Notes:

I noticed on Ancestry.com that you listed the children of Samuel Young and wife Elizabeth Kuykendall [as John Young, Sr., Elizabeth Young, Catherine Young Hildebrand, Francis Young, Solomon Young, and Uknown Son Young]. I am a descendent of Samuel and have been researching this family for over 30 years.

There is an 1829 deed in Cleveland Co., NC where the heirs sell the land of Samuel Young deceased to Solomon Young also an heir. The heirs were John Young, Catherine Hildebran and Solomon Young. This also agrees with the census that they had 2 sons and only one daughter.

If you have information or proof that they had other children, I would like to hear from you about this.
There were 3 Samuel Youngs living in old Rutherford Co about the same time period. Some people get these families confused. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Notes:

George Benson Kuykendall, author of HISTORY OF THE KUYKENDALL FAMILY SINCE ITS SETTLEMENT IN DUTCH NEW YORK IN 1646, featured a section in his book featuring some of those Kuykendall's whose membership is quite large and widely scattered over the country, but who had not yet been able to trace their lineage back to earlier Kuykendall families. He listed Peter Kuykendall in this section at the time of the books publication in 1919.

The HISTORY OF THE KUYKENDALL FAMILY quotes E.G. Kuykendall, a veterinarian of Carmi, Illinois, "My great grandfather, Peter, came to this county from near Bowling Green, Kentucky, in 1807 or 1808. He came to Kentucky from farther east, supposedly Virginia. He stayed here a few years and went to Northern Missouri. His two sons, James and Noah, stayed here, and later James moved to Southeast Indiana, where some of his descendants still live, one or two in New Harmony."

In the winter of 1912-1913, George Benson Kuykendall received a letter from an old veteran of the Union Army, John Kuykendall, at the Soldier's Home, Los Angeles, California "There were two Kuykendalls settled in White county, Illinois, in an early day; there names were Noah and Peter. Peter was my grandfather; my father's name was James."

In the book, the author notes that "There are a lot of Kuykendalls whose ancestors came into White county, Illinois, in the first decade of the nineteenth century, and since then have scattered...Carmi, the county seat of White county, is yet the location of a considerable sized settlement of Kuykendalls. These people with all their known relatives have been classified by me as the "Carmi Branch." By consulting a map of the country surrounding Carmi, in the White county, White river regions, it will be seen that Carmi is only about ten miles from the Wabash river, and that the White river empties into the Wabash only about twenty miles distant by straight line. The Ohio is the line between Kentucky and Indiana, and between the lower part of Illinois and Kentucky. In early times it was very common for the emigrants from Kentucky to go down the Ohio in barges or pirogues and to land at such points as suited their destination. It appears very likely that a good many of these Kuykendalls ....took the water lines of travel...(being) much more convenient to travel this way, after the Indians had been subdued by Wayne and Harrison. It was easier to float down the rivers than to go through the vast forests of Kentucky and Indiana."

This theory is confirmed in "...a matter of history..." Old Times, Old People and Old Buildings: Newspaper Accounts of Nineteenth Century Life in Carmi and White County, Illinois (The White County Historical Society, P.O. Box 121, Carmi, Illinois 62821: 1996), an article reprinted from the White County Democrat Centennial Edition published on July 30, 1914 by William D. Hay: " It has been stated that the first name to become of record in the new county of White was Kuykendall. That being true, a few lines regarding him and his family will likely be of interest. James (sic) Kuykendall came from Tennessee in the winter of 1807, crossing the Ohio river at Shawneetown. There he camped to rest himself and family and take a look around. It appears that he tarried too long, for before he was aware of it, he was water bound. The river had backed up and he found himself on an island with no way of getting off. He had more than the usual amount of stock for a mover at that time, and he lost the greater part of it getting it out of the backwater. After getting to dry land with his family and such of his stock and household goods as he was able to save from the water, he felt he had all of Shawneetown that he wanted. So he came to Big Prarie and settled near where Georgia school house now stands. There he raised one if not two crops of sod corn. Enough of it to be able to loan a load to Robert Land when he came in the fall of 1809. So far as I can learn James (sic) Kuykendall made no effort to enter land and about 1820, maybe before, he complained that the country was getting too thickly settled to suit him, so he moved on. Going to northeast Missouri and settled near Chillicothe, where he died. Noah Kuykendall, a son of James, who had not inheritied his father's love for moving and hunting a new and unsettled country, selected a location in the north edge of the Prarie and in 1809 built a log cabin about one hundred yards west of the present home of George G. Kuykendall, his grandson. He married and brought to his cabin home a Miss Jones, sister of Dan and John, prominent men in their day. The only descendant of the Jones family now living in the county so far as I know is our fellow townsman, John R.

The Carmi Illinois 1816-1966 Sesquicentennial booklet also mentions the earliest settlers of Carmi: first the trappers and hunters, seeking fur and game. Then the land-lookers, wanting to settle. Daniel Bain, a Revolutionary War soldier from Virginia, pushed into this area in 1806. He sired 18 children; was step-father of six more. Others built on the Big Prarie---Peter Kuykendall in 1808; Robert Land, Thomas Miller, Henry Jones, James Garrison, Thomas Gray and the Rev. Daniel McHenry in 1809.

