Notes for JAMES YOUNGER:
Source for the following information is "Boone County Historian" - Vol. XII - No. 1 - 1989 - pages 148-156, article compiled from research done by Mabel Motes, Edward Younger, Dreat and Jay Younger, and Helen Turney McMindes:

" James, the youngest son of Alexander and Rebecca, married Anna Nash. They settled in Spotsylvania County and are found there as late as 1750. In 1753, James Younger, the Baptist preacher, was welcomed into the midst of a small band of settlers in the back country of North Carolina, along with his wife Anna and daughter Anna. The settlement was in Rowan County (now Davidson County) at headwaters of Abotts Creek. Through his influence the Abotts Creek Baptist Church was established and since he was not an ordained minister, he brought in Elder Daniel Marshall from a nearby congregation to take over.
In 1770, on the eve of the American Revolution, when violence broke out along the frontier because of the discontent over high taxes and fees and other grievances, the antagonisms culminated in the organization of the Regulator Associations. Governor Tryon called out the militia and sent it to the back county to quell the uprising. A battle at Alamance led to their total defeat. Some of the leaders were hanged and hundreds took the oath of allegiance to the government. Many others fled across the mountains and settled the fertile lands along the Qatanga and Holston Rivers. James was a participant. He and more than 200 others signed Regulators' Advertisement NO. 9, a petition to the Governor and Council for smaller fees for deeds and protest of the "exactions and extortions" of several officers. When defeat came, James and 21 others joined in a petition for clemency, which was evidently granted, for he continued to purchase land.
In 1773, after the Revolution was ended, he moved to Chatham County, NC, just southwest of Durham and Chapel Hill. From then not much is known of him. In 1801, he willed 300 acres of land to his son Thomas Younger and died sometime prior to 1805."
