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.
James
Mary Ann
William
Margaret
John Calvin
Maiden
Robert
Jane
Hamilton
Betsy
Frank
Polly
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?

July 26, 2008-Thomas Manning, Jr./Young Cemetery
Thomas Manning, Jr. 1802-1889, my great-great -great paternal grandfather is buried in the Young Family Cemetery in Walker County, Ga. With the experience I had at the Woods Cemetery in Fannin County, TX and Liberty Bell Cemetery in Dill City, OK, I expected I would solve the mystery of the Young Family Cemetery very quickly. I haven't yet and its been over a month since I located Thomas Manning's place of burial.
The Young family included James 1775-1858, wife Sarah Ann 1782-1857, Capt. F. M. 1823-1895, Martha (wife of F.M.) 1835-1870, their daughter Sarah Ann 1859-1883, and son George T. 1853-1884. In addition to the Youngs are the Littles and the McWilliams.
William Little 1801-1882, his wife (no name) 1815-1884, son J. R. 1847-1919, his wife M.W. 1853-1826. The McWilliams family includes Capt. William 1836-1919, his second wife Nancy Neal 1844-1922, his first wife Sarah 1842-1862, a son R. P. McWilliams 1881-1907.
Then there are the Mannings, Thomas 1802-1889, his wife Jane 1807-1885, son John 1830-1860. And the last two graves are those of Robert Patterson who died 1864 and Bettie Jackson 1849-1877. There are only 19 graves located there.
I have learned with the two previous cemeteries I researched that almost everyone who was in those two cemeteries were related. But how were these families related? I don't know for sure, but this is what I know at this time.
Except for Mr. Patterson and Mrs. Jackson, all the families were originally from York County, S.C.
All were farmers owning large amounts of land and they were slave owners.
They all lived near each other in East Armuchee, Walker County, GA.
William Little married Elizabeth Young and then married Norah Jackson.
None of the children of Thomas and Jane Manning married a Young, Little or McWilliams.
The Youngs were a prominent family in Walker County.
That's really all I know for now. I can make some assumptions. Perhaps they knew each other in SC and moved to GA at about the same time and located in the same area. Beyond that, it's a mystery waiting to be solved.
