I have been searching for years for information about James J Young who married Sarah Smith daughter of Josiah and Martha Clemmons Smith of Union County .
Sarah Smith b. 1881 Union County. She was the second wife of James J Young. Her sister Martha married him first but died soon after the birth of a son. She probably died in childbirth. James J Young was born in 1861 Clay County Ky.
This i nformation is acccording to his death certificate. However I can find nothing at all of him prior to 1910 when he and Sarah and children were living in Brown Creek Mcowell County WV. In 1920 They lived in Perry County Ky. He died in 1927. Some of their children were born in TN.
This James J Young is my husband grandfather. Oddly enough no on in the family knows much about him. My husbands father is dead as well as all aunts and uncles. If anyone can help with this it would be so greatly appreciated.
