Here is data on the original owner of the given name Younger in the Newton & Herndon families. This is really a testament to the great friendship of two brothers-in-law. Giles Newton & wife Elizabeth Terrell, had several children, among them, siblings, Younger Newton and Ann Newton. Ann Newton (1764 VA-aft. 1830 TN) married Benjamin Herndon (1760 VA-1814 SC). Benjamin and Younger each named sons after each other. Benjamin (& Ann Newton) Herndon had a son Younger Herndon (1785 VA-1859 TN). Younger (& ? Carhill) had a son Benjamin Newton (?-?). In turn Younger Herndon carried on that family respect naming his own son, born 1836, Younger Newton Herndon (1836 KY/TN-1904 KY). Warning (mass-published online errors): Elements from all three of these men have been muddled together online as though they belonged to one person.
