, pg 193, 19 March 1770: John and Margaret Young to William Young, 53 ac, both sides of Middle River; Lines and Corners; Alexander Craig, John Hall; Land patented to John Young 20 July 1768; Test Thos. Madison, Robert Young, Francis Brown; Delivered to Wm. Young 25 June 1773." This would suggest that William was born before 1750, and that his older brother John who already owned land, was born before 1749. He made a will before going to fight in the Revolutionary War. In it, he names no children and appears to be dividing his estate between his siblings or their children. It is transcribed here by Maggie Phillips.

Hugh gave him one of his parcels of land in 1755 and 1766. (CL-562) He was of the Presbyterian faith. He achieved the rank of Captain as an aid to General George Washington and is the ancestor of the late Senator John McCain. He married his cousin. "AUGUSTA COUNTY COURT RECORDS. ORDER BOOK No. XVI. AUGUST 20, 1777. pg. (222) Tithables to be taken in following Companies: Capt. John Young's." "JUNE 16, 1778. Wm. Bowyer in Capt.

(88) John Kirk, vice Robert Anderson, resigned, is appointed Captain, and David Finley, vice John Young, and William Edmonston, Ensigns." The following deposition in the courts gives wonderful insight into John Young at age 81. Chaukley, V. II, pg. 222 "John Young deposes, in Augusta, 15th June, 1818, he knew John and James Miller. James was son of John. Deponent is 81 years old last March. He came to this country when 4 years old and has lived 6 miles from Staunton ever since. He was grown when he knew the Millers. Deponent is son of Hugh Young, who was security for Randal Lockhart, deputy sheriff..." The full record reads as follows to help know who John Young's neighbors were: "57 acres to James Miller 20th August, 1748, yet on 14th February, 1763, sold the whole tract to John Miller. James Miller on 1st August, 1754, sold the 57 acres to Jones Henderson, who sold to John Parris 18th August, 1778. John Miller conveyed whole 331 acres to orator 18th October, 1784. David died, testate, in Augusta, leaving son John, now of Greenbrier; daughter Sebiny, alias Tibbey, alias Tabitha Stuart; daughter Elizabeth, who married Richard Woods of Albemarle, by whom she had 3 sons: William, George, and Richard Woods; stepdaughter, Mary Pall. Sebiny Stuart married Samuel Williams of Greenbrier, by whom she had a son Richard and a daughter ____, who married Thomas Creigh of Greenbrier. Mary Pall left one child, a daughter, Mary, who married Cornelius Maupin and lives in Albemarle. John Miller died, intestate, leaving children, viz: Patrick, James and Sarah Miller. Sarah married Joseph Henderson of Augusta and had children, viz: John, Robert, Joseph, William, Sally, Jane, who married Alexander Buchanan, and Mary, who married Robert Morrison. Patrick and James Miller live in Bath. John and James Miller were brothers. John Stuart has a son Lewis Stuart. John Young deposes, in Augusta, 15th June, 1818, he knew John and James Miller. James was son of John. Deponent is 81 years old last March. He came to this country when 4 years old and has lived 6 miles from Staunton ever since. He was grown when he knew the Millers. Deponent is son of Hugh Young, who was security for Randal Lockhart, deputy sheriff, who defaulted in failing to return a writ of election and suit was brought. 15th June, 1818, William Robertson deposes, in Augusta, David Stuart's children and widow lived with Gen. George Mathews, who married a stepdaughter of David's; daughter of Mrs. Stuart, deponent. Captain is rising 70 years.

He and his wife are one of the few Young's whose birthdate and death date are recorded in Chalkley, V. II: Capt. John Young, born March 25th, 1737; died December 5th, 1824. Mary Young, wife of above, born March 1st, 1744; died April 2d, 1772. The following records in Chaukley might apply to this John Young: *MARCH, 1764 (C).

Notes:

He and his wife (a cousin of his) immigrated to America in 1740/1741 according to his son Johns' testimony in court when he was 81 years of age. In 1742, he and his brothers can be found in the muster lists for Augusta Co., Virginia. Chaukley, V.II, pg 509, "Capt. John Willson's Lists: John Wilson, Captain; Sam Calehison, Nathan Lusk, John Shields, John Greer, John Patterson, George Davison. John Hunter, Wm. Hunter, James Hunter, John Rusk, James Clark, Wm. Vance, Rob Croket, John Trumble, Wm. King, Sa. Walace, John Spear, Thomas Peery, Alex. McConnel, Rob. Young, James Young, Jacob Lockard, Patt.

