Hi, Marilyn!
Well, I didn't find much info about David Young, but here's what I DID
find:
David Young married Laura Ann Kesling on November 4, 1877, per the Miami
County WPA marriage records.
They are both buried in Gilead Cemetery in Perry Township. David's
dates: 1851-1909. Laura's dates: 1859-1918. [This from Miami County,
Ind. Cemeteries - Vol. 1 - Allen, Perry & Union Townships by Tombaugh,
Wendell C. and Jean C., (Tombaugh Publishing House, Rochester, Indiana,
1987), Page 122.
I can't find them in the 1880 census search, but I DID find them in 1900
in Perry Township, dwelling #270, household #270 which shows
David Young, age 48, born August 1851 in Ohio with father born in
Pennsylvania and mother born in Ohio, listed as farmer who owned his farm
Laura is listed as his wife, age 40, born August 1859 in Indaina with
both parents born in Ohio, married 22 years, had 8 children with 5 living
It also lists 4 of the children:
Charles B, age 19, born April 1881 in Indiana
Albert W., age 15, born May 1885 in Indiana
Stella N, age 9, born December 1890 in Indiana
Clarice, age 4, born ??? 1896 in Indiana
(The book listed above (page 123) shows Stella as Estella N., born 1890,
died 1906.
Since Laura's father, Titus Kesling, died in 1884, I wonder if they came
back from wherever they were in 1880 and took over his farm???
Hope this helps a little! I didn't have a thing on David in my
database.
