William Youel was a veteran of the Revolutionary War and land owner in western Rockbridge County. After serving in the Revolutionary War he returned to his home and increased his land holdings and was one of the founders of the Lebanon Presbyterian Church in the nearby community of Craigsville. The church is still inexistence today. He also participated in the effort to oppose an established church in Virginia which resulted in the adoption of the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom, which was drafted by Thomas Jefferson. The home that Mr. Youel built in 1834 still stands today is maintained as a private residence. William Youel and members of his family are buried in the Family Cemetery near his home, some 4-miles north of this historic marker.
