John Archibald Young was buried after 17 October 1838 at Beech Hill Cemetery, Giles Co., Tennessee, USA; From Find A Grave:
     He was a mentioned with Capt. Nathaniel (I) Young and Patty Crawford at Citation; Young [2011:1084-86]:
     "Nathaniel Young [y1a], son of William Young Senr and an unknown mother, was born about 1750. His birth date is just an estimate since he was likely age 21 or older when he married, and had a son born in 1774. Therefore, Nathaniel’s birth year was in the early 1750s, or before. He spent most of his adult life in 96 District of South Carolina Colony in what would become Spartanburg Co in 1785, and probably in Union Co since it was just a short ride to the east. Nathaniel married Patty Crawford about 1773 and they lived along the James Creek branch of the Tyger River. Nathaniel was on the British side during the Revolution. There were only two men named Nathaniel or Nathan Young living in South Carolina Colony in these years. Nathan was granted land in the colony in future Abbeville Co south of Spartanburg Co from 1767, and in 1784 for service performed in the Militia; a British sympathizer would not have been granted government land after the war. There was a Lieutenant Nathaniel Young of the Spartanburg area named as a member of Major Zachariah Gibbs' Loyalist Regiment (English) for the last six months of 1780. Some of the other members of this roster were Captain William Young (a Major in 1782), Captain Benjamin Wofford (he moved north after the War), Private Nicholas Holley (no doubt the ancestor of the Holley families of Giles Co TN), George Crawford (who owned land along James Creek, the north west corner of which belonged to John A Young [Y1], son of Nathaniel, in 1808; see below), and others known to have homes in the Tyger River-James Creek community. A 22 May 1783 list by Continental Commander Colonel Benjamin Roebuck of the men who sided with the British and who were members of the Spartanburg Regiment shows tha t Wi l l i am Young, Benjamin Wofford, and Nicholas Holley were alive then, while Nathaniel was dead, having died in the line of duty. In March 1787 his widow, as administrator of Nathaniel's estate, was sued in the Spartanburg Co courts by John Langston for Nathaniel's debts. In 1790 Patty was living two doors from Nathaniel's brother Richard, with her children. In 1800 she was not found, so could have remarried or been living in the household of a relative.
     "Sixty six acres of James Creek-Tyger River land was sold by William Young Senr's grandson John Archibald Young [Y1] son of Nathaniel, on 23 December 1808 in which the land was described as being "at the north west corner of a tract of two hundred acres originally granted to George Crawford beginning at said corner on a hickory tree near
James Creek." This 200 acres was part of Crawford's land obtained in the 1760s after 1764. Since at most only one generation had gone by before Nathaniel took title and passed it to John, Nathaniel must have obtained the 200 acres from George Crawford himself. It would be very likely that Nathaniel was George Crawford's son-in-law. The given name of "George" in the Young families of James Creek is only found in the name of Nathaniel's grandson, son of Nathaniel Young Jr [Y2]. It should be noted, though, that the new U.S. government systematically "escheated" land from those who fought on the British side during the Revolution. Since George Crawford would have fallen into this category, his property may have been bought in government auctions by his Continental sympathizing neighbors after the war ended. Nathaniel's relatives (Richard Young? William Young Senr?) may have bought George Crawford's escheated land in a government auction and passed it to Nathaniel's children. Or it may have been Nathaniel's and George's land which were both escheated, and bought and then passed back to Nathaniel's heirs. There are no records to show this, but these kind of events were common. Since William Young Senr's will does not mention Nathaniel, Patty, or Nathaniel's children, William may have already provided land for Nathaniel before the will was written, and then there was no need to mention Nathaniel by name in the will. It was common in wills of the pre-20th Century to not provide for the eldest children in the parents' will because the older children had already received their inheritance upon reaching adulthood and / or upon getting married.
     "The 1790 census indicates that there were only six children in Patty's household, but could easily have a seventh who was old enough to have moved from his parents' home by 1790. There are many deed records of the early 19th Century in which a William Young was a witness. It would be expected that Nathaniel would name a son after his father, so it is here assumed that the unexplained William was Nathaniel's eldest child. The seven children of Nathaniel and Patty were"
     "See the Loyalist List following the Major Thomas Young Memoir for a list of those British Loyalists in this part of SC who were killed by the Colonists during the War.
     "See the biography of Captain Isaac Young for possible ties to Nathaniel. The above George Crawford is also listed as a member of those Loyalists who went to Orangeburg, SC with Lieutenant Colonel John H Cruger after the evacuation of Fort Ninety Six, and received six months pay for the latter half of 1780. There were other Crawford men and women listed as Loyalists in SC. In 1768 George Washington, and Captain William Crawford of SC who had accompanied Washington on the expedition against Fort Duquesne in PA ten years earlier, set out to buy up large tracts of land in the Pennsylvania Colony. Any relationship between both of these Crawford men is unknown.
     "The Orange Co VA Order Book 2, on 24 Jul 1740 (Page 211), states that Patrick Crawford made oath that he, Ann, James, George, Margaret, and Mary Crawford came from Ireland to Philadelphia, and then came to Virginia Colony. It is not known if there is any connection between the George Crawford just mentioned and the George Crawford of Orangeburg who had land along James Creek in Spartanburg Co. There are probate records dated 11 June 1785 in Abbeville Co SC, in which a George Crawford's estate is involved. In these records are named Sarah Crawford (the widow?), Richard Nalley, and Abednego Green as administrators. Appraisers of the estate were Joseph Wofford, Thomas Young, and two others. A Joseph Wofford was a witness to a land purchase between Bezin Holland and wife Mary to Richard Young in Spartanburg Co in December 1796; Benjamin Wofford lived close to Richard in 1790. Appraiser Thomas Young may have been the brother of Richard and Nathaniel Young.
     "In Feb 1833 the estate of a Joseph Crawford in Abbeville Co paid W A Young $2.25. The records named Joseph Crawford's daughter Isabella, a minor in Dec 1831. W A Young could be the son of Richard Young who was Nathaniel Young's brother. (61,NY, MD, GE,JE, 1aeyz)."⁸

