Laura,
It has been a long time since you posted your query about Martha Swain's sister Mrs. Young, so you may have this information by now, but I will respond just in case you don't.

Joanna Frances "Fannie" Swain born abt. 1859 in McNairy Co., Tennessee, married Thomas Calvin Young who was born 1851/1853 either in Henderson or McNairy Co., Tennessee. I don't know where they married or where their families were in 1870, but here is the 1880-1920 census information about them.

1880 Census Jackson, Newton, Arkansas
Calvin YOUNG Self M Male W 27 TN Farming TN         TN
Francis YOUNG Wife M         Female W 21 TN Keeping House TN TN
John YOUNG Son S Male W 6 AR         TN         TN
Jasper YOUNG Son S Male         W        2 AR         TN         TN

Calvin and Joanna Frances were in Johnson Co., Arkansas, from 1900 through 1920:

I am researching the Young family. According to a descendant, Thomas Calvin was the son of John A. and Catherine Young of Henderson Co., Tennessee, but I have not located them on the 1860 or 1870 censuses to confirm that they had a son of the right age. It is also possible that Thomas Calvin's parents were Orville and Mary Young. They had a son named Calvin, b. 1851, who was on the 1860 census with them in McNairy Co., but he wasn't living with them in 1870.

Where was the Swain family in 1870? I assume Calvin Young was living near by.

Janice
