Young family - Loudoun
After several years of searching, I finally identified the husband of my great grandmother's sister, Annie TATE, and found her with her husband and children in Loudoun. Annie Tate Young outlived all her children, and migrated to Montclair NJ after the death of her husband, sometime after the 1900 census.
We have never discovered why Annie's surname was TATE and her sister's surname was PAYNE. We do know that Annie at some point in time during slavery was not owned, or employed by, the same person who owned her sister (my great grandmother) Mariah Luella PAYNE.

Notes:
Annie owned 11 acres of land in Loudoun. Between 1930-32 a lawyer Allen Montclair sold the land.
Annie Tate Young worked for 3 white ladies, "Miss Kate and Miss Lizzie" at 44 Harrison Avenue, in Montclair. She stayed with a family named Davis - Charles Davis was their son. When she died. she was living at the Davises.
In the 1930 census for Loudoun County VA –her house is listed as "closed – New Jersey" with a line through her name – Annie TATE. Directly under her name is a line through the name of a "Mary Davis" – also indicating she also is in NJ.
Annie (Tate) Young is found in Montclair, Essex, NJ in 1930 age 81 widowed, listed "aunt" to the h-o-h Sarah DAVIS, 59 widow – born VA.
Sarah Davis has a son – Charlie 22, born NJ.
(This census information has been confirmed by my living aunt Baskerville).
Going back ten years, I find Sarah Davis with son Charlie and two older sons, William b. abt 1892 and Clarence b. abt 1894, in 1920 now with husband John W Davis, born NC.
In 1920, gr grandAunt Annie Young is still in NJ – staying in the home of her niece Leticia Payne Williams (my grandmother’s sister) and husband James Baskerville.
Going back to 1910 Annie is living in Mercer, Loudoun VA , age 65, widowed ,with my great grandmother (her sister) Louella Payne Williams, in the household of Louella’s son John Williams in Loudoun. Annie is listed as no children born – none living, (though my aunt Baskerville says Annie had children who died before she did).
Meanwhile her niece Sarah Davis is still in Montclair NJ in 1910 and low and behold – the two older boys, William and Clarence are now listed as step-sons to John W Davis . Their surname is now "Moore", their father – unknown first name Moore is listed as born VA. Sarah is listed as married 3 years to John Davis. Charley, age 2 is a Davis however. In the same house – there is a Walter Young (29, b.VA ) and his wife Rebecca.
The surname of Moore rings a bell because it is one I have in my tree – from Loudoun, related by marriage to my Payne’s and Tate’s. Many of them moved to Essex NJ.
In 1900 – I look for Sarah Moore – with her sons. I find Sarah (misspelled) – working as a servant for a white family:
Name: Sarah Morre
Home in 1900: Montclair Ward 1, Essex, New Jersey
She is listed as having two children – but they aren’t with her. I now begin to search for Sarah’s children – surnamed Moore. Can’t find them anywhere in New Jersey. I was looking for son’s born New Jersey – as per census of 1910, and 1920.
What I do find is a Clarence and William Moore (the right ages, but listed as born VA) living with grandparents in Mercer, Loudoun county VA!
The grandparents are "John and Annie Young". However Annie is listed as 13 children born – 11 living. And John Young is born 1824. Annie is listed as born 1843 (close to other records – 1945 usually)
They are listed as married 39 years – which would place the marriage/union around 1861, which would still be during slavery – and according to my aunt, Annie ran away from Loudoun at about 14 or 15 – around 1861 – my aunt says because her mistress was very mean. Could she have left a husband/consort behind? And returned as soon as she could?
In the household in 1900 is a Jackson Young son, b. 1879, Cyrus Young son b. 1884.
Grandchildren in the house are;
Rosie Tibbs b. 1889
William b. 1892 and Clarence Moore b. 1894
Ella Strother 3 months old.
I find John and Annie listed in 1870 as well:
Name: John Young
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1824
Age in 1870: 46
Birthplace: Virginia
Home in 1870: Southern District, Loudoun, Virginia
Race: Colored
Gender: Male
Post Office: Bloomfield
Loudoun county birth records list births of a Mary Jane 1876, Luther, 1874 and Jackson Young 1878 to a John and Ann/Annie Young
The 1870 census also lists a Cyrus Young b. 1822 – perhaps a brother of John?
Next puzzles - Who is Sarah Davis? Who are the parents of Ella Strother ? Who are the parents of Rosie Tibbs?
