Drury Young

LifeSketch:

Drury, the son of Thomas and Mary Young, was born in 1752 and christened in 1754 in Albemarle Parish Virginia. Due to boundary changes between when Drury was born and christened, the family may have lived in either Surry or Sussex counties. Either is likely.

Based on the 1820 Census in Tazewell County, Virginia, Drury had one son and six daughters. Two of the daughters were listed as aged 10-15. Since Drury married Sophia Henkle in 1807 their oldest children would have been between 12 and 13 years old. Elizabeth Young was probably the oldest. She has been listed in many sources as being born in 1808, a year after her parents' marriage. She would have been between 12 and 13 at the time of the 1820 census.

It appears that Sophia Henkle died around 1820. Drury then married Nancy Madden. The couple moved to Perry County, Kentucky shortly later. They had two sons born in Kentucky. Drury died in 1828 in Perry County. He was buried in the Young Cemetery in Cordia, Knott County which was part of Perry County in 1820.

There are two different profiles for him at FS:

They appear to be the same person except for the death date.

I will ADD the "first wife" here and ask for others to add what they know in order to solidify or to differentiate.
Thank you
