  [royc-young[1].FTW] Source: 1850 Federal Tennessee census, Giles county 1319-9 9 6. Reel 879. Census lists occupation as farmer with land value of $3500. S ource: The Young Families of Early Giles County Tennesse e 1986 By East Elli s Short Worsham Young. (updated version) William C Young [Y3a], son of Joseph Young, was born abou t 1809 in Tennessee, likely Maury or Giles County, very soo n after his parents arrived from South Carolina. William wa s called Will iam Young Sr since he had a younger cousin o f the same name (William Young [ Y4g], born in 1817) who liv ed in the same neighborhood in the 1830s. About 1 831 Willia m married Elizabeth Kennedy; William's sister Nancy Young [ Y3b] m arried William Kennedy about 1824, son of John Kenned y and Sarah Britton. Th ere is yet no evidence that Nancy' s husband was a brother of Elizabeth Ken nedy. The family bi ble passed down by William's son John listed William's wi fe 's name as Elizabeth Kennedy. Elizabeth was born in 1814 i n Tennessee, an d was alive in 1880 in Giles County living w ith her daughter Elizabeth. Her father was from Virginia, a nd mother from North Carolina. In 1835 William wa s living a long Bradshaw Creek, for he sold 137 acres there in Februar y of t hat year. This was land two doors from John Young [Y1 ], and next door to Joh n Abernathy. In 1840 William lived n ext door to Nancy Paxton, the widow of W illiam's cousin Nat haniel Young [Y1a], and next to Nathaniel's brother Archi ba ld Smith Young [Y1i]. In August 1844 "William Young Sr" sol d a 65 acre tr act on Bradshaw Creek to Hardin Griggs. Thi s was the southeast corner of W illiam's father's land whic h was deeded to William. These land transactions over the y ears show that William and his wife Elizabeth spent most o f their lives at Beech Hill, where he was a farmer. In 185 5 William was named to be the executor in the will of Sterl ing Huff, father of Rebecca Huff. Soon aft er 25 April 186 5 William died. Graves for him and Elizabeth have not bee n f ound, but may be on his farm if not in the Beech Hill o r Bradshaw Cemeteries . They had twelve children- 1.Martha A Young, b 1833 2.Joseph S Young, b 1835 3.Sarah Young, b 1837 4.Alfred Asbury Young, b 1839 5.Malissa Young, b 1841 6.Mary J Young, b 1842 7.Nancy Elizabeth Young, b 21 Apr 1844 8.Margaret K Young, b Apr 1847 9.Ann Eliza Young, b 1848 10.John Archie Young, b 27 Mar 18 50 11.Amanda J Young, b 1852 12.Elizabeth Young, b 1854 (58,FG,VS,LL, 15iknqr swz) Source: Giles County, TN, Will Abstracts 1815-1900, Parker.
