       John W Willeford [Y6e1], son of Thomas Young Willeford and America Upchurch, was born 6 March 1849 in Henry Co TN. He was age 1 in 1850 in Henry Co as John W; 11 in 1860 in Henry Co as John W; 21 in 1870 as J W; 27 in 1880, born March 1851 per 1900 census. He grew up in Henry Co's District 4. The 1870 census shows him being born in KY, which would be just a short distance to the north where his grandparents lived during the last years of their lives; all other census records show him being born in TN. In 1880 John’s father lived at Smiths, Gibson Co, and there was a 3 year old grandson in his home. John W was the only son of age to have that son in 1877. Perhaps the grandson was just caught in the 1880 census with John’s parents, while John and his wife Nancy Rebecca “Becky” Foster lived at Davis Shop in Gibson Co in 1880. In 1900 they still lived in Gibson Co TN. Nancy was born in TN on 9 January 1850, and died 7 December 1911. John W died 10 January 1916 and was buried with Nancy in Concord Cumberland Church Cemetery in Gibson Co; some of their children are buried close to them. His gravestone has a “March 6, 1851" birth date. They were married in Gibson Co on 27 December 1868 by C H Sloan, J P;” His name on the marriage record was John F Williford, not John W. But his gravestone has the name “J W Williford” with Rebecca next to him, with the dates they often used on census reords, and with graves of their children close by. The grave plots of this Williford family contained seven Williford and Foren graves, all next to each other (their eldest daughter married J W Foren). Nancy had nine children by 1900, all still alive, and all born in TN. John and most of his children spelled their name with an I, as in Williford, not with an E-

There was a George Williford family in Gibson Co in the 1830s to 1850s. (22nqr, 277msu)

       Lannie Willeford [Y6g9], son of Richard Young Willeford and Lucinda Evalina Potts, was born 22 April 1872 in Calloway Co KY. (JE,28s)

       Lawson H Willeford [Y6b1c], son of Charles Hagden Willeford and Ann Elizabeth Worsham, was born 7 August 1870 in Giles Co 's district 11. He married Hellen Murray on 30 March 1890 in Giles Co; she was also born in TN, in August 1869. Lawson died at Cheyenne, WY on 2 February 1970. They had two children by 1900-

1.    Lela Willeford, b Aug 1891

2.    Marich Willeford, b Apr 1896 (W,15rsmu)

       Lela Willeford [Y6b1c1], daughter of Lawson Willeford and M Hellen Murray, was born in August 1891 in Giles Co. (15u)

       Lena Willeford [Y6g8], daughter of Richard Young Willeford and Lucinda Evalina Potts, was born 28 August 1869 at Murray, Calloway Co KY. She would have been age 11 in 1880, in her parents’ home, but was not there. (JE,28r)

       Lillian A Willeford [Y6g6], daughter of Richard Young Willeford and Lucinda Evalina Potts, was born 13 April 1867 in Calloway Co KY. (JE,28rs)

       Lillie Beth Willeford [Y6b1f3], daughter of Captain S Willeford and Mattie McLin, was born in district 10 of Giles Co in 1915. (15f)

       Lucinda Lancaster Willeford [Y6f] daughter of Polly Young and Willis Wylie Willeford, was born in October 1829 in Calloway Co KY. She married William Etheridge in Henry Co TN on 14 October 1849. He was born in TN on 12 August 1826 and was a farmer. In 1860 he and Lucy lived next door to Lucy's younger brother Richard and older sister Mary in Calloway Co. The 1857 Calloway Co birth records of Lucy's daughter Sara Clementine show that Lucy's husband was Thomas A Etheridge, yet the 1860 census gives his name as William. In any case, Lucy married again, about 1863, to George Hudspeth. He was born in TN about 1811. William had died 26 June 1862 in Henry Co. There were many Hudspeth families living in Maury Co in the 1830s, and since Lucy would likely have visited her cousins in Maury Co, George could easily be connected with the Maury Co Hudspeth families. He died in Calloway Co in the 1870s. Lucy's children appear to be-

