| Notes |
Almost all of the information about the family of William Young has been provided by Sylvia Solida Heath. I note this as I have removed all but Young Family Member from the sources, in order that her name not appear on the internet.
Camp Andy Jackson March 17-1862 Dear Father I received your kind letter of the 1st with pleasure I was glad to hear that you are getting your usual health again. I am now in my usual health though I had a severe cold some time ago which was the first time I was unwell in the service we have very (many?) drill times in camp now as we have no drill since we left camp Wood and we get but few papers now to read there was another death in our company last Friday the man's name that died was Joseph Stark a son of Rev. Stark who used to preach at crooked creek there were two brothers of them in this company both are now dead; the one that died here died by his own imprudence having eaten about a pound of crackers at a meal he took sick that night and never had a passage after March 18. My writing was interrupted yesterday by an order to move when we packed up and started to go ahead again but we are now stopt again within half a mile of our old camp the weather is quite pleasant with occasional light frosts the season don't seem to be so much earlier as might be expected as the peach trees are only just coming in bloom. (End of front of letter, the rest on the back page)
I received the box Thomas sent me last Friday and I appreciate good butter now if ever I did the contents are all very acceptable though the butter is rather the best.
We are likely to stay here or in this vicinity for a considerable time as our Brigade is guarding Nashville now our Brigade is said to be removed from McCook's division and that it will be attached to Grant's division as there is very little to write I must bring my letter to a close Your affectionate son William Young Direct your letters to Wm Young C(are?) of 78th Regt. Negl(illegible) Brigade Tenn (Source: Courtesy of Sylvia Heath per e-mail 01 September 2000..."The text of the Civil War letter is as follows...(It is written with very little punctuation, so I have transcribed it in that way, putting in only those periods, commas, capitals, etc. found in the letter) but the script is very neatly written and mostly still legible.")
According to Jenny Zinn Solida William had his blacksmith shop in his barn. (Source: Courtesy of Sylvia Heath)
After William's wife Nancy Jane died of a heart ailment all the Youngs and the Spangs got together to have a meeting on how to raise the younger children. William was a member of the Odd Fellows, so they decided to send them to the Odd Fellows Home. When Sadie heard this she ran upstairs and crawled in the cradle (she was eleven) covered up her head and started to cry. William went looking for her and when he found her he asked "Sadie what's wrong?". She said "I don't want to go to a home, I want you to raise me." He replied "Well bless you I will." He then arranged for his sister, Sarah, to come and she lived with them for several years. (Source: Sylvia Heath, story from another Young family member)
