My ancestors, Mary Martin and James Freeman lived their lives in the area of Edgefield Dist, SC. The widowed Mary is found living with a Freeman family in 1850. I am quite sure that the head of household is one of her sons. He was born ca 1814. The census is written so that his first name is subject to interpretation. Mary's estate mentions a son whose name was transcribed as Henry at one point and as as Leroy in another document. I'm pretty sure this is one and the same man she was living with in 1850. I find this family in Cherokee Co AL in 1860 and the first name is either Young G or Yancy . The wife is Martha- the children are Thaddeus (or Thomas?), Atticus, Marcellus James, Mary Jane, Susan and Liberty. I feel sure Young/Yancy is the son of Mary and James Freeman and is the son listed as Henry or Leroy. Can anyone shed any light on this family?

I find Atticus served in CSA in Co, B. 31st Alabama Infantry. Thaddeus is in Township 10, Cherokee, Alabama in 1880. Other than these 2 sightings, I can't find this family after 1860. It would sure help to know what that given name is.