1.    Clinton Clauding Etheridge, b Jan 1852

2.    Willis E Etheridge, b 1854

3.    Sara Clementine Etheridge, b 21 Feb 1857

4.    Samuel T Etheridge, b Jan 1860

5.    Emma E Hudspeth, b Aug 1864

7.    William Y Hudspeth, b May 1869 (JE, 28qrsb, 22mn)

       Lucy C Willeford [Y6g3], daughter of Richard Young Willeford and Lucinda Evalina Potts, was born 4 August 1859 in Calloway Co KY and died 9 November 1861. Written family records, obviously written about the time of each event, state that Lucy C was born on the above date, but the same record also states that Lucy C Willeford "died November 9th 1861 age too years too monts and twenty one days." This death record conflicts with the birth date. Therefore, her birth date could have been 19 August 1859. (JE, 28q)

       Lula R Willeford [Y6g5], daughter of Richard Young Willeford and Lucinda Evalina Potts, was born 29 August 1865 in Calloway Co KY. She was not in her parents’ home in 1880 when she would have been age 15. (JE, 28r)

       Martha E Willeford [Y6b6], daughter of Willis Willeford and Martha Young [Y1h], was born about 1847 in Giles Co. She was not found in the 1870 census, so may have married or died in the 1860s. (15nqrm)

Gladye died in August 1987 at Memphis and was buried in White Rose Cemetery in Gibson Co. Walter died in September 1981 at Humboldt, Gibson Co and was buried with Gladye.

       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 [Y1h], 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. Britain Willeford (born in 1742 in VA) 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 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 Britain Willeford who lived in Maury, Giles, and Henry Co unties and in Calloway Co KY were: William L Willeford of Maury Co (born in 1782 in Spartanburg Co SC) and Hardy Willeford of Giles and Lawrence Counties (born in Spartanburg Co 18 January 1785, died in Lawrence Co 9 July 1869 and was buried there in Mt Ararat Cemetery). All Willeford families of these counties of TN and KY descend from Britain Willeford and Lucy Lancaster. (74,75,JE, NY,1h,22c, 15yknqrp)

       A J Young [Y9c10], son of Amaziah Young and Mary Elizabeth Cherry, was born in December 1859 at Williamsport, TN.

       Adaline Jeanette Young [Y8a], daughter of Ephraim Andrew Young and Polly Bugg, was born in 1818 in TN, probably Williamson Co. She married Allen Walton in Hinds Co MS on 6 November 1833 and they lived in MS for years. He was born in SC about 1810, son of John Walton from SC and Sarah McMillan. Adaline died about 1849, probably in Leake Co with the birth of their youngest daughter. Soon after Adaline died, Allen married again, to Mary Ann Merchant. She was born in MS in 1826, daughter of Isaac Merchant and Margaret Bryant, and died in Leake Co in 1909. Allen Walton remained in Leake Co and died there in 1895.

4.    Margret Ann Walton, b 25 Aug 1845

There was another marriage in Hinds Co: Mrs Amanda H Walton married Mr A S Young on 28 Nov 1850. That Amanda was born in NC in 1820 and was a widow in 1850. Living next door in 1850 was the John A Young family (born NC in 1820) and Andrew H Young (born in TN in 1826).

Children of Allen Walton and his second wife were: Allen Walton, born 1854; William Walton, born 1858; Ann Walton, born 1864; and Henry Green Walton, born May 1870.

There were twelve Walton marriages in Leake Co between 1861 and 1892, thus indicating that there was a second or third Walton family living in Leake Co at the same times as Allen Walton’s family. (DW, 105mn,222nqr)

       Adam Young, son of William Young and Margaret Neil of the Enoree River area along the Spartanburg-Laurens Co line in SC, was born about 1773 in 96 District of South Carolina Colony. He was a minor when his father willed one-seventh of the Enoree River plantation to him in October 1787. When Adam became of legal age, he and his brother William sold their share of the property to Daniel McKie on 20 January 1806. This land was located west of William Stone's and east of Robert Simms' land, on the north side of the Enoree River. See Adam Young [Y11]. (NY, MM,JE, 2hyz, 1wzaehy)

       Adam Young [Y11] may have been the son of William Young of the Enoree River of the southern part of Spartanburg Co SC, although there is no strong evidence to prove this. On 17 July 1797 Adam bought 834 acres on both sides of Richland Creek in what was to become Giles Co from Joseph Phillips of Sumner Co TN. Adam, at that time, was living in Davidson Co TN and had to be of legal age to buy land, hence he must have been born before August 1776. This Adam Young was the first Young to own land in what was to become Giles Co. On 1 August 1809 he sold this land, "being in what was the middle District now Bedford Co on Richland creek of Elk River" to "Jinkin Whiteside of Davidson Co." Adam was then living in Wilson Co. There is no evidence that he ever lived on this land, or had any children who were born or lived in Giles Co. (15zi)

