Young Cemetery, Pike County, Missouri City/Town: Hartford Township Comments: The "Young Cemetery" is a family cemetery that we have been searching for a long time. We are in the process of restoring the "Young Cemetery". Only one tombstone is still attached to its base but it is leaning very badly. We have been able to find 5 more tombstones that were buried very deep and some of the tombstones were broken but we have found all the pieces. These are my Great Great Grandparents, their son & his wife, their daughter, their granddaughter, and many field stones (15+)representing slave graves. There may be more but this is what we have found so far. We are hoping to repair the broken tombstones and put them back on the bases that are also buried deep. The "Young Cemetery" is located in a pasture and we are hoping to fence the cemetery in so the cattle won't destroy it anymore. My Great Great Grandfather was born 1799 in Kentucky, and my Great Great Grandmother was born 1801 in Virginia. Their daughter was born 1823 in Kentucky, and! their son was born in 1825, also in Kentucky. Their granddaughter was born 1863 in Missouri, but the tombstone only gives a death date, but she was born when her Mother died in child birth, providing us with a birth date. Also the tombstone gives the granddaughter's age at death, which coinsides with the birth date. Where do I list the names and birth & death dates? Do you want only what is on the tombstone? Or if all the dates are known even if they aren't on the tombstone, do I submit them? If the age at the time of death is on the tombstone, do I list that? Sincerely, Phyllis J.
