See the Book Written by Dessie Little Simmons, 500 Hillrise Blvd, Johnson City, Tennessee 37601-4022. Ph# 423-928-4952. The Book is titled " Robert Young, Sr., Patriot and Pioneer" and was published by Southern Historical Press.
See note on where he lived under his wife Mary Douglass
Somewhere, somehow, Tobert had obtained a good education for his day and time. His sons and sons-in-law (those who had left wills or other legal documents) had remarkably good signatures.
Lived in Virginia on Buffalo creek in the forks of the James river in the Borden Grant area.
YOUNG [ROBERT SR.] CEMETERY
Located on the grounds of the National Guard Armory, 2717 W. Market St., Johnson City, TN.
GPS location: 36.17.25N 082.22.25W
The cemetery is located in back of the old National Guard Armory which is now owned by East Tennessee State University. Check with the ETSU Physical Plant to arrange admission to the cemetery.
R Y B D 4 [possibly December 4] 1708 or 1718 D [died April 4 1792]
[No name] 1855-1859 probably a stone for one of the two children of Elizabeth Young and Joseph Lyle Burts, who died ealry.
M. (?) Young D C. [deceased Sept 23, 18(3)9 - could be 1829. This could be Mary, wife of Robert Young, Sr.]
T Y BO 1755 DN (/) 21 194 [could be December 21, 1794]
S.B.L. Samuel Bell Love &endash; D C Aug. 10, 1823 [This date is correct according to his will. Samuel Bell Love, was the husband of Mary young, daughter of Joseph young and granddaughter of Robert Young, Sr. and Mary Young. Mary's mother was Esther Crockett Young.]
LIPS (??) D C No (Nov) 19 1838 - [part of this stone was broken off &endash; I do not know who this person could be]
S Y DC SE 15 1826 - [unknown, however, Y certainly stands for Young, but not altogether sure the inverted S is correct. I believe the DC indicated deceased in No. 3. The M. could be for Robert, Sr.'s wife, Mary Young. No. 4 is Thomas Young, No. 1 is Robert Young, Sr.]
Note: Joseph Young had two wives, both named Esther Crockett (They were cousins). In the late 1970's, Fred and Dessie Simmons attempted to find all the stones underneath the vast amount of debris which covered the cemetery. The ground was covered with dead leaves, twigs, pieces of tree limbs and poison ivy. After the Armory became "owners" of the area where the cemetery is located, the men at the Armory cleaned the cemetery and fenced it. After the clearing, 72 graves or spaces were found. James Dykes and his father, copied the stones on a day at noon.
From Washington County Tennessee Wills, 1777-1872 by Goldene Fllers Burgner, 1983:

The DAR erected a monument to Robert Young, Sr. in 1928.
The Robert Young log cabin, built about 1775 on the waters of Brush Creek was restored and marked in 1938 by the U.S. government and the John Sevier Chapter of the DAR. The cabin was moved to Optimist Park on Market Street beside the Boys Club in 1976, which was still on the original land grant. In 1996, the cabin was moved from the original land grant to Winged Deer Park at Boone Lake. It has been modernized, porches added and is being used as offices.
