William
Young,
"(William)...was a shoe cobbler by trade and belonged to the "Dunkard" (later changed to the "Brethern") church. The early Dunkard people wore a distinctive dress much like the early Quaker's, drab brown, grey or black in color. The women wore long dress's with large collars, the points of which came down over the breasts with Bonnets tied under the chin. The collars and bonnets were often white. In church they believed in no musical instruments, but did allow a tuning fork for pitch when singing." The following paragraph also references William Young as it relates to his granddaughter Rhoda McMullen: "One day when she was 4 years old, about 4 pm she (Rhoda) and her sisters went to look for eggs. She followed her sisters and became lost in the woods. She was found the next day asleep by a log. Her Grandfather (William Young) carried bread in his pocket knowing she would be hungry when she was found."
According to Young researcher Gary Young, William's brother
John P. Young was also a cobbler/shoemaker.