According to the 1850 and 1860 censues, this Rachel was born ca 1790 in South Carolina. However, I have found no clear proof that Rachel (Young) Pitts was part of this particular family and have chosen to exclude her at this stage.^9,10,11

Reference: Young [2011:1015-17]:
     "John Archibald Young [Y1], son of Nathaniel Young and Patty Crawford of the future Spartanburg Co SC, was born in 1774 in the area along the intersection of James Creek and Tyger River. His father died when John was but a boy of about 9, leaving John, his three or four brothers, possibly two sisters, and his mother Patty. In 1790 the family was living in the part of the County where the Tyger River crosses the Spartanburg-Union Co line. They lived in the James Creek-Tyger River neighborhood close to Nathaniel's brother Richard Young. As time went on, John owned land previously held by George Crawford, land next to his grandfather William Young's land. He married and had the first of his ten children there. His wife was Nancy Smith, one of many children of John Buckner Smith and Dianna _____ of nearby Dutchman's Creek. John and Nancy were members of Friendship Baptist Church of Spartanburg Co (a few miles north of James Creek). February 1792 deed records (Book F, Page 39) show that Buckner and Dianna sold a 127 acre plantation on Cain Creek near Tyger River to a Benjamin Grist, and in 1795 Buckner bought 126 acres along Dutchman's Creek, which was near the neighborhood of Richard and Nathaniel Young at James Creek. Therefore, John lived a short walk to Buckner's home for a few years prior to when he and Dianna were married.
     "This couple belonged to the Tyger River Baptist Church (also called Friendship) at the turn of the 19th Century, as did many other local people who were later found in Giles Co TN. John and Nancy were probably married there about 1793. This pioneer church was located sixteen miles south east of the town of Spartanburg (about where the present town of Glenn Springs is today), and about five miles north of where John and Nancy had their home. In May 1801 John was "excluded for the sin of intemperence" (drinking or eating too much) by the church leaders. Nancy was born in 1776, so was about 17 at the time, a common age for a young woman to be married in those days.
     "On 23 December 1808 John sold his small farm along James Creek to his brother-in-law Archibald Smith. This sale was witnessed by John Holley (probably the husband of John's niece Mary T Young [Y4a]) and by John's father-in-law Buckner Smith. Within a few weeks of this sale, John, Nancy, and their four sons and three daughters moved to Bradshaw Creek in eastern Giles Co TN. In March 1812 Archibald Smith sold the farm and also moved to the plush countryside of Giles Co living next door and east of John and Nancy; witnesses of this sale were Richard Young and William Young. Richard was John's uncle, and William was either a cousin or a brother. Although John and family arrived in Giles Co in early 1809, there is no record of him owning any land there until 22 February 1814 when he bought 171 acres along Bradshaw Creek from Samuel Polk of Maury Co. And in October 1816 John bought 100 acres along the headwaters of Bradshaw Creek, from Polk, land next to the first purchase. This is today at Beech Hill; the "headwaters of Bradshaw Creek," called Little Bradshaw Creek today, runs just west of the home he build there about 1816 or 1817. A witness of the first deed was Nathaniel Young, and the second deed was witnessed by John Young [Y1b], son of John and Nancy. Because John's brother Nathaniel was living nearby in Maury Co, it is not known whether witness Nathaniel Young was John's son or brother.
     "In 1819 Nancy died and was buried in Beech Hill Cemetery just up the hill and west of their home (which was built soon after 1816, and was still occupied in 2010). Her gravestone said "Consort Of John Young." John then married Mrs Nancy ____ Buchanan, who already had a daughter, Mrs Frances T Craven, wife of John Craven. John and Nancy were members of the United Baptist Church of Christ in Giles Co. For at least 15 years prior to his death on 17 October 1838, John was a local Justice of the peace. He was buried in Beech Hill Cemetery next to Nancy Smith.
     "In these early years, it was quite common to have children spaced 2 and 3 years apart. In the 1820 census, in John's home, the males were: one son under age 10 (Archibald), one son age 16-18 (Spencer), two sons age 16-25 (Buckner and William), and John, age 45 or older. Sons Nathaniel and John Jr had already married and left home. In 1830 in John's home t he r e wa s one ma l e age 5-9 (grandson William A Young, son of John's late son John Jr), one male age 15-19 (Archibald), and John, age 50-59. Missing in the neighborhood were son's Nathaniel (died in the 1820s), John Jr (died in the 1820s), and William Young (recently married, and was perhaps living with his in-laws). Son Spencer was married and lived next door to John; son Buckner was married and lived in the same area, but quite a few doors away. In 1840 in Nancy Young's home (John's widow), there were no sons. Living next door to Nancy was son Archibald (age 20-29) and son William (age 30-39). Sons Buckner and Spencer each lived in their own homes in Giles Co, closer to each other than they were to Archibald and William. John A Young and Nancy Smith had at least eleven children:
     "The Tyger River Baptist Church (also called Friendship Baptist Church) was closely affiliated with Boiling Spring Baptist Church, which was in Union Co close to the home of Major Thomas Young. Families of the Tyger River Church from 1801 to 1804 who were also found in TN counties within a few years were: Beard, Golightly, Meadows, Moore, Smith, Willeford, Willis, and Young (John and wife Nancy Smith).
     "Buckner Smith, John's father-in-law, and Buckner's wife Diana probably moved to Bradshaw with their son Archibald Smith about 1812, from Dinwiddie Co VA. The 1789 personal property tax list of Dinwiddie shows Archibald Smith and Millington Smith, and other Smith families. In 1790 Millington was living near John Young's uncles Richard and Thomas Young, and near John's mother, in Spartanburg Co SC.
     "A Charles Moore, a pioneer of Scotch-Irish descent, moved to Spartanburg Co from PA about 1763 and built his log home 8 miles southeast of the present town of Spartanburg. It would be reasonable to assume that this Charles Moore was the ancestor of most, if not all of the Moores of Spartanburg Co into the early 19th Century.

