Howdy Folks,

Pardon me for cross posting but I need help finding the maiden name of the
wife of one William YOUNG. This William YOUNG was b. bet. June, 1791 and
May, 1792 in Kentucky. He and his family are found on the 1830 White Co IL
census and the 1835-1855 Edwards Co IL census. William died between 1850
and 1855 in Edwards Co IL. His descendants are found in Clay Co IL from the
1860s to 1900s.

William YOUNG had at least 8 children (7 daughters and 1 son) of whom I have
positively identified 4. The oldest daughter is Artamecia (spelled many
different ways) who was born in 1815 KY. John, the only son, was born about
1820 KY. The other known daughters are Barsheba (spelled many different
ways) who was born in 1823 White Co IL, and Parthena who was born bet.
1824-1830 IL. So, sometime between 1820 and 1823 William YOUNG and family
moved from KY to IL.

Artamecia YOUNG married Allen HANKS in 1834 Edwards Co IL and she died in
1875 Clay Co IL. John YOUNG married Amorillis Williamson FRENCH in 1847
White Co IL and he died in 1910 Clay Co IL.

The given name of William YOUNG's wife is probably Mary because both
Artamecia and John named daughters Mary. William's wife was born between
1784-1791 (probably KY) and she died between 1835-1840 in Edwards Co IL.

William YOUNG and wife are my maternal 4g-grandparents through their
daughter Artamecia.

Any help finding the name of William YOUNG's wife would be most appreciated.


Thank you,
Eldon
