Excerpt from "Robert Young, Sr. Patriot and Pioneer" by Fred and Dessie Simmons, © 1984, page 265, “When ‘Bob’ Young was four years old, the Federal soldiers came to his home and forced Hugh P. Young, Jr. to enter the service. According to the late Francis D. Young, Hugh P. Young, Jr. had not joined the service (Civil War) because he was ill. However, the Federal officers did not believe he was ill, ‘not sick, just pretending’ and forced him to enlist November 15, 1862 in the 79th Regiment. He died January 27, 1863 (approximately two months after enlisting) at Jackson, MS of measles and was buried in the National Cemetery, Shiloh, MS. Mildred Young McKinney, a descendant, has visited the cemetery where Hugh P. Young, Jr. was buried.”