William and one of the Johns were brothers. The Thomas enumerated is listed as 45 and over, so too old to be their brother Thomas. of the two Johns, one (line 12) is listed as aged 26-44. The second (line 13) is younger - listed as aged 16-25. Thus the one on line 12 best matches John Archibald Young, the brother of William (line 17). The Thomas on line 4 is probably his uncle.

John Archibald Young appeared in the census of 1830 at Giles Co., Tennessee, USA; There are two "Jno" YOUNGs in the 1830 census. John #1 (on p. 209) is next to Spencer and probably is Spencer's father. John #2 is on p. 141, but the adults are too young to be John Archibald, the father of the brothers Spencer and John, and the children are younger than the known children of John Archibald and Nancy (Smith) YOUNG. However, incorrect ages in early census enumerations were not uncommon. Nancy (SMITH) YOUNG apparently died in 1819, so the older woman in the 1830 census enumeration of John #1, may have been a second wife, since he had several young children at the time of his 1st wife's death.

His birth date is just an estimate since he was likely age 21 or older when he married, and had a son born in 1774. Therefore, Nathaniel’s birth year was in the early 1750s, or before. He spent most of his adult life in 96 District of South Carolina Colony in what would become Spartanburg Co in 1785, and probably in Union Co since it was just a short ride to the east. Nathaniel married Patty Crawford about 1773 and they lived along the James Creek branch of the Tyger River. Nathaniel was on the British side during the Revolution. There were only two men named Nathaniel or Nathan Young living in South Carolina Colony in these years.

In 1790 Patty was living two doors from Nathaniel's brother Richard, with her children. In 1800 she was not found, so could have remarried or been living in the household of a relative.

     "Joseph Young [Y3], son of Nathaniel Young and Patty Crawford, was born in 1780 or 1781 in 96 District (which became Spartanburg Co in 1785) in SC. Since census records indicate that Joseph's birth date is very close to the 29 July 1781 birth date of his brother Thomas [Y4], they may have been twins. Joseph moved to Maury Co TN with his brother Nathaniel in 1805, or soon after. He was named with Nathaniel to serve on jury duty in March 1809 in Maury Co. See Nathaniel's biography. Joseph moved to Giles Co by 1820, and bought 200 acres at Bradshaw in May 1821. He was summoned for jury duty in Giles Co in August 1824 and was a farmer. He married Sarah "Sally" _____ by 1808. Since he lived in Maury Co about 1808, and there is no record of his marriage in that Co, they must have married in Spartanburg Co soon before coming to TN. Sally was born 24 January 1786 in SC and died in Giles Co on 15 July 1857; she was buried in Center Point Cemetery at Bradshaw, about two miles from the home of Joseph's brother John Archibald Young [Y1]. Joseph was a devoted family man; he and his son posted bond as guardians of William A Young [Y1b1], "orphan of John Young deceased" in November 1838. And on 12 September 1857, he gave land and slaves to his two children. On 23 December 1858 Joseph was married (by L D Harwell) to Lucy McKnight. She was born in NC in 1803. Joseph and his new wife Lucy were not found after 1860. Because of his advanced age, Joseph had probably died in the 1860s at Bradshaw where he lived for over forty years.

