WILLIAM S. YOUNG, is
one of the oldest surviving pioneers of Blooming Grove Township
in fact of Richland Co.; he was born in this township May 14,
1821, and has always lived here, with the exception of one year
he lived in Shiloh; he remembers the time the Indians were here,
how they used to play with him. At that time, it was a
wilderness, no wagon roads; they blazed trees as their guide.
Beall's trail was the only noted highway they had in the
township. He can recall many hardships and privations he
had to contend with, that the present as well as the future
generations will never experience. He was married, Feb.
14, 1849, to Margaret Jane Dunlap, who was born in Wayne
Co. July 2, 1825, where she resided until the age of 9 years,
when her parents came to this township, where she has always
lived. They have three children, named James
Henry, John Benton and Matt; the two
first-named are married. Mr. Young, has by
strict economy made for himself and family a good home.
