Origins

Alexander Younger and Rebecca Mills had 8 children: Thomas (1700), John (1702), Elizabeth (1704), Susannah (1706), Mary (1712), Anne (1715), Jannetta (1717), and James (1725). In 1725 Alexander made his will and died in 1727. I have a copy of his will, no doubt, written by a professional copyist, which reveals dramatically the fancy longhand of that day.
