J., but no longer in use, was erected in 1758 and was a branch of the Woodbridge Meeting House. Here our Young family of eight children said their prayers. The adjoining burial ground contains, in accordance with the early custom of the Quakers, unmarked graves. Probably here lie John, Morgan and Eliza- beth Young, and others of our forbears. The grave of Margaret, sister of John, was recently marked with a memorial stone that reads : Daniel Carrel Margaret Young Carrel Daniel Carrel, Jr. Aug. 30 1745 Oct. 19 1839 Jane Clutter Carrel Mar. 13 1765 Feb. 22 1843 o 11 F YOUNG FAMILY in uneFica COMPILED BY PROF.

Ruth Comfort Mitchell (Mrs. Sanborn Young) [v] Introduction The title of the present volume indicates a limitation that was imposed on me by the fact that research in foreign lands was impossible during the years of World War II. I am hoping that the following-up of the clue in Record #2 will reveal the birthplace in Scotland and the names of the parents of our immigrant ancestor "who arrived in America from the North of Scotland, Nov. n 1722, at the age of nine years." My compilation, limited to America, covers ten generations, about 250 years. The gathering of this domestic material, in the midst of a busy life, has been a stupendous but fascinating task. My sufficient reward is that I now have my own family tree as it was planted and grown in America, and also the trees of several hundreds of my kith and kin. Two trips to the Pacific coast States, following the trail blazed by our adventuresome pioneers, have been made during vacation periods; numerous shorter excursions to centers where our forefathers planted their crops and labored a time on their west- ward march have been taken ; and endless letters have been written to obtain the data in this volume. Our records come from the leaves of old family Bibles, scrap books of old newspaper clippings, old letters, from church and cemetery records, county histories, city directories, census reports and other official documents, and from personal interviews. I have emphasized the fact that our eight immigrant brothers and sisters were Quakers because this affiliation has greatly aided me in distinguishing them and their children from four other Young families who were their neighbors in colonial New Jersey. Just now I am proud that we are of Quaker origin because the Society of Friends in Great Britain and the United States is celebrating the 300th anniversary of its founding by George Fox, the inspired weaver, and is receiving as a birthday gift the Nobel Peace Prize. Perhaps our ancestors were not good Quakers since they bore arms, as their war records show, during the Revolution and because none of their de- scendants, so far as I know, is today a Quaker. Nevertheless, I find a peculiar pleasure in dating my work in the year 1947. This does not mean that the records of all the branches of our family have been brought to date. My special effort has been to trace the descendants of Morgan and Israel Young who were of no kin but were my own paternal and maternal ances- tors. While doing this I have collected considerable data about the de- scendants of the seven brothers and sisters of Morgan and I have thought well to preserve it by incorporating it in this compilation. I have also given space to data about certain Young families who settled near Morgan Young, [vii] viii INTRODUCTION jr. in Adams County, Ohio, whom I suspect but cannot prove to have been his kin. I have also endeavored to trace the marriages of the Young girls and in some instances their families have been carried down to the near present and their husbands' ancestry taken back to their immigrant ancestors. A family tree has become a family grove! Enough has been found about our pioneering ancestors to know that they were men and women of character and capacity. They were first settlers in the Northwest Territory, the present States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and they were leaders there in the social, religious, educational, commercial and political development of their com- munities (Records #6, 9, 14, 15, 18, 28, 34). They were homesteaders in Iowa, Kansas and Missouri and in the farther west as the lands were opened for settlement. R. A. Young was a member of the first legislature of Nevada (Record #308). E. P. Young was the first school teacher in Whiteside County, 111. (#48). A. N. Young was an early member of the Chicago Board of Trade (#118). John and C. S. Young were concerned with the welfare of the Indians (#6, 301). The maps of the early and the present political divisions of Ohio will make for a better understanding of some seemingly contradictory land deeds that have been quoted. The portraits, which are largely of those who saw service in World Wars I and II, are of both the paternal and maternal lines and cover several branches of the family beginning with the third generation in America. One of these, Allan W. Taylor, was killed in action. There are items of general interest in the records of all of the first genera- tion (Records #1, 2, 295, 313, 318, 319, 320, 321, and 322), and also in Records 6, 8, 34, 38 and 84. Every possible effort has been made to avoid unforgivable errors. It may, however, be foreseen that defects will be found. I appeal to my readers for help in making the necessary corrections and also for information that will fill the lacunae. I especially wish to learn why John Young was so generous to so many Loseys in his will. I shall feel happy if my labor of love is appreciated. Edward H. Young.

Thomas WILL OF JOHN YOUNG xi The Will of John Young — Record 1 The will of John Young is the foundation of this compilation. It is the most important single document bearing on our Young family that has been found and is therefore shown here in its entirety, and followed by an important note. This copy of the original will which is filed in the office of the Secretary of State, Trenton, N. J. (File 623 N) was made by the compiler. An abstract of the will is printed in the "New Jersey Archives, 1st Series, Vol. XXXV." In the Name of God Amen y this twenty-third day of March in the year of our Lord One Thousand Seven Hundred and Seventy Four, I John Youngs of the County of Morris in the Province of New Jersey, in good health and sound in mind and memory: — calling to mind the frailty of man, and that it is appointed for all mankind to die, do make and ordain this my last Will and Testament, that is to say, Principally and first of all I recom- mend my soul into the hands of God who gave it me, and my body to the earth to be buried in a decent and Christian like manner at the discretion of my Executors.

And I do hereby utterly disalow, revoke and disannul, all xjv ______ O UR YOU NG FAMILY and every other Testaments, Wills, Legacys & Bequests, and Executors by me in anywise before willed, named and bequeathed. Ratifying and con- firming this and no other to be my last Will and Testament. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal the day and year first above written. Signed, sealed and published, pronounced and declared by the said John Youngs as his last Will and Testament in the presence of: Peter Mackie Jno. Doughty James Ford, jr. John Youngs The following oath is attached to the Will: — "Peter Mackie, one of the witnesses to the foregoing Will, hereto annexed, being duly sworn, did depose and say that he saw John Young, the Testator therein named, sign and seal the same, and heard him publish, pronounce and declare the foregoing writing to be his last Will and Testa- ment, and that at the doing thereof the said Testator was of sound and disposing mind and memory as far as this deponant knows and as he verily believes, and that Jno. Doughty and Jacob Ford, Jun., the other sub- scribing witnesses were present at the same time, and signed their names as witnesses to the said Will together with this deponent in presence of the said Testator. Signed — Peter Mackie Sworn at Morris Town this 8th day of July 1784 before me Jos. Lewis Sur.tt. NOTES ON THE WILL Youngs — with an s — and Yong were common variants of Young in official docu- ments of colonial New Jersey. Our Quaker ancestors from Scotland, when they signed their name did not add the s. John's amanuensis signed for John and John made his mark. Yong was "phonetic" and bad spelling rather than a variant of the English Yonge. Youngs, however, was the spelling used by the family of the Rev. David Youngs who was settled in Morris County, N. J., at the time of our John Young. This may have been the source of the spelling of John's scribe. The will of John Young was probated, July 8, 1784, at Morristown, N. J., in the presence of but one of the three who witnessed its making. There are no accompanying papers to show what disposition of the estate was made by the executors. A natural assumption from this situation would be to think that two of the witnesses were beyond reach, that John died shortly before the date of the probation and that the accompanying papers were lost. According to the following official records John, in less than three months after making his will, sold his plantation which he had requested his executors to sell in order to satisfy his legacies, and John died previous to April 8, 1776. "1774 June 1. John Youngs, of Roxbury, sells to John Losey, of Mendham, for 475 Pounds, his property on the Rockaway river between the two great mountains, 91.37 acres that he bought from David Ogden, Nov. 6 17505 and a second tract that he bought from Richard H. Morris, 25 March 17635 all his land except 4 acres that NOTES ON WILL OF JOHN YOUNG xv he has sold to James Losey. Witness: Joseph Lewis." (County Deed Bk. B; p. 140, Morristown, N. J.) By the purchase of the above land John became John Youngs of Roxbury. See record No. 1. By the sale of the plantation the legacies in John's will were annulled, and both the witnesses to the will and the Court might regard the will, as they seemingly did, of small importance. On April 8, 1776, Letters of Administration were issued, at Morristown, N. J., to Adam Miller, James Puff Losey, James Young and Thomas Millidge, as administrators of the property of John Youngs, of Roxbury Township in Morris County, N. J. These Letters are now on file in the office of the Secretary of State, at Trenton, N. J. (No. 587N). On the back of these Letters of Administration there is written the oath that was taken by the administrators. We quote: "Morris County, N. J. Adam Miller, James Puff Losey and James Young, Administrators with the Will annexed of John Youngs, deceased, being of the people called Quakers, did truly affirm and declare . . . that they will make and exhibit into the Prerogative Office at Perth Amboy, a true and perfect inventory of all the goods, chattels and credits of the deceased, and render a just and true account when thereunto lawfully required. Sworn and affirmed this 8th day of April 1776, before me, Abraham Ogden, Surr. Signed: James Puff Losey, Adam Miller, James Young." The name of Thomas Millidge does not appear on the back of the Letters. It is the studied opinion of the writer that the will annexed to the above Letters of Administration was the will of our John Youngs (File 62 3N, Trenton, N. J.) and not that of another John Youngs of Roxbury. These Letters of Administration seem to have been issued because the will of our John Youngs had been annulled by his selling his plantation. John was legally intestate and hence these Letters of Administration annexed with the will. The administrators named by the Court to carry out the Letters of Administration are not the executors of the will of John but administrators with tlie will annexed, and they are all relatives of our John Youngs, as will be shown under their records. John and the administrators were Quakers. No record of the admin- istrator's report to Perth Amboy can be found. The will probably became separated from the Letters of Administration during the settlement of the personal estate and was probated some eight years later before one witness as a matter of form. An oddity in the will of John is his two bequests to all "the children of my brother Hercules" while none is named. John Miller, son of Mary, is identified as the son of Adam Miller. Charity and Anne Drake, daughters of Morgan and Elizabeth (the only spouse of a brother or sister made a legatee) are not identified as nieces. Jean Lyon probably was a daughter of Robert, brother of John. Doty and Doughty are variants of the same name. An unverified tradition says that Nathaniel Doty married the widow Anne Clark. John Clark, husband of Anny Young, perhaps was related to Henry Clarke, of Brookside, near Mt. Freedom, N. J., whose daughter married Nathaniel Doty, Jr. The relationship of John Young to the several Loseys who are legatees has not been satisfactorily established. If Jane, wife of John Losey (Will, 1765) was a sister of John Young the list of nephews and nieces made legatees would be enlarged. What is known is that Morgan Young, Jr. married Jane (b. 1758), daughter of John and Jane Losey, near the end of the Revolution. John Burwell, son of John of Rockaway, was also the son of Catherine Losey, sister-in-law of Morgan Young, Jr. Edw. H. Young. [xvi] THE JERSEY SETTLEMENT IN WAYNE TOWNSHIP KNOX COUNTY, OHIO A This Cemetery contains the remains of Nathaniel Mitchell Young, the first permanent settler within the present limits of Knox County. He built his cabin within a few hundred yards of his present resting place in Wayne cemetery in the Spring of 1803. Jacob Young, his brother, and Abraham and Simeon Lyon came in the Spring of the following year. Later in the same year Eliphalet and John Lewis and James Bryant joined the settlers. Since these pioneers were all from New Jersey the settlement became known as the "Jersey Settlement." B The Wayne Baptist Church was organized by the Lewises in 18 10. William, John and Eliphalet Lewis, together with a revolutionary soldier, by the name of Ackerman, were the first members. The first church was built in 1 81 5. It was used until 1837 when a new church was erected. The Salem M.E. Church was organized in 1830. "Original members were: Daniel Lyon, Daniel Beers, Henry Wider, James Beebe and their wives, Mrs. JefTers, Aaron Jackson and Mr. John Young." Knox County was created from Fairfield in 1808; Fairfield was created from Franklin in 1800; and Franklin from Ross in 1803. Ross, the great grandfather of Knox County, was carved from the old Northwest Territory in 1798, five years before the State of Ohio was created. The earliest U. S. Census of Knox County that has been preserved is that of 1830, alas! The Census of 1820 is the earliest for any section of Ohio. The Census of Rich- land County, 1820, places Noah Young (Rec. 28) in Washington Town- ship, Jacob Young (Rec. 15) in Orange, Aaron (Rec. 18) and John Young (Rec. 17) in Troy Township. A John Halderman, possibly John Halter- man, husband of Hannah Young (Rec. 19), with a phonetic spelling, is in Troy Township. [ xvii ] John Young and the Generations of Morgan Young FIRST GENERATION i JOHN YOUNG John Young is supposed to have been born in Scotland. See Record 2. He probably was the eldest of the eight brothers and sisters whom he men- tioned by name in his will. His parents are unknown. What little that is known about John comes from his will and from other official and public records. From his will we know that he was a weaver by trade who be- came a farmer in Mendham (earlier Roxiticus) and Roxbury townships, Morris County, N. J. An earlier residence has not been found. The earliest records about the family are in the Quaker archives of the Kennett (Newark) Monthly Meeting which was held at Kennett Square, Chester County, Pa. In these archives, preserved at the Friends Headquarters in Philadelphia, Pa., the marriages of Anny Young, in 1742, to John Clark, and of Hercules Young, Feb. 17 1745, to Sarah Philips, are recorded. It is also recorded that Hercules and Sarah were transferred, in 1749, to the Woodbridge (N. J.) Meeting. The record of the marriage of Mary, 9th month, 6th day, 1746, to Adam Miller stands in the Woodbridge records. The Mendham Meeting was established as a branch of the Woodbridge Meeting in 1758. Two of the witnesses to the Deed by which Robert Schooley transferred land to the Mendham Meeting were William Schooley and Sarah Young. ( ? Wife of Hercules Young) The earliest record about John is in the "Alexander (Lord Stirling) Papers," now in possession of the N. Y. Historical Society. Here is shown that a survey of 94.56 acres of land on the Rockaway river, between the two great mountains, near Green Swamps, was made, Nov. 7 1750, by Ebenezer Byram for John Young, and the results sent to James Alexander, Surveyor General, at Perth Amboy, N. J. In the "land records of the Board of Proprietors of East Jersey," John Young is listed as having pur- chased, Nov. 10 1750, 91.37 acres on the Rockaway river between the two great mountains (Bk. 3, p. 98). This land is described in a report of an inspection to the Proprietors of East Jersey as follows: "On Friday, Oct. 22 1772 (20 years after John's purchase), we set out from Morristown to view the land in the valley (Berkshire), and passed through the land sold to Mr. Faisby which we viewed on both sides of the road to Mt. Hope. From thence we proceded to Middle Forge, and passed the mountain. We then proceded to Kenny's Forge, passing John Young's house, and went on foot and viewed John Young's 91 acre tract, along the south of Green Moun- tains. This tract takes in much valuable timber, by which the mountain is made useless to anybody else. Had these locations been carried up the mountain, as they ought to have been, the general interest would not suffer, OUR YOUNG FAMILY as it must, and has, by these irregular surveys" (Hist, of Morris Co., N. J., P. 333, W. W. Munsel, N. Y., 1882). The records at Perth Amboy (Bk. S -3, p. 241) show that, in April 1752, John added to his first purchase "3.20 acres on the westerly side of the Rockaway river," and that, March 26 1763, he bought an additional "127.23 acres on a branch of the Rockaway river from Robert H. Morris." Morgan and Thomas Young, brothers of John, also bought at this period on the Rockaway. John's property is further described in two advertisements which he had printed about a year before he made his will and before he sold the land. The same advertisement appeared in the N. Y. Journal and Advertiser, March 18 1773, and in the N. Y. Gazette and Weekly Mercury, March 22 1773: "To be sold at public vendue, on Wednesday, the 2 1 st day of April next, the well known excellent farm of John Young, situate in Buckshear- Valley (Berkshire), adjoining the Green Pond Meadow, in the township of Roxbury, in the county of Morris, on which farm is a convenient small dwelling, a good barn, and contains about 240 acres of choice arable meadow, timber, and pasture land, with a beautiful small river of water running through the said plantation, within a few rods of the house; it is very advantageously situated for the raising of cattle of all kinds, from the benefit of a most extensive range of unimproved lands adjoining it, and the very best market may be had at the door, for all kinds of produce, from its contiguity to the iron works; the payments will be made easy to the purchaser, as upon proper security being given, little or none of the money will be wanted; and an indisputable title will be given by John Young, the present owner, of whom for further particulars enquire, or of Samuel Tut- hill, or William D. Hart, Esquires, at Morristown." For the sale of the property and the death of John, see "Notes on the Will of John Young." John was, from all evidence, a bachelor, and was buried in the yard of the Meeting House to which he left a legacy. 2 MORGAN YOUNG Morgan Young was the progenitor in America of that branch of our Young family with which this compilation is mainly concerned. He "ar- rived in America, Oct. 11 1722, at the age of nine years, from the High- lands of Scotland," says the "Generations of Daniel Beers Young" without noting the source of information. The "Generations of Daniel Beers Young" was compiled by Jacob Clark Young and Tryphena Johnson from family records found in Ohio and New Jersey. It was completed about 1 890 and widely distributed amongst the descendants of Daniel in typewritten form. This record says nothing about the parents of Morgan or about any of his FIRST GENERATION fellow voyagers. Morgan's year of birth, fixed in the above quotation as 1 7 13, is approximately confirmed by an inscription which tops a list of three generations on a family monument in the cemetery at Newton, N. J. This notation reads: "Morgan Young, Died Nov. 20 1792, Aged 75 years. Elizabeth Mills, His wife, Died Sept. 24 1 791, Aged 71 years." This inscription except for the family name of Elizabeth came from the family records of William, eldest child of Morgan and Elizabeth, and it was pub- lished, June 23 191 7, by William I. Young, in the Newark (N. J.) Evening News. Morgan probably was buried in the cemetery adjoining the Mend- ham (Randolph) Quaker Meeting House on the outskirts of Dover, N. J. It was to this Meeting House that John, brother of Morgan, left a legacy. Our progenitor's name which is often spelled Morgin in the early tax lists of Mendham and other official documents suggests that his mother was a Morgan and a descendant of the Clan Morgan, one of the most ancient clans of Scotland. Morgan Young was a Quaker. When the will of Thomas Young, brother of Morgan, was proved in 1769, the usual wording of the oath was effaced because Morgan and his fellow witness "being two of the people called Quakers did severally declare and affirm" etc. (Office of the Seer, of State, Trenton, N. J.). Hugh D. Vail says that "several members of the Mendham Quaker Meeting came from Craigforth, Aberdeen County, Scotland." (N. Y. Gen. & Biog. Record, Vol. 7, p. 176). Records on the parentage of Morgan may be found in Aberdeen when the World War is ended. Morgan Young perhaps was related to his namesake, Morgan Young, who belonged to the Philadelphia Quaker Meeting and whose wife, Mary, bore him a daughter, Mary, Dec. 25 1 690, (W. H. Hinshaw, Encyclopedia of American Quaker Gen.," Vol. 2, p. 440). The probability of a rela- tionship is indicated by the fact that the earliest records of our family are found near Philadelphia in the files of the Kennett Square (Chester County, Pa.) Meeting of Friends. Here are recorded the marriages of Anne and Hercules Young, sister and brother of our Morgan. The Morgan Young who was settled near Philadelphia in 1690 probably arrived in America with the earliest pioneering Quakers who sailed up the Delaware river and settled first at Upland (now Chester, Pa.) and at Salem and Burlington, N. J., and he was followed to the same vicinity by our family of eight brothers and sisters. This assumption does not seem unreasonable. The earliest official date relating to Morgan locates him in 1 750, in Mendham Township, Morris County, N. J. Mendham was created from Roxbury Township in 1749 and in that year began to keep records. Under the heading of "Registration of Earmarks," one name appears in 1749, OUR YOUNG FAMILY Eliphalet Lewis (Rec. 14), and the first name in 1750 is that of "Morgin" Young. The next official date referring to Morgan is May 10 1754. By a Deed dated Aug. 6 1784, recorded Jan. 20 1786, at Morristown, N. J., Morgan Young, of Mendham, sold to John Young, of Hanover Township, 149 acres of land that he bought, May 10 1754, from John Kirkbride, of the Falls, County Bucks, Province of Pennsylvania. A note appended to the Deed designates Morgan and John as blacksmiths. (Book A, p. 106). A recording of the purchase in 1754 has not been found. John was the eldest son of Morgan. Morgan's name disappears from the Mendham tax list in 1786. (State Library, Trenton, N. J.) Morgan and his son John were blacksmith-farmers. Blacksmithing in colonial N. J. was a widely practiced craft because in the hills of Morris County were locked vast quantities of rich iron ore. Mining this ore and welding the iron was big business. It was so big that it made this region the most industrial sector of the country. Even today, the mines are being worked for the benefit of the war program. The blacksmith of colonial days was a smith who worked in black metal and made various utensils, parts of machines, guns etc. Nathaniel Young, grandson of Morgan, and first white settler north of Mt. Vernon, in what is today Knox County, Ohio, was also a blacksmith-farmer. His specialty was axes. To the Indians, he became the "Axe-man." (A. B. Norton, "Hist, of Knox County, O. 1 779-1 862). The rapid prosperity of the Quaker colony in N. J. is ac- counted for by the fact that a majority of the Quakers were Master crafts- men. These farmers used their farms as a source of food supply but they expected their craft to be the chief source of money revenue. The following quotation from two New York City newspapers, dated Aug. 28 1778, describe Morgan's land, and suggest that he may have been in the hotel business: (See Record #3) "To be sold, by public vendue, in three months from date, or at private sale any time before, 150 acres of good land, situate in Mendham, Morris County, whereon the subscriber now lives, where a public house has been kept, with two good frame houses and kitchens adjoining the same, and good cellars under both, with two good frame barns, three very good orchards, about 30 acres of good meadow, and more may easily be made. The above premises is well watered and timbered. It being so well known, there needs no particularizing. Conditions will be made known and due attendance will be given by me. Signed: Morgan Young." (N. J. Archives, Newspaper Extracts, Vol. 2, 1779, p. 430). See Record #319. Morgan Young served his country in the Revolutionary war as a Wagon- master. (Stryker, "Jerseymen in the Revolution," p. 855). The following record in the office of the Adjutant General, Trenton, N. J. may refer to SECOND GENERATION our progenitor or to his nephew, Morgan, son of Robert Young: (Morgan, jr. and Morgan, son of Thomas Young received pensions as privates) "Young, Morgan. Sergeant. Received Certificate #134 and #902, dated May 3 1784, for 3 Pounds, 2 Shillings and 8 Pence depreciation of his Continental pay for services as Sergeant in the Morris County Militia." Morgan married, May 25 1 741 , Elizabeth Mills of Long Island, N. Y. The Mills family settled at Southold, L. I. in 1660. Timothy and Samuel, sons of Samuel Mills of Long Island, moved to Morris County, N. J. in 1740, and a daughter of Samuel married Isaac Drake, Jan. 27 1740. Eliza- beth Mills may have been another daughter of Samuel. She was born in 1720. The children of Morgan and Elizabeth, all born in Morris County, N. J., were: (Family records of William, son of Morgan) 3. i. William, b. March 16 1742 4 5 , 6 7 8 9 ii. Charity, b. Sept. 24 1744 iii. Anne, b. Sept. 25 1747 iv. John, b. Nov. 30 1750 v. James, b.

