I am looking for the parents of a Samuel YOUNG born in 1762 in
Cumberland co PA. He served in the Northumberland co malitia under a Capt
Samuel Young in 1778. I do not know how they were related but since my Sam
was only 16 years old I would assume that they were related.
I have found that Capt Sam had brothers James and John. Since the name
James is most prominent among the descendents of my Sam I am guessing that
James may have been his father.
My Sam left PA before 1780 since he served at the battle of King's Mountain
in SC under Col Campbell with the malitia from Montgomery co VA.
One must be carefull with the name Capt Samuel Young. I have found at least
7 during the American Revolution with more in the war of 1812 and the Civil
war.

There are several Young's in Dauphin co PA which was made from
Cumberrland/Lancanster and Northumberland counties at a later date.

My Sam moved from PA to VA . His oldest daughter was born in NC in 1782. He
then went to Spartansburg co SC to Franklin Co GA, to Sumner Co TN. A
daughter was born in Tn in 1798 and a son born there in 1802. He then went
to Logan co KY to New Madrid Mo to what became Marion Co IL in 1812.

Thanks
