From research of Lolita Long Lowry:
Will of Henry Young made 22 August 1781 lists Josiah Hurt as recipient of estate. Henry and Elizabeth's children are identified in his will and in settlement of his estate . His will refers to son Thomas; five daughters Milly, Sarah, Elizabeth, Tabitha, Mary; and "the child my wife now i s in travel with". There was apparently only the one son , Thomas as he made provisions in case this unborn child was a boy but the estate settlement provides for these children and Rebecca. three of the legatees were the husbands o f the three married daughters Oby Jenkins (Sarah), Littleberry Jenkins (Milly "Mildred"), and Josiah Hurt (Elizabeth) . Henry Young's will also provided that "three of most val uable of all my negroes" be sold and property bought for his widow (not named) which was to go to son Thomas after her death (copy of will in LLL's files).
Upon review of this document in Mrs. Lowry's files in May 1 998, the will did not name the married names of the daughters. Perhaps in the inventory and actual distribution of the estate, Josiah Hurt, Oby Jenkins and Littleberry Jenkin s are listed??
"History of Prince Edward County Virginia" 155 Dietz Printing Co., Richmond, VA by Herbert Clarence Bradshaw tells that Hampton-Sidney College was started January 1, 1776 and after a problem of food preparation they engaged a Mr. Young in 1777 to provide food. This was probably Henry Young w ho kept an inn at French's with his family as cooks. ON Page 57, Henry Young was mentioned as 2nd Lt., appointed an d Commissioned in May June and July 1777 on Committee of Safety which played a part in the Revolutionary War.
Just who Henry's parents were is not known. IN the Amelia , Prince Edward area prior to 1750 there were Samuel, John , Michael Cadet, and James Young. Samuel, William John, Stephen, Henry, John and Thomas Young were identified between 1750 and 1800. Further research is needed to determine m ore on these Young families.
There are a number of other sources of information on Henry Young (refer to Lolita Long Lowry data in file).