J., died, July 21 1 8 19, aged 77 years. He left vital statistics of the family which include the marriage and death dates of his parents, and the names and birth dates of his brothers and sisters but he failed to locate any of the events. The records of William were published in the genealogical column of the Newark, N. J. Evening News, #5742, June 23 191 7. The graves of William and his wife have not been found. Their birth and death dates appear on the family monument at Newton, N. J. but there are no headstones for them as there are for other members of the family who are known to be buried here. A voucher found amongst the papers of William showed that he paid a "Congress tax," Dec. 20 1775, in the township of Mendham, Morris County, N. J. The County records reveal that he, with Thomas Carrel and Andrew Briant, witnessed the will of Jonathan Oliver, in 1777, and his name follows that of his father on the Ratables for Mendham for 1778, (State Lib., Trenton, N. J.). On the tax list for 1779 he has 'Esquire' 8 OUR YOUN G FAMILY after his name. William perhaps kept the public house of which his father spoke when he advertised his property as for sale. (Record #2). This seems indicated by the following advertisement dated at Woodbridge, N. J., April 8 1778: "Any person finding a pocket-book and giving information to James Fitz-Randolph, inn-keeper at Short Hills, or to Edward Fitz-Randolph in Woodbridge, or to William Young, inn-keeper near Succasunny Plain, so that the owner can have it again, shall be entitled to twenty dollars reward by me." Signed: Robert Miller. William Young moved his family, about 1790, to Wantage Township, Sussex County, N. J. where he bought a farm adjoining that of Jacob DeWitt. (Record #4). In 1796 William was Executor of the estate of Wm. Jones, sr. whose will was witnessed by Jacob DeWitt and Elizabeth Crane, in Wantage. The inventory was made by William Mitchell. Docu- ments such as this are cited not merely to locate our subject but also because they contain the names of families allied by marriage to the Youngs, and referred to elsewhere in the records. A voucher in the hands of the compiler shows that William was a cooper-farmer and that he was practicing his trade in Wantage Township, Feb. 16 18 14. The County records at Newton, N. J. indicate that he and his wife Miriam sold their Wantage farm, May 19 1815. James and Morgan Young, sons of Morgan, sr. and Thomas respec- tively, of Mendham, N. J., were granted pensions for services as privates during the Revolution. Each in his pension application stated that he had served under a Captain William Young. The military files, acknowledged to be incomplete, show no record of a Captain Wm. Young. However, the files at Trenton, N. J. show an Ensign Wm. Young, who was promoted to be Lieutenant, and it is further stated that Lt. Wm. Young commanded, part time, Capt. Ezekiel Crane's Company. This temporary captain doubt- less was the officer to whom James and Morgan referred, and he may have been the subject of this record. This Lt. Wm. Young was appointed, Oct. 10 1777, for recruiting for the Continental Line, to rendezvous at Morristown, by a Committee of the Council and Assembly. William Young married, Feb. 2 1764, Miriam (Drake) Throckmorton, (died, Nov. 24 1824, aged 89 yrs. 4 mos.), widow of Thomas Throck- morton, sr. of Roxbury, N. J. (Will proved 3 May 1763). Miriam was a sister of Jacob and Abraham Drake who married, respectively, Charity and Anne Young, sisters of William. She was also a sister of Catherine Drake Leforge. (Catherine's will, Dec. 4 1790). Hercules Young, uncle of our subject, helped make the inventory of the estate of Thos. Throckmorton, son of Job and Frances (? Stout) Throckmorton, of Shrewsbury, N.

The inscription on her gravestone reads: "To the Memory of Mrs. Charity Young, Relict of Jacob Drake, Esq., Who departed this life, 26 Oct. 1776, Age 32 years." Charity married Col.

Woodruff, Jacob B., George King, Silas, Peter Dj., and Eliza Drake. They lived at Drakeville, now Ledgewood, N. J. Jacob and Charity Young had one child, Rachel, who md., Oct. io 1782, Samuel Howell (d. Dec. 8 1829), son of Charles whose will, proved Aug. 9 1759, at Morristown, N.

The children of Samuel and Rachel Howell are listed by T. F. Chambers in his "Early Germans and Other Early Settlers in New Jersey," p. 425. Mr. Chambers says that Abigail Young, unidentified, bought the Drake mill property at Drakeville in 18 19. 5 ANNE YOUNG The inscription on her gravestone in the Presbyterian Churchyard at Succasunna, N. J. reads: "In memory of Anne, wife of Abraham Drake deceased, who departed this life, July 18 1809, Age 62 years. 9 mo. 18 io OUR YOUNG FAMILY days." Anne was born Sept. 25 1747. (Record #3). Anne married, March 17 1763, Abraham 5 Drake (b. March 21 1730, Sarah Rude Bible, d. Feb. 7 1806) son of Abraham. 4 The children of Abraham and Anne, named in the former's will, were: Wm. Y.

Nov. 27 1843, age 74 years; and Catherine Drake. 6 JOHN YOUNG was born, Nov. 30, 1750 (Record #3), the year when his father registered his "Earmarks" in the one year old Mendham ^Township, Morris County, N. J. He was a nephew and legatee of John Young, Record #1, and may have been named for him. John died, Feb. 16 1826, and was buried in Wayne Township Cemetery, Knox County, Ohio (on Highway #95, near Fredericktown) where his wife Hannah Mitchell joined him two years later. An account of the death of John was told the writer in 1942 at Albert Lee, Minn, by Mrs. Margaret Young (Geo. A.) King. She said, "My father Bonar Young who was born near Fredericktown, O. told me that when he was a young boy his father, Ebenezer Pierson Young, bought a farm in what is now Troy Township (7th Range), Richland County, O. From their farm they used to haul produce to Lake Erie (Sandusky) to exchange it for supplies needed at home. One day when David had gone to the lake, his grandparents, John and Hannah Young, arrived at the farm for a few hours visit with their son and family. Late afternoon came and the grand- parents were about to start back home in their buggy when David drove into the yard. "Ellzy" persuaded his parents to stay for supper and hear the news from Sandusky. Sarah (wife of Ellzy) prepared the meal and they sat down to eat. After the Blessing had been asked, John took up his cup of coffee and the cup fell from his hand, and he started to fall to the floor but Ellzy caught him. He had suffered a stroke, and he died without re- gaining consciousness." "John," Mrs. King continued, "was very popular with the Indians. He used to make a variety of tools for them. When it came time to move the Sandusky Indians to Indiana, the Indians who were very suspicious about the moving, said that they would go provided John Young went with them. John went and remained with them for about two years." Little is known of John's life in New Jersey. It has been shown under Morgan's record (#3) that John bought his father's Mendham farm in 1784, and in the Deed gave his residence as in Hanover township. John sold his Hanover land April 1 1788. A witness to the Deed was Wm. SECOND GENERATION n Mitchell, brother of John's wife. John and his wife Hanah, together with his son Nathaniel M. Young and his wife Mary, sold, March 17 1798, the Mendham property that John had bought from his father (Bk. F, p. 246, Morristown, N. J.). It was not long after this that John moved his family to Fallowfield township, Washington County, Pa. and settled near his brother Morgan and near his wife's mother, Abigail (Harris) Mitchell who with her brothers had come to Washington County in 1787 (Census 1790). John and his son Nathaniel were involved in 1794 in an unhappy land dispute the result of which has not been found. There was recorded Dec. 30 1 8 10, in the Deed records, at Mt. Vernon, O., the following "Agreement" between John Young, of Mendham, N. J., and Nathaniel Mitchell Young, of the same place, which bound them to Nathaniel Shotwell for 70 Pounds Sterling with which sum they wish to sue James Young, jr. to recover land which John Young claims to own and on which James is living. The witnesses to the Agreement were Elizabeth (Mitchell) Kent, sister of John's wife, and Benjamin Lyon (Record 9). The relationship between Benjamin and Asher Lyon who married Jean Young has not been found. John Kent, father of John, husband of Elizabeth Mitchell, moved from Ohio to White- side County, 111. in 1839 (Bents, Hist. Whiteside Co., 111.). John Young, jr., Aaron Jackson, James Beebe and wife, Daniel Lyon and wife, Daniel Beers and wife were original members of the Salem M.E. Church that was organized in the Jersey Settlement in 1830. John Young served as a private and a corporal in the Revolution under Capt. Josiah Hall of the Eastern N. J. Battalion, Morris County Militia (J. P. Crayon's, Rockaway Records). John's name appears in the classing of companies, May 1788, in the 14th class, and is again on the list of those who served in Jan. 1 78 1 , against the revolt of the Penn Line Troops (Adju- tant General's Office, Trenton, N. J.). John married, Nov. 30 1768, in Morris County, N. J., Hannah Mitchell, b. Aug. 26 1753, d. Sept. 21 1828, near Fredericktown, O. and was buried in Wayne Township cemetery. Hannah was a daughter of Nathaniel and Abigail (Harris) Mitchell. Nathaniel Mitchell (1 728-1 773) was a son of Jacob and Hannah Halstead Mitchell, and a grandson of James and Mary Mitchell who came to America from Scotland about 1683. Hannah Hal- stead was a daughter of Timothy and Abigail, and a granddaughter of Timothy and Hannah (Williams) Halstead. William Mitchell (d. Aug. 12 1848, age 83, buried at Mt. Vernon, O.), brother of Hannah, married, Nov. 4 1789, Phebe Southard (d. Feb. 24 1861, age 91). Three chil- dren of William and Phebe Southard Mitchell, Mary, Naomi and Silas, married, respectively, Aaron, James L., and Elizabeth Young, grandchildren 12 OUR YOUNG FAMILY of our subject.

(Rec. 3). James and his brother William were two of Morgan's children who were not legatees of their uncle (Rec. 1). James gave his father and Andrew Bryant (Phis father-in-law, record 8) a mort- gage, April 24 1786, on 85 acres of land (County records, Morristown, N. J.). This was the year that Morgan Young sold his farm to his son John and this may be the land that was in dispute in 1794, two years after the death of Morgan (Rec. 6). No other information about James has been verified. There were at least three with the name of James Young in Mendham when our James was living there. A James Young, jr. whose name is on the Tax List of Mendham for 1778 (State Lib., Trenton, N. J.) between the names of William and Morgan Young, jr. perhaps was the son of Robert Young, brother of Morgan, sr. A not infrequent use of the term 'junior* was to distinguish two persons of the same name living near each other. This James Young, jr. registered his 'earmarks' at Mendham in 1759- A James Young who perhaps was the son of Morgan applied from Ran- dolph township, Morris Co. N. J. May 21 1833, for a pension for service during the Revolution, giving his age as 79 years. This fixes his birth in the year that James, son of Morgan was born, and locates him in 1833 where he is the sole James Young on record. (Gen'l. Accounting Office, Washington, Dl C, Certificate #9984, N. J. Agency). No descendant of James has been found to verify our guess. In his pension papers, James said that he had served under a Capt. Robert Young (unidentified in the military files) and also that he was living near a Robert Young with whom he had served but who was not Capt. Robert Young. There were 3 Robert Youngs in our Young family: Robert, sr., and his son Robert, jr., and SECOND GENERATION 13 Robert, son of Morgan. To which of the two Roberts James referred can- not be decided. Capt. Robert Young may have been his cousin, son of Robert, sr. James Young was granted his pension. He died, a widower, June 30 1836, in Randolph township, Morris Co., N. J. and the final pension pay- ment was made on behalf of his children Nov. 11 1842. The first three of his children in the list that follows died before March 22 1842: — Charity Lanning, Daniel Young, Lois Cowin, Eunice, Abraham, Silvamer, Ann Young, Rachel Lewis and Elizabeth Chapman, the latter living "in the lake district" (Pension papers, Nat'l. Archives, Washington, D. C). A James Young, unidentified, who may have been a member of our Young family, applied for a pension for service in a N. J. Company as a Teamster from Lackawanock township, Mercer Co., Pa., Sept. I 1832, stating that he was 72 years old. He died, Aug. 6 1841, leaving a widow, Prudence Young, who said that the family had moved in 1798 from Wash- ington Co., Pa. to Mercer Co. (Nat'l. Archives, Washington, D. C). The U. S. Census for 1800 shows this James, his wife and six children, in Wash- ington Co. The Census also lists Morgan Young and other members of our family in the same county. 8 ROBERT YOUNG was, like his father and brother John, a blacksmith-farmer and a Quaker. He was born, Feb. 13 1756, and died, Jan. 29 1840, in Randolph Town- ship, Morris County, N. J. (Record #3; Pension papers, Nat'l. Archives, Washington, D. C). He left a widow Sarah Young to whom the arrears of his pension were paid, Oct. 22 1840, through her attorney, Lewis Condit. John Young, record #1, identifies him as a son of Morgan and Elizabeth Young, and makes him a legatee. Robert is identified in the military files at Trenton, N. J. by this notation: "Born 1756. Private in Morris County Militia under Capt. Robert Young (unidentified) ; also served in the 1st Regiment, Somerset County Militia Monthly Tours from 1776 until the end of the war. Resident of Mendham. Resided in Randolph Township, Morris County, July 30 1832. A son of Morgan." Robert applied for a pension for services during the Revolution, March 29 1829, and said that his wife was 63 years old and infirm, that his daugh- ter, Malinda, was single, 1 8 years of age, and was keeping house for his wife and himself; he was a cripple due to a bayonet wound in his thigh received at the Battle of Stony Point; that he had not owned land since 1 8 14 and was living on a lot of 16 acres of mountain land belonging to his son Elias Briant Young. The tax list for Mendham for 1805 shows Robert holding 14 OUR YOUNG FAMILY 1 6 acres of land (State Lib., Trenton, N. J.), and the County Records reveal that Robert and Sarah Young sold, Apr. 20 1806, their land in Randolph to Elias and Jacob Briant. In his pension papers, Robert enu- merated his war services thus: "enlisted in the Fall of 1775 at Succasunna, for one year, in the Company of Capt. Mitchell, 1st N. J. Regiment, and after service in N. Y. State was stationed in 1776 at Flatbush, L. L, was in the Mud Rounds through N. J. to Elizabethtown; re-enlisted for a second year taking the place of Robert Logan in Capt. Patterson's Company, 3rd N. J. Regiment, Col. Dayton, Continental Establishment; discharged at Valley Forge by General Washington, 1779; was in the battles of Long Island, White Plains, Trenton, Princeton, Germantown, Brandywine and Monmouth; assisted in carrying off the field General Lafayette at Brandy- wine; after the regular service, did Monthly Tours under Capt. Freyling- hausen; before the war was in the Militia under Capt. Bigelow and Col. Munson." Robert also stated that their family had consisted of 1 1 sons and 5 daughters, of whom 4 sons and 2 daughters were dead in 1829. The names of these children with their birth dates and that of their mother are given here through the generosity of Mrs. Mattie Briant Parsons (Eugene J.) Cooper, of Dover, N. J., who has also supplied from her family Bible and records valuable information about our allied Parsons and Dalrymple families. Robert Young married Sarah Briant, b.

March 27 18 10 The Bryant and Young Families The descendants of Pieter Corneliss Breyandt( Briant, Bryant) who came to America from Holland in 1690 and of Morgan Young were often allied by marriage or by business in the early days of New Jersey and Ohio. The marriage of Robert Young and Sarah Bryant probably was the first of these alliances. Andrew (1 737-1 821) and Rachel (Meeker) Briant ( 1 744-1 829), parents of Sarah, moved in 1780 from Springfield, N. J. to Randolph Town- ship, Morris County, N. J. where Morgan Young and family were settled. Robert Young and Sarah Bryant met, married, and their first child Samuel was born in 1785. The names of 15 of their 16 children were supplied from the records of Mrs. Cooper through her daughter, Miss Caroline Par- sons Cooper, of Dover, N. J. Miss Cooper is a great grandchild of Robert ( 1 805-1 864) and Esther Bruen (Young) Parsons and a great 2 grandchild of John (176 2- 1835, brother of Sarah of this record) Bryant who married Mary Ayres. The records at Morristown, N. J. show that Andrew Briant and Mor- gan Young, the two fathers-in-law, in 1786, took together a mortgage from James, son of Morgan. Did James Young (Record 7) marry a daugh- ter of Andrew Briant, as did his brother Robert? Simeon (171 0-17 84) and Hannah (Searing) Briant (171 8- 17 85), great 3 grandparents of Miss Lena Briant (b. i860) of New York City, and grandparents of our Sarah, had two sons, Elias and Jacob who, in 1803 and again in 1806, purchased land in Randolph, Morris County, N. J. from Robert and Sarah Bryant with Samuel and Simeon Bryant as witnesses to the Deeds. Simeon and Hannah also had a son James who after service in the Revolution moved his family to western Pennsylvania. This James perhaps was the father of James (b. 1754) who married Anna Lewis (177 4- 1828) whose gravestone in Wayne Cemetery, Fredericktown, O. reads: "Anna, Consort of James Bryant, Died 1828." Anna, daughter of James (1747- 1 819) and Abigail Douglass Lewis (1747-1830), and granddaughter of Edward (from Wales about 171 7, "Lewisiana," Vol. 3, p. 184, N. Y. Pub. Lib.) and Sarah Morris (daughter of Daniel, son of Stephen) was a sister of Mary Lewis who married Nathaniel Mitchell Young. N. M. Young was son-in-law of James Lewis and brother-in-law of James Bryant. Two of the children of James and Anna Bryant were William H. £6 OUR YOUNG FAMILY ( 1 795-1 877) who witnessed the will of N. M. Young in 1828, and Samuel, b. 1799. William H. Bryant md. 1st. Elizabeth Norton. They had three children all of whom moved to Illinois; Anna, b. 18 19; James, b. 182 1; and William, b. 1830. Wm. H. Bryant married 2nd. Maria McGinis (1810-1891) and is buried beside her in Wayne Cemetery, Fredericktown, O. They had three children: David M., b. 1832; Jacob Mitchell b. 1837, and Rebecca Bryant, b. 1839. David M. Bryant married, 1st. Abigail Struble, and 2nd. Abigail Foote. William Preston Bryant (1 874-1937), son of Jacob M., married Ada Taylor (b. 1874), now living in Frederick- town, O. Their son William Paul Bryant and his family are living on the old homestead established in 1804 near Fredericktown. Abraham Bryant also settled near Fredericktown, O. He bought Nov. 25 1805, a lot in the 17th Range, 7th Township and 2nd Quarter from Nathaniel M. Young (Lancaster, O. records, Bk. F. p. 327). David Bryant, wife Catherine Wooley (Newark Evening News, Jan. 31 1903) was in Washington County, Pa. in 1790 (Census report). He or his son David bought land near Fredericktown, O. from William and Jacob Mitchell, brothers of Hannah, wife of John Young, also members of this Jersey Settlement in Ohio. Samuel Bryant (b. 1790), son of David, sr. married in Indiana for his third wife a widow, Sally (Davis) Young, first husband unidentified. Samuel spent his last years in Ohio with his step-son John Young. A daughter of Samuel and his second wife, Joanna Bryant married Edward R. Beebe whose relationship to John Beebe, son-in-law of N. M. Young (record 14) has not been established. Ethlinda Bryant md., March 22 1821, Edward Young (Chillicothe, O. records). Edward perhaps was the son of Edward Young whose marriage to Rachel Miller in 1803 is recorded at Lancaster, O. (Bk. A. 154). Ed- ward and Ethlon sold to their son Wilson a piece of land, Feb. 19 1957, with A. H. Bryant as witness. Edward bought land, July 19 1836, from Nancy Briant, and from Andrew Lemmons (? Timmons) and Jane Briant Lemmons, heirs of John Briant ( Chillicothe, records). Stephen C. Bryant in 1862 witnessed the will of Silas Young (Morris- town, N. J. records). 9 MORGAN YOUNG, JR. was one of four relatives with the same name who lived near each other in Morris County, N. J. in 1774 when John Young (Rec. #1) wrote his will. John Young distinguishes our subject in these words: "to John, Robert and Morgan Young, sons of Morgan," and makes him one of his legatees. In SECOND GENERATION 17 the will, the mother of Morgan, jr. is spoken of as "Elizabeth, the wife of Morgan." Morgan Young, jr. was born, Jan. 3, 1762, in Mendham (now Ran- dolph) Township, Morris County, N. J. (Rec. 3). In his application for a pension for services during the Revolution, Morgan confirmed the year of his birth, 1762, as given by his brother William, and added the place of birth. He also said that he re-enlisted for service in 1778 "when about 16 years of age." Mrs. Lydia (Wade) Young (1 805-1 897), wife of Henry, son of Morgan, jr., in 1892, in a letter to her nephew Delevan Young, of Lagrange, Ind., speaking of the family wrote that Morgan was born, Jan. 4 1762, that he was, at first, during the war a water-boy for General Wash- ington and his officers when but 14 years old, and that when winter came Morgan was sent home because of his scanty clothing, and that upon his arrival home, his mother took cloth from the loom, made him clothes and sent him back to the army. (Rec. #34). Morgan died in the home of his son Losey (Rec. 35), on Pretty Prairie, Lagrange, Ind. and was buried in Pretty Prairie cemetery where memorial stones with the following inscirp- tions mark the graves of his wife and himself: MORGAN YOUNG JANE Died Wife of Morgan Young Jan. 21 1852 Died In his 97th year Nov. 25 1847 A Revolutioneer In her 90th year Formerly of New Jersey "Peace be unto us" Morgan's age on the gravestone is wrong. His own word in his pension application, dated at Norwalk, O., Feb. 27 1832, shows this. (Nat'l. Archives, Washington, D. C). That Morgan Young of Lagrange, Ind. was Morgan, jr. was proven to the compiler by Mrs. Diantha (Miller) Lilly (185 7-1 943) in her home at Sturgis, Mich, in 1941. Mrs. Lilly was the daughter of Daniel Miller who was raised in that part of Adams County, O. that is now Highland County, and who married Elizabeth Young (1827- 1874), daughter of Losey, in whose home Morgan died. The Millers, like the Youngs, came from N. J. to Ohio where they were neighbors. A rela- tionship between Daniel Miller and Adam Miller who married Mary Young, sister of Morgan, sr. has not been established. The family records of Mrs. Lilly also showed that her grandfather Losey Young was a cousin of Simeon (Rec. #24), son of Robert Young (Rec. #8). Mrs. Lilly gave the writer a table scraf that was made by Jane Young from flax that had been grown on their farm on Pretty Prairie. i8 OUR YOUNG FAMILY PRINCIPAL LAND SUBDIVISIONS IMPOSED ON PRESENT MAP OF OHIO THE MICHIGAN S URVEY ■». •»fciN» LUCAS / ol M't WILLIAMS I FULT&M I / ^ft'Q-P.r^rS HENRY I NapotrJfl y c, I FIANCt | r- V aHK—'kJ F PUTNAM I HAN( P«uU,n} c?

