Biography

Uriah York was born about 1825, in Buncombe County, NC, USA.[1] He is the son of John William York and Rachel (Lee) York.

He married his wife Elizabeth Jane Livingston around 1849. Together they had the following children:

  1. Celia Ann York
  2. John H. York
  3. William York

The first time the couple is seen living together is in 1850, without any children.[2] In 1860, he, his wife, and his elder two children were living in the 4th enumeration district of Fentress County, with their local post office being in Pine Springs.[3]

Uriah passed away January 10, 1865 in Jamestown, Fentress County.[1] He was buried at Bills Creek Cemetery in Jamestown.[1]
