 General Notes:
This is the ancestor of Sharon Young Jebavy. He was married 3 times. His last wife's name was Mary according to Sharon Jebavy. There is a William Young who purchased 100 acres of land in 1756 inside Benjamin Borden's land grant in Augusta Co., VA that might be this William. It was on Lane Mill Creek within a few miles of where a James Young bought 401 acres in 1742. North of him would be his more likely brothers, James, Hugh and Robert Young who were buying land in 1749 in Beverly Manor. In any case, he did not stay long in Augusta Co., VA but migrated to Albemarle Co. and lived for many years before living in NC for a time.
A Chalkley record dated 1779 that said both William Young and William Hughes (his father-in-law) were delinquent in their tithables because they had "...gone to KY." He moved to Lincoln Co., KY by 1777 where he lived the rest of his life. This part of Lincoln Co., KY later became Garrard Co., KY. William Young was at Logan's Fort. He was with Capt. Boyle's Company that was dispatched to forts along Dick's River in Lincoln Co., KY. Col. Young had also been at Craig's Station. In the Fall of 1783, everyone from Craig's Station left there and went to the Gilbert's Creek Station, including the William Young family. Almost everyone stayed at Gilbert's Creek. William got land grants in Lincoln Co., KY in 1783 that required him and verified that he had been in Kentucky from Jan. 1778 to Oct. 1779.
The following records from Chalkley might apply to him, but there appear to be several Williams in Augusta Co., VA.