J. T. Ferguson, Auditor of the State of Ohio. SECOND GENERATION 19 Morgan first appears in a public document on the Tax List for Mend- ham, Morris County, N. J., in 1778. (State Lib., Trenton, N. J.) The names Morgan, William, James, jr., and Morgan jr. (the last two without acreage) appear together and in this order which may indicate that they were of one household and that the last three were sons of Morgan. James was perhaps called "jr." to distinguish him from his neighbor and cousin James, son of Robert Young. See Record 7. The next official appearance of Morgan is in the county records at Morristown, N. J. On Aug. 29 1788, James and Sarah Young sold to Stephen Jackson land on the Rocka- way river that was conveyed to James, Oct. 13 1785, by Morgan Young, jr., with Johnathan Young, son of James, as a witness to the sale. Rec. 314. Morgan moved his family from New Jersey to Fallowfield Township, Washington County, Pa. between the birth of his son Noah in 1788 and the taking of the first U. S. Census in 1790. This census places his family in Washington County, and shows it to have consisted of father, mother, one son and two daughters. In his pension application Morgan said that "several years after the war, I moved to Red Stone Old Fort (now Browns- ville), Pa. where I lived about 18 years." His name with the title Ensign appears on a general return of an election of officers of the militia for the First Washington Brigade, Dec. 5 1793. (Penn. Archives, 6th series, Vol. 4, page 326). Morgan was not the first of our Youngs and their allied families to reach Fallowfield in Washington County, Pa. The records of Hercules, Silas and John (was he the founder of Youngstown, O.?) Young will show that they were there in 1784 (P.R.P. Vol. 23, State Lib., Harris- burg, Pa.). Mrs. Abigail Harris (Nathaniel) Mitchell, mother-in-law of John Young, Rec. #6, reached Washington County, Pa. in 1787. The 1790 Census also lists some of the children of Margaret Young (Daniel) Carrel, sister of Morgan, in Washington County, Pa. (Rec. 319) Morgan was living in Washington County, Pa. in 1800 (U. S. Census) and his family consisted of his wife, two boys and one girl under ten, and one boy and two girls between ten and sixteen years old. He moved his family to near West Union, Ohio about 1807. In a "List of Resident- Proprietors of Adams County, O. in 18 10" (State Lib., Columbus, O.), Morgan is shown as owning and living on 150 of the 1100 acres of land originally granted to Nathaniel Massie who was the first to survey this part of the Northwest Territory, which became in 1784 the Virginia Military Lands. Adams County was created from this military land in 1797 and then consisted of what are now 8 counties and parts of 12 others. The Deed by which Morgan purchased this land was not recorded at West Union, O. until Sept. 27 18 14 (Bk. 8, Deed 257). It reads: "Henry Spears and Rebecca, his wife, of Fallowfield Township, Washington County, 20 OUR YOUNG FAMILY Ohio County Boundaries 1797 1808 SECOND GENERATION 2^ Pa., sell 150 acres of land on Brush Creek, Adams County, O., to Morgan Young, of Green Township, Adams County, O., from land that was pat- ented from Washington, D. C. Witnesses: Thos. Carron (? Carroll) and James Young." See Rec. 7. Morgan remained on his Brush Creek prop- erty until about 1827. Unclaimed letters for Morgan, Henry and Uriah Young were advertised, Jan. 1st and 28th 1828, in the "Village Register" of West Union, O., which seems to indicate that the family moved to northern Ohio before the farm was sold, Aug. 6 1829, to Hosea Moore. Mitchell Morrison Young (1 854-1 942) of near West Union, Ohio, told the compiler in 1941 that he was living on Morgan Young's land and drinking water from a well that was dug by Morgan's sons. He also said that the farm had not been out of the name of a Young except for the brief period that Hosea Moore owned it. Morgan bought, Oct. 29 1829, from Daniel A. Green, a farm in Lyme Township, Huron County, O., near where his son Noah had been living for some years. He did not remain long in Huron County. He sold his land there, Jan. 22 1 831, in equal parts, to his sons Noah and Henry, each paying $160.00 for his share (Deed Bk. 6, p. 472, Norwalk, O.). While living in Lyme Township Morgan applied for his pension. About 1835 he and his wife moved to near Lagrange, Ind. to be near their youngest child, Losey. In order to receive the arrears of his pension in Indiana, Morgan certified, Sept. 30 1 85 1, that he had been living for 16 years in Greenfield Township, Lagrange County, Ind. and that previously he had lived in Sandusky (earlier Huron) County, O. (Gen'l. Acct. Office, Washington, Dl C.) Morgan's service during the Revolution introduces again the mysterious Capt. Robert Young who, at times, commanded for Capt. Crane. Morgan lists his services as: "One Monthly Tour in 1776 with the N. J. Troops in Capt. Ezekiel Crane's Company, Col. Stark's Regiment; nine months in Capt. Crane's and Capt. Robt. Young's Companies; three months in guarding prisoners at Morristown, N. J.; in 1778, having re-enlisted, he served three months under Capt. Robt. Young; was nine months at Eliza- bethtown and Morristown under Capt. Robt. Young during the Revolt of the Penn. Line Troops; during the winter of 1780, he was two weeks with Gen'l. Stirling on Staten Island; in 178 1 he served three months under Capt. Robt. Young. He was in the Battles of Hackensack, Springfield, Elizabethtown, New Brunswick, Spottswood and Minissink on the Dela- ware; he was on the expedition against the British the hard winter of 1779- 80 and went over the ice; he was discharged by General Winds." His pension was $73.88 annually. Morgan Young, jr. married, near the end of the Revolution, Jane 22 OUR YOUNG FAMILY Losey, (b. 1758, Gravestone record), daughter of John and Jane Losey, of Mendham, N. J. This marriage perhaps was not the first such alliance between the two families. It does not seem a sufficient explanation for the fact that John Young (Rec. #1) left legacies to five of John Losey's chil- dren and to three of his grand children. John Young also sold his plan- tation on the Rockaway river to James Puff and John Losey, two children of John Losey, sr. Perhaps Jane, wife of John Losey, sr. was his second wife and a sister of John Young. John Losey, in his will (made June 4 1765, probated, July 2 1765, State files, Trenton, N. J.), mentioned his wife Jane as living, and gave the names of his children. He noted that Elizabeth and Jane were the youngest daughters and that Philip and Jane were under age. One of the witnesses to the will was James, son of Robert Young whose farm adjoined that of John Losey. The eldest child of John Losey, James Puff, was born in 171 8 (d. Jan. 10, 1809, age 90 yrs. 7 mos., Rockaway Records), forty years before Jane (Morgan Young) was born. John Losey may have married twice. James Puff Losey married when he was 48 yrs. old, 1766, Hannah Burwell, born 1750 (Morristown, N. J. records). The Loseys were of Dutch origin, and the middle name of James suggests that there was a family alliance with Jurgen and Maria Puff whose daughter Elizabeth was born and baptized in 1722 (Luth. Ch. on the Raritans records). This Elizabeth Puff perhaps was the Elizabeth "Buff" who married, Apr. 13 1743, David Moor (Moore). (Morristown, N. J. records). The names of the children of Morgan and Jane Young are from the family Bible of Losey Young, (their youngest child), owned in 1940 by Mrs. Nellie (Atfield) Walton, of Wakita, Okla. The order of birth is somewhat uncertain. 26. i. Susannah, eldest child 27. ii. Sallie, 28. iii. Noah, b. April 1788 29. iv. Jane, 3°- v. Abraham, 3 1 - vi. John, 32. vii. George, 33- viii. Moses, b.

She md. Aug. 30 1792, Jacob 5 DeWitt who died, May 24 1862, age 87 yrs. 8 mos. 24 days. The will of Jacob 4 DeWitt who bought his farm in Sussex County, Oct. 10 1 761, from the East Jersey Proprietors, and which he gave to his sons in 1802, was wit- nessed by John Wintermoot (Wintermute) and Benjamin Middaugh, fami- lies allied with the Youngs. Samuel, a son of Jacob 4 DeWitt, emigrated west. Jacob and Charity had one child, Miriam, b. Apr. 6 1793. The information of William Young (Rec. #3) about his daughter Charity is confused. She seems to have md. twice. Her first husband probably was John Darby (Darbe) by whom she had a son, John Djarby, jr., b. Sept. 30 1790. (James P. Read, N. J. Gen. Soc). John DeWitt (d. March 15 1866) and his wife Mary (Washer) DeWitt (d. Aug. 22 1864, a g e 81 yrs. 7 mos. 2 days) are buried in River- cliff cemetery, Mt. Gilead, O. They moved in 181 8 from Sussex County, N. J. to Knox County, O. where they became members of the Jersey Settle- ment in Ohio. A son, John V. (b. Jan. 23 18 10) md. in 1835 Jane Dalrymple, daughter of John and Jerusha (Sylvester) Dalrymple (Hist, of Morrow County, O. 1880). Another son, Isaac A. (d. July 13 1843, Age 49 yrs. 4 mos. 4 days) and Lenor his wife, are buried at Mt. Gilead. 12 "CATY" YOUNG born, Aug. 16 1769, married, June 5 1788, Benjamin Middaugh (Mad- daugh).

Y. 14 NATHANIEL MITCHELL YOUNG The "Axe-man," as the Indians called him, Founder of the so-called "Jersey Settlement in Ohio," born in Morris County, N. J., was named after his maternal grandfather James Mitchell who came to N. J. about 1683 from Scotland. The inscriptions on the gravestones of Nathaniel and his wife in Wayne Cemetery near Fredericktown, O. read: "In Memory of Nathaniel M. Young, Who died Feb. 18, 1828, Age 57 yrs. 10 mos. 28 days," and "Mary, Consort of Nathaniel M. Young, Who died July 15 1830, Age 58 yrs. 11 mos. 28 days." On the flyleaf of the "Plot Book of THIRD GENE RATION 25 Wayne Cemetery," (located on Highway #95, near Luzerne), it is written: "This cemetery contains the remains of Nathaniel Mitchell Young, the first permanent settler within the present limits of Knox County. He built his cabin within a few hundred yards of his present resting place, in the Spring of 1803. Jacob Young, his brother, and Abraham and Simeon Lyon joined him in the Spring of the following year. Later in the same year Eliphalet and John Lewis, and James Bryant, joined the settlers. Since all these settlers were from N. J., the settlement was known as the Jersey Settlement." The will of Nathaniel Young, dated five days before his death, witnessed by his brother Ellzy Pierson Young and William Bryant, gave his gun and his desk to his son, ten dollars to each of his daughters and the rest of his property to his wife (Filed at Mt. Vernon, O.). Abraham Lyon (b. 1749 in N. J., died in March 1848 in Allen County, O.) had a son Simeon who moved to Ohio in 1805 ("Lyon Memorial"). Abraham Lyon registered his cattle's earmarks at Mendham, N. J. in 1770, and Simeon did likewise in 1798. Eliphalet Lewis registered his there in 1749. N. M. Young and Mary, his wife, sold to Abraham Lyon of Clinton Township, Fairfield County (later Wayne Township, Knox County) Ohio, Nov. 25 1805, lot II, in the 14th Range, 7th Township and 2nd Quarter, touching the land of James Lewis (Deed Bk. F, p. 327, Lancaster, O.). The earliest, 1820, Ohio Census shows Abraham, Simeon, Ephraim Lyon, John and William Lewis, and William Bryant as neighbors in the Mt. Ver- non Area of Knox County, O. (National Archives, Washington, D. C). See list of Burials in Wayne Cemetery, page 27. N. M. Young bought, April 30 1800, from Ebenezer and Mary Drake of Mendham, N. J., 500 acres of wilderness land in what was then the U. S. Military Tract (1796) in the Northwest Territory. This was before the State of Ohio was created, in what was once Adams County, later Ross, still later Fairfield and finally Knox County. The land was originally sold to Benjamin I. Moore, of N. J. The deed by which Mr. Young purchased his land was one of the earliest recorded (May 7 1800) at Chillicothe, first capital of Ohio. It marked the beginning of the Jersey Settlement. On the same day, at the same place and from the same owner that Nathaniel bought his land which was located on the west side of Owl Creek in the present township of Wayne, Knox County, James Lewis, also of Mendham, N. J., bought land adjoining that of Nathaniel, described as in the 7th Township, 14th Range, 2nd Quarter of the U. S. Military Lands. The deed was signed by John Frelinghausen, as Clerk of Somerset County, N. J. The following deed illustrates how political boundaries were changing in Nathaniel's day: "Nathaniel M. Young and Mary, his wife, of the Town- ship of Clinton, County of Fairfield, O., sold, Nov. 25 1 805, to Abraham 26 OUR YOUNG FAMILY Lyon, of the same place, for $200.00, Lot 1 1 etc." Witnesses to the Deed were: Ziba Jackson and Jacob Young. The records at Mt. Vernon, O. show that Nathaniel sold, Feb. 2 1824, for $2025.00 part of his 500 acres to Noah Young, his cousin and his son-in-law, who was living in Rich- land County. (Rec. 28). A. B. Norton, in his "History of Knox County, O., 1862," p. 9, says: "The first white settler north of Mt. Vernon was Nathaniel M. Young, from Pennsylvania, who in 1803, built a cabin on the south fork of the Vernon river, three miles west of Fredericktown. In the winter of 1805-6, Mr. Young, James Lewis and James Bryant caught 41 wolves in steel traps and pens. After many years of solitary residence on the beautiful Ko-Ko-sing, the solitude of Andrew Craig, the first white man to locate within the present boundaries of Knox County, is broken by the entrance of a lone Jerseyman who penetrates some ten miles farther into the wilder- ness. This follower of the trade of Vulcan, Mr. Young, soon gets ready to blow and to strike, and sets about supplying the sons of the forest the first axes they had ever seen. Mr. Young carried the sobriquet of "Axe- man," given him by the Indians, for many years. The old axe-maker is followed by some of his relatives and friends who start what has been ever since known as the Jersey Settlement in Ohio." Fredericktown, originally Kerr's Mill, was platted in 1807. (Rec. 319). Nathaniel M. Young married Mary Lewis in New Jersey. Their first child was born in 1794. The inscription on Mary's gravestone fixes her birth in July 1 77 1. She was the first child of James (b. 1747, d. Nov. 8 1819) and Abigail (Douglass) Lewis (b. 1747, d. Aug. 5 1830). In the "Lewis Letters" (Lewisiana, Vol. XII, p. 100, #142, N. Y. Pub. Library) Mary is noted as having "d. young" which contradicts a second notation which calls N. M. Young the son-in-law of James Lewis. "Md. Young" would have been accurate. A. A. Graham, in his "History of Knox County, O.," p. 616, writing about James Bryant, calls him "the brother-in-law of N. M. Young." The Lewis Letters speaking of Anna, daughter of James Lewis, says that she was born, Jan. 17 1774, died June 4 1828, and mar- ried a Mr. Bryant. Her gravestone, Wayne Cemetery reads, "Anna, Con- sort of James Bryant, Died 1828." Mrs. Sarah J. (Harris) Keifer, in her "N. J. Branch of the Harris Family," p. 9, says: "Nathaniel M. Young married a Miss Lewis." The "Lewis Letters" correctly list the other chil- dren of James and Abigail Lewis as: William (1772-1829); John (b. Nov. 23 1778, d. Apr. 5 1822; Eliphalet (b. 1781, d. Apr. 30 1823); and Sally who md. a Mr. Lindley and had no children. To quote again from the Lewis Letters: "The three sons of James Lewis, William, John and Eliphalet, married three sisters by the name of THIRD GENERATION 27 Conger, descendants of John Koeniger, a Hugenot, who settled in Middle- sex, N. J. March 18 1669. William and Rhoda (Conger) Lewis, John and Hannah (Conger) Lewis, Eliphalet and Charlotte (Conger) Lewis are buried in Wayne Cemetery. Mary Lewis was the great granddaughter of Samuel, progenitor of the Lewis family of Somerset County, N. J., who is said to have been born in Glamorgan, Wales, and to have arrived in America in 1 7 1 7. She was the granddaughter of Edward (b. Aug. 8 1722, d, June 22 1792) and Sarah (Morris) Lewis (b. 1728, d. Nov. 6 1808) who were married, May 30, 1745. Edward and Sarah are interred at Basking Ridge, N. J. Sarah was the daughter of Daniel (son of Stephen) Morris who lived in Basking Ridge, N. J. in 1744 ("Lewisiana," Vol. 3, p. 184). Several descendants of the Lewis family are buried in the Quaker ceme- tery near Fredericktown, O. The names and birth dates of the children of N. M. and Mary Lewis Young were copied from the family Bible and records of William Mitchell Young, now (1945) owned by his son, Carl Dwight Young, of Dela- ware, o. 37. i. Anne, b.

March 13 1799 SOME BURIALS IN WAYNE CEMETERY Knox County, Ohio The following list of burials in Wayne Township Cemetery in which Wayne Baptist Church stood until it fell in ruins in 1938 is thought to be nearly complete. It was compiled in 191 2 from the cemetery book sup- plemented by information furnished by descendants of those who had been interred in the cemetery. The numeral before a name indicates the row in the cemetery ground. The cemetery, no longer in use, is located on Highway #95? about three miles from Fredericktown, near the village of Luzerne, and not far from Salem cemetery. Both cemeteries were in the area of the Jersey Settlement, of which a map is shown.

J., probably in Hanover Town- ship where his parents lived until his father bought the Mendham property in 1784 from Morgan Young sr. Jacob died in Wayne Township, Knox County, O., and was buried in Wayne cemetery (Rec. 14) where a monu- ment to his memory stands, with the following inscriptions: "Jacob Young, died March 6 1846, In the 72nd year of his life"; "Tryphena, his wife, died Feb. 2nd 1864, In her 84th year"; "Hannah, daughter of Jacob and Tryphena Young, died Aug. 14 1822, Age 4 years, 22 days"; Jacob D., son of J. & T. Young, died July 25 1830, Age 9 yrs. 4 mos. 22 days." Jacob, as a resident of Byram Township, Sussex County, N. J., bought, Apr. 9 1805, from Abraham and Prudence Roll of the same place, for $750.00, 500 acres of land in the same Quarter, Township and Range of the U. S. Military Tract of the Northwest Territory in which his brother Nathaniel had bought in 1800. His purchase touched the northern boundary of James Lewis' land (Vol. E, p. 121, County records, Lancaster, O.). Jacob witnessed the deed by which his brother sold, Nov. 25 1805, to Abraham Lyon, land adjoining that of James Lewis. Through his wide interests and activities, Jacob quickly became one of the most prominent pioneers of the area. The county records at Mt. Vernon and at Mt. Gilead contain numerous accounts of his real estate dealings in the counties of Knox and Morrow. "Youngs Addition" to Mt. Gilead is pictured in Plat Book, #1, at Mt. Gilead. A few of the activities of Jacob are enumerated by A: B. Norton in his "History of Knox County, 1 779-1 862": "Nathaniel and Jacob Young were two of the Clerks of the 1st election for State and Memorial Monument at Newton, N. J.

THIRD GENERATION 3£ County offices, held in the Township of Wayne, Oct. n 1808"; "Jacob, in 1 813, was appointed Associate Judge of Knox County"; "in 1 8 16, he became a banker and was named Manager of the Owl Creek Bank at Mt. Vernon"; "he and Daniel Beers were a Committee of Arrangement for the 4th of July celebration in 181 7 at Fredericktown, O." Certain land sales of Jacob are interesting because of the allied family names which they contain. Jacob, June 17 1837, then of Knox County, sold land to Silas Miller. Two branches of the Young family, seemingly of no kin, are brought together in one of Jacob's last sales. On July 13 1842, he sold a lot in Mt. Gilead, then in Marion County, for $1.50 to Isaac DeWitt, husband of Martha, daughter of Josiah and Mary Barden Young who emigrated to Ohio, 1836, from Vermont (Marion records, Bk. 6, p. 483). Judge Henry Ustick, second husband of Abigail Young, daugh- ter of Jacob, witnessed this deed. Jacob served his country in the War of 1812 as Captain of an Ohio Company in which Noah Young (Rec. #28) was a corporal and several members of allied families were privates: Joseph Talmage, Jacob Shur, John Cramer, Israel Dalrymple, William Drake, Nathaniel Mitchell, Samuel Lewis, Daniel Ayers, and John Logan who was a sergeant (Evans, History of Knox County, O.). The will of Jacob Young, made Feb. 19 1845, names his wife and his brother N. M. Young as executors, and lists the following children: Abigail Ustick, Daniel B., Charity Ann Jackson, Nathaniel M., Susan L. Talmage, John H., Elizabeth Mitchell, and Aaron Pitney Young. Three sales of land between May 1859 anc * Sept. 1862, recorded at Mt. Gilead, O., show additional heirs of Jacob: Phebe A., wife of John H. Young; Lydia, wife of A. P. Young; Susan and Tryphena Venum; Phebe Lane; Amanda Lewis; Elizabeth Rugg, daughters of Charity (Young) Jackson; L. J., F. J., J. Y., and S. M. Jackson, sons of Charity, all of Whiteside County, 111. In one sale deed, T. H. Dalrymple, acting as attorney for Amanda and Lafayette Jackson, is called their ancestor. (Rec. 16). Jacob Young was married by the Rev. John J. Carle, of Rockaway, N. J., Dec. 25 1796, to Euphemia Beers (her name is so written in the marriage record at Morristown, N. J.), daughter of Daniel and Azuba (Pitney) Beers.

Joseph had a son, Jabeth (1 804-1 858), who married Mahala Young (Record 8), granddaughter of Morgan and Elizabeth Mills Young. Daniel Beers (b. Dec. 30 1752, Will dated, June 3 1790, Mendham, N. J.) had a daughter, Euphemia (Tryphena), who married Jacob grandson of Morgan and Elizabeth Young. One ad- ministrator of Daniel's will was John Mills. Daniel Beers married, Apr. 1 1774, Azuba Pitney, b. Nov. 27 1755, daughter of Benjamin (Will, 1793, d. 1795) and Abigail Byram Pitney. Benjamin Pitney registered the earmarks of his cattle at Mendham, N. J. in 1768. His brother James registered his in 1750. The children of Daniel and Azuba were: Elizabeth, b.

