Lynn,
I am sorry to say that none of these names sound familiar.
According to my information the parents of Cecil Victor Young were
Thomas Jefferson Young (born 1868 in Indiana) and Mary Ann Sanderson (born
1886 in Doniphan Co., Missouri). Thomas Jefferson's parents were James
Young (born about 1829 in Indiana) and Sarah Ellen Griffith (born about
1835). James Young's mother was Nancy (born about 1813). I do not know who
James Young's father was. I have not done much work on this side of my
father's family. Cecil Victor's mother Mary Ann Sanderson was the daughter
of Mariah Dougherty of Howard Co., Missouri and Thomas Jasper Sanderson. I
have managed to find a lot of information on the Dougherty branch.
Hopefully with all of the new information being added to the internet daily
I will be able to find on the Young family.
If you notice any of these people please let me know and I will do the
same for you.
Good Luck,
Cecil
