My great-great-great-grandfather was named David Young.  Family history records that he was born in Pennsylvania and moved the family to Iowa, but nowhere was it recorded when he died or where he was buried.  I was able to track his grave down to a tiny speck of a town called Andrew in Jackson County, Iowa.The tombstone was far too new to be original.  Some faithful Youngs must have replaced it at some point.Here, finally, I had the date of David Young’s death.  1836.  Which means he died just three years after moving the family from western Pennsylvania.  Still not sure how he died.
