     Rebecca Young was born on 10 July 1802 at Spartanburg Co., South Carolina, USA.² She married Rufus Knight Young, son of Amaziah Young and Ann (?), on 31 March 1820 at Giles Co., Tennessee, USA.³

Rebecca Young died on 19 October 1875 at Shelby Co., Tennessee, USA, at age 73.⁴
     She was a mentioned with John Archibald Young and Nancy Smith at Citation; 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.

     "Rebecca Young [Y1e], daughter of John Archibald Young and Nancy Smith, was born 10 July 1802 in Spartanburg Co SC and moved to Beech Hill in eastern Giles Co when she was about six years old. Early in 1820 she married Rufus Knight Young [Y9]. Her line is continued under her husband's name."

Young [2011:1113-15]:
     "Rufus Knight Young [Y9], son of Amaziah Young and Ann _____ of Providence Co RI, was born 17 April 1795 in Providence Co; he is first found in Giles Co in the 1820 census. The only clues of the parentage of Rufus are that his third child (eldest son) had the name Amaziah; his eldest child was Harriet Knight Young; and the 1850, 1860, 1880, and 1900 census records in various TN counties show that Rufus was born in RI. There was an Amaziah Young living at Cranston Town, Providence Co RI in 1790 with a family of six children. This Amaziah lived among many Knight families. There were many Young families in the county but the Knight families were only at Cranston and at Scituate, with Young families clustered close by. From Cranston to Scituate is about ten miles. In the 1777 military census Rufus Knight (age 16 to 50) lived at Scituate; in the 1790 census there was no Rufus Knight, but there were many Knight families clustered near the Amaziah Young family at Cranston. Circumstantial evidence indicates that Rufus K Young may be a son of Amaziah Young and Ms ____ Knight of Providence Co RI; and family records kept by descendant Albert Young [Y9m3] of St Louis MO states that the father of Rufus K Young was Amaziah and Ann Young from England. Perhaps Rufus' maternal grandfather was the Rufus Knight of the 1777 military census.
     "From information from another Young cousin, we now know that Rufus’s parents were Amaziah Young and Ann ____ _ (Knight?), who were both probably born in England. Rufus, the son, was age 17 when he enlisted for the War of 1812, on the American side. Seaman Rufus was captured when the ship Ned was defeated on 6 September 1813 by the British ship Royalist, at the Bay of Biscay just off the French coast, and was taken to Dartmoor Prison in London for the 21 month remainder of the war. Rufus entered Dartmoor Prison on 27 September 1813, as prisoner #701; his prison records show he was from "the city of Providence." Many of the other prisoners with Rufus, who had prison numbers in the 700 to 721 range, came from Philadelphia, East Haven, NY, etc. Rufus was repatriated from England to France to Providence RI, and was discharged on 16 March 1815. He was released on 29 June 1815, and then went to NY for college. From entrance records at Dartmoor Prison, Rufus Young was described as slight, 5 foot 5½ inches tall. no wounds or marks at age 18. He had blue eyes, an oval face, was fair complected, and had brown hair.
     "Rufus took a position as Principal of a school in Giles Co TN, probably in the late 1810s, where he met his future bride. We do know Rufus K Young married Rebecca Young [Y1e] in Giles Co on 31 March 1820. Her father owned a great number of slaves and he offered to give Rufus and Rebecca two Negro men and one Negro woman for a wedding Present. Rufus would not accept them as he did not believe in slavery. In April 1820 Rufus bought 25 acres from Lewis Smith along Bradshaw Creek close to Rebecca's uncle Joseph Young [Y3] ; this transaction was witnessed by Nathaniel Young [Y1a] and John Young [Y1b], thus signifying that Rufus and Rebecca had already married since the witnesses were her brothers. Also, Lewis Smith was probably Rebecca's first cousin, if not her mother's brother.
     "In the 1830s Rufus, Rebecca, and their older two children were members of Robertson Fork Church in the northeast corner of Giles Co (now on the Marshall-Giles Co line, just off of the Lynnville-Cornersville road). Perhaps by then they had moved the few miles from Bradshaw to the Cornersville area. Rebecca was born 10 July 1802 in Spartanburg Co (in "Spartsburg," per family records) SC, daughter of John Young and Nancy Smith. Rebecca came with her family to Giles Co at the age of six years and grew up at Beech Hill. After she and Rufus married, they lived in Giles Co until sometime after the summer of 1843, for in August that year Rufus witnessed the will of Joseph Knox Sr in Giles Co. In 1850 Rufus and three of his children were living in Hardeman Co TN; in 1860 this couple was still in Hardeman Co. Rufus was a teacher most of his life, but did some farming. He died on 3 February 1870 in Shelby Co probably close to Collierville where they lived. Rebecca died at Collierville on 19 October 1875. They had eleven children, all born in Giles Co TN:
     "Much of source PY’s info of Rufus came from research done by Robert V Young [Y9m7] of his Young family in England. Robert was in the US Military in 1946, stationed in Germany, and during a furlough, he traveled from Germany to London and obtained the prisoner of war record of Rufus. All the names and birth dates of the eleven children shown above came from the Young family Bible, owned by Henry Clay Young [Y9m]. You must remember that in 1946, that generation was still familiar with family history handed down which told of the origins of this Young family in America, which were of the great grandparent’s generation of those alive in 1946.
     "Rufus Young’s father Amaziah lived in Scituate RI which (in Amaziah’s generation) was the center of the early Six Principle Baptist Churches. Also, Rufus Knight, Abiathar Young, Asa Young, etc. enrolled during the Revolution in Scituate in the First Rhode Island Regiment. This troop was nearly obliterated in NY. The First Regiment was reconstituted by the addition of large numbers of black freemen and former slaves (the Continental Army had matched the British promise of freedom for enlistment at this time.)

