I was interested that you spellea the name of Robert s, and his son John W Lawrence, with an "A" instead of an "O" as pr. DA.

A tiny careless bit of handwriting of one letter of a name can make a big difference foral posterity. | : I looked up .on the Alabama map to see where Danie] Wright's Mc Crary grandchildren lived at one mile West of New Market, Ala. I see it is about 8 or 10 miles north of Huntsville,Ala. The Young Family History said that Nancy Young, who married Danie] Wright, died in Sumner County, Tenn. But, it adaed that Daniel Wight died at Huntsville, Ala. Your Notes said that Nancy. died in Madison County, Ala. which is where poth New Market and HUntsville are. No, I do not know about the Hal] Family History which gives some. KING records. If it isn't too much to ask of you, I would indeed like to know what it says about the-Kings, @bout Andrew Ring, about Hugh B. King, ana about their parents. I.have the list of children of.Hegh -?, King who married Rebecca Gill, but none of their grandchi’ dren. : I see you mention Francis Gill's grave being at Snow Creek. Since I am not sure where Snow Creek is, and assume it is in Ired el], I wish dil}. more thah I had a good map of Iredell so I could locate a)] these name places I keep reading out.

First I sent the $1.0C to Carolina Farm Equipment .Co., .and enclosed a stampec se) f-accressed env lope. They returned the envelope and also sent - two of those booklets with a map of each Block in whfch ssomebocy had divided Iredell County up. I noted parti- “cularly the two blocks where M nting Creek was shown, also P. B. Kennedy's name, and'also P.B. Kennedy, Jr. in a different block. Are those meant for townships? 2 I had already w ritten Rev. John Fleming at the’ Presbyterian Mome at Migh Post but have not heard from him, about the Cowans. Woulc you consider backing up my request for information about the parents of Caro’ine Keziah Cowan who married Dr. John Nisbet Young in 1835? | | Last week I sent those 15% pages of “ing records which you had written out for me to Mr. & Mrs. Moward S. Galloway at Mobile. They had earlier sent me a batch-of Record sheets, bne name on each shect such as Mugh B. King, parents, John Kyng, ‘born March 11, 1743, married Rachae? Young, Dec. 30, 1768, and of Mugh B. Ki-g, married Rebecca Gill, anc - porn in Iredel] County, Died in Bostin Conty, Texas, and ma.ried in Iredell; and located in between in Iredell, Tennessee; Alabama, anc Boston County, Tesas. That last location was quite a surprise. Another sheet, with carbor copy forme to . add to, if I could, was of Jolin King, Parents, Richard King, born in Ireland in.1705, married Margaret Bar,ley, April 7, 1733 (3) Joe?

Soldier in the Revoluticn.Mac 5 sors, 6 daughters, only sons and wife Rachel named in his (John King's) Wil]. Me died before his father but was named in his Will. ; 3 I have no idea who that Rache] Young was the daghter of. I have a strong suspicion that she may have been the daughter of a very active Samuel _ Young who was in the area before Thomas C. Young,Sr. moved to there in 1778, as Samue] was named with two } othr men as Memb ers of the Committee o8 Public Safety, and Thomas! son Samue’ wasn't born until 1783, I believe it was, anyway, after the R,volution was about mded. 3 In the méantime “rs. Catherine Turner of Birmingham,Ala. finally sent me her ancestry and I find that it was both Young and Nisbet, as wel] as Sharpe's widow having marftied Captain 3 nie Nisbet had died. On June 6th my wife and I flew up to Boston to attend the graduation from M.I.T. at Cambridge of our Sth son Joseph Francis. Young. During my 3 days there we did much driving around visiting some cousins in the — area, and several of the historic places such as C: ncord, Lexington, Salem, as wel) as Plymouth and its famous — Rock. Joe and my wife stayed on and visited Paul Revere's home and -shop; tion took the bus for New York, where our e) dest son was born in Jan. 1931, and took the subway to furtherest out Brooklyn as wel’ as Columbia,University about a half block from whichwe lived during the time she was with me. We left therein May 1932 and this was the first trip back for either of us. Then they took bus _ to Washington arriving in the rain, took a taxi out to Arlington Nat '1 Cemetery to see Bobby's grave and wen got a rose, being replaced, fromthe grave. Then to home at 8 PM. June 1ith. OUr married daughter Ann drove up - from “acksonville and stayed from June 17th to Sunday morning June 23rd. Joe and my wife even took the 4 smal) grandchildren on a first train ride to Winston-Salem, re- turning in a couple of hours by bus. | My plane back on June 9th stopped at Washington where I phoneda first cousin at Falls Church; then at Richmond where I phoned cousin Walter Jl Young,Jr. whose father compiledad published the book "Bristol Youngs in America" in 1937,Walter lives at Petersburg. I would have _ phoned another 2nd cousin at Richmond but "Target his first name. Neither he, his wife, mor his in-laws would answer my letters. Thanks again,Mr.Swann.

Young Jr., 49, executive director of the National Urban League, died suddenly last week while swimming in Lagos, Nigeria. His main effort in the human rights movement WAS getting iobs for blacks. Andrew J. Young, a minister in the United Church of Christ, was a close assistant of the late Martin Luther King Jr. and worked with Whitney Young throughout the ‘60s. He is now head of Ailanta’s C, ommunity Relations ‘ommission. ground an promisers. itney Young died at the end of an era. | The:’60s, with all their grandeuf. charis- afatic leadership and great conflict. have given way to a new mood and a new movement, Thenew thitig’”'is “political” and it’s local. The mass marches of Selma in ’65 have led to black sheriffs, county commissioners. probate judges and justices of the peace in several black belt counties of Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia. The emotional outbursts of vio- lence in the cities have been channeled by matur- ing black leadership into a genuine—and increas- ingly successful— ‘Struggle for political power. In addition to its own involvement in local pol- itics, the Urban League's latest thrust iS a good il- lustration of the new directions in the movement. One. of Whitney's final projects was “‘system changes’’—to organize ghetto residents to alter permanently and positively the institutional ser- vices which affect their lives, This project involves the league in picketing, selective buying.and para- political activities to give the poor a greater share of power in the community, The *70s will continue to bring a strengthening of local politics and community organi. ations. We know that we must build and support lead- ers who can continue our drive for dignity and equality. The most militant demand of men like Whitney Young and Martin King was that Amer- ica live out the true meaning of her creed. If we had listened. to these giants 01 ihe ’60s or even let them live to continue working and speaking, we would be closer to their dream of reaching this goal through cooperative and peaceful democrat- ic means. We should give thanks now that they kept hope alive this long, and get on with the busi- ness of building one America.
