Margaret is mentioned in the will of Adam Jones. They lived not far from Young Keen when his 2nd wife died in early 1834. He had possibly 8 children at home, a farmer, and am sure he didn't have time to do much "courting" before marrying Mary Ann Jones 19 April 1834. There has been much speculation about her parents but her son Henry E.'s tombstone in Fuller-Keen cemetery says her name is Margaret and to best of my ability to locate parents, I believe this is logical, and am not alone. In a sworn statement in 1942 I believe, the lady gives Adam and Siercy Jones as Margarets parents.

I do not know for sure that she is buried in Fuller-Keen Cemetery. There were other bodies mentioned besides that of Young, Henry, Lydia and Rebecca, but not by name.

Young and Margaret had 8 children: Elizabeth, Malinda J., Nancy W., Kindred Lawrence, Alemeda, Mary Delilah, Henry E. and George Franklin.

August 8, 1878, Dublin Post on page 3 column 3 was an item about Horse Thief Arrested and"last Wed.a horse thief stole the only horse of a Mrs. Mary Keen, widow lady living in the lower portion of county, caught in Worth Co., GA
[she is the only one called that, that didn't die before her husband of this family of Keen's that I can find]
