Answer 2

Part 1:  His mother may be Emily Frances (Robertson) Ford Young.  It appears he is stepson to James Young and Emily F in 1880.  You might want to plug in his siblings names/date ranges/locations in the free search tool at: https://familysearch.org/search to see if you can find any details on his father.

His mother's full name is taken from the birth record of a step sister Almeda.   Didn't find anything on the father who must have died between 1870-1878?

Too much too fit.  See 2nd answer for remaining details.
