| Notes |
- Samuel Armstrong Young of Scottish ancestry was born in Ireland in 1787. His family immigrated to America when he was three, landing at Wilmington, North Carolina. They moved on to Tennessee where Samuel grew up. He became a waggoner and met his wife, Jane Kerr in Kentucky. They married in 1811 and had ten children.
Samuel decided to move to Texas, but refused to move unless all ten children (some now grown and married) would move too. The Young's arrived in 1840 and settled in western Fayette County. They first lived near Woods Fort (present area of West Point), but their permanent home was built near Winchester.. It was a double log cabin with a "dog trot". The cabin, now covered over with wood, still stands today.
I have a note that he actually died in Wilmington, NC-but this seems to me-doubtful!
Samuel's daughter Minerva and her husband James Sorrells arrived with the Young family in Texas.
