  1. 1.  Sarah TODDSarah TODD was born in 1722; and died.

    Notes:

    She had children by her first husband, a McMurtry when she married her second husband, James Young. Her son Samuel McMurtry likely received property from his father as a bondsman was named for him. On Nov. 10, 1755, her marriage to James Young was proved and recorded even though it had occurred in 1751. Women of that day could only have legal authority over their own lands (possibly inherited from her father or previous husband) by having their marriage contracts proved and recorded. The fact that she had that done at all showed some savy on her part, and suggests she came to her second marriage with land that she owned.

    Sarah married James C. YOUNG in May 1751. James (son of John YOUNG OF CLAN LAMONT OF SCOTLAND and Lady Elizabeth Anne "Annie" HOUSTON) was born on 21 Dec 1709 in , Antrim, Ulster, Northern Ireland; died on 20 Nov 1755 in Whistle Creek, Augusta, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
