Jacob and Mary Young had five children before they separated in 1810. Mary's father, Bazel Boren, convinced her to move north with him to Union County, Illinois, where her children with Jacob Young grew up. Years later one of the sons, Alfred Young, in his autobiography attributed his parent's divorce to a long work-related absence of his father.

Jacob was 28 years old when he married Mary Boren in 1802 and settled in Springfield, Robertson Co., Tennessee to raise his family. He was an excellent mechanic and skilled gun maker. One of the tools he owned was a cotton press, used to make oil from cottonseed. He was also listed in the Springfield court record as having been paid to make repairs on the jailhouse.

Mary Boren, born 6 Sep 1784 in Rowan Co, North Carolina, was 16 years old when she married Jacob Young. She was the daughter of Bazel and Susannah Bryan Boren who owned land near the Young's on Sulphur Fork of the Red River in Tennessee.

On 16 Aug 1811, three years after his separation from Mary, Jacob was listed as having purchased a Revolutionary War Grant, a North Carolina soldier's heirs in Smith County. Jacob's second marriage was to Polly Huff on 30 Jun 1819 in Union Co, IL. Polly was his cousin. They were the parents of at least two children, Jacob Young Jr, born about 1813;. Susan Young, born about 1815.

William & Elizabeth Huff Young's son, J

William & Elizabeth Huff Young's son, Jacob Young, left the family home in Fauquier County Virginia and followed the exploration & migration route of many others through the Shenendoah Valley to Washington County Virginia. In those days, Washington County Virginia was very much a wilderness, extending all the way west to include the future states of Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, and Tennessee. Herehe met the large Boren family who were neighbors and friends with Daniel Boone's family. Circumstantial evidence indicates Jacob Young first married Cassandra Boren, a daughter of John & Sarah Alley Boren with whom he had a son named Squire, and a daughter named Elizabeth (Biography of Alfred Douglas Young, FHL film 0237886). Daniel Boone had a brother named Squire who was greatly admired, and Daniel's father was also named Squire.

According to FHL book 976.9/X2h; First Census of Kentucky; JACOB YOUNG is listed as paying taxes 23 Jun 1790 in Lincoln Co Virginia. Lincoln Co Virginia consisted of the entire bottom third of the present state of Kentucky. Also listed on the Lincoln Co tax lists are Morgan Bryan Sr and Jr (FHL film 442470, page 272). The Bryan and Boren families had known each other for many years and also had familial connection.

The bottom part of Lincoln Co Virginia included the Sulfur Fork of the Red River where the Youngs, Bryans, and Borens lived. It has been postulated therefore that Squire's father, Jacob Young, met andmarried CASSANDRA BOREN (b. abt 1776), daughter of John & Sarah Alley Boren. She is the only one of the family at the right age with an unknown husband. John Boren was living in the same Sulfur Fork location as Jacob Young (FHL film 442470, deed book B page 198, 4 Oct 1794), "John Boren of Tennessee Co Tennessee to Charles McIntosh of the same, 50 acres for 50 pounds, on Sulpher Fork, adjacent William and John Boren, originally granted to Adam Hampton Oct 1787"; Witnesses, Thomas Johnson and George Busco, signed by John Boren.

Tennessee County of 1774 embraced parts of present-day Kentucky and north-central Tennessee, including Sulphur Fork of the Red River. When Tennessee was admitted as a state to the Union in 1796, two new counties were formed, one denominated Robertson and the other Montgomery. Sulphur Fork of the Red River then fell into Robertson County. Jacob Young was an original settler of the town of Springfield in Robertson Co Tennessee, where he is listed numerous times in the early court records there.

1804: It is believed that Cassandra Boren Young died in 1804 (perhaps giving birth to Elizabeth) and Jacob Young married Cassandra's cousin Mary Boren, daughter of Basel Boren. Mary raised the two babies, Squire & Elizabeth, as her own and bore three additional sons with Jacob Young before separating from him in 1809. These three sons were: William (Billy) Young, b. 28 Aug 1805; John Young, b. abt1806; and Alfred Douglas Young, b. 13 Apr 1808.

1809: Mary separated from Jacob Young and took the children with her to Union County Illinois, where her father Bazel Boren was living. Alfred Young later wrote (caps added): "I was born in Springfield, Robison [Robertson] County, Tennessee on the 13th of April 1808. My father's name was Jacob Young.

My mother's maiden name was Mary Boren... MY FATHER HAD A SON NAMED SQUEIR [Squire] who lived long enough to have a large family. HE ALSO HAD A DAUGHTER, ELIZABETH, who was the next younger child thenSqueir who died when about eighteen years old and before marriage. My brother WILLIAM... THE OLDEST CHILD OF MY MOTHER... raised a large family and died in the town of Washington in southern Utah. Mybrother John, born between my brother William and myself died when small; perhaps when five or six years old...

My father was an excellent mechanic and went from home for a considerable distance to labor on a large job and was not heard from for many years. My mother's father persuaded her to go with him to thestate of Illinois. There she lived for several years single, without hearing from her husband. My father returned to the place where he had left his family and married a Polly Wough [Huff].

I went to Tennessee in the spring of 1842 where I saw my stepmother who was a widow, my father having died. By his second [third] wife he left two children, a boy Jacob and a girl whose name I think was Susan. While among my friends in Tennessee in 1842, I baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, three of my father's brothers and their families...

The apparent accidental separation of my father and mother took place before I was born and I was about one year old when she went to the state of Illinois with her father where as before stated she married Willis Boren. We lived there until I was about twelve years old when the family moved into the state of Kentucky. There they lived about two years and moved into Madison County, Tennessee."

Jacob Young was paid for doing repairs on the county jail in Janurary 1801. It is said that the Young brothers were all good at working with metal and machines (Robertson Co Tennessee Court, Thursday 22 Jan 1801): "JACOB YOUNG produced account for one dollar for working on jaol, which was allowed."

Jacob Young was nominated as a grand juror in April 1801 (Robertson Co Tennessee Court, Monday 20 Apr 1801): "Grand Jurors elected, David Huddleston foreman, Nimrod McIntosh, Abraham Tippy, Webster Gilbert, Elias Fort Jr, Walter Stark, Arthur Pitt, Caleb Winters, William Benson, Elias Fort, Moses Beason, John Siglar, Richard Matthews, JACOB YOUNG."

Jacob Young was granted a license to operate a cotton press by the January 1802 court. The cotton press was used to crush seeds of the cotton plant to obtain oil for sale. (Robertson Co Tennessee Court, Wednesday 20 Jan 1802): "JACOB YOUNG, possessor of a cotton press, gave bond, Joseph Robertson & Abraham Tippy his securities, took oath."
