Lavinia Young

Henry? Smith
children

Catherine Young
b.
d.
m.
Benjamin Gossage/Gorsuch
he may be Benjamin Gorsuch who m. a Catherine Young of Ohio, and if so
there's alot of research done but I haven't been able to prove or disprove
the link. other researches say Catherine (whether she's mine, I can't say
for sure) was born in about 1800 in PA. Benjamin Gorsuch was b. about 1793
in MD. they had 9 children and it's a well researched line.

all but Christinia and Elizabeth's line are missing a lot of of information.

can anyone pinpoint these girl's parents? I've tried to do so using the
early census, and see there is a William Young in 1810 St. Clair twp
outside of Pittsburgh at the time with two sons and 6 daughters. I couldn't
find anything on him or his family besides that.
thank you for your help.
