Young, which was a portion of the John C. Carey DLC. 320 acres in original and present farm. ***8/31/15 Update actual founding date is 1866, as the land purchased from Cox is different than the land from Milton Young (deed is being supplied for records which is the origination of the farm), the property purchased in 1861 was sold prior to purchase of this farm in 1866. |