I thank you sincerely, my fellow democrats, and it will be my highest endeavor to discharge the duties of the office in a manner that will demonstrate that you made no mistake. Again I thank you.
Yours for democracy,

Married 49 YEARS AND

 NO DEATHS IN THE FAMILY

Forty-Nine years married and the parents of five children without a single death in the family is the remarkable record which was attained today by Justice of the Peace T.P. Moore and his good wife. They were married in Pulaski, Tenn., in August. 1868, today being their Forty-Ninth anniversary. At the time of the wedding the groom was but twenty years old, leading the court to remark this morning that he had never been free. Of the five children all are residents of Chickasha with the exception of W.S. Moore who is engaged in the ladies ware business in Oklahoma City.

       Adoline A Young [Y9c2], daughter of Amaziah Young and Mary Elizabeth Cherry, was born 1 March 1845 at Columbia, TN. She was around ten years old when her parents moved to Williamsport, so it was probably there where she married Samuel Shaw Porter Jr in Maury Co on 20 November 1867. During the Civil War, he was in Company G, 9th Tennessee Cavalry for the Confederacy. Samuel was a druggist soon after their marriage, but by 1880 was a mail carrier, and a farmer in 1900. He was born 26 June 1842 at Williamsport, son of Dr Samuel Shaw Porter and Katherine Winslow Todd. Addie and her husband Samuel lived at Williamsport for many years, but late in life moved to Greenville, Butler Co AL and lived with their daughter Laura. Addie and Sam died there, he in 1929, and Addie on 28 April 1935 at Greenville. Both were returned to Maury Co and buried in Williamsport Cemetery. They had eleven children-

Dr Samuel Shaw Porter's father was David Porter. Dr Porter was born in 1793 in SC's Chester District, so his father David Porter would have been born by about 1770. There is a Giles Co deed record (Book F, page 314) dated 5 Aug 1823 where a Nathaniel Young sold a lot at Pulaski, TN to William C Flournoy for $3,000. This transaction was witnessed by a David W Porter. These two David Porters could easily be the same person, he having traveled from Columbia to be a witness for Nathaniel. If Nathaniel Young was born in 1777 he would be the brother of John Archibald Young [Y1], or if he was born in 1795 he would have been John's son. (CC,52, 53,ALd,10nqmrsucG, 304w)

       Alma Young [Y9j4], daughter of Abiathar R Young and Sara Alice _____, was born in March 1876 at Collierville, TN and lived there at least until 1913. She had not married by 1910, and was named in the 1913 Hardin Co TN will of her aunt Rebecca Young [Y9i], in which Rebecca wrote "to my niece Alma Young who lives in Collierville, Tenn." It would appear from the will that Alma was single in 1913, or had married a Mr Young. She was single, living with her parents in 1910. (9p,14suv)

       Almyra Young [Y1c4], daughter of Buckner K Young, was born about 1837 in Giles Co. She was not found after 1850, and could have married in the 1850s, or died. (15kn)

       Amanda C Young [Y10c1i], daughter of Haley Franklin Young and Charlotte _____, was born 22 June 1843 in Marshall Co TN (age 72 in 1920). She married William James Travis Guilliams on 2 November 1873, probably in Hardin Co where she was living in 1870. James was born 18 April 1853 in either Lincoln Co or in Hardin Co TN, son of David O Guilliams and Malissa _____, and died in Chester Co 25 November 1938. Amanda also died in Chester Co, on 25 October 1931, probably at her son David’s home where she and James were living in 1930. She was buried with James in Shiloh Cemetery in Henderson Co. In 1880 they lived in Henderson Co where James was a miller. He never used his first name William, yet the 1860 census shows “Wm J T Guilliams” age 7, as a son of David O Guilliams in Hardin Co. They had nine children, seven still living in 1900-

       Amaziah Young of Cranston Township, Providence CoRI, was born in the late 1750s, probably in England. He married Ann _____ (Knight?), perhaps in England, or else in the Cranston Township area of Rhode Island. Ann was born about the same time as Amaziah, and also probably in England. They lived at Cranston Town in 1790 and 1800, and perhaps in Kent Co in 1810 but not thereafter. The 1790 census showed two adult males and two adult females in Amaziah’s household, in addition to four sons under the age of 16. So it appears that the parents of Amaziah or Anne were living with Amaziah’s family. They appear to have had about eleven children-

