Biography
Margaret was born in 1770, the daughter of Alexander Young and Margaret Rankin of Kilsyth. The inscription on tombstone says death in 1822 but I don't know if it was margaret or her husband Robert who died in that year. Her name (Young) was given to her great granddaughter Margaret Young Yuill Smith in 1870.
