Joseph Henry Young born 4 Apr 1853 Illinois
I am trying to find the parents of my ancestor Joseph Henry Young born 4 April 1853 in Illinois.The ancestry.com family trees list William Young 9 Feb 1820 - Pennsylvania but he was married to a different person than is listed as his wife and mother of Joseph Henry Young.The mother of Joseph Henry Young is listed as Sarah Elizabeth Bradburn.The first wife of William Young of Pennsylvania according to his obituary was Anna Reitzel who had a son James Henry Young.Anna died and William married her cousin Sara Ann Reitzel.So I think that people were confused by the name similarities.The obituary makes it clear, though, that William Young of Pennsylvania is not the father of Joseph Henry Young of Illinois.I really would like to find out who his real father is.
