William Young and Patience Sinclair did have a son named William, but he was born abt. 1755/1756 in Stafford or Fauquier Co., Virginia, and died aft. Dec. 14, 1835, but bef. 12 June 1841, in Greenville, Muhlenberg Co., Kentucky.
William Young Jr. married Sarah Singleton on December 24, 1784, probably in Loudoun or Fauquier Co., Virginia. Sarah was the daughter of Stanley Singleton, a neighbor of William Young, Sr., in Leeds Parish, Fauquier Co., Virginia. Sarah was the sister of Elizabeth Singleton, who married William's brother John Young on 9 Feb 1788 in Fauquier Co Virginia. (Singleton Estate documents.)
William Young served in the Revolutionary War from Fauquier Co., and applied for a pension in Muhlenberg, Kentucky, in 1832. (Pension application Series: M805 Roll: 897 Image: 797 File: S14913, copy in paper file.) William was 77 in 1832 when he applied for his Revolutionary War Pension. Assuming that age was roughly accurate, William was born 1775/1756.
After the Revolutionary War, William Young Jr. received a military land grant in Kentucky and moved there with 4 of his siblings: Sarah Young Cundiff, Hannah Young Owsley, Bryan Young, and John Young. No one from this family went to Tennessee.
I have hundreds of documented pages on this family clearly connecting them -- including William Young Jr. -- to William Young Sr. and Patience Sinclair and to each other. I don't know how the William Young who married Elizabeth Huff got grafted on to this family, but he was NOT the son of William Young Sr. and Patience Sinclair of Fauquier Co., Virginia.
I have corresponded with many individuals who claim that William Young (m. Huff) was descended from William Young and Patience Sinclair and not a single one had any documentation what-so-ever. Each simply cited LDS temple records. I have looked at those records. They do not contain any documentation connecting William Young (m. Huff) to William Young and Patience Sinclair. Unfortunately, the temple records were mistaken when they were first submitted in 1917 and they continue to be mistaken today.