Rebecca Young and Rufus Knight Young appeared in the census of 1840 at Giles Co., Tennessee, USA; Rufus was often enumerated as R. K. and was known to be in Giles Co. in 1840. Thus, he could be the A. K in this 1840 census enumeration. Rufus and Rebecca had had at least 10 children born before 1840. This enumeration shows 5 children, the ages of which those of the 10 assumed to be living in 1840. One daughter, Harriet, m. Reuben East ca 1840 (per Young [2011:981]), so was probably not in her parent's home. There are two EAST families on this page (Thos and Bazel). A son, Buckner, is per Young [2011:932] believed to have died in the 1830's. Another son, Willis, was not found in the 1850 census, and could, in fact, have been dead before 1840. A third son, John, died 25 September 1835. The ages match for their parents and the known and their supposed living children:

     Dianna Young was born circa 1809 at Spartanburg Co., South Carolina, USA.³ She married John G. McCanless between 1844 and 1845 at Giles Co., Tennessee, USA.⁴

     "Archibald Smith Young [Y1j], son of John Archibald Young and Nancy Smith, was born in 1816 at Beech Hill in Giles Co. He lived close to Beech Hill through 1850, but by 1860 had moved closer to the Pulaski area. On 29 June 1836 he married Louisa Catherine Abernathy at Pulaski. She was born in the east side of Giles Co on 12 January 1816, daughter of John Abernathy (he a son of William Abernathy, a Revolutionary War patriot) and Catherine Tarpley. John Abernathy's farm was the third farm south of Archibald's father's farm. With the birth of her eleventh child, Louisa died on 15 February 1858 in Giles Co. "Mrs L Young / Consort Of / A S Young" was buried in Beech Hill Cemetery. Within a few months Arch took a second wife, on 20 June 1858; she was Nancy Mendoza S Oliver, widow of Felix G McKnight. Mendoza was born in Giles Co on 9 January 1826, daughter of Major Ananias Oliver and Nancy Featherstone Harwell, and died 18 February 1892 in Giles Co. Arch was wealthy, and with wealth there are usually enemies. He was murdered by Colmore B Sutton, his neighbor to the north and east of Arch's farm, on 14 March 1862 at Bradshaw over an argument about a fence or a fence line. The 1869 Giles Co court records state that the charge was First Degree murder, but the authorities discontinued their pursuit of Colmore Sutton and John McCanless since "the defendants have gone to parts unknown and have not been heard from in several years." What part in the murder John McCanless had is not known, but the motive may have had something to do with family ties: John McCanless was the husband of Arch's sister Dianna Young [Y1g]; possibly the reason that John was an accomplice in the murder of Arch was because of a sour marriage between John and Dianna, in which Arch may have sided with Dianna. See the biography of Nancy Young [Y3b].
     "Arch was a farmer and owned much land; upon his death, his estate came to about 1,100 acres. In 1860 he owned $33,000 worth of real estate. Years prior, his father had given other land to Arch's older brothers, but at that time Arch was still too young to receive a gift of land from his father. When Arch's father died, Arch then received his inheritance through his father's estate. Of all the sons of John Young, Arch was the only one to keep his land; the other brothers lost their property through bad investments, or through early death.
     "The administrator of Arch's estate was Henry Houze, who was the husband of Arch's first cousin, Sarah A "Sissie" Smith, through Arch's mother's side of the family. Some of Arch's younger children moved in with their eldest sister Ann Eliza Young and her husband William David Smith, in Lincoln Co (there is no known relation between William David Smith and the other Smiths named here). Arch's burial place has not been found, but would likely be Beech Hill Cemetery; Louisa was buried there. Arch's widow Mendoza later married Marin Marks. Arch's thirteen children were:
     "Colmore B Sutton's wife was Sarah Catherine Harwell, daughter of Robert McNairy Harwell and Parthenia P Smith. After Colmore deserted his wife and daughter Jeffie Sutton following the murder of Arch, Sarah married a widower named Zachariah Smith in 1879. Zack was the son of Robert Smith, Arch's first cousin and the father of Henry Houze's wife Sissie Smith.
     "Felix G McKnight was born 20 Sep 1819, and died 2 Feb 1852; he was buried in the Oliver family Cemetery in Giles Co. (58,L,MA,VS, GW,NY, GE,16r, 15knqprswyzc, 17c)."⁶