The year 1811 was one of trouble and terror. Indians were killing and scalping. Tecumseh was trying to unite all tribes for war. "This is our land," he told General William Henry Harrison at Vincennes.

Then came that terrifying December 16. It was 2 a.m. Monday. Settlers slept. Suddenly the earth shook. Cabins shuddered. Logs creaked. Cradles rocked. Chimneys cracked. Bells rang. Clocks stopped. Dishes crashed. Cattle bawled. Dogs howled. Horses panicked. People fled their cabins; huddled in the cold. Parents prayed. Children cried. The ground rolled up in waves. Trees blew up, cracked, split, fell by the thousands. When earth waves hit the tall timber, forest giants weaved their tops together, interlocked their branches, sprang back and cracked like whip lashes. The earth rumbled, roared, split open, raised in some places, sank in others. On the prairie, snow white sand shot up like geysers. Along the Wabash and little Wabash Rivers banks caved in. Trees toppled into the water. Mrs. Edward McCallister hurried her children into a dugout canoe, pushed it into the Wabash River. Violent waves forced her to struggle back to the heaving land.

The earth shook all night and the following day. Tremors continued for three months, with massive shocks January 23 and February 7. The praying pioneers didn't know it, but they had experienced the heaviest earthquake ever to shake the American continent. It shook 1,000,000 square miles.

The following biography, not entirely accurate, was published in the "HISTORY OF NEW LEBANON, COOPER COUNTY, MO":

Peter Kuykendall went from KY to IL at an early date; he was dealing in land there at least in 1814-15. By his first wife (name unknown) he had the following children: Benjamin (R AR Terr.); Catherine (married Mar. 8, 1818 Howard Co., MO Benjamin Mathews) (R AR Terr.); Sarah (R AR Terr.); Moses (R Howard Co, MO); Hannah (married a Gage, R Howard Co, MO); Jesse (R IL); Polly (married a Taylor, R IL); and Noah Kuykendall (R IL); the geographic placements are as of 1826. While in Illinois, Peter Kuykendall married his second wife, Ruth Wyatt, and had seven more children: Wyatt, b Sept 28, 1810 IL; William Grant b Nov. 18, 1811 IL d 27 July 1892 buried Otterville, MO; Josiah A. b Feb 19, 1815 d Jan. 20, 1853, buried Brush Creek Cemetery, Williamson Co, TX; Peter b ca 1817 d before 1846; Mary d 1892; Narcissa; and Janette Kuykendall (married William Adams).

Wyatt, Josiah, and William Grant all entered land inthe 1830's northwest of Otterville Isee DVKM). Ruth (Wyatt) Kuykendall and her sons, Peter and Josiah entered land northwest of Otterville (see DVKM). Just when Peter Sr. and Ruth Kuykendall moved to Cooper County, Missouri from IL is not known, but Peter died there in Dec. 1826. Ruth died in 1858 and is buried in Llano County, Texas. **Taken from the probate papers for the Estate of Peter Kuykendall. R=resides

In Gifford White's unpublished paper titled "William and Mary Kuykendall Perry of Llano County, TX", he quotes Lania and Mattie Perry as saying "Mary Kuykendall Perry said that her father was in the Revolution, and was an old man when he married Ruth Wyatt, with a first family. She said he died of TB because of exposure in the war...the Kuykendall family lived near Boonville in MO because they used to hitch up and go into town."

There were 17 KNOWN living children of the two marriages of Peter Kuykendall at the time his estate was probated.

Notes:

Solomon Young - b. 2-9-1798 in Ruther County, NC. d. 2-13-1878.
Married Meliny A. (unknown). She died 7-4-1857.
No children
Both Solomon Young and Meliny A. (unknown) Young are buried in the same row in Knob Creek Methodist Church Cemetery as Samuel Young & Elizabeth Kuykendall Young and his brother John Young, Sr. & Mary Seitz Young.
Terry Young - a family reseacher provides this information: In 1829, three heirs of Samuel Young sold his land to Solomon Young, born 1798, was most likely a son of Samuel Young, and Elizabeth Kuykendall Young. Solomon accummulated one of the largest groups of slaves in Cleveland County, NC. He died in 1878 without any children.

In ' "...a matter of history..." Old Times, Old People and Old Buildings: Newspaper Accounts of Nineteenth Century Life in Carmi and White County, Illinois' (The White County Historical Society, P.O. Box 121, Carmi, Illinois 62821: 1996). An article was reprinted from the White County Democrat Centennial Edition, published on July 30, 1914 by William D. Hay, it was noted that "Noah Kuykendall....had not inherited his father's love for moving and hunting a new and unsettled country, selected a location in the north edge of the Prarie and in 1809 built a log cabin about one hundred yards west of the present home of George G. Kuykendall, his grandson. He married and brought to his cabin home a Miss Jones, sister of Dan and John, prominent men in their day. The only descendant of the Jones family now living in the county so far as I know is our fellow townsman, John R.