Jan. 20 1795, md. a Mr. Lafever. Catherine Beers Talmage, writing from Mt. Gilead, O. to her sister Tryphena Young at Morrison, 111., May 30, year not shown, (after 1845 when Elmay Cooper died), recalls "the many associations when we were young, when we lived in the wilderness (Knox County, O.), eating our own corn bread and wild meat, those were happy days! no one to find fault with what we did! I sometimes stay with my son and sometimes with Nancy (Henry Snyder). Susan (Lafever) can tell you about all our friends. Write and tell me if you enjoy life. We are almost home. My hope is sure and steadfast, so come Lord Jesus. My health is good for my age. I thought of coming to see you and of going to Nancy Miller's (see below) but they have moved too far away, so I shall not come. Write and tell me if you are better content now than here. Byram is living in a new house on the old farm. His daughter Pheny lives in the old one. I send you a piece of sister Beers and Elmay Cooper's shroud" (Letter now owned by Mrs. S. L. Chesley, Fargo, N. D.). Byram Beers witnessed, June 17 THIRD GENERATION 33 1837, a sale of land by Jacob Young to Silas Miller (Marion, O. records). Nancy Losey Miller, b. 1798, married in 1824, Jacob, son of Abraham and Catherine (Denman) Miller. She was the daughter of John and Han- nah (Pierson) Losey who married about 1795, and the granddaughter of Cornelius and Abigail (Dunham) Losey. Cornelius is widely accepted as the son of John (Will, 1765, Morristown, N. J.) and Jane Losey of Mend- ham, N. J. but Stelle F. Randolph, of Grand Rapids, Mich., in a letter to the N. J. Historical Society, says that Cornelius was the son of James Puff Losey (1718-1809) and a first wife whose name is not known. To find the name of this first wife of James might be to solve the mystery of legacies to so many Loseys by John Young. (Rec. 1) Mary and Jane, daughters of John and Jane Losey, married respectively Jonathan Pitney (Will, Oct. 10 1778, Morristown, N. J.) and Morgan Young, jr. Mr. Pitney, in his will, calls James Puff Losey his brother-in-law. The relation- ship between this Miller family and that of Adam Miller who married Mary Young, sister of Morgan, sr., and that of Daniel Miller who married Eliza- beth Young, daughter of Losey (Record 35) has not been traced. 16 MARY YOUNG was b., Oct. 26 1777, in Morris County, N. J., died, Sept. 25, 1823, at Fredericktown, O. and was buried beside her husband in Wayne Ceme- tery, near Lucerne, O.

It is also engraved on his tombstone that "Hannah, daughter of J. and E. Young, died Aug. 6 1866, Age 51 yrs. I mo. 22 days," and that "William Young, died, March 17 1864, Age 64 yrs." John was born in Randolph Township, Morris County, N. J. and spent most of his life farming in Troy Township, Richland County, O. where his wife died and was buried in Fairview Cemetery, near Mansfield, O. The inscription on her gravestone reads, "Elizabeth, wife of John Young, died May 17 1857, Age 73 y rs * 3 mos - 2 5 days," placing her birth in 1784. After the death of his wife, John went to live with his daughter Sarah (W. Harrison) Day in DeKalb, 111. and died there. John Young served during the War of 181 2 in Capt Greer's Knox County Company. He was a Justice of the Peace and married, Dec. 26 1 8 16, Mary Logan, his wife's sister, to James Harris, buried in Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Richland County, O., son of John and Mary Hamilton Harris. On Aug. 13 18 14 John bought 42 acres of land for $84.00 in Range 19, Troy Township, Sect. 9 from his brother Aaron and Mary Mitchell Young. He sold land in the same Range in 1813 to Andrew Perkins, husband of his niece Elizabeth Young. Mr. Perkins bought from John Young, jr. and Elizabeth, the N. E. Quarter of Sect. 25 in Troy Township, March 17 18 19. (Bk. 1, 643, Mansfield, O. records). John Young, jr. married, Sept. 15 1807, Elizabeth Logan, both resi- dents of Randolph Township, Morris County, N. J. (Morristown, N. J. records). Elizabeth probably was the daughter of John Logan, an inven- tory for whose estate in Morris County, N. J., Morgan Young, sr. helped to make and for whom Robert Young, son of Morgan, served during the Revolution. John Logan 2 lived near the Youngs in Washington County, Pa. in 1 810 (Census report) and he served as Sergeant in Capt. Jacob Young's Company, made up of residents of Knox and Richland Counties, during the War of 181 2 (Norton's, "History of Knox County, O."). John and Jane Logan (d. Feb. 14 1854, age 67 years 1 mo. 13 days) were buried in Wayne Cemetery, Fredericktown, O. John and Elizabeth Young had six children, all born in Richland County, O. 36 OUR YOUNG FAMILY 49. i.

His estate was left to his wife Mary and his seven children. His wife and John Logan, his son-in-law, were his executors. The land deals of Aaron are recorded at Mt. Vernon, Mansfield and Mt. Gilead, O. They testify to the changing county boundaries during his day. In 1813, Aaron sold land to Jacob Mitchell, his brother-in-law (Mansfield, O. records). Aaron married, March 17 1812, his second cousin Mary Mitchell, both being residents of Wayne Township, Knox County, O. (Mt. Vernon rec- ords). Mary Mitchell, b. Aug. 15 1796, d. March 21 1868, Age 71 yrs. 7 mos. 6 days, was buried in Harrisburg Cemetery, Sauk County, Wis. (Gravestone record). She was the daughter of William and Phebe (South- ard) Mitchell, niece of Hannah Mitchell (John) Young, sister of Naomi, md. Lewis Young (son of N. M. Young) and of Silas Mitchell, md. Eliza- beth, daughter of Jacob Young. The children of Aaron and Mary, all born in Richland County, O., became pioneers in Missouri and Wisconsin. (Miss Estella E.

He was brought by his parents from Washington County, Pa. to Kerr's Mill (now Fredericktown), O. in 1809, and joined the "Jersey Settlement," founded by his brother Nathaniel Mitchell Young. Led by his innate spirit of pioneering he moved on in 1852 to Richland City, Wis. where he remained until 1856 when he settled in Richland Center and became active in local affairs. He was a ruling elder of the Presbyterian Church both in Ohio and Wisconsin. The high point in his career occurred when he anticipated Carrie Nation and conducted a one man crusade up and down the main street of Richland Center, wielding an axe upon every whiskey barrel his gaze fell upon. The local papers emphasized the dramatic aspect of his long white whiskers streaming in the breeze as he demolished barrel after barrel. He died, June 24 1870, at Gotham, Wis. and was buried in nearby Bulton Cemetery (Mrs. Margaret Young King, Albert Lea, Minn.). Ellzy's given names take us back to the Rev. Ebenezer Pierson, one of the founders of New Ark (Newark), N. J. He was married, Feb. 17 1820, by James Scott, V. Dl. M. to Sarah E. Bonar (Mt. Vernon, O. rec- ords). Sarah was born, Apr. 30 1799, died, Apr. 2 1847, Age 47 vrs - 11 mos. 2 days, and was buried in Forest Cemetery, Fredericktown, O. Be- side her tombstone are two stones marking the resting places of two daugh- ters: "Margareta, daughter of E. P. and Sarah Young, Died June 27 1848, Age 21 yrs. 9 mos. 1 day," and "Sarah Amanda, died March 6 1845, Age 1 yr. 6 mos. 6 days." THIRD GENERATION 39 Bonar is sometimes spelled Boner. Sarah Bonar was a distant relative of Horatius Bonar, the well known Scotch hymn writer. Ellzy married, Aug. 24 1852, for his second wife, Caroline A. Collins, a widow, daughter of Col. R. D. Simons (Mt. Vernon, O. records). After Ellzy died, Caroline married the Rev. Mr. Barnes, a Presbyterian minister. Ellzy sold in 1841 his Knox County farm to Daniel Beers, jr. and moved to Richland County, O. In 1846, he was living in Ridgefield Township, Huron County, O. when he bought a farm in Oxford Township, same county, near Courtland Center. (Sandusky, O. records). His children and the dates of their birth are from the family Bible of David Bonar Young: (Mrs. G. A. King). 61. i. David Bonar, b. March 26 1821 62. ii. Elizabeth, b. Sept. 4 1822 iii.

Only one child of James and Margaret has been found, Lucinda Young (181 4- 1887) who md. Moses Lee, son of George W. and Kate (Lay) Lee. (File of Harry C. Haggerty of New Haven, Conn, at Nat'l Office of S.A.R. #26033, Washington, D. C). Moses Lee may have been of the same family as Lucinda Young Lee whose birth (July 30 1797) and death (June 25 1 821) are recorded in the Register of the First Presbyterian Church, Morristown, N. J. Lucinda was daughter of William Lee. 22 ELIAS BRIANT YOUNG dated his will, March 20 1837, at Chester, N. J. (Morristown, N. J. rec- ords). He died, "June 12 1837, Age 45 yrs. 8 mos. 29 days" (Tombstone, Chester, N. J.). In his will, witnessed by Zachariah DeCamp, Wm. F. Woodruff and James Emmans, he names his wife and all his children ex- cept Malina who died before 1837. Elias died on his farm located between Chester and Chester Cross Roads. His father spent his last years on part of his farm. The name in written Youngs on his gravestone. 40 OUR YOUNG FAMILY Elias married Sarah E. Condit, b. Aug. 8 1796, d.

No confirma- tion has been found. 24 SIMEON YOUNG born, Sept. 29 1798, in the present Randolph Township, Morris County, N. J., died about 1865 at Shipshewanna, Ind. and was buried there. He was one of those of whom his father (Rec. 8) said, "they have gone to New York State and Ohio." Simeon's name is on the Tax List of Randolph for 1822 (State Lib., Trenton, N. J.). He went to Pennfield, N. Y. when he left N. J. and in 1845, ne joined his several relatives in Lagrange County, Ind., and engaged in farming. Simeon married four times.

In some records she is called the eldest child. The date of birth is not given but this must have been before 1788 when her brother Noah was born in Morris County, N. J. (Rec. 8). The U. S. Census for 1790 places the family in Fallowfield Township, Washington County, Pa. and shows that it then consisted of father and mother, one son (Noah), and two daughters. It is unknown whether Sarah or Jane was the second daughter. A Susannah Young who bought a lot in Enterprise, near Monroe ville, O., in Nov. 1847, mi ght have been our Susannah. 27 SARAH YOUNG commonly called Sally was born either in New Jersey or at Red Stone Old Fort, Washington County, Pa. One family record shows Sarah as having married a Mr. Ralston in Adams County, O. This cannot be confirmed because most of the records of Adams County were destroyed by fire in 1 9 10. In a single volumn of records that was saved from the fire there are a few 44 OUR YOUNG FAMILY marriage records and one of these is that of the marriage, June 12 1806, of Betsy Young to Robert Ralston. Evans and Stiver, in their "History of Adams County, Ohio, 1900," page 57, list a few early marriages, and one of them is: "1807, Oct. 9, Henry McGarah and Sarah Young, married by James Moore." It will be shown under record #31 that John Young mar- ried Jane McGarah. Mitchell Morrison Young (1 854-1 942), of near West Union, O., who inherited the Morgan Young farm and lived most of his life there, told the writer that a daughter of Morgan whose name he could not remember married Henry McGarah. No descendant amongst the Ralstons of Adams County has been found. 28 NOAH YOUNG son of Morgan and Jane Losey Young was married, March 20 181 1, at No. Monroeville, O., by Samuel Kratzer, to Anna Young (Rec. 37), daughter of Nathaniel M. and Mary Lewis Young (Rec. 14). The mar- riage united two collateral lines of our Young family. Noah died, July 5 1858, on his farm about two miles east of New Haven, O., age 70 years, 3 months, (Gravestone record) and was buried, as was his wife, in the old cemetery at New Haven. He was born in April 1788 in Elizabeth Town- ship, Essex County, N. J. (Family Bibles). He was living with his parents and two sisters in Fallowfield Township, Washington County, Pa. when the U. S. Census for 1790 was taken. When about 18 years old he was taken by his parents to near West Union, Adams County, O. from where he moved after a brief sojourn and joined his relatives who had settled near Frederick- town, O. The death record of Mahlon, first child of Noah and Anna Young, shows that he was born two miles east of Fredericktown, O. (Nor- walk, O. records). On Feb. 15 1815, Noah Young, of Knox County, O., bought from the Federal Government through the Wooster, O. office, a farm of 163.67 acres in Troy Township, Richland County, O. (Dep't. of Interior, Wash- ington, D. C). In 1833, Noah and Anna sold this land described as the SW1/4 Sect. 30, Township 20, Range 18, to Andrew Perkins, their brother- in-law (Rec. 38) (Mansfield, O. records). The Mansfield records, Vol. 3, p. 4, show that Noah in 1821 bought from Andrew Perkins a farm in Range 19, Twp. 20, S. 25. In 1828, about one year before his parents arrived from Adams County to become his neighbors, Noah bought a farm in Ridgefield Township, Huron County, O. In 1831, with his brother Henry he bought his parent's recently purchased farm (Rec. 9). On this farm in New Haven Township, Noah died. At one time, Noah owned a farm in Berlin Township, Huron County, O. which he sold in 184 1 to THIRD GENERATION 45 Elias Ellis (Norwalk, O. records). Before making his first land purchase in northern Ohio Noah is said to have inspected the farm land in Fentress County, Tenn. and to have bought a farm which is still recorded in his name at Jamestown. Enquiry about the record at Jamestown has failed to bring a reply from the recorder. Noah's wife refused to live in Fentress County, Tenn. because of the lack of schools. (Family records). Noah served in the War of 181 2 as a corporal in the 6th Regiment, Ohio Militia, in a Company commanded by his cousin, Capt. Jacob Young (Rec. 15). The will of Noah, made June 22 1858, proved Aug. 23 1858, gave all his property to his wife Anna during her life, and ordered his son Morgan after the death of Anna to sell the property and divide the proceeds amongst the children. The will names four children: Elizabeth B. Hough, Chilon, Mary Ann House, and Jane Boardman. The witnesses were: E. C. Wood- worth, J. H. Mills and Dashop Warren. Morgan sold the property con- sisting of 55 acres, part of the J, V. Vredenburgh partition, New Haven Township, Huron County, Ohio, May 10 i860 ("Norwalk, O. Reflector," Apr. 24 i860). The will of Anna Young mentions the fact that her property adjoins that of Uriah Young, unidentified, who left Adams County, Ohio with Morgan Young (see Rec. 9). Anna's will is on file at Norwalk, O.

Jane was born before 1800 when the family was living in Washington County, Pa. and according to the U. S. Census consisted of father, mother, three sons, one daughter under 10 years, and two daughters between 10 and 16 years old. The Vital Statistics of Adams County, O. where the family was living in 18 10 were lost by fire in 191 o. 7 1 - 1. 72. ii. 73- 111. 74. IV. 75- 76. v. vi. 77- 78. Vll. viii. 79- IX. X. 46 OUR YOUNG FAMILY 30 ABRAHAM YOUNG died before Dec. 9 181 7 when his widow Leah sold their property the purchase of which was recorded at West Union, O., March 9 18 14. Noah's father was a Resident-Proprietor near West Union, O. in 1810 but his deed of purchase was not recorded until 18 14, the same year in which the purchase of Abraham was recorded (Rec. 9). They probably bought land at the same time. Abraham must have been born between the Census of 1790 and that of 1800, and must have been a young man when he died. 31 JOHN YOUNG was named after his uncle (Rec. 6). He was born in Washington County, Pa. according to the family records of his grand daughter, Nancy Belle (C. M.) Cooper, of Clarksville, la., who is our authority for many facts about John and his family. Mrs. Cooper was the youngest daughter of Noah, first child of our subject and Jane McGarrah Young. The family data of Mrs. Cooper is confirmed and supplemented by the records of Elizabeth Young Piatt (daughter of Noah), now 1946, in the hands of E. Agnes Piatt, of Bellevue, Ky. John was born between the Census of 1790 and that of 1800. The death notice of John in the "Village Register" of West Union, Ohio, June 25 1827 (State Lib., Columbus, O.) reads: "Died, 18th June 1827, J onn Young, Esq., at Jacksonville, Ohio, postmaster at that place." Tradition says that John was a storekeeper. The Vital Statistics of Adams County, O., for the most part, were lost by fire in 1910 but the Deed records were saved. The latter show "A Petition (recorded June 26 1829) against John Young deceased, his widow Jane, and his heirs, Noah, Willis, John G., and William McGarrah Young." This Petition, read in the light of the will of Margaret McGarrah, probated, Aug. 12 1859, at West Union, O., by Noah Young, sole Executor, confirms much of our information from private sources. The will of Margaret A. McGarrah grants legacies "to my dear grand- child Noah Young," who is made sole Executor, and "to my dear great grand children Jane Young, Margaret Ann Young, Levi Barker Young, Luella Frances Young, and Harriet Sophrona Young." Deborah Jack, sis- ter of Jane McGarrah Young, was also remembered in the will. Jane McGarrah, daughter of William and the maker of the will, married our subject, John Young, and their first child Noah was the Executor of Mar- garet McGarrah's will. The Young legatees were children of Noah. The McGarrahs (McGary, McGeary), Storers and Youngs came to Adams County, O., from Washington County, Pa. Margaret McGarrah THIRD GENERATION 47 according to the Piatt family records was a Young by birth and was related to Morgan Young (Rec. 6). Elizabeth (Betsy), a third daughter of Wil- liam and Margaret McGarrah, married in 1826, George Young, son of Daniel, of West Union, O. This marriage united two branches of the Young family to the McGarrah family. After the death of John, his widow Jane married, 2nd., Robert McKown (McCowan), at West Union, O., and their daughter Jane McKown mar- ried Wilson Storer (born 1832). Wilson was a brother of Susan Storer who married Noah Young (Rec. 80), son of our subject. Lucinda Storer (born 1820) sister of Wilson and Susan, married Amos, grandson of Daniel Young, of West Union, O. Susan, Lucinda and Wilson were children of William and Elizabeth Barker Storer, grandchildren of Ezekiel and Susannah Storer of Washington County, Pa., and great grandchildren of Thomas and Elizabeth (? Forman) Storer, of New Jersey. Children of John and Jane Young: 80. i. Noah, b. July 19 181 7 ii. Wilson, b. about 1820, married and went to Kansas where he is said to have settled. 81. iii. John G. ("Ivory"), b. May 28 1822 iv. William McGarrah, b. about 1824, md. Tina (Christina) Thatcher and went to Kansas. 32 GEORGE YOUNG Mrs. Mary Jane Young (H. M.) Loomis (182 8- 1909), niece of George, writing from her home in Chicago, 111. in 1892 to her nephew Delevan Young of Lagrange, Ind. said: "George Young had a large family but I know the names of only two of his children, Daniel and Jennie. The family lived at one time in Sandusky County, O., and later in Will County, 111., near his brothers, Moses, Henry and Losey. I did not know the family of George very wiell." No descendant of George has been found. The records at Joliet, 111. show that George Young bought, Jan. 5 1852, from the Trustees of the 111. and Mich. Canal Commission, 20 acres of timber land. The same necords show that Daniel C. and Mariah E. Young bought land in Range 11 from the Commission (Deed Bks. W. 157 and X. 218). The Census of 1840 shows George, age between 40 and 50 years, living with his family (wife, four sons and two daughters) near Sturgis, St. Joseph County, Mich. The names of only two children of George are known. 48 OUR YOUNG FAMILY i. Daniel ii. Jennie An Unidentified Morgan Young Perhaps was a son of George, Rec. 32. Morgan Young, farmer, born, Jan. 30 1834, near Columbus, Bartholomew Co., Ind., diied, Sept. 10 1908 at Vincennes, Ind. and was buried there. He married, 1st., Susan Orchard who died Nov. 24 1868. He md., 2nd., Sarah I. Parsons, daughter of John and Ellen Parsons, June 13 1874, at Vincennes. She died, Feb. 28 1929, at Vincennes (Pension records, Washington, D. C). When Mor- gan enlisted as a private for Civil War service, Feb. 10 1865, at Springfield, 111., he gave his age as 30 years, and said that he was born in Johnson Co., Ind., and that his residence was Normal, McLean Co., 111. He served in Company F, 54th. Illinois Vol. Infantry, and was mustered-out, Oct. 15 1865, at Little Rock Ark. (Adjutant General, State of Illinois). Morgan applied for a pension, Feb. 22 1907, from Vincennes, Ind. and said that he had lived 3 years in Illinois since having been mustered-out and the balance of the time in Knox Co., Ind. The last pension payment was made to his widow, Sarah I. Young, at Vincennes. Sarah I. (Parsons) Young was raised by Sarah Parsons Osbon (sister of John Parsons) who lived 10 miles east of Washington, Daviess Co., Ind. George Young, record 150, married Electa Osbon. Noah Young, record 28, named a son, Parsons E. Young. Family names, location and time suggest that this Morgan Young was a near relative if not a son of George Young. 33 MOSES YOUNG born, May 11 1802, at Red Stone Old Fort (now Brownsville) Pa., died, Feb. 23 1870, and was buried at Wilton Center, Will County, 111. (Com- mander W. P. Roop, U. S. N., Woodbury, N. J.). He was a miller and farmer. The family moved from Adams County to Erie County, Ohio and in 1852 to Will County, 111. where Moses bought, Sept. 2 1854, land in the Indian Reservation, north of Range 11. (Joliet, 111. records). In 1866 Moses gave his homestead near Manhattan, 111. to his daughter Sarah Young Robbins. Moses married, March 20 1823, at West Union, O., Euroia Hamilton, of Kentucky. Euroia was buried at Wilton Center, 111. beside her sister-in- law Mary Drown Young. Children of Moses and Euroia, order of births unknown : THIRD GENERATION 49 82. i. John 83. ii. Jane, b.