Young [2011:946-7]:
     "Dianna Young [Y1g], daughter of John Archibald Young and Nancy Smith, was born about 1809 in Spartanburg Co SC. She was named after her maternal grandmother, and was just a baby when her parents moved to Beech Hill in Giles Co TN, so Beech Hill and Giles Co is the only home she knew. It appears that in the 1840s, after the death of her father, Dianna lived with her step-mother Nancy _____, who lived next door to Dianna's brother Archibald Smith Young [Y1j] at Beech Hill. She married John G McCanless relatively late in life, about 1844 or early 1845. He was born in TN about 1817, possibly a son of William McCanless or Jane _____ and _____ McCanless (the only McCanless names in the 1830 Giles Co census who could be John's parent). In 1850 John and Dianna were living in District 10 in Giles Co where he was a farmer. In 1860 Dianna and her children were still there, but John was not. Since John was not living with Dianna and their children in 1860, and since John was charged as one of the murderers of Dianna's brother Arch, it is possible that Dianna and John had split up in the 1850s and Arch had made an enemy of John by taking sides with his sister in family disputes. (See the Archibald Smith Young biography.)

Dianna Young was listed as a resident in John Archibald Young's household in the census report in 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.

Dianna Young was listed as a resident in Nancy (?)'s household in the census report in 1840 at Giles Co., Tennessee, USA; There is an A. YOUNG, a Nancy YOUNG, and a Wm YOUNG, side by side on the same page of the 1840 census. A. and Wm. are probably Archibald Smith YOUNG and his brother William. Young [2011:946] reports that this Nancy is the 2nd wife of John Archibald Young and the step-mother of Archibald and William. Apparently her step-daughter, Dianna was living with her at the time.

     Elizabeth Young was born circa 1811 at Giles Co., Tennessee, USA.¹ She married John W. Fuller, son of (?) Fuller, circa 1825 at Giles Co., Tennessee, USA,
;
His 1st wife.²
     Elizabeth Young was a mentioned with John Archibald Young and Nancy Smith at Citation; 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.

She married John W Fuller about 1825, and lived for nine to twelve more years, having died by December 1837 when her father's will was written. Elizabeth was probably buried in the Beech Hill Cemetery although her grave has not been located. The will of Elizabeth's father named her four children then living, yet census records of 1840 show three more than the four named in the will; the extra three children, the youngest of seven at the time, belonged to John W's second wife, Rebecca Brown, born in 1815 in NC. John W was born in 1802 in NC, and was probably a brother of the James M Fuller (born 1807 in NC) who married Elizabeth's sister Nancy Young [Y1k]. In 1820 the only Fuller families in the area were in Lincoln Co. John was a farmer and lived in district 9 of Giles Co in 1850. He died 29 July 1876. He and Rebecca had about thirteen children With Elizabeth he had five:

Reference: Young [2011:1052]: "Martha Young [Y1i], daughter of John Archibald Young and Nancy Smith, was born 29 January 1812 at Beech Hill in eastern Giles Co. She married her second cousin Wylie Willis Willeford [Y6b] about 1832. Her line is continued under his name."