       Amaziah Young [Y9c], son of Rufus Knight Young and Rebecca Young [Y1d], was born about March 1823 in the northeast or east side of Giles Co. In the early 1830s he and his sister Harriet were listed as members of the Robertson Fork Church of Christ in the northeast corner of Giles Co (now on the Marshall-Giles Co line on the Lynnville-Cornersville road). A businessman named Jeremiah Cherry Jr from Columbia, a few miles to the north, made business trips to Giles Co and possibly through these visits Amaziah met Jeremiah's daughter Mary Elizabeth Cherry. Mary and Amaziah were married at Columbia on 11 August 1842 and lived there until they moved to Williamsport. Amaziah was a teacher in 1850, and ran for the county court clerk's office in 1848; he lost. In 1859 and 1860 he was a justice of the peace, but farming was his real profession until his death. Amaziah and Mary moved from Columbia 12 miles west to Williamsport at the western edge of Maury Co about 1855, where their younger children were born; Williamsport held sad memories for them, having buried three of their children in the Williamsport Cemetery by 1866. Afterwards Amaziah and most of his remaining children moved on to Collierville where his brothers and widowed mother were living. Amaziah and Mary bought 69 acres three miles south of Collierville on 22 December 1871 from John M Fleming, land bordering on the south and west the property of John Jarman Jr, father-in-law of Amaziah's daughter Angeline. In 1870, Amaziah’s brother Henry Clay Young [Y9m] lived next to Amaziah also.

       Mary E Cherry was born at Columbia in 1824, daughter of Jeremiah Cherry Jr and Mary Rebecca Cooper. At Collierville Amaziah and a brother joined the Masonic Order, and from the Masonic records we know that on 19 August 1879 Amaziah died at Collierville. He is probably buried in a Collierville cemetery. By 1880 Mary had moved north to Bells Station, TN with two of her sons and a daughter, but they soon moved east to Savannah where Amaziah's sister Harriet was living. Mary died at Savannah on 7 November 1896 and is likely buried in the Savannah Cemetery, as are a son and daughter. Amaziah and Mary had eleven children-

1.    Elizabeth R Young, b 29 Jul 1843

2.    Adoline A Young, b 3 Mar 1845

3.    Jeremiah Cherry Young, b 20 Dec 1846

       Amos Young [Y1e6k], son of Jesse Nathaniel Young, was born 3 August 1892 at Bryson, Giles Co TN. He married Annie Zora Graves about 1918 and they lived at Nashville in 1920 with her widowed mother. Amos was then a hostler for the railroad. In 1917 he was a clerk, working at Wheelerton, Giles Co. Zora was born in TN in April 1896, and died at Nashville in 1950. She was a daughter of Mary Agnes Ingram and Mahlon Asher Graves. They had one daughter-

In 1900 Mary Agnes lived with her aunt & uncle William A Eason (born Apr 1856 TN) and Zora B Roden (born Oct 1865 TN, married William in Giles Co on 15 Oct 1885). In 1910 Mary Agnes lived with her sister Mrs Nannie Sue (Ingram) Dunavant at Pisgah. Mary Agnes died 23 Jan 1962 at Nashville. (58,W, 15mu,15w)

       Amos Richardson Young [Y1e1d5], son of Thomas Edgar Young and Albina D Montgomery, was born 21 August 1891 at Pulaski, TN. He married Gladys Browning in Giles Co on 9 March 1910 and worked as a plumber for his father in 1917. In 1920 he was still a plumber. Gladys was born near Pulaski in District 7 in September 1891, and died in 1962. Her parents were Thomas H Browning and Tennie Butler. Amos was the proprietor of a tin shop in 1930 at Pulaski. He died in July 1966. They were buried in Maplewood Cemetery at Pulaski, next to his sister Mary. When Amos registered for the WW1 draft in June 1917, he claimed he then had one child. Amos and Gladys had two daughters-

Transcribed from The Pulaski Citizen, Thursday, 4 Jan 1900:

Horrible Killing

Thomas H. Browning shot by

W. J. Hammonds.

       The usual quiet of our town was rudely disturbed Friday afternoon at about 2 o’clock when 4 or 5 pistol shots range out in quick succession. And when an excited crowd rushed up, they were horrified to find Thomas H. Browning prostrate and gasping for breath, while W. J. Hammonds stood above him, bare headed, with blood stains on his face and with a smoking revolver in his hand. Browning was carried into Reeves drug store and Drs. Abernathy and LaRue were called to him, but his heart had ceased to beat before they reached him, and in a few minutes he was cold in death. Hammonds was taken to jail and has been there since.

