Coreen, What have you learned? I've been trying to sort out Levi and I can't see the Sarah Young connection. Where did that info come from? 1900 census record (see my transcription below) seems to indicate that Lucretia was her mother??? Below is some info I've found on Levi. I'd appreciate knowing what you have learned. Thanks.