He, as also his wife, was buried in Riverside Cemetery, Howe, Ind. Some family records say Henry was born in Union County, N. J. which may be correct although the Census for 1790 and for 1800 place his father's family in Washington County, Pa., and in 18 10 his father was a Resident- Proprietor in Adams County, O. (State Lib., Columbus, O.). A family Bible, owned in 1941 by Mrs. H. E. Walton, Wakita, Okla., granddaughter of Losey, brother of Henry, and which probably was Henry's Bible, has written on the fly-page the names of Morgan Young and his daughter Susannah. Our dates about Henry and his family are from this Bible unless otherwise indicated. There is no data about Losey 's family in the Bible. Henry first appears in an official record at West Union, O. A single volume containing vital statistics of Adams County, O. was saved from a disastrous fire in 1910, and in it is recorded the marriage, May 7 1825, by Henry Young (unidentified), J. P., of Henry Young to Lydia Wade. Henry and his father left Adams County for Lyme Township, Huron County, O. about 1827 (Rec. 9), and in 1831, Henry with his brother Noah bought their father's farm in Perkins Township, Huron County, O. The records at Sandusky, O. show that Henry purchased land in Erie (earlier Sandusky, and still earlier Huron County) in 1840 and in 1845. During the scholastic year of 1843-4, Mary Jane, eldest child of Henry, taught in the public schools of Sandusky. (Official papers, owned by Delevan Young, Lagrange, Ind.). "Henry Young was appointed Sgt. Major in the 4th Regiment, nth Division of the Ohio Militia, July 4 1843. Signed, Col. H. Richmond." (Certificate owned by Delevan Young). "At the first war meeting held in Lima (Howe), Ind., April 15 1861, in response to President Lincoln's call for militia, Henry Young was made one of the members of the Com- 50 OUR YOUNG FAMILY mittee on Resolutions" (Hist, of the Counties of Lagrange and Noble, Ind." F. A. Battey, Chicago, 111. 1882). When Henry moved from Erie County, O. to Indiana, he settled first near his parents, brothers and other relatives and later moved to Buck Lake. Lydia Wade Young, born, Feb. 11 1805, died, Jan. 17 1897, was one of the 16 children of Zephaniah and Mary Wade who came from Virginia to Adams County, O. with the surveying party of Nathaniel Massie. Mor- gan Young's land was a part of the grant to Mr. Massie. (State Archives, Columbus, O.). The children of Henry and Lydia Young: 89. i. Mary Jane, b. Feb. 2 1826 90. ii. John Losey, b.

He died, Feb. 23 1881, age 74 years, 14 days, near Viola, Kan. and was buried there in Peotone cemetery (Tombstone date). His name on his gravestone is spelled Locey. John Losey of Mendham, N. J., his grand- father, in his will, spelled the name Losey (Rec. 9). Losey Young was a homesteader in Indiana, Illinois and Kansas. After the death of his father in his home which then was near Pigeon Lake on what is now Route 2, Pretty Prairie, Lagrange County, Ind., Losey with his brothers George and Moses moved to Will County, 111. where Losey bought, March 12 1853, 33 acres of kmd in Wilton Tp., Range 11, for $500.00. On April 8 1853 ^ e enlarged his holdings by a purchase from W. T. Nelson (County records, Joliet, 111.). W. T. Nelson and Cecilia, his wife, Sept. 8 1862, gave Losey a Quit Claim for $500.00. This Quit Claim suggests that Cecilia may have been a Young, perhaps one of the lost children of George, brother of Losey (Rec. 32). The name Nelson has THIRD GENERATION 51 been a frequent given name in the Young family from colonial days in N. J. until the present in Adams and Ross Counties, Ohio. Losey moved to near Viola, Kan. in 1857 according to Emma Jane Young (Elmer) Stine of Casper, Wyo. After the death of her mother, Emma lived with Losey and his family at Viola. Before going to Kansas, Losey sold, Jan. 26 1856, to his son Henry, land in Range 11, Will County, 111. for $1.00. The balance of his Illinois property, 160 acres in Range 12 Tp. 33, he sold, Aug. 21 1872, to his son Newton (Joliet, 111. records). Losey Young married twice. He first married Christina Myers, in Lagrange County, Ind. On her gravestone in Pretty Prairie cemetery, Lagrange County, is inscribed, "Christina, wife of Losey Young, died, Oct. 23 1849, aged 44 yrs. 6 mos. 24 days." He married, 2nd., in Will County, 111., Christina Miller Gawthrop, a widow, on whose tombstone at Viola, Kan. is written: "Christina, wife of Locey Young, born, Feb. 23 1815, died July 8 1900, age 85 yrs. 4 mos. 15 days." She was a sister of Daniel Miller who married Elizabeth, daughter of Losey. Mrs. Gawthrop by her marriage to Losey became the stepmother of Elizabeth who was also her niece. Elizabeth Gawthrop, daughter of Losey's second wife by her first husband, married Benjamin Young (Rec. 32). Benjamin and Eliza- beth Young emigrated from Will County, 111. to Kansas and later to Carth- age, Mo. James Gawthrop, brother of Elizabeth, married Sarah Young (Rec. 87). Losey had five children by his first wife and one by his second wife. 92. i. Elizabeth, b. Oct. 19 1827 ii. Susan, b. 1834 in Ohio, married James Mudge, in Lagrange County, Ind. iii. Ahaz, enlisted for service in the Civil War, Aug. 6 1862, at Wilton, 111. and was mustered into service Aug. 30 1862 at Joliet, 111. He gave his age as 19; his occupation, a farmer; nativity, Lagrange County, Ind. and his residence as Wilton, 111. He was assigned to Company H, 100th Infantry, and was killed in action, Sept. 19 1863, at Chicka- mauga, Ga. (Adj. General, Springfield, 111.). iv. Henry, No descendants have been found. His purchase of land from his father at a nominal sum is noticed above. He was born in Ohio in 1842. 93. vi. Newton, b. Feb. 7 1848 94. vi. Caroline, b.

He was a prosperous farmer who was a member of the State Assembly in 1866, and President of the Dairyman's Assoc, of Brighton in 1880 (SnelPs, Hist, of Sussex County, N. J.). In the Hall of Records, at Newton, it is recorded that Silas in 1827 sold land to Peter Wintermute, with Isaac Wintermute as a witness. The mother of Silas was Sarah Wintermute Young. The same records show that Silas was a resident of Allamuchy, Warren County (earlier Sussex and still earlier Morris County) in 1866 when he bought land in Andover Town- ship from his son William I. Young, of New York, N. Y. The tombstone of Silas is covered on its four sides with information that delights the heart of a genealogist. On one side it gives the death dates and ages of Morgan and Elizabeth Mills Young (Rec. 2), William and Miriam Throckmorton Young (Rec. 3), and Robert and Sarah Wintermute Young (Rec. 13). There are no headstones. On a second side are the birth and death dates of Silas, his two wives and three daughters. There is a headstone for each of these. On the third side there is similar data about William I. Young, his wife and one son. For each of these there is a head- stone indicating burial here. The last side has engraved upon it: "John Burch, born, May 6 1805, died, March 17 1878"; "Nancy Cromwell, wife of John Burch, died Aug. 17 1886, aged 75 years"; "Caroline Leland Wintermute, daughter of John and Nancy Burch, born, July 3 183 1, died May 4 1899." John Burch was the father-in-law of W. I. Young. Caro- line Leland Wintermute married, first, Robert Porter Leland, and second, Mr. Wintermute. The will of Silas Young (Yong) of Andover Township, Sussex County, N. J. (dated Mar. 6 1887, probated, May 4 1887, at Newton, N. J.) names his wife, Mary V. Young, and his son, William I., as Executors, and lists the following children: Emily Roe, widow of David Roe; William I. Young; Amanda Slater, deceased, wife of James B. Slater, and mother of George A. Slater and Isabelle H. Wolfe, widow of Jacob A. Wolfe, of Huntsville, N. J.; Charles M. Young; Julia M. Duncan, deceased, wife of W. Livingston Duncan, of Franklin, N. J.; Sarah Hazen, wife of Aaron C. Hazen, of Newark, N. J.; Ann Duncan, wife of Henry B. Duncan; Mary Isabelle; and Lewis S. Young. Accompanying papers with the will list the heirs of Silas Young that had been found when the final settlement of the estate was made in 191 7: Lewis S. Young, James B. Slater, George A. Slater, W. L. Duncan, Millie Mayhew, Wm. L. Hazen, Arthur S. Hazen, Mabel E. Hazen (all of whom are noted as being out of N. J.); FOURTH GENERATION 53 Jacob A. Wolfe, Dolly A. Van Sycle, Grace L. Hazen, Joseph K.

J., is recorded in her brother's Bible now owned by C. D. Young, of Delaware, Ohio. Her death April 26 1886, age 92, in Perkins Twn., Erie Co., O. is recorded at Sandusky, O. 38 ELIZABETH YOUNG was born, June 9 1795, in Morris County, N. J. according to records in her brother's Bible. (Rec. 39) She died and was buried in Perkins Town- ship, Erie County, O. Elizabeth married Andrew Perkins in Knox County, Ohio, the early records of which are scattered between Mansfield and Mt. 54 OUR YOUNG FAMILY Vernon, and those at Mt. Vernon in 1942 were stored in the attic and inac- cessible, according to officials! Deed records at Mansfield, O. reveal that Andrew Perkins in 1 8 1 3 bought land from John Young, jr., and Jan. 13 1 82 1 Noah Young (Rec. 28) sold land in Range 18 to Andrew Perkins. Also in 1 82 1 Andrew and Elizabeth Perkins sold land in Troy Township, Richland County, to Noah Young. This places the marriage of Elizabeth before 1821. Three of the children of Andrew and Elizabeth were: Lewis, Elias, and Hannah Perkins. The latter married a Mr. Beech (Mrs. Bertha Curtiss Anderson, Los Angeles, Calif.). Andrew was a kinsman of the Hon. Elias Perkins, resident of New London, Conn, after whom the town- ship of Perkins derived its name (Hist, of Erie County, O., Lewis C. Aldrich). 39 JAMES LEWIS YOUNG born, Aug. 3 1797, in Morris County, N. J., died, March 24 1849, at Mt. Vernon, O., where he was buried in Mound View Cemetery. His parents came to Ohio in 1803 and settled on the west branch of Owl Creek near Mt. Vernon. The U. S. Census for 1820 places Lewis and his family in the Mt. Vernon area of Knox County, O. Lewis married here, June 4 1 81 8, his second cousin, Naomi Mitchell, b. Dec. 26 1 800, d. April 7 1885. After the death of Lewis, Naomi married in Knox County, Thomas Evans. Naomi was the daughter of William (died Aug. 12 1848, age 83 yrs. buried Mt. Vernon, O.) and Phebe Southard Mitchell (d. Feb. 24 1 86 1, a g e 9 1 )* William Mitchell was a brother of Hannah who married John Young (Rec. 6). He settled near the Youngs at Fredericktown in 1 808, coming there from Allegheny County, Pa. Two other children of William and Phebe Mitchell and their wives are buried in Mound View Cemetery: the Rev. John (b. Apr. 19 1806, d. Nov. 23 1863) and wife Ann Ogden Mitchell (b. May 19 1805, d. May 12 1888), and Silas Mitchell (b. Apr. 20 1 8 14, d. Apr. 29 1899, age 85) and wife Elizabeth Young Mitchell, d. July 24 1896, age 82 (Rec. 15). Mary, sister of Naomi Mitchell, married Aaron Young (Rec. 18). Lewis and Naomi had three children. i. Sarah, b. March 10 1819, near Fredericktown, O., d. Apr. 6 1864, and was buried at Fredericktown.

J., died, Aug. 1 1880, in Huron County, O. She married John Beebe (? son of David living in Ridgefield, Ohio, 1840, age 93. U. S. Census.), a farmer at Cook's Cor- ners, now North Monroeville, O. The U. S. Census of 1830 places the family, parents and five children, in Ridgefield township, Huron County, O. They moved about 1835 to Norwalk, O. where Mr. Beebe established a fanning mill factory which he managed for years, then sold it and moved to Cleveland, O. Mr. Beebe was related to the Beebe family some of whom (Roxy, Sarah, William) were buried in Wayne Township Cemetery, near Fredericktown, O., and also to William R. Beebe who with Julius House (b. Sept. 3 1786, at Glastonbury, Conn., d. March 12 187 1, at Perkins, O.) bought land in 1 81 5 in the "Firelands." (L. C. Aldrich, "Hist, of Erie Co., O.").

J., was given the name of his maternal grandfather. He died, Aug. 5 1885, in the home of James Cobleigh, at Morrison, 111., and was buried in Grove Hill cemetery, at Morrison, beside his first wife. A monument shows the dates of the deaths and the ages of Daniel and Betsy, his wife. Betsy died, Jan. 13 1872, Age 66 yrs. 2 mos. 16 days. Under the dates is inscribed: "Her children arise up and call her blessed."

He became a prosperous farmer and was content to spend his life on land that his father bought in 1805 and which then was covered by a virgin forest. He was a neighbor of his uncle with the same name (Rec. 14). His will dated March 26 i860, gave his property to his wife with instruc- tions that she give stated amounts of money to his children.

(Norwalk, O. records). Mahlon followed the example set by his father and married a Young but Miss Young was of no kin. Mahlon married, Sept. 12 1837, at Cook's Corner, now North Monroe- ville, O., Aurila (Orilla), (b. May 7 18 13, at Rochester, Vt., died, Feb. 23 1898, at Collins, O.), daughter of Josiah and Mary (Barden) Young. (Norwalk, O. rec. Vol. 1, Old Series, and Gravestone). An obituary in the Norwalk, O. "Chronical," Feb. 24 1898, reads: "In Nov. 1836 Orilla Young's parents, Josiah and Mary, with their family of 4 boys and 5 girls set out on an exploring expedition intending to find a home in the then far West. Their route was from Rochester, Vt. to Whitehall, N. Y., to Albany, thence by the Erie Canal to Buffalo. From there sailing in the schooner Virginia on Lake Erie to Huron, O. from which point they drove to North Monroeville, in Ridgefield township, Huron Co., arriving there on a Satur- day evening. On looking around for a place to spend the night, they met Mr. Young; although bearing the same name, they were of no kin. Mr. Young provided accommodations. Finding this a desirable location, the father purchased a farm adjoining that of Noah Young, and about a year later Orilla married Mahlon, the son, at the home of the bride. The cere- mony was performed by Squire Daniel Sherman, uncle of General John Sherman. In 1840, they purchased a home and moved to East Townsend and in i860, they moved to Collins, O." Mahlon bought his farm at Townsend, Feb. 13 1834. It was on the main road from Monroeville to Sandusky (Norwalk, O. rec. Vol. 13). The compiler had the privilege in his boyhood days of seeing his great grandmother Anna Young in the home of his grandparents Mahlon and Orilla. See Rec. 298.

Government in 1941 took over this cemetery and neighboring property for war purposes and moved the bodies to Bogart cemetery, near Sandusky, O. The family homesteads (bought at the close of the War of 181 2 from the Rev. Mr. Beattie who purchased the land from the Firelands Co. and lived on until 1941) had to be vacated. Perkins township was named after the Hon. Elias Perkins of New London, Conn. Julius House and Wm. R. Beebe bought land in Perkins about 181 5. Mr. House and family with some 15 other families from Connecticut settled at Perkins and laid out a street which they called Yankee St. Records left by the pioneers describe the prairies as covered with thick grass so tall that a man on a horse could tie the grass over the top of his head. Deer were common and would come into the yards and lick the salt barrels. It was not uncommon to get 400 bushels of potatoes to the acre. It took six yoke of oxen to plow through the grass. Our clothing was homemade. We raised the flax, dressed, spun and wove it into cloth. ("Reminiscences," by Truman B. Taylor, at the 1864 Meeting of the Firelands Hist. Soc, Perkins, O.).

(Elbert Storer, Jacksonville, Fla.). Wilson Storer, brother of Susannah, married near West Union, O., Jane McKown, a daughter of Robert and Jane (McGarah) McKown, widow of John Young (Record #31). Lucinda Storer, sister of Susannah, married Amos Young. This marriage united the Daniel Young family of West Union, O. to that of Morgan Young of the same place. Amos was a son of Thomas and Mary (Finley) Young and a grandson of Daniel who served from New Jersey in the Revolution and later moved to Adams County, O. ("History of Adams County, O.," Evans & Stiver). Noah and Susannah Young had nine children, from one of whom, Nancy Belle, the compiler personally secured much of this data.

"Ivory," as John was familiarly called, moved his family in 1878 from his farm at Black's Ripple, Ohio Brush Creek, Adams County, O., to Iona, Jewell County, Kansas but returned to near West Union, O. the next year. The Rev. Andrew Losey Young, West Union, who lived in the family until he was 14 years old, accompanied them to Kansas in their schooner wagon. He says the trip took over six weeks. John married, near West Union, Sarah Belle Young, born, July 21 1829, West Union, died in 1885. Sarah B. Young, daughter of John and Mary (McKenzie) Young, and granddaughter of Daniel Young, by her marriage united two pioneer Young families in Adams County, O. Presumptive evidence indicates that Daniel Young, a soldier of the Revolution in New Jersey ("History of Adams County, Ohio," Evans & Stiver) was a son of Thomas and Thankful 88 OUR YOUNG FAMILY (Robarts) Young, of Pequannock, N. J., and a first cousin of Morgan Young, near whom he settled in Adams County, O. Proof of this relation- ship is impossible because of the incomplete records in New Jersey and Ohio. Daniel Young, son of Thomas, of Pequannock, N. J., was born in 1757 according to H. D. Vail ("N. Y. Gen. & Biog. Record, 1878) but this is an obvious error in view of the date given for the birth of his brother Morgan. Daniel, of West Union, when he married, Aug. 23 1825, Dorcas Coonrod, widow of John, for his second wife, said that he was 64 years old ("The Village Register," Aug. 25 1825, W. U., Ohio). John Coonrod and family were neighbors of Daniel and Morgan Young in Fallowfield town- ship, Washington Co., Pa. in 1790 (Census report). John and Sarah had 7 children (Joseph A.

FIFTH GENERATION 105 1 1 o TRYPHENA YOUNG born, April 27 1836, at Mt. Gilead, O., died, May 2 19 14, and was buried beside her husband in Rose Hill cemetery, Chicago, 111. She was a Charter member of the Chicago Woman's Club. She married, at Unionville, 111., Jan. 13 1859, Willis F. Johnson, born, March 4 1834, at Big Stream Point, on Seneca Lake, N. Y., died March 26 191 o, at Chicago, 111. Mr. John- son, at the age of 10 years, was taken by his parents to Palatine, Whiteside County, 111. He completed his schooling by graduating from Waukegan Academy in 1885, and then entered the grain and lumber business of S. H. McCrea & Co. of which he soon became a partner. The firm was a mem- ber of the Chicago Board of Trade and when increased business called for his presence in Chicago, Mr. Johnson, in 1873, moved his family there to continue his activities until he retired in 1906. The partnership of McCrea & Co. was dissolved in 1883, Mr. Johnson then taking over the Morrison branch and placing it in charge of his brother-in-law, Aaron N. Young and establishing a new firm of W. F. Johnson & Co. in Chicago. Later Mr. Young joined Mr. Johnson in Chicago and the Morrison branch of the business was placed in the hands of Matthew Potter (Record #203). The unusual respect and esteem in which Mr. Johnson was held by his friends and colleagues in business is illustrated by the exceptional honor paid him on his 70th and 75th birthdays by his fellow members of the Board of Trade when they stopped all business procedure, called him on the floor and pre- sented him with American Beauty Roses, one for each year of his life. Mr. Johnson shunned the urging of his friends to assume public office but de- lighted in helping needy boys and girls secure a good education and fit them- selves for these duties. Geniality, uprightness and generosity were his out- standing characteristics. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson had two children. (Miss Anna B. Johnson, Chicago, 111.). i. Wealthy May, born, Nov. 30 1859, m Whiteside County, 111., is living, 1945* in Chicago. She married, Oct. 7 1885, James William Ferry, at Chicago, 111. Mr. Ferry was born, March 1852, died, March 21 1897, an ^ was buried in Graceland cemetery, Chicago. He was a nephew and namesake of William Ferry who founded and endowed "Ferry Hall" school for girls at Lake Forest, 111. He also assisted in founding and was the first President of the old Commercial Bank of Chicago, which later consolidated with the Continental Bank, predecessor of the Continental Na- tional Bank and Trust Company. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson had no children. ii. Anna Blanche, was born, March 5 1869, in Whiteside io6 OUR YOUNG FAMILY County, 111., and is living with her sister in Chicago, 111. Miss Johnson for some years was an active member of the Chicago Women's Club of which her mother was one of the first members. She also was President of the Young Fortnightly Club for three terms refusing a fourth to make room for new blood. 1 1 1 AARON NELSON YOUNG born, April 3 1838, near Morrison, 111., died, Dec. 6 191 8, at Evanston, 111. and was buried in Rosehill Cemetery, Chicago, 111. Mr. Young, after a short business career at Morrison, 111., became a member of the brokerage firm of S. H. McCrea & Co. of Chicago, and moved his family there. Later, the family made their home in Evanston where Mr. Young was a Trustee of Northwestern University, a Member of the Board of Education, and, for several years, its President. An "Appreciation" and a "Tribute" to Mr. Young are appended to this record. They are witnesses to the pionering interests, personal worth and social sense which he inherited from his father and grandfather. What Mr. Young inherited, he cultivated, and then, in life and in death, handed down to his beloved young people. The substantial scholarship fund that Mr. Young gave to Northwestern University for the use of needy students was in memory of his two sons, Albert and Paul, who died while students at Yale and Northwestern Universities, respectively. Mr. Young married, March 26 1867, at Sterling, 111., Anna Maria Corell, born, March 5 1843, * n New York State, died, April 6 1930, in the home of her son, Senator Sanborn Young, at Los Gatos, Calif. She was the daughter of Joseph and Maria (Sanborn) Corell, and a niece of William A. Sanborn, born, Jan. 13 1832, at Perrysburgh, Cattaraugus County, N. Y., and moved to Sterling, 111. in 1852. Joseph and Maria Corell were married, May 29 1839, and lived many years in Portland, N. Y. before moving to Brockton in the same State. Joseph was born Dec. 21 18 14 and died in the summer of 1895. His wife died July 4 1850. Their children were: Fanny Jane, b. Feb. 26 1840; Anna Maria, b. March 5 1843; Worthy Joseph, b. Feb. 26 1845, d. Nov. 20 1848; and Worthy A. Corell, b. Sept. 9 1848.

