James Young the son of Charles Young and Jane McGee-Young was born in about 1764 in Northern Ireland and migrated to the United States. In the 1880 Census his daughters, Mary and Margaret state he was from Ireland and their mother is from Pennsylvania. It's believed James Young came to Kentucky via Pennsylvania since his wife Rebecca Steele-Young was born in Pennsylvania.
One record shows James Young's farm sold after his death in 1849. Stated he had at least 12 children. He is not found in the 1850 census with his wife Rebecca.
Notes for JAMES YOUNG:
James is listed in the 1810 Census of Clark County, along with John Young (brother), who was between 26 and 45. James is listed as over 45 and his wife (Rebecca) between 26-45. He also listed one male less than 10, one 10-16, one 16-26. John listed 2 males under 10, 2 females less than 10, one female 10-16.
James was involved in numerous Clark County land transactions with his uncle David McGee and David's heirs. In addition, he purchased land from Rachael McGee, daughter of his uncle James McGee, in 1814.
After the death of his uncle, William McGee, about 1823, James applied to the County Clerk of Clark County, Kentucky, to be the trustee. William had evidently no living children. Later on November of 1843, the descendants of his brothers all filed suit against James to attempt to recover the estate, inasmuch as James had not filed an accounting of the estate. In the same suit, the plaintiffs claim that James' mother Jane never left Ireland and that James lived for a long time in America before William's death. The suit was characterized as a suit of ejectment.
In the records of the suit, James said he did not know the complainants, who were the descendants of brothers of his uncle William. He also said he had reason to believe some of them were not residents of Kentucky. James had evidently sold a portions of the land to a Mr. Thomas S.Stamps and Mr. Thomas Garth. The complainants then made Mr. Stamps a co-defendant and he had to pay them $1500. At one point in the records of the suit there is mention of a John Young, who signs a bond with James so that James can serve as the administrator of William McGee's estate. When James estate was settled in 1850, Mr. Stamps owed the estate $1306.39, which the administrator, James Nelson, recovered.
After his death in 1848/49, an inventory of his property was conducted and he evidently had a substantial estate, in addition to the land in Clark County which he left to his children. There was also a farm, known as the Caroll Farm, in Scott County, which was sold later. Included in the estate were numerous slaves. In the sale, his widow Rebecca bought a number of things, as did several sons and son-in-law, including the Tiptons, William O'Marra, James Blythe, and Crim. Both Blythes, Thomas Tipton and William Young and James Young bought slaves.
