Additional Information & Documentation As far as documentation for John Francis Young being the son of John Mathew Young and Elizabeth Frances Holley, I only have personal knowledge of John Francis Young's wife, Sara Rosa Lee (Rosy) McCarty Young. John Francis never lived with his mother and father. His mom died when he was 9 days old and his dad left him with his maternal grandparents to raise. I have found the marriage record of John Mathew and Elizabeth Francis. John Francis Young's death certificate lists his mother a "Morris." There is a connection to the Morris family but his mother was a "Holley."
