     Mary F. Fuller was born on 1 January 1840 at Giles Co., Tennessee, USA.¹ She married Jesse Nathaniel Young, son of Spencer Young and Manerva Lanentine Abernathy, on 12 February 1874 at Giles Co., Tennessee, USA,
;
His 2nd wife.^1,2
Mary F. Fuller died on 20 July 1879 at age 39.¹
Mary F. Fuller was buried after 20 July 1879 at Bee Spring Cemetery, Pulaski, Giles Co., Tennessee, USA; From Find A Grave:
     She was a witness to Young [2011:1010]:
     "Jesse Nathaniel Young [Y1f6], son of Spencer Young and Manerva Lanentine Abernathy, was born 25 February 1838 at Bradshaw in Giles Co TN and lived in the county until his death. He was a farmer and married Mary Frances Blow in Giles Co on 17 July 1865. She was born 8 January 1847 at Bradshaw, daughter of Willis W Blow and Clemantine Clark. Mary died on 20 February 1873 and was buried in Beech Hill Cemetery. Jesse then married Mary F Fuller in Giles Co on 12 February 1874. She was born in Giles Co on 1 January 1840, daughter of John W Fuller and Rebecca _____ (Wilson?), and died 20 July 1879. She was buried in Bee Spring Cemetery. Jesse then married Mary Jane "Mollie" Williams in Giles Co on 19 August 1880. She was born in TN 23 April 1853. Jesse died 3 April 1927 and was buried in Bee Spring Cemetery in Giles Co. Mollie died on 31 December 1925 and was also buried in Bee Spring Cemetery. Mary Jane Williams had six children by 1900, all still living at home, but in 1910 she still claimed she had six with five still alive.
     "John W Fuller, the father of Jesse's second wife Mary F Fuller, had married Jesse's aunt Elizabeth Young [Y1h] in the 1820s. Elizabeth died by 1837 and John W Fuller then married Mary F Fuller's mother, Rebecca. In 1860, Rebecca (age 43, born in NC) and John W Fuller were living in the Bunker Hill area in 1860 with their children. The youngest daughter then was a girl named Zantippi, age four. Next door was Andrew M Wilson (age 43, born in TN) and his wife Zantippi (age 35, born in TN). It appears that John Fuller and wife Rebecca named their daughter after the neighbor, who could have been Rebecca's sister-in-law.

     Allie/Ala/Aley (?) was born in 1807 at North Carolina, USA; Aged 43 in 1850 census.² She married William Young, son of John Archibald Young and Nancy Smith, circa 1829 at Giles Co., Tennessee, USA,
;
Her 1st husband.¹ Allie/Ala/Aley (?) married (?) Blackshear after 1850 at Lincoln Co., Tennessee, USA.¹

     Reference: Young [2011:1147-8]:
     "William Young [Y1d], son of John Archibald Young and Nancy Smith. was born about 1801 in Spartanburg Co SC. He was about 7 or 8 years old when his family moved to the Beech Hill area of the new Giles Co in the early months of 1809. He married Allie (Ala? Aley?) _____ about 1829 in Giles Co TN. In 1830 they were not found, but were probably living with Alie's family in Giles Co. William died about 1849, probably in Marshall Co; Alie and her children lived there in 1850.
     "There is no actual proof, such as a will or land gift records, to show that William was a son of John and Nancy, but there is substantial evidence that William was a son of John A Young and Nancy Smith: a son of William's approximate age was shown in the 1820 Giles Co census, and in 1840 he lived next door to his widowed step-mother and brother Alexander. Also, in the 1840 census, he had children who's sex and ages exactly matched the children from the 1850 census who were born by 1840. And of all the counties surrounding Giles Co, all had existing marriage records well into the 20th Century, except for Giles Co, which had a courthouse fire at the end of the Civil War which destroyed their marriage records. Hence, no marriage record of around 1829 for William and Allie was found, indicating that they married in Giles Co. In 1850 Alie (Ala in 1850) was living in District 4 of Marshall Co TN with her children. Her youngest child was born in 1849, so her husband must have died soon before the summer of 1850. District 4 of Marshall Co was next to District 17 of Giles Co (Cornersville area). Ala was born in NC in 1809, but all six of her children from the 1850 Marshall Co censes were born in TN. A search of the 1840 census for Marshall, Bedford, and Lincoln Counties did not show any reliable clues as to who her husband was. Only Giles Co had clues to find her husband.
     "Since there was an eleven year gap between daughters Drucilla and Lucy, a search of the marriage records in the Giles Co and surrounding counties for Ms Ala _____ and a Mr Young in the mid-1840s found nothing. Allie had a second marriage, to a Mr Blackshear, after 1850 in Lincoln Co, but was again a widow by 1870. That marriage record was also not found. She was then living in District 10 of Lincoln Co (Allie, age 60), next door to her son Gabriel; two children from the 1850 census still lived with her. District 10 is the large northernmost Civil District in Lincoln Co, next to southern Marshall Co to the northwest, Bradford Co directly nor th, and next to Moor e Co to the northeast. Petersburg in Lincoln Co's District 10 is about twenty miles northeast of where William and Allie lived in Giles Co in 1840 and where most of their children were born. In 1880, still in Lincoln Co, she was Aley, age 71, and lived next door to her son Mark, and was next to some Blackshear neighbors; her son Henry was using the Blackshear name, and was age 30. Aley's daughter Sarah was still at home with Aley in 1880. Her children with William Young were:
     "There were two other pre-1870 Young settlers in Lincoln Co, in addition to William and Allie's children. Two were: John Young, born 24 Mar 1842 in NH, moved to IL in the 1850s, and settled in District 3 Lincoln Co about 1867 (southeast area). He married Sarah M Bradford in Lincoln Co on 8 Feb 1870 and had five children. And there was William D Young, born in Franklin Co on 10 May 1834, grew up in Franklin Co, and married Martha E Wiseman in Franklin Co on 4 Jan 1858. They lied in Franklin Co in 1860, then were living in District 2 of Lincoln Co in 1870 (south center of the county), then was in District 4 in 1880 (northeast side of the county, next to Moore and Franklin Counties). They had eight sons. (55,15k,17n, 630nqm, 16mrs)." at Citation.³

