- Notes for ROBERT YOUNG DAVIS:
ROBERT YOUNG DAVIS WAS BORN JUNE 20, 1846. HE WAS THE FIFTH BOY. HE GREW UP ON THE FARM LIKE THE REST OF THE BOYS, DID THE BEST THAT HE COULD WITH WHAT HE HAD TO DO WITH. HE WAS TOO YOUNG TO GO INTO THE WAR. HE STAYED AT HOME AND HELPED TO PROVIDE FOR HIS MOTHER AND SISTERS. HE DID WELL FOR A BOY FOR THERE WAS NOT A MAN ON THE PLACE, ALL HIS OLDER BROTHERS HAD ENLISTED AND HIS FATHER WAS GONE TOO. YOUNG WENT TO WEST TENNESSEE IN 1866 WITH HIS OLDER BROTHER SWIP. HE STAYED TWO YEARS, THEN CAME HOME AND STAYED IN BEDFORD COUNTY UNTIL 1870. HE RETURNED TO WEST TENNESSEE AND MARRIED LENOR LEARNED (AUNT LENA). AFTER A FEW YEARS HE RETURNED TO BEDFORD COUNTY. HIS WIFE SOON DIED AND LEFT HIM WITH THREE SMALL CHILDREN. HE LIVED WITHOUT A WIFE FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND THEN MARRIED MARTHA MCCALL, A GOOD WOMAN. SHE TOOK GREAT INTEREST IN HIS CHILDREN AND REARED THEM TO BE GROWN. THEY HAD ONE CHILD BETWEEN THEM, HENRY. HE IS GROWN AND IS LIVING WITH THEM NOW. YOUNG IS STILL LIVING AND IS ABOUT 69 YEARS OLD. HE WAS IN HIS YOUNG DAYS VERY ACTIVE FULL OF LIFE AND MISCHIEVOUS. HE WENT TO SCHOOL SOME, BUT ON ACCOUNT OF THE WAR HIS SCHOOLING WAS CUT SHORT. YOUNG HOWEVER MADE A GOOD CITIZEN, ALWAYS GOT ALONG WITH HIS NEIGHBORS, PAID HIS DEBTS, AND MADE A GOOD LIVING FOR HIS FAMILY. HE NEVER OWNED A HOME OF HIS OWN. HE ALWAYS RENTED BUT GOT ALONG BETTER THAN MOST. THIS IS YOUNG'S SKETCH AS BEST I CAN GIVE IT. (BY VALENTINE SUBLETT DAVIS)
