Estate Settlement of 1829 in Granville, NC
In 1825 John, James and Henry Young sold land to the Clack brothers. (We think these three men are James and Henry Young sons of John and Rachel Young, and the John Young is the husband of Frances Young, daughter of John and Rachel Young.) Later Mrs Sally Field, widow of James Field, correctly claimed that 100 acres of the land that was sold had belonged to her husband and that she was therefore entitled to compensation from the Clack brothers because she had never received any money from the sale of the land. The Clack brothers brought suit in 1829 against James, Henry and the estate of John Young who had died The children of the deceased John Young who were then in Tennessee are his executors, John Y. Young, Henry and Smith Young. For purposes of the suit, only Smith Young qualified as executor of the estate of John Young, deceased.
