My grandfather was James LYDE Young, born in the "Ozark Mountain" region of Missouri in 1860. There is no information on how he got the middle name, Lyde, but we surmise there could have been a family connection with a Lyde family. Grandfather Young lived in Tennessee and married Mattie Minerva Smith of Washington, Rhea County, TN, and died at Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1903. Any info on him would be appreciated.
