Robert YOUNG 2 Born: Abt 1740 3 Marriage: (1): Jean UNKNOWN Bef 1770 Marriage: (2): Margaret UNKNOWN 1780 1 Died: Bef 15 Apr 1793, , Augusta Co., VA

General Notes:

He and his had at least 8 children. Several married into Glenn, Curry and Young families.

His will is abstracted as follows by Dr. Robert Frey: "7 Mar 1793: To wife, Margaret, to be maintained by son Andrew; to dau., Jean, unmarried; to dau., Margaret Glenn; to son, James, infant; to son, Robert, infant; to son, William, infant; to dau., Sarah Curry; to dau., Lydia, unmarried; to son, Andrew, all land. Executors: son, William and George Glenn. Teste: John Denson, Samuel Curry, Robert Curry. Proved 16th April 1793 by John Dennison and the Currys." Infant at the time meant under age. There was no term for minor at that time. George Glenn, one of his executors was likely the husband of Mary Young Glenn. (CL-468) The original is in Will Book VIII, p. 54, Augusta Co., VA.

The following info is from Sharon Young Jebavy. "Robert Young, d. April 1793, Augusta Co., VA, m. twice (there are deeds by him with two different wives given names, m. 2nd abt. 1780)

Children:
Robert m. Sarah Glenn 27 Feb 1792
James m. Margaret Kennedy 1802 Rockbridge Co., VA, he died @@ 1829, Rockbridge Co., (according to Morton), Andrew m. Margaret Glass, 7 Nov 1797, Augusta Co., VA.
William
Sarah m. Robert Curry, 19 March 1791.
Jean
Lydia m. John Reed, 30 Sept 1800.
Margaret m. James Glenn, 27 Dec 1785.
Elizabeth m. Hugh Kennedy, 11 Nov 1802 (This is the only child not mentioned in his will plus son Andrew is mentioned and not named here.

The following record from Chalkley probably applies to this Robert. 1759, page 36, Robert Young, son of John is delineated this way in the Merchants records.

D(eed) B(ook) 12, pg. 222, 1765 Robert and Jean Young.

DB 11, pg 256, Robert Patterson to Robert Young.

Page 420.--15th October, 1765. Jane McCown's bond (with Robt. Young, Jno. Young, Peter Wiley) as administratrix of Moses McCown.

Page 488.--17th March. 1767. Jane Davis and Saml. Davis' bond (with Jno. McKee, Robt. Young) as administrators of Jas. Davis.

Page 11.--13th May, 1767. John Creighton's estate appraised by Wm. McKee, Robt. Young, Jno. McKee.

Page 102.--10th June, 1772. Jane Patterson's estate appraised by John Blair, James Gambel, Robert Young, William Frame.

Restored Marriage Bonds, Volume 9, 1802-1803, pg. 65 Hugh Kennedy and James young, surety, in bond on marriage of said Hugh Kennedy and Elizabeth Young, daughter of Robert Young, dec., of Augusta Co., dated 11 Nov 1802, consent by James Young for sister Elizabeth, past 21 years to marry Hugh Kennedy of Rockbridge co., VA." This record fits here perfectly except for the fact that Elizabeth is not listed in Robert's will. I suggest this is because he named all the children in his will by his first wife in his will, and felt that his 2nd wife would care properly for their daughter Elizabeth in her own will.