Thomas Xavier Young died on 18 May 1841 at Giles Co., Tennessee, USA, at age 59.^1,2
Thomas Xavier Young was buried after 18 May 1841 at Bradshaw-Center Point Cemetery, Frankewing, Giles Co., Tennessee, USA; From Find A Grave:
     He was a mentioned with Capt. Nathaniel (I) Young and Patty Crawford at Citation; Young [2011:1084-86]:
     "Nathaniel Young [y1a], son of William Young Senr and an unknown mother, was born about 1750. His birth date is just an estimate since he was likely age 21 or older when he married, and had a son born in 1774. Therefore, Nathaniel’s birth year was in the early 1750s, or before. He spent most of his adult life in 96 District of South Carolina Colony in what would become Spartanburg Co in 1785, and probably in Union Co since it was just a short ride to the east. Nathaniel married Patty Crawford about 1773 and they lived along the James Creek branch of the Tyger River. Nathaniel was on the British side during the Revolution. There were only two men named Nathaniel or Nathan Young living in South Carolina Colony in these years. Nathan was granted land in the colony in future Abbeville Co south of Spartanburg Co from 1767, and in 1784 for service performed in the Militia; a British sympathizer would not have been granted government land after the war. There was a Lieutenant Nathaniel Young of the Spartanburg area named as a member of Major Zachariah Gibbs' Loyalist Regiment (English) for the last six months of 1780. Some of the other members of this roster were Captain William Young (a Major in 1782), Captain Benjamin Wofford (he moved north after the War), Private Nicholas Holley (no doubt the ancestor of the Holley families of Giles Co TN), George Crawford (who owned land along James Creek, the north west corner of which belonged to John A Young [Y1], son of Nathaniel, in 1808; see below), and others known to have homes in the Tyger River-James Creek community. A 22 May 1783 list by Continental Commander Colonel Benjamin Roebuck of the men who sided with the British and who were members of the Spartanburg Regiment shows tha t Wi l l i am Young, Benjamin Wofford, and Nicholas Holley were alive then, while Nathaniel was dead, having died in the line of duty. In March 1787 his widow, as administrator of Nathaniel's estate, was sued in the Spartanburg Co courts by John Langston for Nathaniel's debts. In 1790 Patty was living two doors from Nathaniel's brother Richard, with her children. In 1800 she was not found, so could have remarried or been living in the household of a relative.
     "Sixty six acres of James Creek-Tyger River land was sold by William Young Senr's grandson John Archibald Young [Y1] son of Nathaniel, on 23 December 1808 in which the land was described as being "at the north west corner of a tract of two hundred acres originally granted to George Crawford beginning at said corner on a hickory tree near
James Creek." This 200 acres was part of Crawford's land obtained in the 1760s after 1764. Since at most only one generation had gone by before Nathaniel took title and passed it to John, Nathaniel must have obtained the 200 acres from George Crawford himself. It would be very likely that Nathaniel was George Crawford's son-in-law. The given name of "George" in the Young families of James Creek is only found in the name of Nathaniel's grandson, son of Nathaniel Young Jr [Y2]. It should be noted, though, that the new U.S. government systematically "escheated" land from those who fought on the British side during the Revolution. Since George Crawford would have fallen into this category, his property may have been bought in government auctions by his Continental sympathizing neighbors after the war ended. Nathaniel's relatives (Richard Young? William Young Senr?) may have bought George Crawford's escheated land in a government auction and passed it to Nathaniel's children. Or it may have been Nathaniel's and George's land which were both escheated, and bought and then passed back to Nathaniel's heirs. There are no records to show this, but these kind of events were common. Since William Young Senr's will does not mention Nathaniel, Patty, or Nathaniel's children, William may have already provided land for Nathaniel before the will was written, and then there was no need to mention Nathaniel by name in the will. It was common in wills of the pre-20th Century to not provide for the eldest children in the parents' will because the older children had already received their inheritance upon reaching adulthood and / or upon getting married.
     "The 1790 census indicates that there were only six children in Patty's household, but could easily have a seventh who was old enough to have moved from his parents' home by 1790. There are many deed records of the early 19th Century in which a William Young was a witness. It would be expected that Nathaniel would name a son after his father, so it is here assumed that the unexplained William was Nathaniel's eldest child. The seven children of Nathaniel and Patty were"
     "See the Loyalist List following the Major Thomas Young Memoir for a list of those British Loyalists in this part of SC who were killed by the Colonists during the War.
     "See the biography of Captain Isaac Young for possible ties to Nathaniel. The above George Crawford is also listed as a member of those Loyalists who went to Orangeburg, SC with Lieutenant Colonel John H Cruger after the evacuation of Fort Ninety Six, and received six months pay for the latter half of 1780. There were other Crawford men and women listed as Loyalists in SC. In 1768 George Washington, and Captain William Crawford of SC who had accompanied Washington on the expedition against Fort Duquesne in PA ten years earlier, set out to buy up large tracts of land in the Pennsylvania Colony. Any relationship between both of these Crawford men is unknown.
     "The Orange Co VA Order Book 2, on 24 Jul 1740 (Page 211), states that Patrick Crawford made oath that he, Ann, James, George, Margaret, and Mary Crawford came from Ireland to Philadelphia, and then came to Virginia Colony. It is not known if there is any connection between the George Crawford just mentioned and the George Crawford of Orangeburg who had land along James Creek in Spartanburg Co. There are probate records dated 11 June 1785 in Abbeville Co SC, in which a George Crawford's estate is involved. In these records are named Sarah Crawford (the widow?), Richard Nalley, and Abednego Green as administrators. Appraisers of the estate were Joseph Wofford, Thomas Young, and two others. A Joseph Wofford was a witness to a land purchase between Bezin Holland and wife Mary to Richard Young in Spartanburg Co in December 1796; Benjamin Wofford lived close to Richard in 1790. Appraiser Thomas Young may have been the brother of Richard and Nathaniel Young.
     "In Feb 1833 the estate of a Joseph Crawford in Abbeville Co paid W A Young $2.25. The records named Joseph Crawford's daughter Isabella, a minor in Dec 1831. W A Young could be the son of Richard Young who was Nathaniel Young's brother. (61,NY, MD, GE,JE, 1aeyz)."⁴

Reference: Per Young [2011:1129]: "Thomas Young [Y4], son of Nathaniel Young and Patty Crawford, was born 29 July 1781 in 96 District (soon to become Spartanburg Co) SC. He married Sarah _____ in Spartanburg Co about 1801, and they moved to Columbia, TN by 1818. The Giles Co census of 1850 shows that Thomas' children born by 1817 were born in SC, and the ones born after that date were born in TN. Hence Thomas and his family were the last of the James Creek- Tyger River Young clan to move to TN. In 1820 Thomas and most of his children were living at Columbia, just a few doors from his cousin Polly Young [Y6] and her husband Willis Willeford. Thomas' wife Sarah was born in SC on 23 July 1785. Her parentage is not known. She died at Bradshaw, Giles Co where they lived, on 18 September 1845; Thomas died at Bradshaw on 18 May 1841. Both are buried in Center Point Cemetery at Bradshaw, about two miles southeast of Beech Hill. Thomas' gravestone says "He lived esteemed by all who knew him and died in Christian triumph." He and Sarah had 11 children at Citation.⁵

William Young Sr. was born before 1730 at Virginia, USA; Leggitt says b. 1730-1735, probably in VA.^1,2
William Young Sr. died after March 1787 at Tyger River-James Creek area, Spartanburg Co., South Carolina, USA; Per Young [2011:1144]: "He must have died soon after March 1787, because at the time he wrote his will William was "infirm in Body." He probably died at his home in the Tyger River-James Creek area of Spartanburg Co."^1,2,4