In 1850 Alie (Ala in 1850) was living in District 4 of Marshall Co TN with her children. Her youngest child was born in 1849, so her husband must have died soon before the summer of 1850.

     Unknown (I) Young 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)."²

     "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)."²

     Sarah Claton? married William Young, son of Capt. Nathaniel (I) Young and Patty Crawford.²
Sarah Claton? was born circa 1773.²
     Reference: Young [2011:11416-47]:
     "William Young, probable son of Nathaniel Young of the James Creek-Tyger River neighborhood of Spartanburg Co SC, was born in the early 1770s. In 1800 William was living four doors from his brother John and was married. His wife was probably Sarah _____, who was born about the same time as William. On 22 August 1814 the will of Richard Chesney (who lived two doors from Richard Young and four doors from William's widowed mother Patty) named Chesney's wife Esther and named executors wife Esther and "friend" William Young and witness Richard Young. The term "friend" when writing wills of two hundred years ago often meant a relative such as an in-law or cousin. And the will of John Leatherwood, recorded 13 December 1820, named children James, Isaac, Elizabeth, Jane, Nancy, John B, Spencer, William, Miles, and grandson Nathaniel, son of Jesse. John B Leatherwood and William Young were the executors; witnesses were William Young, Joseph Barnett, and James Hobby. With so many familiar Young given names, it would appear that there was a close connection between John Leatherwood and William Young.
     "In 1800 William had a boy and girl under the age of ten, implying that He and Sarah were married in the 1790s. In 1810 he and his family lived next door to Archibald Smith, the brother-in-law of his brother John. On 7 October 1809 there was a land sale from Thomas Young Senr (son of William Young Senr and brother of Nathaniel) to William
Young, both of Spartanburg Co. The land sale was for 75 acres on "Jameys Creek" next to Richard Young, and was half of a 150 acre tract originally granted to William Young Senr in February 1767 by Governor Montague. Richard Young (William's uncle and Thomas' brother) and Sarah Young (assumed to be William's wife) witnessed the sale. There William Young and his wife, both born in the 1770s, lived in Spartanburg Co in 1840. By 1810 William had three children:
     "The 1790 census of Spartanburg Co shows a Frances Claton as head of her household, and living next to William's widowed mother Patty. Frances had two males over the age of sixteen living with her. These men could be her sons, but also, one of them could be William. If William had married a daughter of his Claton neighbors, he may have lived in their home soon after his marriage. This was very common then, especially if the mother-in-law was a widow with a farm to run. (NY, 1aehz)." at Citation.²

Sarah Claton? and William 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 their uncle. The second John (line 13) is unidentified.

     Edward Smith married Mary Young, daughter of William Young Sr. and Elizabeth Griggs.¹

Edward Smith died in 1789 at Spartanburg Co., South Carolina, USA.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.
     "In 1800 these Smith families were in the same Tyger River neighborhood as three other familiar men: Francis Beard (the future husband of Mary Young [Y5e] who was the niece of our subject Mary Young), Nicholas Holley (father-in-law of Mary T Young [Y4a] who was the great niece of our subject), and Nathaniel Young [Y2] (the nephew of our subject).