Young [2011:876-7]:
     "Wylie Willis Willeford [Y6b], son of Mary Young and Willis Wylie Willeford, was born 15 December 1807 in Spartanburg Co SC. He was called Willi and Willie, and moved to Maury Co TN when he was about 10 or 12 years old, and probably moved south to Giles Co by 1825 when his father bought 87 and three-quarter acres there from John English, husband of Willis' sister Clarimond [Y6c]. Willis' parents moved to Calloway Co KY by 1830, for in that year Willis (husband of Polly Young) was on the Calloway Co tax list, and he was not found on any neighboring 1830 TN census. (Willis' parents died in Calloway Co where they had lived for years.) Young Willis probably also moved to Calloway Co but his ties were now back in Giles Co; he married his second cousin Martha Young [Y1i], daughter of John Young and Nancy Smith, about 1832. Martha was born 29 January 1812 at Beech Hill in Giles Co where she lived until she married Willis. The newly married couple may have spent their first few years in Calloway Co KY or in Henry Co TN, for their eldest child reported his birth place as KY in the 1860 census, although all other census records show that he was born in TN. In 1840 Willis and Martha were in Giles Co where they lived from then on. He was a farmer in district 11 and died there on 2 May 1871; Willis Worley was appointed as the administrator of his estate on May 3. Martha died on 18 December 1877 and was buried in Beach Hill Cemetery with Willie. They had nine known children:
     "There were other Willeford men of very similar names, thus causing much confusion in researching their histories. Britton Willeford (born in 1742 in VA, Spartanburg Co SC sheriff in 1799) and his wife Lucy Lancaster (born in 1742 in NC), the grandparents of the above Wylie Willis Willeford [Y6b], had twin sons, one was named Willis Wylie and the other was named Wylie Willis; both were born 14 June 1773 and it was Willis who was the father of Wylie W Willeford [Y6b] above. The twins lived in Maury Co in 1820. The uncle, Wylie, had a son, first cousin to Wylie W Willeford [Y6b], who was named Willis Wylie Willeford. The cousin Willis married was Rebecca Row in Henry Co TN in 1839 and they had many children; one was named Wiley Willis Willeford, born in 1846. And Richard Young Willeford [Y6g], uncle of Wylie W Willeford [Y6b], had a son named Willis W Willeford [Y6g7], born in 1867. Other children of Britton Willeford who lived in Maury, Giles, and Henry Counties and in Calloway Co KY were: William L Willeford of Maury Co (born in 1782 in Spartanburg Co SC) and Hardy of Giles and Lawrence Counties (born in Spartanburg Co 18 Jan 1785, died in Lawrence Co 9 Jul 1869 and was buried there in Mt Ararat Cemetery). All Willeford families of these counties of TN and KY descend from Britton Willeford and Lucy Lancaster. (74, 75,JE, NY, 78, 1h,15yknqrp, 22c.)⁸

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 Young [Y1k], daughter of John Archibald Young and Nancy Smith, was born about 1815 at Beech Hill in eastern Giles Co. She married James M Fuller, a farmer, on 3 January 1837. He was born in NC in 1807 (born in TN per 1870 census). They apparently had marital problems, for divorce proceedings were begun about December 1839. This divorce was not carried through since they were still together in 1840 and 1850, living at Bradshaw next door to Nancy's brother Archibald Smith Young [Y1j]. In the mid-1850s Nancy, James, and their children moved to Fishing River, Ray Co MO. He was a carpenter there in 1860, but was a farmer in 1880. By 1850 they had six children, then two more by 1860:
     "Nancy's sister Elizabeth married John W Fuller, who was born in 1802 in NC. Any relationship between him and Nancy's husband James M Fuller is not known. (540qrs, 15zwkny) at Citation.³

Nancy Young was listed as a resident in John Archibald Young's household in the census report in 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.

     Spencer Young was born on 22 November 1804 at Spartanburg, Spartanburg Co., South Carolina, USA.¹ He married Manerva Lanentine Abernathy, daughter of John Calvin Abernathy and Catherine Tarpley, on 3 March 1826 at Pulaski, Giles Co., Tennessee, USA.²

Spencer Young died on 28 March 1877 at Giles Co., Tennessee, USA, at age 72; Obituary attached from FAG memorial.¹
Spencer Young was buried after 28 March 1877 at Young Cemetery, Beech Hill, Giles Co., Tennessee, USA; From Find A Grave:
     He was a mentioned with John Archibald Young and Nancy Smith at Citation; 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.

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.