; Per Young [2011:1144]:
     "William Young Senr [y1], of the Tyger River area of southeast central Spartanburg Co SC must have been born by the early 1730s, considering the birth dates of his known children. Where he was born is unknown, but may have been VA. There are inconclusive pieces of evidence that he, and probably some of his sons, came to James Creek from VA; see Nancy Young [Y7] and Nancy Young [Y5g]. Also, there is a court record from the 18 September 1744 court in King & Queen Co VA whereby certain citizens petitioned the court not to build a bridge over the Rappahannock and Mattiponi Rivers. Two of these petitioners were Henry Crutcher and John Young. The Crutcher name was a well established name with the Young families of Giles Co a century later; see John Crutcher Young [Y1j2] (great-grandson of William Senr) and the numerous other descendants named John C Young of the early and middle 19th Century.
     "William Senr is first found on a Colonial Platt map (Volume 8, Page 560) of 1764 in which he received 150 acres: "Pursuant to a preceipt directed under the hand and seal of the Honble Egerton Leigh Esqr Surveyor General dated the Sixth day of March 1764 I have measured and laid out unto Willm Young a Plantation or tract of Land in Berkly Co containing one hundred and fifty acres situate lying & being on a Branch of Tygar river on the south side not more than ten Inches Deep and about Eight foot wide called Jammys Creek and is Bounded all around on vacant Land, and hath such shape form and marks as the above platt Represents. Certified this 26 day of July 1764. Edwd Musgrove D.S." About the same time he obtained 300 acres nearby, and 100 more acres bounded on the east by "Wm Young Senr," on the west by George Crawford, and bounded on the remaining sides by vacant land. Both of William's tracts were a grant (Grant Book AAA, Page 323) from Governor Charles Granville Montague of the South Carolina Colony in which William had to pay the Colonial government 3 shillings sterling, or 4 shillings proclamation money, per 100 acres each following March for two years from 17 February 1767. Also, as part of the grant terms, he had to clear and bring into cultivation three percent of the land each year. Berkeley Co formed in 1683 and later discontinued under that name, became part of Spartanburg Co. It should not be confused with the present Berkeley Co close to the Atlantic coast.
     "William left a 1787 will, portions of which are as follows: "In the name of God Amen Whereas I William Young Senr of the state of South Carolina and Spartanburg Co Being infirm in Body". "will that all my Debts and funeral Charges be Paid". "Thirdly I will and Bequeth that my Land be Equally Divid Betwixt my Two sons Thomas Young and Richd Young. Thomas to have 75 acres Running North and South across the Land and his part Joining his own Land Where he now Dwells and the Lower End to the East 75 acres I give to Richd Joining to Benjamin Wofford Old Place also I will that if Edwd Smith sould Die I Give Mary his wife my Daughter Privilege to come and Live one 25 acres of that Land During her life or Widow hood Lest not to Rent out or Disposs of it Except She wants to Live on And she is not to have any Claim". "also Do Consent and Appoint my sons Thomas and Richard to be the Sole Executors of this my Last Will and Testament. fourthly I Will and Bequeth that all my Moveable Goods be Divided Equally amongst all the Rest of my Children". "this 31st Day of March one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven." It was signed and sealed by William Young, and was witnessed by James Creek-Tyger River neighbors Millenton "X" Smith and Thomas "T" Brown (both made their marks).
     "In his will, William did not mention his son William nor William Senr's late son Nathaniel nor Nathaniel's children. The biggest clue that William Senr had children other than those he named in his will are his words in his will which say "all the Rest of my Children" after he carefully named Thomas, Richard, and Mary. It was the custom in this era for the father to give an advance to the inheritance to the older children who had married and left home. And there are other clues of more children: On 4 April 1795 William Young and his wife Patience, of Laurens Co SC, sold to "Thomas Young of Spartanburg Co" for £50 Sterling a 100 acre tract "situate lying and being in Spartanburg Co and State aforesaid on a Branch of Tyger River called Jamies Creek Bounded to the East by land of Wm Young Senr, West by land of George Crawford, and all other sides by vacant land at the time of surveying." In this sale to Thomas, it also said William "shall stand siezed of a good sure perfect and indefineable estate of Inheritance in fee simple of and in all the aforesaid plantation or Tract of one Hundred Acres." See the biography of his son Nathaniel Young. On 7 October 1809 Thomas Young sold seventy five acres to Thomas' son William Young. This land was described as "being part of a tract of land containing one hundred fifty acres granted to my father William Young Sen by his Excellency Governor Montague" in February 1767 "on a branch of Tyger called Jameys Creek and the south side of said river." Thomas refers to his father as "Senr," thus implying that
there was a son William Young Junr.
     "Sixty six acres of the same James Creek-Tyger River land was sold by William Young Senr's grandson John Archibald Young [Y1], son of Nathaniel, on 23 December 1808 in which the land was described as being "at the northwest corner of a tract of two hundred acres originally granted to George Crawford beginning at said corner on a hickory tree near James Creek." This puts Nathaniel's children next to where William Senr lived. William's wife remains unknown; she probably died prior to William since he made no provisions for her in his will. He must have died soon after March 1787, because at the time he wrote his will William was "infirm in Body." He probably died at his home in the Tyger River-James Creek area of Spartanburg Co. His known probable children were:
     "With the above children, Thomas settled in the Giles Co TN area, and was given the ID number [Y5] indicating in what order he was discovered in the 1980s research. Since that time, it has been assumed that he was actually the third child of William Young Senr [y1]. Any early Young pioneer of Giles Co has an ID number starting [Y1..., [Y2..., [Y3..., etc with a CAPITAL letter Y. Any other Young and descendant who were not pioneers of Giles Co, and whose ancestry was traced, was given an ID number with a small case y, such as Richard Young’s [y1e] (his descendants settled in the western side of AR, in Scott Co.

