Mason YOUNG and Luticie (LEGGIT) YOUNG, born in PA, moved to Muskingum Co. OH in about 1838. One of their sons, Mason Alexander (Alex) YOUNG (b. 1843/4) enlisted in the 122nd Ohio VI in McConnelsville, Morgan Co, and used that city and county as his residence on the enlistment & other military papers. After the war Alex married Sarah Jane (Jennie) BUTLER in Young Hickory, Muskingum Co, OH. and moved to IA and NE. A family Bible references (illegible) Meigs... which could be an event in Morgan Co, in a township in Muskingum Co, or in Meigs County. Since these YOUNGs apparently do not appear in the 1840 Muskingum census we assume they moved to Morgan Co., but have no proof other than the military papers. We would be looking for census, birth, death, burial, taxes... any indication that they were in Morgan County.