Club unanimously ordered spread upon its records: "The passing away of Aaron N. Young, Jan. 6 191 8, has produced a profound and general sorrow among the members of the Evanston Club. Although one of the earlier and older members, Mr. Young was always youthful in spirits, a congenial companion and a sincere friend. He was devoted to the Club and took a leading part in all its activities. He loved its atmosphere and its work; In its games of diversion, he was a genuine sports- man, keen of enjoyment and always a generous and considerate opponent. He loved life and chose the best of it, in its seriousness and in its play. In return his associates loved him with an affection inspired by his generous, kindly and chivalrous nature. In the passing of Mr. Young the City of Evanston also loses a leader among that class of high minded men who did so much to establish its splendid reputation and make it so attractive in its pioneer days. With his memory will always be associated the vision of a neighborhood of segregated homes and spacious grounds; the days of unselfish community service in the interest of the schools, the village, the city, the town and everything else that was worth while. He did much and asked nothing in reward. It is with a sense of doing honor to one who deserves the highest honor that the Board of Directors unanimously unite in ordering this tribute spread upon the records." AN APPRECIATION by The Board of Trustees of Northwestern University upon the establish- ment of "The Bert and Paul Young School Fund" made possible by the bequest of $200,000.00 of Mr. Aaron N. Young: "Mr. Young's great interest in the cause of education was almost prover- bial and his special interest in the affairs of the University through many years had been evidenced in many ways and in part by his acceptance of membership on the Board of University Trustees. He had always been recognized as a friend of the Institution, had sympathized with its purposes, io8 OUR YOUNG FAMILY and had been classed among its active and efficient supporters. The cause of education was very near and dear to his heart. He ranked education as the most important and fundamental guarantee of a free and independent government. His fellow citizens had long been aware of his special interest in the development of our public school facilities, and had for many successive years availed themselves of his services on the various educational boards of the city. The splendid bequest referred to, and which was made for the purpose of assisting young men who would otherwise be unable to acquire special training for a life's work, is in entire harmony with his personal his- tory and efforts. It will constitute a permanent beneficence. In all the years to come it will aid the persevering and industrious student, and will link to- gether the memory of an honored citizen and a continuing benefaction. Most sincerely do we deplore the great loss which the whole community has sus- tained in his departure. We earnestly unite in the admiration of his genuine, sterling qualities, as a citizen, and remember with gratitude and appreciation his personal support and generous gift to the University." Signed by the Committee. 1 1 2 JACKSON BEERS YOUNG born, Nov. 17 1839, at Union Grove, near Morrison, 111., died Feb. 9 1924, and was buried at Oakland, Calif.

This compilation is deeply indebted to Sylvia for much early family history. It was she who first wrote the writer that her sister, Tryphena, visited their relatives in Ohio and brought back to Illinois an old family Bible that "was printed in the days when the f's and the s's looked alike," and in which, amongst other things, it was written that "Morgan Young arrived in America from the north of Scotland, Oct. 1 1 , 1722 at the age of nine years." The old Bible has been lost but the nota- tion was incorporated in the typewritten "Genealogy of the Daniel B. Young Family," compiled from their family records by children of D. B. Young in 1899. Sylvia married, Jan. 7 1867, at Unionville, 111., George L. Hutchinson. They lived, in 1877, in Colorado and from there moved to California.

No record gives the place or date of his birth or of his death. The first record about him in this country is at Amesbury, Mass. which originally was a part of Salisbury, and for a time was known as Salisbury Newtown. In the records of the Mass. Bay Colony the name was spelled Emsbury. The "Vital Records of Amesbury, Mass. to 1849" (Topfield, Mass. Hist. Soc, 191 3) show the marriage of Israel Young, Jan. 21 1724/5, to Martha Bettell (Bedell, Beatle, Bidle, Beetel), at Amesbury. It is possible that he was related to Israel and James Young who were residents of Exeter, N. H. in Nov. 1696, and to Israel, sr. and jr., Daniel and Jonathan Young who in 1 7 10 enlisted from Exeter for military service (Chas. H. Bell, "Hist, of Exeter, Rockingham County, N. H.," 1888). The Amesbury records give Nov. 10 1703 as the birth date of Martha Bedell, and the names of her parents as Robert (b. Jan. 5 1764, Salisbury, Mass.) and Anne (Carr) Bedell. The marriage of Robert and Anne Bedell took place at Amesbury, Nov. 11 1702. Anne Carr was the daughter of George, jr. (b. 1644) and Ann (Cotton) Carr (N. H. Hist Soc, Concord, N. H.). If these dates are authentic, as they seem to be, Major John Young, born 1 7 14 at Haverhill, Mass. could not have been the son of our Israel and Martha Bedell Young as the typescript "Young Genealogy" of Guy Scoby Rix shows him to be. (N. H. Hist. Soc, Concord, N. H.) Israel Young signed a Petition at Methuen, Mass. in 1 741 ; he was a Surveyor of Roads in 1750; he and Richard Young are on the Tax List of Salem Province in 1754; Israel Young, sr. and jr. signed a Petition at Salem, N. H. in 1759; and in 1764, Israel Young had a pew in the church at Salem for which he paid 23 Pounds Sterling ("Hist, of Salem, N. H.," Edgar Gilbert, 1907). The Salem Church was in a parish of Methuen until the final boundary between Mass. and N. H. was established; its records begin in 1739. What is shown about the children of Israel and Martha Bedell Young, unless otherwise noted, is from the Vital Records of Amesbury and Haver- hill, Mass. i. Mary, b. Aug. 20 1725, Amesbury; bapt.

Israel, son of Israel and Martha (Bedell) Young, born, Sept. I 1 731, at Amesbury, Mass. (V. R.), died at Manchester, N. H. (N. H. Hist. Soc, Concord, N. H.). He apparently married three times and is said to have had 23 sons and several daughters. He married, about 1754, Elizabeth Clark of Methuen, Mass. (V.R.). He and his father are on the Tax List of Haverhill, Mass. for 1754. He married Mary Harris in 1777 and they had a son, Joseph, born Dec. 25 1778. (Hist, of Salem, N. H., Edgar Gilbert.) Elizabeth probably was the daughter of Edward Clark, jr. and Ruth Kelly (b. Jan. 15 1736/7, at Methuen, Mass. and d. June 18 175c (V. R.). She was the twin sister of Mehitable who md. Peter Merrill. Edward Clark, jr., in 1764, lived near Policy Pond, Salem, Mass. and owned a pew, as did his father, in the Salem Church. Edward, jr. was paid for work on the Meeting House in 1739 (Hist, of Salem, Mass., E. Gilbert). Mr. Gilbert says that John Ward and Edward Clark (?sr.) in 1659 drew lots in the "Uplands of Haverhill" or the 4th division of Salem. Haverhill, Mass. was the mother town of Salem, N. H., i.e. the earlier settlers of Salem were from Haverhill. (Hist, of Haverhill, Mass., Chase, 1861). Mr. 208 OUR YOUNG FAMILY Gilbert, in his History of Salem, p. 239, shows, amongst the soldiers from Salem, Ward Clark Young ( ? Edward Clark Young) and James Young. Ruth Kelly, daughter of Abiel Kelly, of Newbury and Methuen, Mass., and Rebecca Davis, was the granddaughter of John Kelly (b. 1642) and Lydia Ames, and the great gr. daughter of John Kelly (d. 1644) who came in 1635 to Newbury from England (N. H. Hist. Soc). Israel Young was living in Derryfield Town (now Manchester), Hills- borough County, N. H. in 1790 (U. S. Census). His family then consisted of 2 males over 16, and 9 males under 16 years, and 4 females whose ages are not shown. In the Census for 1800, James, Hugh and Israel Young are the 3rd, 4th, and 5th names listed at Derryfield. Jonathan Young is also here. The family of Israel in 1800 is composed of 4 males under 10, one between 10 and 16, one between 16 and 26 and one between 26 and 45, one female is under 10, two are between 10 and 16 and one between 26 and 45. Of the many children of Israel five only have been found by the writer. The first four were children by Elizabeth Clark and the fifth by Mary Harris. 297. i.

Census of 1840 where he is listed as one of the living pension holders of the Revolutionary War. He was residing at Rochester, Vt. and his age was 87 years. An examination of his pension papers (W 18245) at the National Archives, Washington, D. C. proved him to be the writer's maternal great grandfather. Edward Clark Young, son of Israel, jr. and Elizabeth Clark was born, Oct. 10 1756, at Salem, N. H. (Town rec. Vol. 2, p. 593). Edward con- firms this date in his application for pension. He was baptized, Dec. 5 1756, in the Salem Church (Ch. rec). He died, April 2 1 841, at Rochester, Vt. Home of Josiah Young, Rochester, Vt.

DESCENDANTS OF ISRAEL YOUNG 209 (Pension papers). He married, Jan. 27 1780, at Salem, Rockingham County, N. H., Ruth Hazeltine (Hazelton) (Salem, N. H. Vital Rec). The records show that Edward Clark Young was granted a Revolu- tionary War pension, Jan. 25 1820, Vt. Agency, #16382. The last payment of pension was made at Burlington, Vt., March 16 1846, to Royal Flint (grandfather of a college classmate of the compiler!), as attorney for the pensioner. The same record shows that the pensioner had resided over 20 yrs. at Rochester, and had previously lived in Windsor, N. H. (Accounting Office, Washington, D. C). In a declaration for pension, April 10 181 8, at Rochester, Vt., E. Clark Young stated that he was 62 yrs. of age, that he lived, in IJJS1 at Salem, N. H., and that he enlisted, May 10 1775 and served 8 months in Capt. Woodbury's Company, Col. Stark's N. H. Regiment; he was at the Battles of Lexington and Bunker Hill; he re-enlisted in Dec. 1775 and served one year in the same Company; he enlisted again in June 1777 and served a year in Capt. Barnett's Company, Col. Jackson's Regiment, and was at the Battle of Bemus Heights and Stillwater, and was at the taking of Burgoyne. He was granted a pension, Jan. 25 1820, Certif. #16382, at the rate of $8.00 per month, Vt. Agency. (Nat'l Archives, Washington, D. C). Other service of the veteran is shown in the State Papers of N. H. (XVI Vol. 3, p. 257) where he is seen to have enlisted from New Salem, N. H., Aug. 31 1 78 1, to serve at West Point, N. Y. He was discharged from this service, Dec. 21 1781 (Office of the Adj. General, Concord, N. H.). The files of Revolutionary War service in the Archives of Mass. show that Ed- ward Clark Young, of New Salem (also given as of Haverhill, Salem, N. H. and Beverly, Mass.) served in various organizations, full details of which are given. It is here noted that he was 5 ft. 7 in. in stature; complexion and hair, light; eyes, blue. He arrived at Fishkill, N. Y. for service, July 4 1778. The various Census Reports from 1790 to 1840 show some of the resi- dences of Mr. Young and the make-up of his family. In 1 790 he resided in Derryfield Town, Hillsborough Co., N. H. (now Manchester) and his family consisted of one male over 16, one under 16, and five females. In 1800, the family is in Windsor, N. H. and is composed of 2 males and 3 females under 10; 3 females between 10 and 16; one male and one female between 16 and 24; and one male and one female between 24 and 45. His son, Josiah and his family, were also in Windsor at this time. The family has not been identified in the Census of 18 10. An Edward Young (and a Joseph) are listed at Stoddard, N. H. Josiah, son of E. C. Young, married at Stoddard in 1808. In 1820, Clark Youngs and wife lived at Rochester, Vt., as did also Josiah and his family. In 1840, Clark Young, Revolutionary 2io OUR YOUNG FAMILY War Veteran, aged 87, lived with his wife, between 80 and 90 yrs. of age, at Rochester, Vt. Josiah immigrated with his family to Ohio in 1836. The records of Salisbury, Mass. show that E. C. Young paid taxes there in 1785. He had property in Stoddard, N. H. in 181 1 (Register, Keene, N. H.). He made a conveyance of property in Windsor, N. H. in 181 1 (Register, Nashua, N. H.). He owned property in Windsor in 1815 (Town Clerk, Windsor, N. H.). Ruth Hazelton Young, widow of Edward Clark Young, applied for a pension, July 19 1841, at Rochester, Vt. She stated that she was 87 yrs. old, that she married E. Clark Young, Feb. 27, about 64 yrs. ago; that their oldest son, Josiah, would be about 63 yrs. old, that a second child, a girl, was born in 1780; that neither she nor her husband had kept a record of their marriage date or the names of their children. The General Accounting Office, Washington, D. C, says that Ruth was granted a pension of $40. per annum, June 24 1848, and that this was raised to $90. a year, Certificate #4631, Vt. Agency. This source adds that evi- dence was provided that Ruth Young died, June 20 1852, at Hancock, Addison Co., Vt. leaving the following known children: Mary, Sophia, Lydia, Edward and Phebe. Final payment of Ruth's pension was made Oct. 4 1852 at Montpelier, Vt. to E. Darling, as attorney for the administrator, Royal Flint. Cora B. Young (Rec. 301) filled out an Application for Membership in the D.A.R. which is in the hands of the writer. She named in this Appli- cation seven children of E. Clark and Ruth Hazelton Young, and also the spouses of all except Edward and Phebe. The names of the remaining three children, indicated by the Census of 1800, have not been found. 298. i. Josiah, b.

Phebe, There are land transactions recorded at Rochester, Vt. by Phebe, after 1836, the year that Josiah took his family to Ohio. The Census reports for Rochester show her under her maiden name. The Census report for Han- cock, Vt. in 1850 (where her mother died in 1852) lists a Martha Young, age 96, born in N. H., living with Frank and Phebe Hemenway. Was Martha a sister of Edward Clark Young? vii. Margaretta, md. Jefferson Robbins. 298 JOSIAH YOUNG is the only child mentioned by name by his parents in existing records of the family (Rec. 297). The fact that he was alive, in Ohio, apparently was unknown when the final payment of Revolutionary War pension was made to the heirs of his mother. Josiah Young was born, Feb. 27 1780, at Salem, Mass. (now Salem, N. H., which was originally a part of Old Pentucket, and which became a part of Methuen, Mass. and remained so until the N.H. boundary line was settled. Methuen was part of Old Haverhill until 1825). He died, Sept. 18 1870, at North Monroeville, O. (earlier Cook's Corner) and was buried there. His death was caused by a fall down his cellar steps. He attended church the previous Sunday. His gravestone shows the above dates and also has the following inscriptions engraved upon it: "Mary, Wife of Josiah Young, born in Stoddard, N. H., Oct. 1 1785, died Feb. 10 1880"; on a second side of the stone, "Martha W., Wife of Gardner Young, Born in Rochester, Vt., Feb. 11 1822, Died, Oct. 13 1870," "Clara A. Young, died 212 OUR YOUNG FAMILY March 5 1853, Age 2 yrs. 9 mos. 11 days," "Jennie Young, Died Feb. 10 1862"; on the third side, "Gardner Young, Born in Rochester, Vt,, Dec. 23 1 815, Emigrated to Ohio 1836, Died Nov. 18 1898," "Jessie F. Young, Died June 11 1927, Aged 69 yrs."; on the fourth side, "Sophronia Brown. Born Aug. 28 18 18, Died Aug. 22 1898." There are seven headstones in the lot, inscribed: Father, Mother, Martha, Clara, Jessie, J. Y., and M. Y. The first five are on one side, the last two, on another side of the lot. After the death of Josiah, his wife Mary lived with her son John, in whose home near Monroeville, O., she died. (Mrs. Geo. Brown, of Cleveland, O. who who has the family Bible of Josiah). The will of Josiah, made in 1867, executed at Norwalk, O., Oct. 1 1870, gave all his property to his wife, Mary. (Wills, Norwalk, O., Bk. 2). The will of Mary Barden Young, of Ridgefield Township, Huron County, O., dated, Dec. 22 1870, proved, Feb. 2 1888, at Norwalk, O., gave her household and personal goods to her five daughters, Orilla Young, Sophronia Patterson, Mary George, Martha DeWitt, and Ellen C. Mygatt, and her land, bounded by land once owned by Joseph Young (her deceased son) and by land now owned by Jonah Young (unidentified) to her seven children, Lorenzo, Orilla, Gardner, Sophronia, Mary George, Martha DeWitt, and John. Her son Reuben did not emigrate to Ohio and was probably dead. (Wills, Bk. 2, Norwalk, O.). Josiah was living in 1790 with his parents in Derryfield Town (now Manchester), N. H. (Census). There are four deeds of land to Josiah Young and six deeds and mortgages from him recorded at Keene, N. H. between 1805 and 181 1. In 1805, in a deed, Josiah gave his residence as Stoddard, Cheshire County, N. H. In 1 810, he gave his residence as in nearby Goshen. (Registry, Keene, N. H.). The U. S. Census for 18 10, in Goshen, Windsor Co., N. H., shows the family, consisting of himself, his wife, and one son. Josiah's father, Clark Young, was a resident of Stod- dard in 181 1 (Keene, N. H. rec). The Edward and Joseph Young, shown in the same Census, of Stoddard, perhaps were relatives of Josiah. Philip Bardean, father-in-law of Josiah, was a resident of Stoddard, N. H. in 18 10 (Census). Family records state that Josiah went to Rochester, Vt. about 181 2. This is confirmed by the land records at Rochester which show his first pur- chase there to have been from Thos. Bull, Oct. 30 18 14. He increased his holdings, May 30 and 31, 181 7, by two purchases totaling 67 acres from Ebenezer Sparhawk. On Feb. 29 1820, Josiah exchanged some land with David Warren (? related to John Warren, father-in-law of Gardner Young). On Nov. 7 1820, Josiah sold part of his land to Joseph Jefferson (Margaret Young, daughter of E. Clark Young married Jefferson Robbins). DESCENDANTS OF ISRAEL YOUNG 213 The land held by Josiah in 1820 is in 1943 known as the Alexander and the Frank Hubbard places. Josiah bought, Apr. 24 1830, from Isaac McAllis- ter, land that was formerly in Pittsfield, now known as the Perkins place. Reuben and Lorenzo, sons of Josiah, bought in 1830 land adjoining that of their father in Pittsfield. Josiah deeded, Jan. 1 1836, all his Pittsfield holdings to Lorenzo, and, on the same day, he deeded all his remaining property in Rochester to Larnard Atwood, receiving in exchange a mortgage for $2300.00 from Mr. Atwood, and one for $2250.00 from James M. Duinnell. On Sept. 9 1836, in preparation for his departure for Ohio, Josiah assigned these mortgages to Briggs and Tilden, local money lenders (Worth A. Shampney, Rochester, Vt.). There are land transactions re- corded at Rochester later than 1836 by Phebe Young, sister of Josiah, who was caring for their parents. The land records at Brandon, Vt. indicate that Josiah, in 181 2, made an effort to start his son Reuben in business. He bought farming land for Ruben but Reuben deeded the land back to his father the same year. Josiah and his family, except Reuben who remained in Vermont, reached Cook's Corner, Huron County, O. in the evening and sought shelter for the night in a home which proved to be that of Noah Young (Rec. 28). When they introduced themselves, Noah replied to Josiah, "That is my name, a good name, Young." Josiah, pleased by his entertainment and the look of the land, halted his covered wagons and bought land near Noah from Luman Tracy, on the main road between Monroe ville and Sandusky (Rec. Norwalk, O., Vol. 13, p. 512). In less than a year, Mahlon, son of Noah, and Orilla, daughter of Josiah, were married. They were of no kin. Two collateral lines of New Jersey Youngs were united to one from Massachusetts. Noah was a grandson and his wife was a granddaughter of Morgan Young (Rec. 2). Josiah Young was married, May 15 1808, by the Rev. Dr. Isaac Robin- son, at Stoddard, N. H., to Polly (Mary) Barden, born, Oct. I 1786, at Stoddard, N. H. (Stoddard, N. H. rec, Bk. 1, p. 135. The date does not agree with that of the gravestone. The vital records of Stoddard show the following additional children of Philip and Phebe (Bassett) Barden: Eunice, b. Aug. 4 1782; d. May 13 1785; Lucy, b. July 31 1784; Esther, b. Oct. 26 1788; Susanna, b. Oct. 9 1790; Rebecca, b. July 28 1793; Lewis, b. Oct. 11 1798; and Achsa, daughter, b. Oct. 16 1802. Philip Barden and his wife, Mary, of Walpole, Mass., deeded in 1783, to their son, Phillip, of Walpole, land in Stoddard, N. H. (Stoddard, N. H. rec). Josiah and Mary Young had ten children and they adopted one, George A. Young. All except Reuben, were born at Rochester, Vt. 299. i. Reuben, b. Apr. 15 1809, near Stoddard, N.

(Rec. 298), married, July 9 1829, Hannah Augusta Austin, born, Apr. 5 1809, daughter of Nathan Austin, jr. (1 769-1847), of Vermont (Fam. rec. of Mrs. H. J. Young). Reuben bought land in Pittsfield, now Rochester, Vt., in 1830, and in Brandon, Vt. in 1832, giving his residence as Brandon. He was a bootmaker, working in Boston, Mass., and coming home periodically for a visit. He returned in Dec. 1834 to Rochester and brought his wife a tray and set of pink luster china. On his return to Boston, he mysteriously dis- appeared. His wife moved to Worcester, Mass. where she worked to sup- port her children and searched to find Reuben, a search which she never gave up. She secured a divorce, Feb. 23 1838, and married, March 29 1840, John Emerson, jr., of Rochester, Vt. (d. 1891), a widower with two sons. The U. S. Census for 1850 of Rochester shows Augusta Young, daughter of Reuben and Hannah, age 17, living in the home of John, jr. and Hannah Emerson. Hannah A. Austin was one of 22 children, seven of whom died within a period of two years (Letter of her son, R. A. Young, Nov. 3 1887, to his daughter Lottie): Nathan; Thomas; Samuel; Betsy; Polly, md. Washburn; Melinda and Minerva Austin. Another sis- ter of Hannah was Almira Austin Hall, and a brother was Francis B. Austin. Hannah was a niece of Hannah Austin (d. aged 65 yrs. 11 mos. 5 days, buried with her husband at No. Monroeville, O.) who married John DESCENDANTS OF ISRAEL YOUNG 2^5 Warren, d. July 27 1853, aged 57 yrs. 9 mos. 10 days. Gardner Young, brother of Reuben, was guardian of the minor children of John and Hannah Warren (Norwalk, O. rec).

H. rec). He died in 1884 and was buried in Union Cemetery, Whiteford Center, Mich. He owned a farm in Vermont until 1 84 1 (Rochester, Vt. rec). His last purchase there was from his father, Jan. 1 1836 (Rec. 298). When he emigrated to Ohio he settled at Enterprise, in Huron County. He married, 1st., June 17 1835, at Tun- bridge, Vt., Hannah Button (Burlington, Vt. rec), the Rev. James Camp- bell performing the ceremony. Lorenzo gave his residence as Rochester, Vt. He married, 2nd., in Huron County, O., a widow, Lena (Mackey) Stan- bury ( 1 823-1 890), of Sandusky, O. She had two children, Byron and Frances Stanbury (md. James Shelton). Mrs. Young was a sister of Judge Mackey of Sandusky, O. Lorenzo moved his family from Ohio to White- ford Center, then called Bugtown because of its many fire-flies. Lorenzo and Hannah had one child, Lois. He and Lena had four children. i. Lois, born in Vermont, was under 5 in 1840 (U. S. Cen- sus). She md.