     Capt. Richard Young was born circa 1755.^4,3 He married Isobel Crawford? circa 1783
;
She could have been his 2nd wife.⁵
Capt. Richard Young died after 29 April 1834.⁶
     Reference: Per Young [2011:1101-02]:
     "Richard Young [y1e], son of William Young Senr and an unknown mother, was born about 1755 and was named in his father's 31 March 1787 will. (Refer to the information given under Richard's brothers Thomas and William.) By the late 1770s Richard may have married since he was shown in the 1790 census with two females in the household. If so, there is no hard evidence that there were any children from this marriage. The extra people in Richard's house could have just as likely been some of the children of his late brother Nathaniel, one nephew being William. About 1783 Richard married Isobel _____ (Crawford? See the Crawford story following Nathaniel Young, son of William Young Senr). Any information on the first wife, if there was one, has not been found. Isobel was born about 1771. There was a Richard Young who served in the Continental Militia under Colonel Brandon after the fall of Charleston in 1780. Since Richard was the only Young with that name in Colonel Brandon's area of command, he must by our subject. On a deed dated 27 April 1795 Richard witnessed a purchase of two tracts on Dutchman Creek north of Tyger River by Buckner Smith from Jesse Christian and wife Rachael. On a 24 February 1809 deed Richard's wife Isobel was named when he sold 50 acres to Reuben Newman, land on the south side of and bordering the Tyger River, and "being part of a tract of land granted to Benjamin Wofford," land next to that already owned by Newman; witnesses were William Young (a nephew?, son of his brother Nathaniel?) and Willis Willeford (Richard's son-inlaw). On 17 March 1812 Richard (and William) again were witnesses, this time for the sale of 66 acres on James Creek from Archibald Smith to Isael Beeson. And on 14 September 1815 Richard and Isobel gave to their "beloved son-in-law Willis Willeford and our daughter Polly Willeford his wife" 100 acres, "being part of two tracts of land one granted to Benjamin Wofford and the other to Joshua Smith lying on the south side of Tyger River" near Anthony Shand's field; witnesses were William Young and Thomas Young. Part of this land was purchased from Owen Forester in 1796.
     "These land deed records can leave no doubt as to where in Spartanburg Co Richard lived. The distance from where James Creek and Tyger River meet, and moving northeast to Dutchman Creek, is no more than five miles on horseback. In 1790 Richard was living two doors from Patty, the widow of his brother Nathaniel, and four doors from his brother Thomas; Reuben Newman lived three doors on the other side of Nathaniel's widow.
     "Richard died in Spartanburg Co on 14 November 1837 leaving a large estate and over two dozen slaves, and a will dated 29 April 1834. In the will he gave to "my Son William Anthony Young all my Estate Both Real and personal Expting Henry & Nelly" and gave to "my oldest Son Thomas Young my servant henry." He also gave to his "Daughter Polley Welleford my servant Nelly." Son William A Young was named as executor. The will was quite short, and there were no implications that there may have been a first wife or other children. The death date is known from a paper dated 5 December 1837 written by his son William A Young to a Mr Bomer in which William says "I want you to send me sitatons By the Boy my farther died one fourteenth of November Last which I am Left to manage the fares". etc.
     "Richard served on the American side in the War of Independence in Colonel Brandon's Regiment. Since it was the policy of the new U.S. government to repay its soldiers for their service in the defense of the Continental side in the War by granting the veterans government land, or by granting them escheat ed l and ( l and t aken from the British
sympathizers), Richard may have obtained much of his land holdings in this manner. His neighbor Reuben Newman was an appraiser for the estate, and son William was the administrator. Richard had three probable children:
     "Archibald Smith was a son of the above John Buckner Smith and a brother of Nancy Smith who married Richard's nephew John Archibald Young [Y1]. Arch bought the 66 acres from John Young on 23 December 1808 just before John and his family moved to Giles Co TN. The James Creek land in that sale was described as being "at the north west corner of a tract of two hundred acres originally granted to George Crawford." The 1808 deed was witnessed by John Holley and Buckner Smith. Neither Smith men could sign their names. Soon after Arch sold the 66 acres in March 1812, he moved to Giles Co settling on land just north of and bordering John Young. (JE, NY, 1waehizpy)

In the 1790 census (was age 16 and older, with three sons under age 16) he was apparently the William Young who was living a few doors from Shadrack East in Laurens Co. In April 1795 William was living in Laurens Co SC when he sold a tract of Tyger River-James Creek land to his brother Thomas. William could not write, and made his "W" mark on contracts. In 1800 he was still in Laurens Co (living close to Tarleton East). William was over age 45 in that census, and had a son age 16 to 25, another son age 26 to 45, no daughters at home, and William’s wife was about the same age as William’s.
     "The 1810 census shows three William Young families in Laurens Co. One William was in Captain McMahan’s district and was age 26 thru 44, with a wife of the same age, and no children. The second William was a close neighbor of John Young, and was age 45 and older with no sons, no wife, and a daughter and granddaughter living with him; neighbor John Young was age 16 to 25 with a wife age 16 to 25, and three children under age 10. The third William Young was a close neighbor of Tom Young (age 26 to 44 with no wife nor children), and was age 26 to 44, with no wife and no children. The second William appears to be our subject, and his wife Patience must have died within the prior ten years.

