Notes |
- Matthew was on the militia rolls in 1742 in Augusta Co., Virginia. Men joined the Militia rolls when they were 16 at that time period according to researcher and lawyer, Janice McAlpine. If this is the first roll he was on, then it'shat he was born by 1726. They typically acquired land at age 21, and he obtained land 5 years later, again suggesting that he was born about 1726. The following from Chalkley applies to this Matthew Young and his father. In Vol. 3 of Chaukley, Matthew sells land given to him by his father: Page 160.--4th January, 1750. Mathew Young and Agness to Peter Wallace, 150-1/2 acres. Bought by James Young from Borden, recorded in Orange and conveyed by James to Mathew. On Whistle Creek of James River; corner to Low Todd. Teste: Joseph Lapsley, Richard Woods. Then later in the year, Matthew purchases more land from his father James: *Young, James (Sarah) 1750, for 12p; 150 1/2 acres sold, 1750, Matthew Young for 12pence... or a repeat of it in Vol 318-May 1760 James Young, miller, to Matthew Young, farmer, 150-1/2 acres, where Mathew lives on Whistle Creek of James; corner Lou Todd. Teste: Arthur and Abraham Brown, James McCown" when it might have been recorded at the settlement of James' estate.
