Hi everyone,

I am hoping to learn more about the parents and/or siblings of
WILLIAM H. YOUNGS
born about 1843 in New York State
and married to SARAH ELWELL

He and his family are found in the 1870 and 1880 censuses in Colesville, I also know that in 1862 out of Kirkwood, NY he enlisted in the NY Infantry, Company F, 137th Regiment.

I have spoken to a few folks who seem to be part of another YOUNGS line in New York state but we cannot find a connection if one exists. Is this anyone's ancestor or a sibling of one of your ancestors?

Thanks,
Noi

OBITUARIES
Mrs. Sarah Youngs
The funeral of Mrs. Sarah Youngs was held Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at her home, 7 Lincoln Street, Port Dickinson. The Rev Harry Rines, officiated. The pallbearers were, Albert Hoadley, Virgil Travis, Fred Amsbry, Charles Wells, Dwight Merrill, and Bert Stanton. Burial was in Chenango Valley Cemetery.

There was also other info on Jesse, Lena, and Edgar on that web site. There was something about Sarah and Jesse going to visit a George Youngs, Maybe a brother of William or a cousin?
You could contact cemetery or town clerks office and get more info on sarah's parents or what other Youngs are buried at cemetery.

Thanks for the info! I have the census information and obituary for Sarah already, but I haven't yet contacted the cemetery. I will definitely do that.

Thanks!

Hi, George Youngs married Julia A. Crannell and lived with their children and wifes mother, Catherine Crannell in Colesville in 1880. My relative is Catherine's other child, Cornelius Crannell, from Colesville, NY. He died in the civil war. The 137th Regiment. Enlisted 1862, also, died 2 months later at Harper's Ferry. I'm just guessing, but possibly George is your William's brother or cousin? Sounds like they may have enlisted together. Kim

Interesting! The plot is thickening... What are the dates you have associated with George Youngs and Julia Crannell? Do you have birth, marriage or death for either of them?

To complicate things, there is also a GEORGE YOUNG (without the "s") who marries into this family. He is Jesse Youngs' son-in-law through his marriage to Jesse Youngs' daughter Mildred Youngs. Thus Mildred became Mildred (Youngs) Young. I've seen a few articles on fultonhistory.com mentioning Jesse Youngs and his mother Sarah Youngs visiting with George Youngs, but it is possible that it is George Young (without the "s") and that a mistake was made by the paper. On the other hand, it's very possible that George Youngs (with the "s") is a separate relation.

If you have any dates or other sources you can share with me this might help us solve this puzzle. It would be great to learn that we have some family in common!

Thanks
Noi