Mary Young was born before 1750.²
     Reference: Per Young [2011:1057]:
     "Mary Young of the Tyger River in east central Spartanburg Co SC, and the daughter of William Young, was born in the 1750s. Her father's will of March 1787 stated. "also I Will that if Edwd Smith sould Die I give Mary his wife my Daughter." In this will he also named sons Richard and Thomas. An Edward Smith died in Spartanburg Co in 1789. The will of Mary's father indicated that her husband may soon die, so the Edward who died in 1789 may have been Mary's husband. This will was witnessed by Millington Smith, and in 1790 Millington was living near Mary's brothers Richard and Thomas Young [Y5]. There were three males under 16 and four females in Millington’s household. Since Mary was not found as head of her own home, she may have moved in with Millington, or married him. In 1800 Millington was living next door to an Edward Smith, who was apparently recently married and was about 26 years old. It would appear that, from very little evidence, the younger Edward Smith might have been Mary's son and Millington may have been her late husband's brother.

lNTRODUCTlON

There were over a dozen different Young settlers in pre-1830 Giles County and the surrounding area. Most Young descendants contained in this book descend from the Youngs of Bradshaw Creek in Giles County Tenessee, (in today's civil district 10) or their close cousins in Maury County. there were other Young pioneers in Maury and HickmanCounties (from Pennsylvania and from Kentucky) who are not listed herein.
There were twelve researchers who contributed information for this book. Each had gathered information on his own for various reasons, most being curiosity in his or her ancestry and the love of solving a puzzle in which each researcher was a part. Flora East of Madera, California and Louise Young of Tyronza, Arkansas had in the late 1960s supplied John Young with the information which took his search to Giles County, and in April 1981 he made contact with cousin Gerald Young, and in June with another cousin, Martha Ann Young, both of Giles County. From these two contacts other cousins were reached who freely gave their information to this Young biography; as time went on, seven more contributed heavily to the Young Family information.
Credit for most of the South Carlina research goes to Neva Fern Young of Temple, Texas, with much of her earlier information coming from Virginia Short of Waco; Jackie Ellis of Walnut Creek, California supplied the Willeford information and much South Carolina Young information; Juanita Elllis of Dallas, Texas supplied much of the information on a branch of the Youngs who moved to Texas; Gerald Young, Martha Young, and George Worsham of Giles County tirelessly phoned, wrote, and visited many cousins, graveyards, and the Giles County courthouse for more data; and Geraldine Young of Wellsville, Ohio wrote to many of the 20th Century cousins. Contributions from John Young were primarily Tennessee census reading and hundreds of hours in front of a keyboard. No one person is responsible for this project; it was a joint effort which could not have been accomplished without all eleven, plus the many more not named on this page who provided twigs and branches to the Family Forest. The Giles County Historical Society must also be commended; their publications provided quite a bit of information contained herein.
This book, at first glance, would normally be called a Genealogy by most. But since there are Youngs who have no obvious ties to others within these pages, a better description would be to call it Kinology. Keep in mind than information on living cousins was mostly gathered over a five year period, so some of it can easily be out of date by now; children may have married, old folks may have died, etc.
Over the past five years we exchanged information by letter. But as the Young names began to pile up, (over 3,000 at last count, not counting names of spouses and in-laws), a computer with a word processor was used. If anyone would prefer the information contained in this book on 5.25 inch computer diskettes (IBM format), contact John Young. Even with these tools, undreamed of just two generations ago, there will no doubt be mis- takes and omissions. That is inevitable in a venture of this size, But fortunately, mistakes can by corrected. Any additions, and/or corrections, and requests should be addressed to John Young, 6513 N San Pablo, Fresno CA 93704. Telephone (209) 431-8559. Although this book will probably not have a second (i.e., updated) printing, corrections and additions will be added to our data files. For those who may need updated information only or just certain names, contact the source person who has generally done the research on that line, or contact John Young.

The following is what the text has to say about the earliest Young in our line:

William Young, brother of George Young of Virginia and brother of Thomas Young of North Carolina, lived in Pennsylvania. He probably had sons-
a. Thomas Young Sr, b a1730; see his biography.
b. William Young, b 1740s; see his biography.
c. Jesse Young, left a 1799 will which was recorded in Union County, South Carolina in 1807.
d. Christopher Young was an adult in 1786; in that year there was a land transaction between him and Colonel Thomas Brandon. (MM,JE)

The Young Families of Early Giles County Tennessee is available on LDS microfilm 1421702, Item 15. John E. Young gives all permission to photocopy and duplicate the book in anyt way seen fit.

In 1996 Shirley Gay of Tucson, AZ corresponded with me about possible common Young ancestors. In the course of the exchange, Shirley provided me an updated version of The Young Families of Early Giles County on disk. She indicated she had not been successful in contacting John Young in Fresno but had met a Jean Burns Cosby while she was in Pulaski in May. Ms. Cosby had provided her a copy of the updated text.

Shirley Gay descends from William C. Young's youngest daughter Elizabeth, born 1854 in Pulaski, Giles County, Tennessee.

     Nancy Smith was born in 1776 at South Carolina, USA.¹ She married John Archibald Young, son of Capt. Nathaniel (I) Young and Patty Crawford, circa 1797 at South Carolina, USA.¹

