James Young b 1807/8 Maine m Peggy Smith
I am searching for the parents of James Young, an ancestor of my wife.
According to the 1850 census, he was born 1807-8 in Maine.In 1850 he was a farmer with $1500 of land at "No 1, R 5, The Forks" in Somerset county, Maine.
According to the LDS-IGI, he married Peggy Jane Smith, 1831 Jan 20, in Anson, Somerset county, Maine.She came from Antrim township, Hillsboro county, New Hamphsire, and her parents were Robert Smith and Hannah Moore.
The children living with James and Peggy in 1850, and presumably theirs, were: James E [b 1830-1], Hannah S. [b 11 Dec 1831, m Joel Wellington Moore], Melissa [b. 1834-5], Orlando [b. 1836-7], Adelia [b. 1838-9], Southwick E. [b 1840-1], and Olive S. [b. 1843-4].
