Since my post on July 26, 2008 , I have clarified some of the relationships of those buried at The Young Cemetery in Walker County, Georgia. The purpose of this clarification effort was to attempt to clarify the relationship between my ancestors, Thomas, Jane and John Manning, with the others buried at Young Cemetery. Among the others are Youngs, McWilliams, Littles, Jacksons, Patterson.
Some of the comments from my earlier post have proven to be correct, but I believe this is The Final Word. James Young 1775-1850 was from Spartanburg, SC. His wife was Anna Foster 1782-1840. James and Sarah Ann Young are buried at Young Cemetery. James and Anna had 12 children.

John Calvin Young married Lula McWilliams. She was the daughter of Nannie Neal McWilliams and Capt. William McWilliams. Capt. Capt. William McWilliams and Nancy Neal McWilliams ( his second wife) are buried at Young Cemetery. Neither John Calvin Young or Lula are buried there.
Margaret Young married Mr. Jackson.
Betsy Young married William Little. Betsy and William Little are buried at Young Cemetery. Among their children, Bettie M. Little married Rev. Mose Jackson. Bettie Jackson is buried at Young Cemetery. Sallie (Sarah) Little married Capt. William McWilliams. Sarah Little was the first wife of Capt. McWilliams and she is buried at Young Cemetery, as is Capt. Williams. A son, J.R. Little 1847-1919 and his wife M.A. Little 1853 are also buried there.
Frank M. Young (F.M.) married Martha Ann Green. Capt. F.M. and Martha Young are also buried there. Among their children, George T. Young 1853-1884 and Sarah Young 1859-1883 are there too.
Another related person at the cemetery is R. P. McWilliams 1881-1907, whose exact relationship is not apparent.
The four people buried there who are unrelated to all the above mentioned people are Thomas, Jane and John Manning and Robert Patterson. The relationships of all the others are pretty clear now. It is still unclear why the Mannings are there in a family cemetery of people unrelated to them. I shall put this to rest because a bigger question is: Why did Thomas Manning move from South Carolina to Georgia?

You asked why the Young family migrated from South Carolina. There were several families who migrated from Spartanburg County; McClures, Littles, Bomars and likely Mcwilliams, so the case can be made that they migrated in-pack like neighbors who migrated on the Oregon Trail. William Little's parents (Frances and Mary Ann) migrated from South Carolina and settled in Paulding County Georgia.William Little's sister is my g-g grandmother. Spencer Bomar, in the McWilliams Cemetery, is the son of Armstead Bomar and the brother of John who married Sarah Little. So it can get confusing, but all these families are connected and were connected prior to moving to Georgia. All these connections are on the Phillips Family Tree on Ancestry.com.
Thank you so much for your comments. Sent me searching to learn about Bomar's. Would love to see the Phillips tree on ancestry, but I can't find it. Could you direct me? Thanks again. You could email me at skbrownrn@aol.com.

Robert P. McWiliams was a son of Nancy Rebecca Neal and William McWilliams, and the uncle of my father, William Reece McWilliams of Dalton, GA, whose father was Shelley Neal McWilliams. Wilson McWilliams
Thank you very much for your comment. I am glad to finally have all the names correct.
