• Notes

  According to Chalkley, in 1769, James Young, age 14, the orphan of James Young, selected John Young as his guardian. John Young was probably the son of Hugh Young. The sureties on John Young's bond were neighbors from the Back Creek areae Beverley Patent. It is likely that this orphan was the son of James Young Jr. who inherited the land on Back Creek from his father James C. Young. In that time frame in Virginia according to Attorney Janice McAlpine, a male's land automatically went to his oldest son upon his death. It is useful to note that this James Aunt Isabelle (widow of Patrick Young) moved with her children and second husband, a Mr. Summers to Fayette Co., Kentucky about 1779. It seems possible that James III could have moved with them. What we do know from Chaulkley though is that he inherited his father's land. The date the land transferred to James Young III is not given:Chalkley's VIII, page 283, Deed Book 2, Page 645.
