the family of General Henry Young.It has been understood that Gen.Young was quartermaster Genera1 ofVirginia under General GeorgeWashington. The sister of Gen Youngwas named Millicent Young and shemarried Richards and theirdaughter Millicene/Richards marriedWarner Harwood who died in 1808;she died in 1834. One Henry Youngwas administrator of WarnerHarood's estate. How would I goabout locating birth and death dateson Gen. Henry and Millicent Young.I have tried Swem's Index, but canfind no listings of Millicent Young orMillicene Richards. I have read thatRichard Henry Harwood (1802-1872)(son of Warner Harwood) was rearedby Gen. Henry Young and was madehis heir. Since I am tracing the Har­woods. I am eager to tie this connec­tion with the Harwood 'line. I am en­closing a copy of the research I havedone on the Harwoods. so far inhopes that it may be of help to someof your readers.