       The trouble grew out of a business transaction. About a year ago Browning leased his shop here in Pulaski to Hugh Story and rented a shop at Aspen Hill from Hammonds. While occupying the shop he did some work for Hammonds, and thus it was that Hammonds held Brownings $100 while Browning held an account against Hammonds for $22. The note was left at the People’s Bank for collection, and when presented Browning made out his account and gave a check for the balance, about $78. The bank having no instruction about the account, pinned it to the check and waited until Hammonds came in. He called at the bank Friday and the papers were all turned over to him. He made some remark about owing part of the account but not all of it, and said he would settle with Browning; but there was nothing in his manner or words to indicate that a tragedy was at hand.

       Hammonds went to the shop and called for Browning and was infuriated that Browning had gone to Sumpter’s Drug Store. He followed and met Browning returning with a broken omnibus window and a pane of glass with which to repair it. The 2 men stopped and talked together for a few minutes, just about halfway between Pullen and Harewood’s door and the corner of the court yard. It is probably best not to attempt to give exactly what passed between them, as there are several witnesses, some of whom saw and heard certain things while other saw and heard something else.

       Whatever happened no doubt will be detailed with great minuteness when the case comes to trial. However this may be, Hammonds suddenly drew his pistol, a thirty-eight hammerless, Smith & Weston, and began firing. There is a difference of opinion as to whether 4 or 5 shots were fired. Three shots took effect, and it is probable either one of them would have been fatal. One passed through the flesh of the right arm and entered the body, passing through the chest and was found just beneath the skin on the left side. One entered the breast abut 2 inches to the right of the heart and passing directly through the body, was found just beneath the skin in the back. The third entered to the right and just above the right nipple, but did not pass through the body.

       An inquest was held. After viewing the body and examining several witnesses, the following verdict was rendered:

State of Tennessee Giles County

An inquisition began to beholden at Pulaski in the county and State aforesaid, on the 29th day of December, 1899, and continued to December 30, 1899 before R. I. Culps, a Justice of the Peace of said county, upon the body of T. H. Browning, there lying dead, by the justice whose names are hereto subscribed who upon their oaths do say: That we find T. H. Browning is dead, that he died between the hours of two and three o’clock pm, December 29, 1899 in the store of W. P. Havens, in the town of Pulaski, Giles County, Tennessee, and that he came to his death from wounds inflicted upon his body by shots fired from a pistol held in the hands of and fired by W. J. Hammonds, and that said killing of the said T. H. Browning by said W. J. Hammonds was feloniously done without provocation or justification, and the said killing of T. H. Browning by said W. J. Hammonds was and is murder in the first degree.

Sworn to and subscribed before me on the 30th day of December, R. L. Culps.

W. J. Hammonds waived a preliminary trial and is held awaiting the action of the grand jury. Frank Browning, brother of the deceased, engaged counsel for Mrs. T. H. Browning and a lawsuit was entered for damages. An attachment was served on part of Hammonds’ property and an injunction leased restraining him from disposition of his property until the question shall be decided.

Thomas H. Browning was a good citizen, a pleasant genial neighbor and businessman, an unusually kind and indulgent father, a consistent member of the Methodist Church and of the Masonic and Old Fellow Lodges. He was also a member of the Junior Order American Mechanics recently organized here. He was buried from the Methodist Church Sunday. After services at the Church by Rev. W. J. Cherry, the body was buried with usual honors by the lodges of which he was a member. (58,Z,N,15umbfc)