In that cabin, one of the first to be built in that section or in the county, Alfred Kuykendall and other members of Noah's family were born. About 1825, Mr. Kuykendall built on the site of his little cabin a three-story log house. A large roomy, and for that day, an extra fine residence. Built of nicely hewn logs. Some of the logs of that house are still in use, being a part of the barn near where the the old house stood. They are still sound and you can scarely see an ax mark. This shows that the man who got out the logs for that house could hew the line. And that was considered quite an accomplishment at that day...I do not want to leave Mr. Kuykendall's home without saying more about the three story log house. The finishing lumber was all sawed with a whip saw. That is, a log was gotten into a scaffold, after being squared, high enough for one man to stand under it. Another man stood on top of the timber and with a whip saw (a kind of a rip saw made for the purpose) sawed it into the lumber faster than we would suppose. Though I have been told that making lumber that way was at least a first cousin to work. After the lumber came from the saw, it was planed, and the flooring tongue and grooved all by hand."

There is a Noah Kuykendall indexed in the 1818 White County, Illinois census.

Abraham Lincoln came to Carmi on September 1, 1840 in a political rally as part of his campaign for William Henry Harrison for President. Despite the rain, the rally was a great success. Lincoln stood before the huge throng and spoke for more than an hour. That night he lodged at the Ratliff Inn, where he visited with his many friends. Noah, age 53, and his family may well have been at the rally. (Source: Carmi Illinois 1816-1966 Sesquicentennial: Carmi Sesquicentennial Commission, Inc.).

Said to have lived in Howard County, Missouri.

Notes:

Grace Gleason writes that she was shown as Catherine Keykendall at the time of her marriage. Said to have married Benjamin Mathews/Mathis on 8 Mar 1818 Howard County, Missouri, and they lived in Arkansas Territory.

There is a Benjamin Matthews on the 1840 Howard County, Missouri Federal census. Did they come back to Missouri, or did they never leave? They are neighbors of Richmond Gage. (Courtesy of Grace Gleason).

Ira Jean McCracken (rmccracken3@cox.net) writes that "Definitely back to Howard County, Missouri, where their son, Peter Kuykendall, married his first wife, Polly Hargis 20 Feb 1842. In June 1848 Peter again married. This time in Schuyler County, Missouri, to Amanda Fletcher. It looks as if both Polly and Amanda had a daughter and then died. In 1850 Peter 29, occupation mail carrier, is enumerated with a George Naylor family and a 6 month old Amanda Mathews and 4 year old Sarah Fletcher are living with 52 year old Elias Fletcher and his wife also in Schuyler County. Sarah most probably should be listed as Mathews for in the 1860 census of Denton Co., Tx. a 14 year old Sarah is enumated in the home of P. K. Mathis and wife, Missouri. This is Martha Missouri Lile who he married 28 Mar 1851 in Schuyler Co. MO. Amanda is also in Texas living with her mother's Fletcher family."

Notes:

Janice Doll emailed Grace Gleason that "Wyatt raised blooded Morgan horses around Sedalia, Missouri. During the Civil War, (his son) Josiah, just a boy, used to hide out the horses to graze them and keep the marauders from stealing them. When grown, Josiah has a harness and saddle shop in Sedalia when that place was a trail's end town."

Old Times, Old People and Old Buildings: Newspaper Accounts of Nineteenth Century Life in Carmi and White County, Illinois (The White County Historical Society, P.O.

Hay, it is noted that "Alfred Kuykendall succeeded his father, Noah, and married a Miss Graham, daughter of George Graham, the cooper. To Alfred and his wife were born several children, none of whom grew to man or womanhood except George G., and I do not see much prospects of the family going any further, though you cannot tell---there is always room for hope.

Mr. Kuykendall's home being the largest in the settlement was for many years the meeting place for all gatherings. Religious services were held there, and many of the more or less and some of powerful preachers held their hearers in fear and trembling while they explained the love and teachings of the Lowely Nazarene. Not forgetting to tell something of the other fellow, hence the fear and trembling. All of Alfred's children were born in the three-story log house described above and he continued to occupy it until 1862. He then moved into his new frame home where he spent his last days, rounding out a long, useful and blameless life."

Notes:

In the HISTORY OF THE KUYKENDALL FAMILY book, Lee Kuykendall is quoted as saying: "My father's father, my grandfather's name was FRANKLIN KUYKENDALL; his wife's name was MARY JANE ELLIOTT....FRANKLIN KUYKENDALL, my father was born October 17, 1834."

Lee Kuykendall apparently was misquoted, as he was the son of Franklin and Mary Jane (Elliott) Kuykendall, not grandson..

In another section of the HISTORY OF THE KUYKENDALL FAMILY, both E.G. Kuykendall of Carmi, Illinois (p 240) and John Kuykendall (p 241) list Franklin as the son of NOAH KUYKENDALL.

At the time of the 1850 White County, Illinois census, Franklin had been orphaned and was living with his older brother, Alfred. In 1860, he was married and living with his wife and children, and 67 year old Lucinda Bradshaw from Kentucky. They were living next door to another Bradshaw family.
