Seeking help with the family of Reuben Young & Nancy Moore of Jesamine Co,. KY. I don't have a date of birth for Reuben, he died bef February 1814. His wife Nancy Moore was b July 08, 1772 and d Bef. 1812. The only child I know of is Nancy who on February 1814 is mentioned as the "inphant orphan of Reuben Young, dec'd made choice of William Wharton as her guardian who entered into bond with Alfred Williams his security.