     "William Young of the Enoree River in South Carolina Colony, probably a son of William Young who had brothers George and Thomas, was born in the 1740s, more specifically by 1746 since he was granted 200 acres along both sides of the Enoree River in 96 District of South Carolina Colony in 1767 from the government; he had to be a legal adult for that. William had a plantation on both sides of the Enoree River, which was to become in 1785 the boundary line between Spartanburg and Laurens Counties. And on 21 June 1787 "William Young and Margaret his wife" of Union Co sold to Ben Birdman and Cushman Edson of Newberry Co 209 acres in Union Co at the fork of the Enoree and Tyger Rivers. (Possibly a Quaker Community; see the South Carolina entry at the beginning of this book.) This land was originally granted to William by "His Excellency Thomas Pinckney Esq., Council & Commander in chief of the state aforsaid by his grant bearing date the Seventh day January 1787." This land was bordered on the south by land of James Townsend, southwest by land of James Hawkin, northwest by land of William Taylor, and east by land of James Hill. The sale was witnessed by Samuel Jones and Luther Smith (both signed). William signed, but his wife Margaret made her "+" mark. William's signature was identical to his signature on his will a few months later. The deed of sale was signed in Laurens Co and recorded in Union Co. It would seem that William sold his holdings which were too far from his home at the meeting point of Spartanburg, Union, and Laurens Counties along the Enoree River. In his will he indicated that some of this land was also along Durban's Creek in Laurens Co.
     "William married Margaret Neil, sister of John O Neil (O'Neill?). In William's will, dated 13 October 1787 and probated 24 September 1788 in Union Co he named his wife and seven children, and his brother-in-law. Jeremiah Moore and Hugh W Williams were witnesses, while William's wife Margaret and Thomas Brandon of Fairforest were executors.

     "John Young, son of William Young and wife Patience _____ of Laurens Co SC, was born in 1773 in the James Creek area of Spartanburg Co SC. The number of Young men in the James Creek neighborhood where John lived who could be John's father is limited to William Senr or any of his known four sons. John must have been a close relative to the other Young families since he lived next door, but was not a son of the late Nathaniel, son of William Senr, since Nathaniel also had a son name John, born in 1774. Richard, son of William Senr, was of age to have a family prior to his marriage to Isobel about 1783, and did have a male in his household in 1790 whose age was about the same as John's; Richard also left a will in which he did not name a son John, but did indicate that he had children other than those he named in his will. William Young, son of William Senr and brother of Richard, lived in Laurens Co in 1790 and had children who would have been just a few years younger than John, making John the oldest child. And Thomas, another son of William Senr, named seven children in his 1813 will, but did not name John. The children he did name were all adults, some even being in their mid-30s. Therefore, even though it was common for a parent to give a child his inheritance prior to the writing of the will and if that child was already an adult, and then not name the elder child in the will, Thomas did not do so with his other children. Therefore, there is little reason to suspect that he omitted John, if John was a son. And if John was the been a teenager when William Senr died in 1787, and William's will made no mention of a young son named John. Therefore, this leaves only Richard Young and William Young Jr (of Laurens Co) who could be the father. The choice of which of the two possible men could be John's father is answered in William Jr's 1826 Laurens Co will. In it he names his then late son John and John's sons.
     "In the 1800 census, John lived next door to Richard's nephew John Archibald Young [Y1] (son of Nathaniel) who later moved to Giles Co. The elder John's birth date, from the 1800 census, was 1756-1774. Since he did not marry until the mid or early 1790s, is shown to be born between 1774 and 1790 in his father's household in Laurens Co in 1790, and is older than his cousin John Young whom we know to have been born in 1774, then the elder John's birth date must be 1773.
     "William Young Jr and his father William Senr owned James Creek land for many years, so William Jr and probably his son John must have grown up and lived along James Creek before they moved to Laurens Co. And Richard Young, John's uncle, also grew up and lived in the James Creek community. John would have likely had close ties in Spartanburg Co when William Jr and the younger children moved to Laurens Co in the 1780s, and would have considered James Creek his home; he apparently married in the mid-1790s, either in Laurens Co or in Spartanburg Co and settled in the James Creek neighborhood with his new wife.
     "We do know John had three children under the age of ten in 1800, thus indicating that he married in the 1790s. His wife was about the same age as John. After 1800 John was not found in Spartanburg Co and in his father's 1826 will it says that John lived on the north end of his father's land on the east side of Simmons Creek in Laurens Co.

"Thomas Young Sr, son of William Young who had brothers George and Thomas, was born prior to 1730, probably i n England s inc e he wa s an Episcopalian (see the memoirs of Major Thomas Young at the end of this book). He was a child or young man when he came to York Co PA. He may have married in PA to a Miss Kilgore or Gray. In any case, his first wife died after having a son and daughter. Thomas moved to the South Carolina Colony, settling in the part of 96 District where Laurens Co is now, and in 1764 moved up to the part of 96 which became Union Co in 1798. He married Catherine Brandon, daughter of George Brandon, and sister of Colonel Thomas Brandon who led many well documented battles in the Carolinas against the British in the early 1780s. Catherine died in Union Co after 6 January 1815 when she put her "X" on estate papers of her husband in Union Co; Thomas also died in (then) Union District. His will was written 19 May 1777 and was recorded 3 February 1791 in Union District (the oldest will on file in the county). Therefore, Thomas must have died early in 1791. Witnesses to the will were Thomas Brandon, John Brandon, and William Kennedy. Thomas and his brother-in-law Colonel Thomas Brandon were among the first settlers of the Union Co area of SC; Thomas and his family lived about four miles south of the Union courthouse (which is about fifteen miles east of the Young families of the eastern edge of Spartanburg Co). He was granted 550 acres on Buffalo Creek in January 1785, which he later sold to Colonel Brandon. Thomas also owned land along Fairforest Creek and at the forks of the Broad and Saluda Rivers.
