Young-32027 and Young-3360 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicate profile. Found multiple births and death dates. The birth was probably in England, no hard evidence either way.

I found a book called A History of the Pioneer Families of Missouri: https://archive.org/stream/ahistorypioneer00bryagoog/ahistorypioneer00bryagoog_djvu.txt

It was written by WM. S. BRYAN AND ROBERT ROSE. Published in 1876 by BRYAN, BRAND & CO., ST. LOUIS, MO. William Young is mentioned on pg 194. I says that he came from England to Halifax VA. No date but it mentions this wife Elizabeth and his children as you have listed here. Have you seen it and do you think it is a reliable source?
