Notizen bei William Alexander Younger

William Alexander is usually referred to as 'Alexander' by most
researchers and it is likely that he preferred that name. Alexander,
along with his father, Thomas, and his brother-in-law, Spencer Adams,
were members of the Peace Society in 1861 according to the testimony of
Peter Tyler (pgs 94-96 Arkansas Historical Quarterly).
After the Civil War, we find Alexander's family in Searcy County in 1870
and 1880, and in Marion County in 1900. He died near Bruno on January 1,
1906. A headstone was placed in the Stone Cemetery a few years ago, but
it is not certain that is where he was buried. Several researchers
believe he is in the Pea Ridge Cemetery, which is near the farm where he
was living at the time of his death. Lucinda and her daughter, Rebecca
Taylor, moved to Stone County, where she died at Fox and is buried in
Antioch Cemetery at Rushing, Arkansas.
A grandson of Alexander told that he bought his whiskey in a five gallon
keg. When he ran out, he remembered him hitching up the buggy, driving
to a Government Still in Marshall to have it refilled.
Alexander was bedfast for about a year before his death. 'Uncle Shell'
(Dr. Lay) had him on a medication, but he was just lying there. He took
him off the pills, a year later he was still living but no better, so
Shelby took him off his whiskey. He didn't last long after that
according to the grandson.
At age 62, Alexander, as 'an old respectable and credible citizen of this
community' applied for pension No. 680.716, having served as a private in
Co F 46 Missouri Infantry Volunteers under Capt. David Ruff. In this he
states that he left Maury County, TN in 1849 and emigrated to Marion
County, AR and remained there farming until the war broke out in 1862.
Then, because of 'bushwhackers', he moved his family to Springfield, MO,
a place of safety and under Federal protection, and having located them
with the assurance of their safety, he joined the 46 MO Infantry and
remained with them until the close of the war. As soon as practicable he
returned to Arkansas and settled at Richland in Searcy County. He
remained there two years, then moved to Tomahawk in same county. From
there he moved to Marion County, where 'I now reside and have ever
since'. (He is in Water Creek Twp in 1880 and Liberty Twp in 1900.
Liberty was created from Water Creek & Hampton between 1890 and 1900).
His disability was a problem with his left eye and also a back injury
resulting from the fall of his horse in 1865.
On February 3, 1906, Lucinda applied for a widow's pension. At that time
she gave her address as Bruno, Arkansas. She states that he died January
1, 1906 near Bruno. He was 78 years old.
Additional information regarding Alexander as provided to me by William
O. Younger is as follows:
'Early in the war, Alexander, a member of the Chain Gang (north of the
River) marched to Little Rock and joined the Southern Army and about 30
days later deserted, came home, picked up his family and went to
Springfield, MO and enlisted in the Union Army. He was a private in the
Union Army, Co. F, 46th Reg. MO Volunteers, enrolled Aug. 15, 1864.
Mustered out March 31, 1865 at Springfield. He received a pension,
Certificate No. 455556, from 1898 til his death. His application states
he left Murry Co., TN in 1849 and came to Marion Co., AR. There were
three Younger's enlisted: Alexander, age 37; Willis P. Younger, (brother
to Alexander) enlisted August 25, 1864, age 31, born Maury Co., TN; and
Thomas P. Younger (son of David and 1/2 brother of Alexander) who
enlisted Sept 15, 1864, age 17, born Tenn.'
A little discrepancy here and there is noted in these different accounts.
