Young, William

Notes:

7. William Young b. County Antrim and migrated to America at an earlybut unknown date, settl ed in Augusta Co., VA, later migrating to KYbefore 1777, when KY was still dangerous India n territory andeveryone lived in a fort or station, dying in 1818 in KY and wasreportedly m arried three times. Only the first name of his thirdwife, Mary, is known at this time. Willi am was a Revolutionary Warsoldier who may have served only in the forts/stations of the KY frontier. He is listed as a member of Capt. Boyle's Company, out ofLogan's Fort, and statione d at forts along Dick's River in LincolnCo. A Col. Young is later identified in a Draper int erview with Mrs.Arnold as being at Craig's Station. In the Fall of 1783, all theinhabitant s of Craig's Station went to Gilbert's Creek Station,including the William Young family. Al l remained at Gilbert's CreekStation except Capt. John Craig. William claimed two 400 acre l andgrants on Gilbert's Creek, one was denied, probably having had a validclaim by someone e lse. To get the grant he received, he had to havebeen in KY after January 1778 and before Oc tober 1779. There is aChalkley court reference dated 1779, listing, among many others, bot hWilliam Young and William Hughes, who would become William Young's sonThomas' father-in-la w, as delinquent on their taxes because they have"gone to Kentucky." This delinquent tax lis t was for 1777 or 1778,making their trip to KY fall into the time frame in which son Thoma swas born. He was probably born shortly after their arrival in KY, mostlikely at Logan's Fo rt.

Notes:

*John Young (Andrew Lamont Young, Sir John Lamont) m. Annie Houston inCounty Antrim before 1 695. He is the only known son of Andrew andMary Adair Young, but there were probably others . Possible siblingsfor John include: James, Robert, Matthew, Charles and William, asfound i n the Carmoney Church records in County Antrim, NorthernIreland. There were possibly others . Many Youngs still live in theLarne area who probably descend from Andrew Young. Annie Hous ton isfrom the same family as Texas' Sam Houston. There are some entries inChalkley's Cour t References of the Scots/Irish Settlement of AugustaCo., VA that suggest that John may hav e come to America with hisadult children. If these references are to this John Young, then i tis a certainty that he had a brother James, as James is madeadministrator of this John's e state and referred to as John'sbrother. This John died in 1747. James then died before he co uld getJohn's estate settled. Research is ongoing.
