Elizabeth Kuykendall: Strong McLemore Ancestry

Elizabeth Kuykendall was born between 1755 and 1756; died on 12 Jul 1834 in Rutherford County, North Carolina; was buried in Knob Creek Methodist Church Cemetery, Belwood, Cleveland County, North Carolina.

Notes:

I noticed on Ancestry.com that you listed the children of Samuel Young and wife Elizabeth Kuykendall [as John Young, Sr., Elizabeth Young, Catherine Young Hildebrand, Francis Young, Solomon Young, and Uknown Son Young]. I am a descendent of Samuel and have been researching this family for over 30 years.

There is an 1829 deed in Cleveland Co., NC where the heirs sell the land of Samuel Young deceased to Solomon Young also an heir. The heirs were John Young, Catherine Hildebran and Solomon Young. This also agrees with the census that they had 2 sons and only one daughter.

If you have information or proof that they had other children, I would like to hear from you about this.
There were 3 Samuel Youngs living in old Rutherford Co about the same time period. Some people get these families confused. Looking forward to hearing from you.
