The Younger brothers descend from Charles Lee Younger and his second wife Sarah Sullivan Purcell, daughter of Thomas Purcell and Eleanor Sullivan. They married 21 Aug 1807, Little York, Clark, IN. In 1835 he left her for his 20 year old mistress, Permelia Dorcas Wilson and had more children, among them Adeline Younger who became the mother of the Dalton Gang. These children used the name Wilson for a time.
Do you have a death date for Nancy?
I have had not one but two problems, with my sources on my research. Although I had backed up my data, I lost the newer entries, so I have some but not all. One, my pc melted-down (crashed); second, I lost data changing genealogy programs. I have most of the Jesse James sources, but not the Youngers. I am trying to go back over the sources I know I used.
From: Kentucky Marriages to 1850, it shows Younger-Toney married 15 Apr 1798, license 13 Apr 1798, so there the name IS Toney.
I also found it spelled Toomey on a website, father Elexander, but the email came back last night when I tried to mail the person about where he got the name Toomey. I have been searching all day and will continue. I believe that it was Garrard County marriages and listed the father as such, BUT that is not a valid source as yet, so please don't use that. The reason I think that was how it came to be is because I have nothing further on Alexander/Elexander, only his name. I also have Nancy b 1778 Goochland County. I have photo copies of the Douglas Register and will have to dig them out, as that may have been the source.
If you would email me on this I can keep your email and msg in a "find these" file. I have over 20,000 names in my database and gets lots of questions. I do want this to be correct.
Sincerely,

PS... The other thing I have re Toomey is their son Milton Toomey Younger. He died here in Liberty, so if anyone knows the cemetery I can go there and photo the grave when it cools down (been 90-100s here and humid, of late). I plan on making some trips around here in early August, but will do it sooner if I find it specifically. All I have is that he died in Liberty in 1852. My hopes are that his middle name is on the tombstone.