       Angeline E Young [Y9c6], daughter of Amaziah Young and Mary Elizabeth Cherry, was born on 25 December 1852 at Columbia, TN. When she was just a baby her family moved to Williamsport, and when Angie was a teen they moved on to Collierville near Memphis (picture). Angie married a neighbor, Leonidas Spartan Jarman, on 18 July 1868 in Collierville. Leonidas was born in TN on 23 September 1840 (old, handwritten family records show that he was born in 1830, but census and marriage records indicate that the birth date must have been in 1840), one of the sons of John Jarman Jr and Martha Koonce. Leonidas died in Collierville in 1874, leaving his young widow with a baby daughter. Angie was a seamstress at Collierville, but kept close ties with her brothers and sisters in Savannah and Columbia. Angie became seriously ill with what was years later assumed to be cancer, and relied on her first cousin John Harston East [Y9a1] for much moral support. (He was also the father-in-law of Angie's daughter.) Angie came to Savannah in the summer of 1894 and died at the home of her brother Jeremiah C Young "after an illness of only a few days" on 28 July 1894. Her burial place is unknown, but would probably be Savannah since her only child lived there. Angie had but one daughter-

       Archibald A Young [Y2i1], son of George W Young, was born in 25 October 1844 in Hickman Co TN. He was a farmer, and married Margaret A ____ about 1862 (married in 1868 per 1900 census, 1862 per 1910 census) and was living in Hickman Co in 1870. Margaret was born in TN on 13 February 1846 of parents from NC. In the 1870s they moved to OH Twp, MS Co MO, and in 1900 they were at Tywappity Twp, Scott Co MO where Arch was a blacksmith. He died at Commerce, Scott Co on 15 September 1912 and was buried there in Oakdale Cemetery. After Arch died, Margaret lived with her son James in Scott Co. She died at Commerce on 22 September 1925 and was buried with Arch. They had two sons-

When Margaret died, son James who gave the pertinent family information for her death records, and James did not know who Margaret’s parents were, nor where she was born. Margaret gave the information for Arch’s death record. (19nqr,34s,30udvd)

       Archibald E Young [Y10], son of Captain William Young and Elizabeth Stegale of Pittsylvania Co VA, was born about 1754 in Mecklenburg Co NC. There on 9 June 1769 he was married by John M McKnight, J.P., to Sarah Powell at her father's home near New Hope Meeting House. (In July 1849 she stated for her widow's pension that she married Archibald about July 1778; if this was true, she was then his second wife.) Sarah was born about 1760 in Mecklenburg Co. Arch and Sarah moved to Pittsylvania Co in the early 1770s and lived there until about 1810 when they moved to Giles Co soon before 1812, living near Cornersville. Arch gave his age as 78 in 1832, and served in the Virginia Line in the War of 1812. He drew a pension for two years in Giles Co beginning in November 1819 at $8.00 per month for Revolutionary War service. There are deed records in Giles Co of Archibald Young dated from 12 March 1812 to 27 July 1814, where he bought land from James C and David W McRee. This land bordered the property of Yarbrough, Haynes, and George W Campbell; some of it was originally deeded to David McRee of Mecklenburg Co by "Jno Nelson." Since Arch had a son of legal age during these land transactions, it is possible that the son may be at least one of the buyers. In 1832 as the elder Archibald was nearing the end of his life in Giles Co he gave his land to his children, and thus named them and where each was living. Arch died in the county on 12 November 1834 and Sarah on 28 January 1850, also in Giles Co ; both are buried there. Sarah died of consumption, at the age of 102 according to the 1850 mortality schedule; this age must be an error. Archibald had seven children-

a.     Elizabeth Young, b 20 Apr 1771

b.    Pendleton Young, b 1 Mar 1774

c.     Jarrett Young, b 18 Apr 1785

d.    Haley Young, b 18 Feb 1788

e.     Archibald Young Jr, b 12 Jun 1790

f.     Frances Young, b 13 May 1793

g.    Sarah Young, b 6 Mar 1797

Arch's brother Willie Young moved to Anderson Co TN, and in a pension affidavit for Sarah of 30 April 1849, said he was born about 1772 and Arch about 1757. Joseph Powell of Pittsylvania Co VA was Sarah Powell's brother. (FG,M, GW,JM,NY, 15ijzvkny)

       Archibald Oliver Young [Y1i13], son of Archibald Smith Young and Nancy Mendoza S Oliver, was born 21 August 1862 in Giles Co and lived there for the remainder of his short life. Arch married Arabella Wheeler in Giles Co on 8 April 1884. She was born in Giles Co on 10 December 1857, daughter of Benjamin F Wheeler and Susan J ____. Arch died on 30 April 1889 and is buried in Beech Hill Cemetery. Bell died 26 January 1891 and is buried in the Wheeler family cemetery two miles south west of Brick Church. Arch and Bella had two children-

a.     Grover Cleveland Young, b 6 Feb 1885

b.    Lena May Young, b 2 May 1887 (75,NY, MA,GW,GY,GE,VS, 15rmcu)

