    Notes 
    • On p. 50 of YOUNGBLOOD-ARMSTRONG & ALLIED FAMILIES is written (The Youngbloods) "lived along the Eastern Seabord in Maryland and Virginia for more than one hundred years before joining the migration southward.  They settled in North Carolina in time to become involved in the War of the Regulation in that state.  The Regulation Movement was organized about 1768, by Protestants whose center was Orange County, as a protest to the oppression of corrupt British officials. Some historians refer to this movement as the Forerunner of the Revolution and consider those who took part in it as martyrs to the cause of American Independence...."
      "Thomas Youngblood was one of the Signers of the Petition sent to the British officials by the Regulators in 1768, according to the Colonial Records on North Carolina....  Three other Youngblood men also were signers of the petition, John, James and Peter Youngblood, several Miles men were also signers.  This is significant since the Miles intermarried with the Youngbloods in Maryland and moved to North Carolina, South Carolina and Alabama also."
      "Still seeking an opportunity to live in peace, Thomas Youngblood moved on down into South Carolina about 1770, but again his hopes were not fulfilled for the War of the Revolution was inevitable.  Thomas Youngblood again offered his services to those who love freedom."

    Notes 
    • From the book YOUNGBLOOD-ARMSTRONG & ALLIED FAMILIES by Frances Youngblood and Floelle Youngblood Bonner on pp. 25-26:
      "History tells us that the migration of new settlers into Alabama followed a rather well defined pattern.  As a rule, the Tennesseans crossed over the broad Tennessee River into the Northern section and gradually pushed down towards the center of the state.  The Georgians stayed as close to their old homes as possible by taking up lands in the eastern section.  The Virginians and Carolinians, who had already left their old homes far behind them, pressed on deeper into the new state.  They took possession of the bottom lands near the great rivers or the fine agricultural regions in the west and southwest."
      ".... Following this pattern, Thomas Youngblood, coming from South Carolina in 1834, selected for his new home a site on Chunnenuggee Ridge in Pike County, now Bullock.  This land was located about ten miles southwest of Union Springs, near the little town of Orion. Bughall and Mountain Creeks flowed through his property, thereby insuring sufficient water for his live stock.
      "It was here that William Youngblood, his first grandson, was born on December 5, 1839.
      "On the way to Alabama from Edgefield District, South Carolina, Thomas Youngblood and his wife, Jane (Head) Youngblood, with all ten of their children stopped for about a year in Harris County, Georgia, probably to make a crop to feed them for the rest of the journey.  He was accompanied by other members of his family, brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces and their families, who also settled in Pike County and established the little town of Youngblood, Alabama, which is still on the map of the state.
      "Farmer's History of Pike County states as follows: 'The small town of Youngblood is located about ten miles northwest of Troy in the direction of Montgomery.  It was settled in 1834 by James Youngblood, David Youngblood, Jacob Youngblood and John B. Youngblood.  They migrated from Edgefield District, South Carolina.  In the early days the Youngbloods had a mill.  The mill rock was brought from Edgefield, South Carolina, by James Youngblood and for many years it was the only mill in the section...."
      "Thomas Youngblood was a wealthy man when he came to Alabama...."
      Thomas and Jane were both consistent members of the Baptist Church as were all ten of their children.  Though Thomas and Jane died in the same house, they're listed as having died in different counties -- their boundaries having changed between their deaths.
