Mother*Elizabeth Morrison2 d. b 1 Jun 1850
Birth*October 1843William B. Young was born in October 1843 in Virginia.3,1,4 
Relationship Note*William and John Young were twins.3 
(Son) Deathbefore 1 June 1850He and his twin brother were not yet 7 years old when their mother died before 1 June 1850, the official date of the 1850 census. The boys and their baby sister were enumerated with their father, in September of that year, and their mother was not with them.3 
(Son) Census US 185017 September 1850William, his twin brother and their sister were enumerated on the 1850 census taken on 17 September 1850 in the household of their widowed father in District 4, Braxton County, Virginia. The twins were 7 years old.3 
(Grandson) Census US 18603 August 1860William was enumerated with his father, stepmother and siblings on the 1860 census taken on 3 August 1860 in the household of his stepmother's mother and stepfather, Elizabeth and Michael Acerman, near the Braxton Court House Post Office, Braxton County, Virginia. William and his twin brother were 16 years old. The family of Lewis Perkins was enumerated in the first previous household on the same census page.5,6 
Census US 1870*5 July 1870William B. Young was enumerated on the 1870 census taken on 5 July 1870 in the household of Jeremiah H. and Almira J. "Gillaspie" near Braxton Court House Post Office, Franklin, Braxton County, West Virginia. William was 26 years of age, and working as a farmer.1 
(Neighbor) MurderThe savage murder of Jemima Green, which occurred on 20 May 1875 near Sutton, Braxton County, produced, according to the newspapers, "a great deal of excitement." For at least four years after her murder, news articles covering her brutal killing, and the resulting multiple arrests and trials of the accused, were published in West Virginia newspapers. Some of the individuals mentioned in the news articles, as events developed, included Isaac Lewis Perkins, Samuel Ellis Perkins, David Wine, Elijah Perkins, Mariah Jane (Chapman) Hines, Isaac W. Hines, Sarah Jane Mollohan, Elizabeth (Rogers) Mollohan, William B. Young and Sarah Jane (Wine) Wine Williams. We've transcribed several of the news articles and placed them here with Jemima.7 
(Neighbor) Trial6 December 1875His neighbor, Sarah Jane Mollohan, who was described as the "paramour" of Samuel Ellis Perkins, appeared as a witness for his defense at his trial for the murder of Jemima Green which began on 6 December 1875 in a special term of the Circuit Court for Braxton County. The trial lasted nine days, with 80 witnesses examined, before the jury found the prisoner, Samuel Ellis Perkins, guilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced him to confinement in the Penitentiary. The prisoner then moved the court to set aside the verdict of the jury and grant him a new trial on the grounds that the verdict was contrary to law and the evidence in the case, and on the ground that a member of the jury had expressed an opinion previous to the trial, and on account of newly discovered evidence. Five affidavits were offered to the court by counsel for the Defense, among them the sworn statement of Sarah Jane Mollohan, the second paramour of the prisoner who had recently ousted Mariah Jane (Chapman) Hines. Mollohan's statement was that she, Sarah Jane Mollohan, her mother, Betsy Mollohan, and William B. Young, all residents of Little Otter creek, had together visited the home of Jemima Green on the night of the murder at about 2 o'clock. Her statement was that she, Sarah Jane Mollohan, stood at the door and witnessed her mother, Betsy Mollohan, and William B. Young bludgeon Jemima Green to death.

Although her terrible statement was not readily believed, the Court decided it was just as worthy as the story of a previous lover of Samuel Ellis Perkins, Mariah Jane (Chapman) Hines, who had testified against him, and possibly more so from the fact she, Sarah Jane Mollohan, admitted to being one of the murderers herself. The Court, after further examination of the case, set aside the verdict of the jury and granted Samuel Ellis Perkins a new trial. And on his petition, and the petitions of the other two prisoners, Isaac Lewis Perkins and David Wine, ordered a change in venue in each of the cases to the Gilmer Circuit Court. Our transcription of this complete news article may be found among the others with Jemima.8 
(Neighbor) Evidence3 March 1876 On 3 March 1876, William's neighbor, Sarah Jane Mollohan, who was then very sick and expecting to die, made her oath for the Court that her former statement of 20 December 1875 was entirely false and that she had been hired, and scared into making it by the Perkins family. Sarah Jane, who had been identified at the first trial of Samuel Ellis Perkins as his paramour, had made an oath for the Court at that first trial stating that the murder of Jemima Green had been committed in her presence by her mother, Betsy Mollohan, and William B. Young. Our transcription of this short news item may be found among the other articles with Jemima.9 
Census US 1880*1 June 1880William B. Young was enumerated on the 1880 census taken on 1 June 1880 in Otter, Braxton County, West Virginia. He was single, 44 years of age and working as a photographer. He was recorded as the head of his household, and was enumerated alone. It appears to us that the census pages are not in the correct order, and that he may have actually been living next to, or renting from, a Perkins family.10 
Marriage*31 March 1900He married, as her second husband, Emma J. (Hines) McElwaine, daughter of Hiram Hines and Susannah Skidmore, on 31 March 1900 in Braxton County, West Virginia.11,4 
Census US 1900*2 June 1900Emma j. and William B. Young were enumerated on the 1900 census taken on 2 June 1900 in Holly, Braxton County, West Virginia. William was 56 years of age and working as a miller, and Emma was 37 years of age. They had been married for two months, and Emma had given birth to five children, all of whom were living. They owned their house with a mortgage, and both were able to read, write and speak English. Emma's eldest daughter from her first marriage, Maud McElwaine, who was 15 years old, was enumerated with them in 1900. Emma's other four children were each enumerated with different relatives in Braxton and Webster counties in West Virginia.4,12,13,14,15 
(Husband) Death21 January 1934William became a widower when Emma j. (Hines) McElwaine Young died on 21 January 1934 at age 76.16,17 
Death*11 February 1936He died on 11 February 1936 in Braxton County at age 92.2