       Archibald Smith Young [Y1i], son of John Archibald Young and Nancy Smith, was born in 1814 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. 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 [Y1f]; 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 is buried there. Arch's widow Mendoza later married Marion Marks. Arch's thirteen children were-

1.    Ann Eliza Young, b 11 Apr 1837

2.    John Crutcher Young, b 5 Jun 1839

3.    Nathaniel Abernathy Young, b 14 Apr 1841

11.  Martha Minerva Young, b 15 Feb 1858

12.  Nancy Mendoza Young, b 6 Nov 1859

13.  Archibald Oliver Young, b 21 Aug 1862

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 Zackariah 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)

       Archibald Smith Young [Y1e13], son of Spencer Young, was born 26 May 1854 in Giles Co. He was named after his uncle (see above), but was generally known by his middle name. Smith married Martha B Grubbs about 1872-1873, and they lived in Giles Co through 1900, but later moved to Lincoln Co, then to Athens Co AL by 1910. Martha was born in TN in July 1854, daughter of Nicholas Grubbs and Martha A ____. Smith died 12 November 1921, probably at Athens, Limestone Co AL where he lived in 1920. He and Martha had eleven children, with nine still alive, in 1910-

Grandson Allen Smith lived with them at Athens in 1920. He was born in AL in 1906.

Granddaughter Mattie L Hawk lived with Smith and Martha from birth, until she became an adult. In 1910 and 1920 she used the Young family name, and was called a daughter in 1920. (GW,VS, 15qsu,46vw)

       Archibald Young [Y10e8], son of Archibald Young Jr, was born about 1835 in TN, probably Marshall Co or Lincoln Co. (9n)

       Archibald Young Jr [Y10e], son of Archibald E Young, was born 12 June 1790 in Pittsylvania Co VA and moved with his parents to Giles Co by 1812. In November 1823 he was on jury duty, and lived in the northeast corner of the county next to the John Yarbrough family. By 1830 Archibald had married Elizabeth ____ (probably a Golightly, daughter of Shands Golightly of Spartanburg Co SC and later of Giles Co). Archibald soon after was living in Lincoln Co. Elizabeth may not be Archibald's first wife; there is a marriage record of an Archibald Young and Polly Knight in Wilson Co TN 27 April 1816 (the bondsman was William Campbell; see below). The 1830 census of Lincoln Co shows Archibald's wife to have been born in the 1790s, yet in the 1850 Hardin Co census, Elizabeth gave her age as 61 (born 1789), making her a year or two older than the wife in Lincoln Co; Elizabeth was born in NC. On 13 June 1834 Archibald witnessed the will of Amos Davis in Lincoln Co and on 17 November 1835 he sold 109 acres in Giles Co to John Yarbrough, his father's neighbor. This may have been part of the land given him (and his brothers and sisters) in 1832 by his father. In any case, Archibald had died by 1850 and Elizabeth was living with the Louis Golightly family in Hardin Co. It appears that Archibald had eight children-

1.    Mary Young, b 1817

2.    son Young, b 1816-1820

3.    son Young, b 1816-1820

4.    dau Young, b 1816-1820

8.    Archibald Young, b 1835

Archibald (father/son?) sold 100 acres to Ambrose Yarbrough of Giles Co for $300 on 1 Jan 1813, land bordering George W Campbell and Archibald Young; the witnesses to this sale were B Yarbrough and John Thompson. (JM, FG,15iz,16jp, 9n)

       Arnie Young [Y1i4d], son of Napoleon Bonapart Young and Martha Jane Kosier [Y6c3b], was born 25 January 1875 in Giles Co. He was living at Bradshaw in 1880 with his brother Dan. On 2 June 1901 Arnie married Jennie Mae Harwell in Giles Co. She was born 16 April 1878, daughter of Stith Capers Harwell and Nancy F Ezelle. Arnie and Jennie lived at Pisgah. She died on 21 August 1921 and is buried in the Mt Pisgah Cemetery. Arnie subsequently married Elsie Lou Montgomery on 25 December 1922. She was born at Pisgah, on 18 November 1893, daughter of William Mortimer Montgomery and Sarah McFerrin Harwell. Arnie died 20 April 1948 and is also buried in the Mt Pisgah Cemetery. Elsie died in 1984. Arnie had four children-
