SOURCE NOTES: Dorothy T. Hennen, compiler, Cemetery Records of Greene County, Pennsylvania, 12 volumes (Waynesburg, Pennsylvania: Cornerstone Genealogical Society, 1975-1979), 10: 699, Mt. Zion Baptist Cemetery, Elizabeth Young entry.

"Elizabeth / Young / Died 1834 / Aged 72 Yrs."

Hennen recorded tombstone data in Mt. Zion Baptist Cemetery in 1977. When the present researcher, Candice Buchanan, visited the cemetery 8 June 2013, this tombstone could not be located. Based on Hennen's list of graves, the stone should have been beside Mary McGinnis (nee Young), who was most likely her daughter. While Mary's stone was located, neither Elizabeth's, nor Mary's husband Joseph McGinnis's stones were found, though they should have been together. In 2018, Findagrave contributor ID #47226355 contacted Buchanan with a tombstone photo matching exactly to the Hennen's inscription for Elizabeth Young. The stone had been found abandoned in a ditch in Pennsylvania, thence removed to a location in North Carolina where it is still located.