Born, Dec. 23 1 81 5 at Rochester, Vt., he died, Nov. 18 1898, in his home at Monroeville, O. A Norwalk, O. newspaper reported that "a vast concourse attended the funeral service in his home, amongst those present being his son Henry, from Oxford, Kan., his son Albert, from Holyoke, Colo., and his brother-in-law James L. Young, from New Haven, O. The service was conducted by the Rev. E. T. Hagerman, of Norwalk, the Rev. Mr. Knapp, of Monroeville, and the Rev. B. J. Mills, of New London, O." On his gravestone in the cemetery at No. Monroeville, O., it is inscribed that he emigrated to Ohio in 1836 from Vermont (Rec. 298). Gardner returned from Ridgefield, Huron Co., O. to Vermont to marry a companion of his youth to whom he had been engaged for ten years. He was married by the Rev. Daniel Warren (? related to his wife), at Roches- ter, Vt., Sept. 6 1847, to Martha Warren (Rochester, Vt. rec). Martha, daughter of John (1 795-1 853 No. Monroeville, O.) and Hannah (Austin) Warren, born, Feb. 11 1822, at Rochester, Vt., was killed, Oct. 13 1870, when thrown from a buggy by a runaway horse near the DeWitt home in Monroeville, O. (Mrs. Geo. G. Brown, Gates Mill, O.). Martha's sister Julia married Col. Leonard F. Ross, in Ohio. A son of Col. Ross married Rose, daughter of James L. Young (Rec. 163), and made thereby a double alliance of the Warren-Young families. Gardner and Martha had eight children, all born at No. Monroeville, O. i. Henry Josiah, b. Aug. 28 1848, d.

Her headstone bears the dates, "1885-1916." She attended Southwestern College, Winfield, Kan. The family lived some years at Oxford, Kan. moving from there to Calif, about 1910 ("Lewisiana," Vol. 15, #773, N. Y. Pub. Libr.). What happened to Henry's substantial properties (and those of his brothers and sisters) is a sorry tale in the Courts of Southern Calif. In Henry's case, there was not enough left to erect a headstone to his memory! ii. Clara A., b. July 20 1850, d. March 5 1853 ( Rec - 2 9 8 )- DESCENDANTS OF IS RAEL YOUNG 2£7 iii.

Nov. 15 1939, at Los Angeles, Calif, where she went from Ohio in 1891, and where she taught in the Public Schools for many years before retire- ment. In Sept. 1939, the writer called on Cora and re- ceived valuable family records, elsewhere recorded in this work. He also was told how "she been tricked out of her property and her legal rights in her brother's (Charles S.) property." "An exceptional character and teacher," says W. R. Roalf, a former student, now Librarian of Duke Law School. viii. Charles Sumner, born in 1868, died in Sept. 1925, at Gore, Okla. where he was buried until 1 941 when his remains were removed to Forest Lawn Cemetery, Glendale, Calif, and placed beside those of his sister Cora. He did not marry. His will which disposed of a substantial fortune (some 70% interest in over 1400 acres of oil land in and around Bakers- field, Calif, included) was declared invalid because of having 2i8 OUR YOUNG FAMILY been made but a few days before his death and because more than one third was left to chanty. For many years Mr. Young was interested in the welfare of our Indians and at the time of his last sickness was perfecting a "Clara Barton Sequoyah Foundation," to which he meant to leave most of his wealth and at the same time memorialize his long and intimate friendship with Clara Barton. (See "Clara H. Barton," Wm. E. Barton). Mr. Young's beloved In- dians and his natural heirs received little when the legal wranglings were over (See Bakersfield, Calif. Court rec- ords). Charles Sumner Young graduated from Ohio Wesleyan Univ. and received his Ph.D. degree at Johns Hopkins Univ., Baltimore, Md. He left Ohio to settle at Reno, Nev. where he began a literary, educational and political career which he continued while engaged in pioneering in the oil business in which he became an expert and a successful operator. He left Ohio in 1877 and became State Superin- tendent of Public Instruction of Nevada in 1883, a position he held until 1886. His activities in this office are recorded in the State's Journals. By wide travelling, study and his writings, Mr. Young became known for his efficiency. A result of this was his election, 1886-7, as President of the Nat'l. Education Soc. In 1887, he moved to Southern California where he became a pioneer expert in the develop- ment of the Kern river oil district. He spent some time in Mexico assisting in the development of the oil fields there. Later he turned to literature, writing, and in efforts to better the welfare of the Indians. The latter work took him often to Washington and the offices of the Department of the Interior. In 191 5, he moved to Gore, Okla. where he' ended an energetic and successful life. "On Memorial Day, 191 7, Col. Charles Sumner Young, of Gore, Okla., gave an address on the life of Clara Barton in memorial hall, Oxford, Kan., under the auspices of the local G.A.R. post. His address was an eulogy surpassing anything ever heard in Oxford on a woman the town delights to honor" (Newspaper clipping).

J., was one of a family of eight children whose parents and birth dates are unknown. Three Items in the will of his brother John (Rec. #1) partially identify him. Our fur- ther identification of Robert is based on the fact that his family were Quakers and that our Young family was the sole Quaker family in N. J. with the name Young. The first Item in John Young's will makes Robert the father of James Young; another Item calls by name two other sons, Morgan and Robert Young, Records 314-316; and a third Item reads as if Robert may have had more than these three children: "I give and bequeath to each and every of the children of my brother Robert. . . ." No descendant of Robert has been found. Robert Young, sr., in 1768, owned property adjoining that of John Losey, of "Mendom" (Morristown, N. J. record). This record read in the light of information contained in road surveys and maps at Morristown indicates to the compiler that our Robert Young was he who lived next to John Losey. The property of Robert Young adjoined that of a Mrs. Losey as shown on the map of J. B. Shields, published 1853. This property is mentioned in a report of road surveys at Morristown under Road A-55 ( 1 769) : "This road began at an apple tree near Robert Young's dwelling (near Shongum Lake) and ended on a road that leads from Mor- gan Young's to Schooley's Mill. The earliest property Deed abutting the beginning point of this road is one from John Phillips to Silas and Daniel Young (H-70 (1799). Daniel Young received part of this land in Deed F-2i4(i8o2), in which John Phillips said that he bought the land from James Young." Silas and Daniel were sons of James Young, and James was the son of Robert Young. Unless there were two families with these same several names who were Quakers, the above Robert Young of the survey was our Robert Young. James Young, at the proving of the will of John Losey, sr., July 2 1765, witnessed as Quakers did, by affirmation, while Nathaniel Mitchell witnessed by oath. Jane Losey, daughter of John, sr., married Morgan Young, jr. (Rec. 9). The tax list of Mendham, Morris County, N. J. shows the names of Robert Young, sr. and Robert Young, jr. Their names appear in a sequence of our Youngs, suggesting that their properties adjoined. (State Lib., Trenton, N. J.) The deed records at Morristown, N. J. show that Jonas and Phebe Phillips bought 230 acres of land from James Young, which they sold, May 14 1799, to Silas and Daniel Young, with James Young as witness, and also that Daniel sold his share of the land to Silas in 1802. The execu- tors of Silas Young who left $200.00 to be used in erecting a stone fence around the yard of the Randolph (Quaker) Meeting House were Lewis GENERATIONS OF ROBERT YOUNG 231 Loree and John Lewis Carrell. They sold the property of Silas, Oct. 6 1863, to John Mott. Record 317. Family records give Mary as the first name of Robert Young's wife. Her family name is unknown. Robert and Mary may have been the par- ents of Jean, wife of Asher Lyon, legatee of John Young (Rec. 1), and of Sarah Young, Quakeress, who with Nathan Simcock and William Schooley witnessed the first Deed by which Robert Schooley sold to James Brotherton and Jacob Laing land at Mine Hill, in 1758, on which to build the Quaker Meeting House. ("Hist, of Dover," p. 425, Chas. D. Piatt). Perhaps it was this Sarah Young who married, Dec. 2 1769, Isaac Hatheway. James and Robert Young witnessed, March 10 1786, the will of Isaac Hatheway. An effort to identify Elizabeth Young who married Robert Schooley, Feb. 1 7 1747, failed. The known children of Robert and Mary Young were: 314. i. James, b. July 8 1738 315. ii. Morgan 316. iii. Robert 314 JAMES YOUNG was the first legatee of his uncle John Young (Rec. 1). A part of his record is shown under that of his parents, Record 313. He was born, July 8 1738, in Mendham township, Morris County, N. J. He married Sarah Benjamin, born, April 5 1742. They had 8 children. i. Mary, b. Jan. 4 1765, d. 1771 ii. Kesea, b.

Lewis, b. Apr. 8 1779 315 MORGAN YOUNG is named in the will of his uncle John Young (Rec. 1) as the son of Robert and the brother of James and Robert Young, jr. Nothing more is definitely known about Morgan. Three of the four Morgan Youngs mentioned in the will of John Young are listed in the tax list for 1785 of Mendham, N. J. (State Lib., Trenton). These three are identified as: (1) Morgan, husband of Elizabeth Mills, Wagon-master during the Revolution; (2) Morgan, jr., husband of Jane Losey, private in the Revolution; and (3) Morgan, son of 232 OUR YOUNG FAMILY Thomas Young, of Pequannock, N. J. Morgan, son of Robert, may have been he who is listed as a sergeant during the Revolution in the Office of the Adjutant General at Trenton, N. J. He received Depreciation pay, in May 1784, for service in the Morris County Militia with the Continental Troops. A widespread exodus of the Youngs and allied families (Jackson, Losey, Carrel, Hatheway, Lyon, Bryant, Dalrymple etc.) from N. J. to Pennsyl- vania and Ohio began shortly after the Revolution. Morgan, son of Robert Young, may be he who appears on the tax list of Catawissa township, North- umberland County, Pa., in 1786 and 1787. The tax list shows him as having 30 acres in 1786, and 300 acres in 1787. (State Archives, Harrisburg, Pa.). His family in 1790 consisted of himself and wife, 1 son over 16, I son be- tween 10 and 16, and 2 daughters. The U. S. Census for 1800 shows the family as living in Fishing Creek township, Northumberland County, Pa. No descendants are known. Robert Young, Rec. 8, states in his application for a pension in 1 829 that most of his relatives have gone to N. Y. State and Ohio. Morgan Young, jr., Hercules, John and Silas Young were in Washington County, Pa. when the first Census was taken, 1790. The latter three signed a Petition in Fallowfield township in 1784 (State Archives, P.R.P., Vol. 23, p. 65, Harrisburg, Pa.). Our subject does not appear in the 1810 census for Pennsylvania. 316 ROBERT YOUNG, JR. son of Robert and Mary, married, Jan. 1 1767, Elizabeth Morris, according to the "Combined Register of the 1st Presbyterian Church, Morristown, N. J." The same record shows the baptisms of 3 of their children: An unnamed child, b. 1769; Hannah, b. June 2 1773; and Joseph born July 3 1775. No further record has been found. This Robert Young may have been the Captain Robert Young, under whom Morgan, son of Thomas Young, of Pequannock, and James Young (Rec. 7) claim in their pension applications to have served during the Revolution. 317 SILAS YOUNG Quaker, was born, Feb. 20 1773, in that part of Mendham which became Randolph township, Morris county, N. J. His will, dated, March 7 1862 (Bk. H, p. 353, Morristown, N. J.), leaves legacies to his wife Margaret, to his executors, and a sum of $200.00 to erect a stone wall around the Randolph Meeting House, on the outskirts of Dover, N. J. His executors, GENERATIONS OF ROBERT YOUNG 233 Lewis Loree, of Mendham, and John L. Carrell, of Randolph, sold his land on the road from Shongum to Openeka Lake to John Mott by order of the Orphans Court, Oct. 6 1863 (Bk. O, 6, p. 118, Morristown, N. J.). The U. S. census for 1850 of Randolph, Morris county, N. J. shows that household No. 300 was composed of Silas and Margaret Young, and John Mott. Dr. Frank J. Tone in his "Hist, of the Tone Family," Niagara Falls, N. Y., 1942, suggests that Margaret Tone, daughter of Thomas and Content (Hance) Tone, married Silas Young, in view of the fact that Mar- garet Young and John Mott, jr. were the executors of the will, dated, March 8 1825, proved, June 25 1825, of Content Hance Tone. Nancy Hance, b. 1800, md. 182 1, Charles Dalrymple, son of Robert and Mary (Young) Dalrymple. John Lewis Carrell was a grandson of Daniel Carrel (spelled Carral, in his will, and Carle, in his land deeds), who married Margaret Young, sister of Robert, Record 313. Charles S. Carrell, of Morristown, N. J., nephew of Eugene A. Carrell, (1 852-1 942) grandson of Daniel and Mar- garet Carrell, supplied the following story told by Eugene Carrell in 1932 and printed at that time in the Morristown "Daily Record": EUGENE A. CARRELL Tells Story Told Him by Silas Young Who Knew George Washington Personally 'Eugene A. Carrell remembers as a boy Silas Young of Shongum telling him of a personal experience with George Washington. At the time Young was about 8 years of age and faced a life which ended when he was in his nineties. (89 to be accurate). This story, never before published, is impor- tant as adding another sidelight on the character of the Father of his Country and also evidences that Shongum might still have had a Washington's Head- quarters had not the house fallen into decay and been torn down. Stone from the foundation was used in the building of a gardener's house for Hubert M. Schott which burned in 1930 and other stones were used in edging the driveway and forming the rock garden at his Shongum place. Mr. Carrell on this Bicentennial year visited the site and has written of the episode as follows: "The story that always gave Silas Young, of Shongum, much pleasure to tell his friends was of the time when he, as a little boy, slept with Wash- ington. The writer remembering to have heard this story from Mr. Young now desires to give an account of the same and of the attending circumstances of the interesting event so that the incident may not entirely fade way from mind and memory. cc- 234 OUR YOUNG FAMILY "The writer in his boyhood days lived with his parents on a good sized farm in the central section of Randolph Township, Morris County. This farm was part of a large tract of land purchased by his ancestors in 1732 (Rec. 319), the Deed for the same being a large and very curious document of the "Defender of the Faith" style. In the early 1860's, my father, the late John L. Carrell, occasionally visited Silas Young, a friend and kinsman, who had requested that he do so that he might consult him as to the affairs of his farm which was situated at Shongum, in the Southeastern section of Randolph township. Mr. Young's farm was a large one which with his advancing years was causing him much concern in its management. Mr. Young was born in 1772 (? ) and so was nearly if not quite 90 years of age in the early 1860's. Sometimes when my father went to see Mr. Young, I was allowed to accompany him. The great stone house in which Mr. Young lived, with its colonial type of construction, also the great stone fire- place and chimney was most interesting to me, besides seeing the people whom we met there. I shall never forget about it all. On one occasion which was, as I recall, a very hot afternoon in summer, I went with my father, and as we rode along, he talked with me about Mr. Young, who, he said, could remember George Washington and that he had when a little boy of about 8 years slept with him. As I kept asking my father questions, he finally told me that if Mr. Young seemed to be well enough, he would ask him to tell me the whole story, which pleased me greatly. When we reached Mr. Young's home, we entered the great door yard and found him sitting under the shade trees some of which were black walnut. We sat down and for some time he talked with my father about his farm affairs. When we were about to leave my father said to Mr. Young that he thought Eugene would enjoy very much hearing his Washington story. This seemed to please Mr. Young and he told me the story which was as follows: "It was during the winter of 1779-80 when Washington's Army was encamped in and about Morristown and the General was occupying the Ford mansion as his headquarters. These were dark days for Washington and for his soldiers and for the American cause. There was little food, clothing, money which meant much suffering and hardship to be endured, and in which all were obliged to share. The situation was pitiful. It became necessary at once and all through the time that Washington and his Army remained in Morristown for the officers to go out into the countryside search- ing for food, clothing and whatever else could be found to sustain the en- camped army. In the northern section of Mendham, now Randolph, township there were found quite a number of families who were members of the Society of Friends who were thrifty folk with something to divide, and so they were GENERATIONS OF ROBERT YOUNG 235 often visited and much feed, hay and grain and other necessities were pro- cured from them by the food searching parties. Upon such an errand Gen- eral Washington, with the usual escort, set out from his headquarters on a lowery and threatening afternoon. When the company reached Nicky Brook, at Shongum, a great storm broke but the company kept pressing on and soon came to the farm house of Robert Young (Silas Young's father) who, when he saw the horsemen, went out and called to them to take the horses to the barn and for the men to come into the house until the storm had spent its fury. This the General and his staff gladly did. As the after- noon passed the storm increased in violence. When supper time came Mrs. Young prepared the best she had for her guests and invited them to partake of it with the family. After supper, as the storm continued, and they found broken limbs of trees on the road, Mr. Young advised General Washington not to think of going back to Morristown in such a storm and said that he and his company would be quite welcome to stay with them and they would care for them to the best of their ability. After a pleasant evening by the fireside, talking about the war and its trials, bed time came and with it the problem of placing the visitors so that all would be comfortable. Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Young's family was not a small one, this was accomplished. Mr. Young was report- ing this fact to Washington and was showing him the room he was to occupy when they saw little Silas standing quite near, and his father said to him, "Why Silas, could you not find a place to sleep? Well, well, I must see to that," but before he could add anything, Washington seeing the situation, said to Mr. Young, "Let the little boy come with me." And so it came about that Silas Young could always tell that, when a boy of 8 years, he had slept with Washington. And how great was his pleasure all through his long life to be telling others of this event! When the morning came and the storm had subsided, and having breakfasted with Mr. and Mrs. Young, thanking them for all their kindness, Washington and his company returned to Morris- town." "As our country is celebrating this year the 200th anniversary of the birth of Washington and everything he ever said or did is being told and retold, it seemed to be an appropriate time to tell this story." Signed: Eugene A. Carrell. Morristown, N. J., Aug. 4 1932. The Morristown records make James Young (Rec. 314), from whom John Phillips bought land at Shongum, the father of Silas who died in 1862. Robert Young was the grandfather of Silas. 236 OUR YOUNG FAMILY 318 MARY YOUNG Quakeress, was a sister of John (Rec. 1). John Young made a bequest "to each and every of the children of my sister Mary" and he mentioned by name one of her children, "John Miller, son of Adam Miller." Mary's marriage, Sept. 6 1746, to Adam Miller in the Quaker Meeting, at Wood- bridge, N. J., together with the names and birth dates of their children, was transcribed by H. D. Vail from the Rahway-Plainfield Quaker records in the "N. Y. Genealogical & Biog. Record," July 1879, p. 142. The same records show the marriage, in 1747, of Elizabeth Young to Robert Schooley.

J. was a bondsman, Dec. 25 1796, to the estate of Michel Rider, and helped with the Inventory (Wills, N. J. Archives). Adam Miller, Sept. 19 1761, on behalf of the heirs of Thomas Harts- horn, sold to Thomas Young, 63 acres of land in Morris City, on Beaver Brook, a branch of the Rockaway river (Rec, Morristown, N. J.). Members of the N. J. allied families, Miller, Young, Losey, Dunham, Denman, Beers, Pierson and Talmage, emigrated to the present sites of Mansfield, Mt. Vernon, and Mt. Gilead, Ohio, and were pioneering neigh- bors. Catherine Beers Talmage (Rec. 42) writes of a contemplated visit to Nancy (Losey) Miller, a great granddaughter of James Puff Losey, an administrator, with Adam Miller, of the estate of John Young. Jacob Miller, husband of Nancy, was the son of Abraham and Catherine (Den- man) Miller. Daniel Miller married Elizabeth Young (Rec. 15). Silas Miller bought land from Jacob Young, June 13 1837 (Rec, Marion, O.). GENERATIONS OF MAR GARET YOUNG 237 319 MARGARET YOUNG The parents of Margaret, her birth, marriage and death dates are un- known. John Young (Rec. 1) left legacies to "the children of my sister Margaret," and named without identifying five of the children: "I give the three daughters of Daniel Carryl, viz. — to Mary, to Peggy, and to Hannah five pounds each," and "I give to Daniel and to Hercules Carryl, sons of Daniel Carryl, to each of them, the sum of ten pounds." The spellings of the name Carrell in the various documents quoted are retained here. The memorial stone to Daniel and Margaret Carrell in the churchyard of the Friends Meeting House, Dover, N. J. was erected by their descendants, Eugene A. and Martin B. Carrell. The latter's widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Bryant Carrell is living, 1947, near Dover, N. J., on a part of the old Carrell homestead, and has aided much in completing this record. "Daniel Carrell came to America from Northern Ireland in 1730, set- tling in Virginia. In 1732 he purchased land near Dover, N. J., where his descendants held the homestead in 1902. He married Margaret Young. Mary Carrell, born in 1753, was one of seven children. She married Moses Kerr. G.M." (Gen. Col. #2843, Newark Evening News, Sept. 18 1809). The initials G. M. are those of Gertrude Moodey, great granddaughter of Moses and Mary (Carrell) Kerr. Mrs. Martin B. Carrell recently gave to her cousin, Charles S. Carrell, of Morristown, N. J., what seems to be the original deed of purchase by Daniel Carrell. Through the kindness of Mr. Carrell we are able to quote from the deed. It is dated "the first day of Dec. in the 10th year of the reign of George the Third, Anno 1770." By the deed, "Daniel Carle, of Mendom, in Morris County, in East Jersey, purchased from Samuel Smith, of Burlington, West Jersey, and Joseph Pemberton, of Philadelphia, Pro- vince of Pennsylvania, part of Lot 7 (Center Grove, N. J.), beginning at a white oak tree at a corner of Morgan Young's land . . . thence to a heap of stones being a corner of Morgan Young's land . . . thence to the white oak the place of beginning, containing 254 acres, being part of the land surveyed unto Joseph Kirkbride." Margaret Young was a sister of Mor- gan (Rec. 2). Her marriage to Daniel Carrell seems to have been a mar- riage of neighbors. In a "History of Morris County, N. J.," published, 1882, by W. W. Munsell, N. Y., under "Randolph Township," it is written that "a family by the name of Youngs, consisting of Robert, Mitchell, and John Youngs, settled on a farm west of the Carrell property where Lawrence Dalrymple now (1882) lives, but they left no descendants in the township." John Young (s) bought the property of his father Morgan, which the above deed shows adjoined the Carrell land. Mitchell Young was the son of John. 238 OUR YOUNG FAMIL Y Robert Young probably was he with whom John and N. Mitchell Young quarreled (Rec. 4). The will of Daniel Carral (Trenton, N J., 648-N) dated, Oct. 8 1785, was proved, Jan. 17 1786, at Morristown, N. J., by the testimony of John and Hannah Young, and Letters of Administration were granted, Feb. 3 1786, to James Carrell. Nathan Simcock, John and Hannah Young were witnesses to the will. The executors were "my trusty friend John Brotherton and my son James." The Inventory appraised, Feb. 3 1786, by Hartshorn Fitz Randolph and Isaac Hance, was made up "the 13th day of the 1st month, 1786." Daniel does not mention his wife in his will. She probably was dead. He lists eight children: James, whom he calls his eldest son, is given the house in which Daniel is living, his loom and the tackling thereunto belonging, and a part of the plantation. The rest of his home plantation is bequeathed to his three sons, Thomas, Daniel, and Hercules Carrel. Thomas is to have that part of the plantation on which he is living, Daniel and Hercules to share the remaining part. Daniel leaves 5 shillings to his daughter Elizabeth. His moveable estate is to be sold, his debts paid, and the balance is to be equally divided between his daughters, Mary, Han- nah, and Sarah. Peggy Carryl, called daughter of Daniel by her uncle John Young, does not appear under this name in the will of Daniel. Daniel Carrell, Morgan Young and Nathan Simcock witnessed the will of Thomas Young, brother of John (Rec. 1) and Margaret Young Carrell. Eugene A. Carrell, in a family letter dated June 3 1 920, listed the chil- dren of Daniel and Margaret Carrell. He omitted Elizabeth and Hannah and added John to the list in the will of Daniel. i. James, is called "my eldest son" in Daniel's will, ii. Daniel, b. Aug. 30 1745, d. Oct. 19 1838, md. Jane Clut- ter, b. Mar. 13 1765, d. Feb. 22 1845, daughter of William and Mary (Niblack) Clutter.

