- Rev. John Craig, a Presbyterian circuit rider, baptized Robert Jr. In that minister's journal it noted that Robert Jr. was born with teeth! It also indicates that he was baptized soon after birth. (CL-468)
The following record from Chalkley indicates that Robert was taken into the care of James (probably his brother or possibly his uncle) when their father died. "Page 247.--21st May, 1762. James Young's bond (with Samuel Young, Joseph Hannet) as guardian (chosen) to Robt. Young, orphan of Robert Young. "
By 1768 in fee books, Robert Jr. had moved to South Carolina. In Nov. 1771, he sold his 105/150 acres that he had inherited from his father in 1755. He was listed as a Yeoman residing in SC at this sale. These are transactions listed in Chalkley. He and his wife, Rebekka, had multiple children and lived the rest of their days in South Carolina.
His will is transcribed on Sharon Jebavy's site: "Young Connections"."Last Will and TestamentApril 14, 1810 Abbeville District, South CarolinaTo my dear beloved wife so much of the Kitchen and Household furniture as she thinks proper to take, and at her death to dispose of as she pleases; also to my dear beloved wife Rebecka Young two negroes namely Wally and John and at her death to be sold and equally divided between my three daughters Nancy, Marget and Rebecka, also one Riding Cheir, a horse to be purchased out of the sale money; all stock of cattle, hogs and sheep to be sold with the present crop of cotton now on hand and the money arising there from into the hands of my executors to pay off the legatees; to my son James Young, $20; to my son William Young, my negro fellow Stephen at the close of the present year; to my son Samuel Young, my negro fellow George my Waggon and Geer, the still and vessels and all the plantation tools with the weaving loom, to Joseph Neely, my negro girl Milly; to my daughter Marget Philips the value of Milly in money to be paid to my son in law William Philips as soon as it can be collected; to my daughter Rebeckah Chiles a negro woman and child now in her possession that is Anaha and her child Tabby; Samuel Young and Joseph Neely, executors. 14 April 1810.Robert Young (Seal).Wit: Basil Hallum, Joel Lipscomb Esqr., Alexr.
