Message Board Post:
Looking to share information about two brothers, Ira & George YOUNG.
Ira YOUNG (b: 1808, NY) married Sophia CRIPPEN (b: 1811, NY) in 1827, Ohio. They had 11
children all told. From 1829 to 1844, 6 of them where born in Ohio. I'm not sure
where in Ohio they lived; there is conflicting information and none of it is confirmed:
Erie Co, OH, most likely and, perhaps also, Washington Co, OH. These six children were
Susan M. (who married Josephus WOLF), Eva Ann (who married August JOHANN), John, Martin V
B (who married Mary LANSING), Charles E (who married Laura SESLAR), and Wealthy M (who
married Robert LANSING). Son George was born in 1847 Illinois.
The last four of Ira YOUNG's children where born in Porter Co, Indiana from 1849 to ca
1855): Henry J, Mary, Martha (who married 1st cousin Edward Ray YOUNG), and Minerva who
died in infancy. The Ira YOUNG family moved from Erie Co, OH, to Porter Co, IN in 1848
and lived in Porter Co, IN for several decades, as well as most all his children.
Ira's brother George YOUNG (b: 1818, NY? OH?) married Marie L BALL (b: 1820, Freedom,
NY) in 1840, Erie Co, OH. They had 9 children, of which 4 died in infancy. Two of their
children were born in Ohio from 1841 to 1843: Celia S. (who married Clark WOOD &
later Charles HOLBROOK) and Gilbert W (who married Martha BROCKWAY).
One child of George and Maria YOUNG, Nelson M was born in 1848 Porter Co, IN. And, two
children were born in Kane Co, IL: Edward Ray (who married his 1st cousin Martha YOUNG)
and Frankie (female) (who married Clarence HALEY). The George YOUNG family moved from
Erie Co, OH, to Porter Co, IN, at approximately the same time as his brother Ira YOUNG in
1848. He bought land there. But the family moved again in ca 1952 to Kane Co, IL.
George died in the CIvil War and his widow remarried Samual WOOD.
Do you have information to share?
