Individual Details

Captain Isaac Young of Spartanburg Co South Carolina was probably born by 1755 and was married and with perhaps seven children by 1790. His wife was born about 1755; because of numerous land deeds, and the close proximity of where Isaac and the Cantrell families lived, Isaac's wife may be _____ Cantrell. Isaac was named to serve on the Spartanburg Grand Jury in March 1788, (along with Britain Willeford of the James Creek area, James Alexander and William Lipscomb of the Pacolet River area, and others). And in March of 1790 Isaac Young and Thomas Jordan were named as commissioners to mark and lay out a road from the Pacolet River to Broad River. In January 1793 an Elizabeth Saunders was found by the Co courts to be guilty of bastardy, and was fined �5. Isaac Young and James Saunders agreed in court to pay her fine and also agreed to indemnify the Co from the maintenance of the bastard child. And again Isaac served on the Grand Jury, in January 1794, this time with Richard Young of James Creek, and served again in July 1798. There appears to be two generations of Isaac Youngs in Spartanburg Co between the 1780s and the 1850s, and often both lived with each other. The 1830 census and deed records indicate that Isaac Esquire and Isaac Junior were the same; the subject of this biography is Isaac Senior. Isaac and his family lived in Spartanburg Co, probably near the north center of the county. On 12 November 1812 Isaac Young Sen of Spartanburg Co sold a 183 acre plantation on the waters of the Pacolet River on a branch of Buck Creek to Isaac Young Jun of the same State and District. Isaac Senior made his X mark; witnesses were James and John Cantrell. This land sale was perhaps done on the twenty first birthday of Isaac Junior. In 1790 Isaac's near neighbors were the families of Henry Young, John Young, William Wood, John Cantrell, William Garrett, and others. In 1800 William Garrett and a Richard Cantrell were neighbors, thus indicating that Isaac had not moved. Isaac bought 400 acres from John Woodward on Buck Creek in 1787, 200 acres from Thomas Warren along the North side of the Pacolet River in 22 Mar 1791. This was witnessed by John CANTRELL and Rich'd TURNER. (and sold it the same year to John Bankson). Thomas Hackley Warren was born between 1755 and 1760 in Orange County, North Carolina. He died on 31 Jul 1830. Spartanburg Deed Book B.

(Abraham CANTRELL and Isaac YOUNG of Spartenburg Co., South Carolina, for the sum of $208, sell and convey 250 acres of land on Island Creek and Pacolet River to Moses CANTRELL.

In Deeds of Spartenbury, South Carolina Vol B., pg 313; on 11 Dec. 1789, Isaac YOUNG of Fairfield County, South Carolina buys 400 acres in Spartenburg County from John Woodward. The land is situated on Buck Creek on North side of Pacolet River. The former was granted to Daniel McDaniel on 9 Dec. 1769. Wit: John CANTRELL. There are other land transactions, one in 28 Aug 1804 where Isaac YOUNG (Planter) of Anson Co., North Carolina, buys land on both sides of Island Creek and Pacolet River. This is witnessed by Berry YOUNG (His son). In 17 Dec 1805, Jesse MORROW of Rutherford, North Carolina - for $70 sells land on Island Creek , 140 acres to Isaac YOUNG. Witnessed by Wm.

Isaac was still in the same part of the Co in 1810, but was not there in 1820. In 1830 an Isaac Young Esquire was listed in the census but was shown to be born in the 1790s; apparently the 1830 Isaac was a son of our subject.
