The Mississippi Territory was opened for new settlers after the Creek
Indian Wars of 1813-1814. The Alabama Territory was created from the
Mississippi Territory in 1817. On February 7, 1818, the Territory
Legislature created Cahaba County. Alabama became a state on Dec 14,
1819. The families of Young and David Goodwin migrated to Alabama
Territory in 1817.

Young and his brother David, along with Richard Bird Sr. with the
families of their married children settled land that became Cahaba
County. this land would later become Bibb County and at the present is
Chilton County, in and around the town of Maplesville, Alabama.

Young is buried in the Goodwin Cemetery in Maplesville. This cemetery is
well kept. Fifteen Goodwin's are buried there, including Julius Goodwin
and his wife.

Young was a wealthy man at his death. his will shows that he gave 38
Negroes plus $3000 to his children. This was in addition to the
remainder of his estate which he left to his wife.
