Lee's (1807-1870) Army of Northern Virginia in a series of battles and skirmishes.  In the early years of the Civil War, however, the Army of the Potomac suffered defeats at the Battle of the First Bull Run in 1861, the Peninsula Campaign and the Battle of Fredericksburg in 1862, as well as the Battle of Chancellorsville in 1863.  Historians attribute its initial lack of victories to poor leadership from a succession of indecisive generals: Irvin McDowell (1818-1885), George McClellan (1826-1885), Ambrose Burnside (1824-1881), and Joseph Hooker (1814-1879).\n","When General George Meade (1815-1872) took command of the Army of the Potomac in June 1863, he was successful in pushing the Army of Northern Virginia out of Pennsylvania following the Battle of Gettysburg.  General Ulysses S. Grant's (1822-1885) headquarters were located with Meade's forces for the duration of the War, and he advised Meade to continually attack the Army of Northern Virginia despite heavy casualties among his troops.  Though Meade lost large numbers of soldiers at the Battles of the Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House, and Cold Harbor in 1864, they were ultimately successful in weakening Southern forces and morale, contributing to the Confederate surrender of April 1865.  The Army of the Potomac disbanded at the conclusion of the Civil War."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe W.

He married Elizabeth Francis Lickey (born 1841) and had two sons: Fenton Young (1867-20 November 1938) and Charles Young (October 5, 1873-23 March 1931). The Youngs are buried in North Fork Regular Baptist Cemetery.","The earliest deed documents George Young buying property from his sister, Anne Bowles (born 1820), and her husband Isaac G. Bowles. The Bowles married in 1833 and moved to Tyler County, WV. The transfer is signed by their mother Rebecca Young (1782-30 November 1870), widow of William Young (died 1849)."," The other deeds document George and William buying property from their neighbors in the North Fork area. This includes Emanuel and Margaret Vansickler, John and Mahala Vansickler, and Joseph and Rosalie Howell. Both the 1853 Yardley Taylor Map of Loudoun County and an 1860 tax map show the Youngs' property near North Fork Baptist Church, bordered by the Vansicklers' property in Mt. Gilead as described in the deeds.","This collection is composed of four deeds involving the Young family. Each deed lists the selling and buying parties, the amount of money paid, and a description of the land being sold, including surveying coordinates and landmarks such as Goose Creek, Beaverdam Creek, Mt. Gilead, and North Fork Road. The deeds end with the signatures of the parties involved, clerks, and other witnesses to the sale.","The first deed is from 16 June 1854 and documents the sale of land from Anne Bowles to her brother George Young. It is written on folded, plain, blue paper. The second, dated 17 April 1858, documents the sale of land from John and Mahala Vansickler to William and George Young. It is written on a large, folded, green pre-printed form. It is affixed with a one dollar stamp and a fifty cent stamp. The third is from 24 April 1869 and documents the sale of land from Emanuel and Margaret Vansickler to William and George Young. It is written on pre-printed form with information specific to the deed filled in by hand.The fourth deed is from 23 April 1888 and documents the sale of land from Joseph M. and Rosalie Howell to William Young.
