He was born a month after his fathers death, his mother remarried and had nine other children by Solomon Cobb. Noted as pioneers in Cleveland, OH.

His father Moses Younglove Sr. died in 1811, a month before this only son was born, and from the age of four or five years, a stepfather had helped attend to the latter's physical and spiritual needs. Moses C. Younglove had no capital to invest when he reached Cleveland. His only resources were an alert mind, able to recognize Opportunity when he met it, comonsense, and willing hands. He found employment in a small book store on the north side of Superior street, and within a year, it is claimed, had purchased a share in the business, and such was the faith in the young man's honesty that his note was accepted without security or payment. The firm was now "Wetmore and Younglove." The partner was Edward Wetmore. a fine young man, who, within few years, sold out his own share of the business to Younglove and removed to a suburb of Cincinnati. In the Cleveland Directory of 1845 we find the following:"Younglove, M.C.-book and stationery store, book and job printing and book-binding, 46 Superior Street." This stand was under the American House. Seven years elapse, and with John Hoyt he has started a paper mill at 137 Broadway, the first one in the city.
Meanwhile, five of his half-brothers had come on from New York state to join his fortunes, and three of them, Brutus J., Caius C., and Junius B.Cobb, had taken charge of or purchased the book store. Other pioneer enterprises were
started by Mr. Younglove and these in connection with real-estate deals, made him a very rich man. He owned a lot on the Public Square, part of the Horace Perry estate, now occupied by the Park Building, and 10 lots on Euclid, from the corner of Willson Ave., East 55th., to the residence of Samuel Kimball. The Penn. R. R. station and tracks cover the one nearest E. 55th street. These were but part of his real-estate holdings. He lived 56 years in Cleveland.

Found M.C. Younglove in a book called Los Angeles City California Deaths 1877-1892.
MC Younglove died 13 April 1892 at 80y 4m widowed from NY 5m in LA County living in the Westminster Hotel buried in Cleveland, OH
