John and Elizabeth Young, born in the 18th century, were among the earliest white settlers of what is now Alexander City. The couple is buried in the Young family plot at the Alexander City Cemetery.

Three Missouri brothers may have just inherited a historic Alexander City property through their great- great-grandparents, the family found out earlier this week.

"We have no idea what we'd do with those two acres," said Walter Young, one of the brothers, adding, "I am interested in the history. I have been chasing Young history for several years."
