Synopsis

This book is the first in a series about Ludwig Jung and his family, German immigrants who arrived at the port of Philadelphia in 1753. Settling on the Drylands near Bethlehem in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, the Jungs became embroiled in French and Indian War and subsequently in the American Revolution and the Civil War. This volume focuses on Nicholas Young, the eldest son of Ludwig, and Leonard Young, a grandson whose descendants lived along the Boiling Fork in Franklin County, Tennessee.  It is a true story with photos of original documents and copious source material to meet the most rigorous genealogical standards.
