The Genealogy of John Sargood Young and Mary Burgess Carson Young
John and Mary are my third great grandparents on my mother's side. John and Mary (and Mary's family) are unique to all my other ancestors because they resided for a period of time in a counties adjacent to the county where I have lived all my life. John and Mary lived in Tipton County, Indiana for approximately 10 years (1850-1861). Because of this I have been able to find several documents pertaining to them which has allowed me to follow their migration from Wayne County, Indiana to their leaving of Tipton County for Iowa.
Timeline from when they were married to leaving for Iowa:
1846 - January 20 - John S. Young and Mary B.C. Young are married in Henry County, Indiana
1847 - June 23 - Their first child, Charles H., is born in Wayne County (probably in or near Dublin)
1848 - August 21 - Moved from Dublin, Wayne County to Wayne Township, Hamilton County, Indiana
1849 - Their second child, Sarah E., is born in Wayne Township, Hamilton County
1850 - January 20 - They buy a farm in Cicero Township in Tipton County
1850 - February 8 - They sell their farm in Hamilton County
1850 - August 29 - John appears with his family in the 1850 census in Fall Creek Township, Madison County living with Mary's brother Evan and his family
1851 - May 4 - Their third child, Emma Ann, is born in Cicero Township, Tipton County
1853 - March 8 - Mary's brother Evan and his family move into the farm next to John and Mary's
1853 - June 3 - John and Mary buy a section of Evan's farm
1854 - Their fourth child, Margaret (Mary/Maggie) Alcy is born in Cicero Township, Tipton County
1854 - April 29 - John's sister Ruth Ann marries Moses Parker in Cicero Township, Tipton County (it appears that Moses and Ruth Ann either lived with or next to John and Mary while in Tipton County; they even bought a farm together)
1856 - Evan sells his farm and moves to Ringgold County, Iowa with his family (when John and Mary go to Iowa I assume they go there because Evan and his family are living there)
1859 - April 21 - John and Mary sell their farm and moves into the city of Tipton where they have bought three lots
1860 - Census - John is a brickmaker in Tipton
1860 - January 3(?) - Their fourth child Elgy Evan is born in Tipton
1860 - March - John is appointed a Deacon of the Christian Church in Tipton
1860 - November 8 - John and Mary sells one of their three lots
1860 - December 5 - Elgy Evan dies
1861 - January 14 - John sells the remaining two lots
1861 - January 14 - John and Mary and Moses and Ruth Ann buy a farm on the outskirts of Tipton
1861 - March 19 - John and Mary and Moses and Ruth Ann sell their farm and I assume this is when they leave for Ringgold County, Iowa