Leadgerwood, Morris Offral, Rob Davies, John Brown, Wm. McClantok, Wm. Johnson, John Young, Hugh Young, Thos. Kirkpatrick, David Camble, John McCutcheon." He lived near his brother, Robert, in Augusta Co., VA where they lived out the rest of their lives. He received a patent for his 586 acres of land in Beverley Manor (later to become Augusta Co., VA) in 1746, three years before he and his brothers all bought land on Feb. 28, 1749. He acquired 200 acres on that day in Beverley Manor. He is the Hugh Young in the following Chalkley record, "Page 109.--15th February, 1748. Jane Cook's bond as administratrix of Patrick Cook, with sureties Hugh Young, Robt. Young, John Spear... Page 55.--15th May, 1754. Hugh Young's bond as guardian (appointed) to Mary and John Cook, orphans of Patrick Cook, with sureties Robert Patterson, William Hamilton. Jane was his sister." He is the Hugh Young in the following record from Chalkley, V.II, Page 22.--"William McFeters and Patrick Martin report, viz: Processioned for James Bell, Maurice Ofrail; Wm. King, Samuel Wallace, HughYoung, John Trimble, Wm. McFeters, Jacob Lockhart, Thos. Kirkpatrick, James Clerk, John McCery, Nathan Patterson, Capt. John Wilson, Robert Campbell, Andrew Pickens and Wm. Martin, Robert Campbell, David Campbell, James Lockhart, David Cunningham, Alex. Campbell, Patrick Cook, Patrick Martin." We do know that Hugh had at least 3 children from records in Chaukley. Their son Thomas was killed as a teenager at the Battle of Kerr's Creek. Their daughter, Mary, married John Cartmill. Their son John was an aid to General Washington and was an ancestor to our current day Senator, John McCain.

However, Hugh and brother James did not leave wills, so in reality, we do not know how many children either Hugh or James had. We do know that Hugh was sued by William Dean, the husband of Mary Cooke, the only child of Patrick Cooke in 1763. He was her guardian and Uncle. This case was concluded in 1765.

The early William in the area that had children starting in 1763 could be the son of this Hugh or his brother James C. Young.The following records likely apply to him in Chaulkley's.*Page 547.--28th February, 1749. Same to Hugh Young, farmer, 200 acres in Beverley Manor, joining his former survey. Pat Martin's line. Corner Pickin's old place; William McClintock's line. Teste: John Brown.<sup>*Page 32.--25th March, 1749. John Young's estate, Dr. to James C. Young, administrator: To funeral charges,

Hugh married Agnes SITTLINGTON about 1725 in , Antrim, Ulster, Northern Ireland. Agnes (daughter of Alexander SITTLINGTON and Charlotte IRVING) was born about 1700 in Ballygown, Antrim, Ireland; died in 1775 in Swoope, Augusta County, Virginia; was buried in Swoope, Augusta County, Virginia, United States of America. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Isaac married Jean GORDON. Jean died in in , Augusta, VA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He is likely the oldest Young in Cecil Co., MD in 1720 when he is asked to preach and see if enough Presbyterians have moved into the region to have minister established there. The fact that he was asked to do this and has the title of Mr. indicates age and land holdings.

An attorney, Janice McAlpine, pointed out that all of the Youngs of Beverly Manor and Naked Creek cannot be the sons of John who died in 1747 as his closest next of kin is listed as his brother, James. What this suggests to me is that we descend through James instead as we have triangulations representing John Lamont Young and his wife Annie.

With new evidence and understanding from Attorney Janice McAlpine, I do not believe that this John ever came to the American colonies. Most of what has been attributed to him in the colonies actually was about his likely children. His stated son's John and James owned land in Augusta County by 1738 and appear to be the earliest Youngs in the records. Robert's family came by 1740. Hugh followed in 1740/1741 according to Hugh's son John's testimony when he was 81 in 1818.

We now know for certain that John and James of Back Creek in the Beverly Patent of Augusta Co., Virginia was not the John married to Annie Houston. It took a lawyer and descendant, Janice McAlpine to discern this. It was assumed that the early John and James C. Young on Back Creek was the John married to Annie and his brother James from Ireland. However, John died intestate (without leaving a will) in 1747. His named brother James Young was the court appointed administrator of the estate rather than the executor of a will. Multiple things are significant here. The John who died in 1747 had no descendants or heirs. We know this because his brother James was referred to as "his nearest heir" in the records. Attorney Janice McAlpine points out that by law, a brother could only be an heir if the deceased had no living descendants.

The second significant point here is since John who died in 1747 left no children then he was not John Young who married Annie Houston in Ireland and left a number of sons and daughters.

Thirdly, it means that we also do not have proof that John married to Annie has a brother James that I have seen other than the misinterpretation of the administration of John who died in 1747 in Augusta Co., Virginia.
Let this last paragraph sink in. It has far reaching effect on how we have interpreted the data up to 2010.

One more clear pattern needs to be noted about this family. The following persons interact in the land, road and court records from Beverly and the Borden Platts which suggests they are siblings: John, James C., Hugh, Robert and Nancy. Sarah, often attributed to this group of siblings, lived on Naked Creek with her husband and all interactions in her and her son Robert's family occur with Youngs in the Naked Creek area. In other words, she might not be the sibling of John Young.

Even so, DNA evidence indicates that my Sarah Young is descended from John and Annie Houston's ancestral tree. I have 9 triangulations between 5 persons who descend from John and Annie Houston Young between 5.2 and 6.6 cM's with my Mother's DNA. She was born in 1916 helping us to get these. These are on chromosome 15 from 29,000,000-31,000,000. We don't know how the Naked Creek group ties in to John and Annie Houston Young, but we know they do.