Nancy Smith died in 1819 at Giles Co., Tennessee, USA.¹
     Reference: Young [2011:1015-17]:
     "John Archibald Young [Y1], son of Nathaniel Young and Patty Crawford of the future Spartanburg Co SC, was born in 1774 in the area along the intersection of James Creek and Tyger River. His father died when John was but a boy of about 9, leaving John, his three or four brothers, possibly two sisters, and his mother Patty. In 1790 the family was living in the part of the County where the Tyger River crosses the Spartanburg-Union Co line. They lived in the James Creek-Tyger River neighborhood close to Nathaniel's brother Richard Young. As time went on, John owned land previously held by George Crawford, land next to his grandfather William Young's land. He married and had the first of his ten children there. His wife was Nancy Smith, one of many children of John Buckner Smith and Dianna _____ of nearby Dutchman's Creek. John and Nancy were members of Friendship Baptist Church of Spartanburg Co (a few miles north of James Creek). February 1792 deed records (Book F, Page 39) show that Buckner and Dianna sold a 127 acre plantation on Cain Creek near Tyger River to a Benjamin Grist, and in 1795 Buckner bought 126 acres along Dutchman's Creek, which was near the neighborhood of Richard and Nathaniel Young at James Creek. Therefore, John lived a short walk to Buckner's home for a few years prior to when he and Dianna were married.
     "This couple belonged to the Tyger River Baptist Church (also called Friendship) at the turn of the 19th Century, as did many other local people who were later found in Giles Co TN. John and Nancy were probably married there about 1793. This pioneer church was located sixteen miles south east of the town of Spartanburg (about where the present town of Glenn Springs is today), and about five miles north of where John and Nancy had their home. In May 1801 John was "excluded for the sin of intemperence" (drinking or eating too much) by the church leaders. Nancy was born in 1776, so was about 17 at the time, a common age for a young woman to be married in those days.
     "On 23 December 1808 John sold his small farm along James Creek to his brother-in-law Archibald Smith. This sale was witnessed by John Holley (probably the husband of John's niece Mary T Young [Y4a]) and by John's father-in-law Buckner Smith. Within a few weeks of this sale, John, Nancy, and their four sons and three daughters moved to Bradshaw Creek in eastern Giles Co TN. In March 1812 Archibald Smith sold the farm and also moved to the plush countryside of Giles Co living next door and east of John and Nancy; witnesses of this sale were Richard Young and William Young. Richard was John's uncle, and William was either a cousin or a brother. Although John and family arrived in Giles Co in early 1809, there is no record of him owning any land there until 22 February 1814 when he bought 171 acres along Bradshaw Creek from Samuel Polk of Maury Co. And in October 1816 John bought 100 acres along the headwaters of Bradshaw Creek, from Polk, land next to the first purchase. This is today at Beech Hill; the "headwaters of Bradshaw Creek," called Little Bradshaw Creek today, runs just west of the home he build there about 1816 or 1817. A witness of the first deed was Nathaniel Young, and the second deed was witnessed by John Young [Y1b], son of John and Nancy. Because John's brother Nathaniel was living nearby in Maury Co, it is not known whether witness Nathaniel Young was John's son or brother.
     "In 1819 Nancy died and was buried in Beech Hill Cemetery just up the hill and west of their home (which was built soon after 1816, and was still occupied in 2010). Her gravestone said "Consort Of John Young." John then married Mrs Nancy ____ Buchanan, who already had a daughter, Mrs Frances T Craven, wife of John Craven. John and Nancy were members of the United Baptist Church of Christ in Giles Co. For at least 15 years prior to his death on 17 October 1838, John was a local Justice of the peace. He was buried in Beech Hill Cemetery next to Nancy Smith.
     "In these early years, it was quite common to have children spaced 2 and 3 years apart. In the 1820 census, in John's home, the males were: one son under age 10 (Archibald), one son age 16-18 (Spencer), two sons age 16-25 (Buckner and William), and John, age 45 or older. Sons Nathaniel and John Jr had already married and left home. In 1830 in John's home t he r e wa s one ma l e age 5-9 (grandson William A Young, son of John's late son John Jr), one male age 15-19 (Archibald), and John, age 50-59. Missing in the neighborhood were son's Nathaniel (died in the 1820s), John Jr (died in the 1820s), and William Young (recently married, and was perhaps living with his in-laws). Son Spencer was married and lived next door to John; son Buckner was married and lived in the same area, but quite a few doors away. In 1840 in Nancy Young's home (John's widow), there were no sons. Living next door to Nancy was son Archibald (age 20-29) and son William (age 30-39). Sons Buckner and Spencer each lived in their own homes in Giles Co, closer to each other than they were to Archibald and William. John A Young and Nancy Smith had at least eleven children:
     "The Tyger River Baptist Church (also called Friendship Baptist Church) was closely affiliated with Boiling Spring Baptist Church, which was in Union Co close to the home of Major Thomas Young. Families of the Tyger River Church from 1801 to 1804 who were also found in TN counties within a few years were: Beard, Golightly, Meadows, Moore, Smith, Willeford, Willis, and Young (John and wife Nancy Smith).
     "Buckner Smith, John's father-in-law, and Buckner's wife Diana probably moved to Bradshaw with their son Archibald Smith about 1812, from Dinwiddie Co VA. The 1789 personal property tax list of Dinwiddie shows Archibald Smith and Millington Smith, and other Smith families. In 1790 Millington was living near John Young's uncles Richard and Thomas Young, and near John's mother, in Spartanburg Co SC.
     "A Charles Moore, a pioneer of Scotch-Irish descent, moved to Spartanburg Co from PA about 1763 and built his log home 8 miles southeast of the present town of Spartanburg. It would be reasonable to assume that this Charles Moore was the ancestor of most, if not all of the Moores of Spartanburg Co into the early 19th Century.

Nancy Smith and John Archibald Young appeared in the census of 1800 at Spartanburg Co., South Carolina, USA; There is a William (line 17), two Johns (lines 12 and 13), and a Thomas Younge (line 4) on this page. William and one of the Johns were brothers. The Thomas enumerated is listed as 45 and over, so too old to be their brother Thomas. of the two Johns, one (line 12) is listed as aged 26-44. The second (line 13) is younger - listed as aged 16-25. Thus the one on line 12 best matches John Archibald Young, the brother of William (line 17). The Thomas on line 4 is probably his uncle. The second John (line 13) is unidentified.
