Notes |
- The following record in Chalkley might apply to this William since one of William's sisters married a Henderson. Page 107.--21st November, 1772. David Henderson, son of Danl. Henderson, puts himself apprentice to William Young, blacksmith, to learn his art, trade or mystery for 4-1/2 years. Teste: Wm. Robertson, Wm. Anderson. In any case, in 1770, William's brother John sells him some of his land according to the following Chaukley 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." If he obtained land in 1770, it usually indicated that he was at least 21 years of age at this point in time. I've calculated his birthdate on this record.
