| Notes |
- This James, son of John and Elizabeth, is likely the James who married Mary McCombe. This is proven by the will of James's brother, John Jr. of Middle River who names all of the children of John and Elizabeth as his siblings and also bequeaths items to his nephew Andrew McComb, son of his sister Rebeckah.
James was a farmer and miller by trade. In 1780, he appears to have been the James Young who obtained clear title of 439 acres for 2 pounds, 5 shillings from Governor Thomas Jefferson. The land had originally belonged to Hugh Campbell and 35 acres was conveyed to James Young from John Young, Sr. who received patent for the land on July 12, 1750. It was located on Naked Creek and bordered lands of James Peters, James Bell, Edward Evans and James Dickey. He is likely the James Young who purchased 7 more acres in the head waters of Naked Creek that lay between Andrew McComb, deceased and Thomas Graham's land on Dec. 21, 1791. The land was originally warranted on July 3, 1783 according to this deed. Not being a lawyer, I do not know how to interpret this last sentence. http://lva1.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com .
He or his son James are likely the James living on Naked Creek in the Personal Property tax lists of 1800. A transcription of his will from Chalkey follows.
