Joseph Young
Joseph Young lived in Coweta County,
GA. His home was 
located
at the SE corner of the intersection of what is now called Bear Creek Road and
SR 34. His home has long been torn down.
He lived in a log cabin built by the local Coweta Indians. Later this cabin was
added on and expanded. My mother remembers seeing the old log walls from inside
the house.
This was a common gathering place for
friends and was called the "Joe Young Place". He raised cotton and
corn on the fertile land.
Joe Young was a shoemaker during the war for
southern independence. He was a very large man, too large to serve as a horse
soldier.
He married
Elizabeth Jane Speer of Fayette County, GA on
June 21, 1850.
He and his wife are buried in the cemetery
at WhiteOak ARP Church in Coweta
County, GA, along with many members of the Young family.