Silas Young was a brother-in-law of Hannah Kerr who md. Thomas Carrell. Descendants of Thos. and Hannah Carrell spelled their name Carroll. Kerr's Mill, now Fredericktown, O. re- ceived its name from a member of this family. Moses and Mary Kerr had six children (Miss Antoinette P. Moodey, Plainfield, N.

Silas Young who was living in 1797 in Fal- lowfield township, Washington county, Pa. from where the family moved to Geauger county, O. On Oct. 30 1810, Silas and Hannah Young, of Geauger county, O. sold to Moses Carr (Kerr) his property in Washington county, Pa. Rec. Bk. I-V, p. 241, Washington, Pa.). Hercules and Thomas Carrell were witnesses to this deed. The land was warranted to Silas Young, Jan. 16 1797. viii. Sarah 320 ANNY YOUNG sister of John (Rec. 1), who made her son, John Clark, jr. one of his lega- tees, joined the Newark (Kennett) Quaker Meeting, at Kennett Square, Chester county, Pa. in 1742, and the same year in this Meeting, married John Clark (Quaker rec, Philadelphia, Pa). When the family moved to N. J. is not known. Anny's brother, Hercules, transferred from the Newark Meet- ing to the Woodbridge Meeting, N. J. in 1749. A John Clark witnessed the will (made 1749, proved 1750) of John Chapman which disposed of land in Chester county, Pa. (Wills, N. J. Archives). The Chapmans and the Clarks may have moved to N. J. about the same time (Rec. 7 shows an alliance of the Youngs and Chapmans). John and Hannah Young (Rec. 6), on Apr. 1 1788, sold land in Hanover township, Morris county, N. J., that was adjacent to the land of John Clark (Deed Bk. A, p. 355, Morris- town, N. J. John Young (wife, Hannah) was a nephew of Mrs. John Clark. John Young (Rec. 1) may have left a legacy to Nathaniel Doty because of a connection by marriage. Nathaniel Doty married, 1753, Abi- gail, daughter of Henry Clark, of Shongum and Rockaway. John Doughty (?Doty) was a witness to the will of John Young. These items are offered for someone's study. No descendant of John and Anny Clark is known. Their son, John, may have been the elder of the Rockaway Church who died, July 26 1828, and whose six children are named by J. P. Crayon, in his "Rockaway Rec- ords," p. 223. The name of John's wife is not given. 321 HERCULES YOUNG John Young, in his will (Rec. 1), twice bequeaths sums "to the children of my brother Hercules" but he does not name any of them. No descendant of Hercules has been identified. 242 OUR YOUNG FAMILY Hercules Young joined the Newark (Kennett) Quaker Meeting, Kennett Square, Chester county, Pa., July 4 1742, and in this same Meeting, he married Feb. 1745, Sarah, daughter of James Phillips (? relatives of John Phillips, Rec. 313). Hercules and Sarah transferred to the Quaker Meet- ing at Woodbridge, N. J., Jan. 4 1749. Mary (Rec. 321), sister of Her- cules, married in the Woodbridge Meeting in 1746. ("Newark Quaker Minutes, 1739-91, Ch. 12-F," Hist. Soc. of Pa., Philadelphia.) These mar- riage records of Hercules and his sister Anny contain the earliest authentic dates we have for our Young family. They suggest that our Young family were related to Morgan and Mary Young, of the Philadelphia Quaker Meet- ing, whose daughter, Mary, was born, Dec. 26 1690. ("Encyclopedia of Amer. Quaker Genealogy," Vol. 2, p. 329). Hercules Young and Benj. Hart made an Inventory, March 7 1763, of the estate of Thomas Throckmorton, of Roxbury, N. J. William Young (Rec. 3) nephew of Hercules, married Miriam (Drake) Throckmorton, widow of Thomas. Hercules was one of the earliest of our numerous kin who emigrated from New Jersey to Pennsylvania and Ohio. Hercules, John and Silas Young, in this order, signed, Nov. 5 1784, "A Petition of sundry inhabitants of the township of Fallowfield, in the county of Washington, Pa. to change the location of one Justice so that he would be more easily reached." (State Archives, Harrisburg, Pa., P.R.P. Vol. 23, p. 65). Silas Young, unidenti- fied, married Hannah Carrell (Rec. 319). John Young (Rec. 6) was the son-in-law of Abigail (Harris) Mitchell, who with her brothers Thomas, George and John Harris, emigrated from N. J. in 1787 to Washington county, Pa. John and Silas Young are listed as heads of families in Wash- ington county, Pa. in the U. S. Census of 1790, as also is Morgan Young, jr. The following items copied from the records in the Recorder's office at Chillicothe, O. may refer to the family of Hercules. In 1800, before the State of Ohio was created, the record of N. M. Young's (Rec. 14) purchase in the Northwest Territory was filed at Chillicothe. Item 1. Deed dated Nov. 1 1834. Jacob Young and Frances, his wife, of Highland County, Ohio, give a quit claim to Hercules Young, for certain land on Paint Creek, Ross County, Concord township, survey 3975. Item 2. Deed dated Dec. 15 1834. Hercules Young and Margaret, his wife, sell to George Bargle, land situated on the north fork of Paint Creek, Concord township, Ross County, Ohio. Item 3. Deed dated May 29 1852. Hercules Young and Margaret, his wife, sell to William W. Young, land in Concord township, Ross County, land granted to Thomas Patterson by the President, conveyed to John Cow- ley, conveyed to Jacob Young, on the north fork of Paint Creek, touching the land of H. Young and John Ferrel. GENERATIONS OF THOMAS YOUNG 243 Item 4. Quit claim, dated June 17 1889, given to Andrew J. Timmons (Limmons), Executor of Hercules Young, for $1.00, on land in Concord township, Ross County, by the heirs of Hercules Young, deceased, by Wil- liam W. Young and Sophia, of Westerville, Franklin County, by James and Eliza A. Young, of Westerville, by Nelson B. and Martha A. Young, of Fayette County, Ohio, by Isabella and Nancy E. Young, both single, of Frankfort, Ross County, Ohio. 322 THOMAS YOUNG Yeoman, of Pequannock, Morris County, Province of East Jersey, is the last of the immigrant eight brothers and sisters of our Young family to be recorded in this work. Like his brothers and sisters he was a Quaker. This is an all important item in that it distinguishes the early members of our family from other Young families in colonial New Jersey. The will of Thomas Young (264N, Trenton, N. J.) which follows is abstracted in the "N. J. Archives." It was "affirmed," in Quaker fashion, March 6 1769, which places the death of Thomas between this date and the date of the will, Feb. 18 1769. His executors were his "Trusty friends," James Brotherton and Thomas Carol (Rec. 319), and his witnesses were, Daniel Carol, Mor- gin Young (Rec. 2) and Nathan Simcock. He probably was buried in an unmarked grave in the yard of the Randolph Friends Meeting House, near Dover, N. J. The record of his marriage, April 19 1743, to Thankfull Robarts, is recorded in the "Combined Register of the 1st. Presbyterian Church, Morristown, N. J." The Will of Thomas Young "I, Thomas Young, of Pequannock, in the County of Morris and the Province of East Jersey, Yeoman, being very sick of body but of sound and perfect mind and memory, praises be given to Almighty God therefor: do make and ordain this my last will and testament, in manner and form fol- lowing (that is to say), First and principally, I recommend my soul to God that gave it and my body I commit to the earth to be buried in a decent and christian like manner at the discretion of my executors hereafter mentioned; and as touching the disposition of all such temporal estate as it hath pleased God to bestow upon me, I give, devise and dispose thereof in manner and form following, viz: — First, I will and do order that all my just debts and funeral charges be fully paid and discharged Item, It is my will and I do order that all my personal or moveable estate shall be sold as soon after my decease as it can conveniently be done, 244 OUR YOUNG FAMILY except one feather bed and bedding which I give to my loving wife Thankfull.

It is further my will and I do order that if my said wife marry after my decease that my executors shall sell the said home lot or if she remain my widow then the same to be sold after her decease and all my other lands wheresoever and whatsoever as soon after my de- cease as may be convenient for the advantage of my estate and the bene- fit of my children and the money my said land shall sell for to be put to interest for the use of my four sons, Thomas, Morgain, Daniel and David and paid to them in the following manner, viz: to my son Thomas, one fourth part, to my son Morgain, one fourth part, to my son Daniel, one fourth part, to my son David, one fourth part, to be paid to them sev- erally and as they arrive to the age of one and twenty years, and I do hereby authorize and impower my executors to make, do and execute any Deed or Deeds, conveyance or conveyances for my lands aforesaid as fully and as absolutely as I myself might or could do were I alive and personally present.

GENERATIONS OF THOMAS YOUNG 245 And lastly, I do make, ordain, constitute and appoint my trusty friends James Brotherton and Thomas Carol my executors of this my last will and testament, and I do hereby disannul all former and other wills by me heretofor made or expressed to be made, ratifying and allowing this and no other to be my last will and testament, in witness whereof I have here- unto set my hand and seal this eighteenth day of the month called Feb- ruary in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and sixty nine. Thomas Young his mark Signed, sealed, published, pronounced and declared by the testator to be his last will and testament in the presence of us — Daniel Carol, his mark Morgin Young Nathan Simcock Morris County, N. J. Morgan Young and Nathan Simcock two of the witnesses of the within will being [duly sworn on the Holy Evangel of Almighty God] two of the people called Quakers did severally declare and affirm that they saw Thomas Young the testator therein named sign and seal the same and heard him pronounce and declare the within testament to be his last will and testament, and at the doing thereof the said testator was of sound and disposing mind and memory as far as these affirmants know and as they verily believe and that Daniel Carol, the other subscribing evidence was present and signed his name as a wit- ness together with these affirmants in the presence of the testator.

Affirmed the seventh day of March Anno Dom. 1769 before me. Abraham Ogden, Surr. James Brotherton Thomas Carrel Mr. Hugh D. Vail, transcribing from the Woodbridge-Rahway-Plain- field Quaker records in the "N. Y. Gen. & Biog. Record" (July 1878, p. 28), lists nine of the eleven children of Thomas and Thankfull and gives their birth dates. In this transcription the names of Hannah and David are omitted, and there is obviously an error in the birth date of Morgan or Daniel. Mr. Vail notes the fact that several members of the Mendham Quaker Meeting, a branch of the Woodbridge Meeting, came from Craig- forth, Aberdeen County, Scotland. The children: day month year 323- i. Arthur, b. 10 7 1744 ii. Margaret, b. 15 4 1746 324. iii. Elizabeth, b. 27 2 1748 iv. Phebe, b. 19 9 1750 325- v. Thomas, b. 13 1 1 1752 vi. Thankfull, b. 26 4 1756 326. vii.

David John Young, in his will (Rec. 1), speaks of Thomas as "my deceased brother" and leaves a legacy to each of his children. He names two of these nephews, "Thomas Young, son of Thomas Young," and "Morgan Young, son of Thomas Young." Thomas Young, according to the records of the Proprietors of East New Jersey, Perth Amboy, made four purchases of land on the Rockaway river between 1 751 and 176 1. His first purchase, about six months after his GENERATIONS OF THOMAS YOUNG 247 brother John had bought on the Rockaway, was on the east side of the river, one mile below Jackson's forge. The second was at "Sucksunna" (Suc- casunna). The third purchase was made "at the request of the heirs of Thomas Hartshorn" from Adam Miller (Rec. 321), husband of Thomas' sister Mary. The last purchase was on the north side of the Rockaway river. Mr. T. F. Chambers ("Early Germans, and Other Early Settlers in N. J., 1893, p. 579"), writing about the "Youngs of Draketown," lists the children of Thomas as they are given in Thomas' will, and expresses the belief that Daniel, son of Thomas, probably was he who left a will dated in 1786. See Record 327. 323 ARTHUR YOUNG son of Thomas and Thankfull Young was born, July 10 1744, in Pequan- nock, Morris County, N. J. (Quaker rec). There are good reasons for thinking that he wrote the will dated, April 15 1822, which was recorded at Newton, N. J., Sept. 4 1822. The language of the testator suggests that he was a Quaker or of Quaker origin. His executors are "my son Silas and my trusty friend David King of Morris County." The will begins "Arthur Young, now of Newton, Sussex County, N. J. but late of Morris County." The witnesses to the will were: James IlifF, Isaac Struble, and John Sickles. The name of Arthur's wife is not found. She perhaps died before he went to live with his son Silas. Arthur's legacies were: "to the children of my deceased son James"; "to my daughter Hannah Little (Elias)"; "to my daughter Elizabeth Lindley"; "to my granddaughter Elizabeth Bailess"; "to my son Silas"; "to the children of my deceased son Thomas." His farm of 96 acres near Dover, Morris County, is to be sold and "payment is to be made to Silas for my keep from the time that I came to live with him." Arthur Young was amongst the Freeholders of Pequannock who pledged themselves to the Continental Congress in 1766. Like other Quakers of the area, he was a contributor to the building of the Rockaway Presbyterian Church. He sold, May 1st. 1815, property to Asa, son of Titus Berry (Rec, Morristown, N. J., Bk. II- 102). The following children were named in his will: 329. i. James, died, according to his father's will, before 1822. ii. Hannah, md. March 10 1797, Elias Little. iii. Elizabeth, md. Lindley. iv. Silas, perhaps was he who wrote the will dated, July 29 1835, recorded, Nov. 9 1835, at Morristown, N. J. His wife was Mary P. Young, and three of their children were: 248 OUR YOUNG FAMILY Harriet W., Arthur, and William. A witness to this will was Wm. A. Wood (Rec. 330). v. Thomas, was dead in 1822. He md. and had children. A Thomas Young md. Sept. 22 1806, Susan Berry. (Essex Marriages," "Gen. Mag. of N. J.") Susan Young was named guardian of Malinda, Jane, Sarah and John Young, children of Thomas Young, Dec. 15 181 5. (Morristown, N. J. record). Susan Berry was the name of the wife of James Young, Record 330. 324 ELIZABETH YOUNG born, Feb. 27 1748, in Pequannock, Morris County, N. J., died May 12 1794. She married James Lum (b. June 7 1747, d. May 4 1805, son of Obadiah), a Revolutionary soldier in Capt. Josiah Hall's Co. of Denville, N. J. He witnessed a deed, Apr. 1 1788, of John Young, cousin of his wife (Rec. 6). The family lived at Franklin, N. J. They had nine chil- dren ("Lum Gen.," Edw. H. Lum, Chatham, N. J.). A great grand- daughter, Caroline Hurd, md. Sept. 6 1843, William A. Wood, son of William and Susannah (Berry) (Young) Wood (Rec. 330). Children of James and Elizabeth Young Lum: i. Margaret, 1 768-1 846 ii. Nancy, 1771-1813 iii. Daniel, 1 772-1 844 iv. John, 1 775-1 777 v. Hannah, 1777-1823 vi. Elizabeth, 1 779-1 855 vii. Squire, 1 781-1854 viii. Irana, 1 785-1 862 ix. Dency, 1788- 325 THOMAS YOUNG, JR. was born, Nov. 13 1752, in Pequannock, Morris County, N. J. (Rec. 323). He was a legatee of his uncle John (Rec. 1). He and his brother Arthur are on the tax list of Mendham, N. J. for 1780. Earlier they are listed in Pequannock. No descendants are known. A THOMAS YOUNG OF ADAMS COUNTY, OHIO arrived there about the same time as did Morgan Young (Rec. 9). He bought land about 4 miles west of West Union, O., in 1808, and is listed GENERATIONS OF THOMAS YOUNG 249 as a Resident-Proprietor of Adams Co. in 18 10 (State Lib., Columbus, O.). He md. June 11 1808, at West Union, Rachel Mclntire. John Young, of Seaman, O., (Rec. 328) supplied the names of their children: I. Thomas, II. Andrew, III. William, IV. Rachel, V. Jane, VI. Joseph. I.

Young, living 1947, at Cincinnati, O. IV. Rachel, md. a Mr. Diboll and had a son Charles who lives at Wilmington, O. V. Jane md. and moved to Iowa. VI. Jo- seph was killed in the Civil War. 326 MORGAN YOUNG identified as the son of Thomas, deceased, in the will of his uncle John (Rec. 1), was born in Oct. 1752 in Morris County, N. J. and was 80 years old when he applied, Nov. 19 1832, as a resident of Berkshire Township, 250 OUR YOUNG FAMILY Delaware County, O., for a pension for service as a private in the Revolu- tionary war. (Pension Application, S-4-741). The Quaker record (Rec. 323) places his birth on "the 18th day, of the 10th month, in the year 1758," and the birth of Thomas in 1752. The Quaker record as trans- scribed is faulty. It omits two of Thomas' children, and is obviously wrong about the birth date of either Morgan or Daniel. Morgan died, Jan. 1 1844, in the 96th year of his age, according to the inscription on his tombstone in the cemetery at Galena, O. He was buried beside his wife, on whose gravestone is written: "In Memory of Elizabeth, Wife of Morgan Young, died Jan. 8 1839, in the 86th year of her age." The family name of Elizabeth is unknown. Morgan's name is spelled Morgain in his father's will, and also in some N. J. land deeds. His family name is variously writ- ten, Youngs, Yong and Yongs. Morgan said in his pension application that he left New Jersey for Wy- oming County, Pa. "about 20 years after the close of the war and lived in Wyoming County about 15 years before going to Delaware County, O." This description of his travels is confirmed by official records. The Census for 1840 of "Veterans of the Revolutionary War still Living" lists Morgan, age 89, living with his son, Andrew, in Sunbury Township, Delaware County, O. It is recorded in Deed Book, No. 1, at Morristown, N. J., that "Morgain Young, and Elizabeth, his wife, of Washington Township, sold, Oct. 8 1 80 1, Hacklebarney Forge and the land around it, on Black river to L. Freeman." "Morgain Yongs, and Elizabeth his wife, of Kings- ton Township, Luzerne County, Pa. sold land May 1 18 16, for $1500.00 to Jacob Frantz (Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Bk. 21, p. 327). This sale was not recorded until April 4 1821. On July 20 18 16 Morgan Young, of Sun- bury Township, bought from Samuel Heath for $700.00 land adjoining that sold the same day to Thomas Young, along the Walnut Creek. Thomas' deed of purchase has a note on it which reads: "the name Morgan Young was erased and Thomas Young inserted in lieu thereof before signing." (Delaware, O. rec.) Thomas was the son of Morgan and grandson of Thomas Young, of Pequannock, N. J. Morgan, son of Thomas Young, could have been he who is listed in the tax reports for Catawissa Township, Northumberland County, Pa. for 1786, with 30 acres of land, and for 1787, with 300 acres, provided he had left N. J. earlier than he said he did. The compiler thinks this ^Northumberland Morgan may have been the son of Robert Young (Rec. 313). The census of 1790 for Northumberland shows the family of Morgan to have consisted of one boy over 16; one boy between 10 and 16; and two girls. The census of 1800 shows 1 male and I female over 45; one male and one female be- tween 16 and 26, and places the family in Fishing Creek Township, North- umberland County. GENERATIONS OF THOMAS YOUNG 25£ When the census of 1810 was taken, the family of our subject was listed in the Kingston District of Luzerne County, Pa. where Morgan and Eliza- beth went about 1801 (Pension papers). The family consisted of I male and 1 female over 26 years of age, two boys between 16 and 26, and one girl between 16 and 26. In 1820, Morgan and Elizabeth with two sons, Andrew and Elijah, were living in Sunbury Township, Delaware County, O. Thomas, a third son, was there also, listed in the census as the head of a family. Morgan and Elizabeth sold land, in equal parts, to their sons, Elijah and Andrew, Sept. 10 1822 (Delaware, O., Bk. 6, p. 166). Morgan describes his war service with N. J. troops as follows: he was called out with the Militia in the Spring of 1776 to Elizabethtown where he enlisted for 5 months in Capt. Gaston's Company, Col. Munson's Regi- ment, and was in the battle of Long Island; during 1777 and 1778 he served 3 tours of one month each, one month under Capt. Carnes and Col. Frelinghuysen, one month under Capt. Samuel Morris, and one month under Capt. Wm. Young and General Wayne, and was in the battle of Elizabethtown. Morgan's record in the Office of the Adj. General at Trenton, N. J. shows that he served as a private in the Eastern Reserve Regiment, Morris County Militia, under Captains Zopher Carver, Joseph Morris and Robert Young, and was residing in Delaware County, O. in 1832. Morgan was granted a pension of $30. per annum. He was blind for many years due to his war service. Morgan and Elizabeth Young had four (perhaps 5) children, all born in New Jersey. 330. i. Thomas, b. 1785 331. ii. Andrew, b. 1790 332. iii. Elijah iv. Daughter, see Rec. 332. 327 DANIEL YOUNG son of Thomas and Thankfull was born in Pequannock Township, Morris County, N. J., Feb. 20 1759. (Friends, "Rahway, Plainfield Meeting Rec." R. S. 379 B. p. 29) This date or that of the birth of his brother, Morgan (Rec. 326) is wrong. T. F. Chambers in his "Early Germans and Other Early Settlers in N. J., 1893," under the heading "The Youngs of Draketown," p. 579, lists the children of Thomas Young and says that Daniel was "probably he who left the will, dated Hanover, June 1 1786, of Budd's Lake (but may have been, Daniel, son of Stephen, son of Robert, the Scotsman, of New- ark)." The compiler believes that Daniel moved from N. J. to Penn. and Ohio, as did his brother Morgan and several of his cousins, together with 252 OUR YOUNG FAMILY their allied families. He perhaps was Daniel Young, of Jefferson Township, Adams County, O., who was married for the second time, Aug. 23 1825, by Henry Young, J. P., to Dorcas Coonrod, widow of John. Daniel then gave his age as 64 ("The Village Register," Aug. 25 1825, West Union, O.). Evans and Stivers, in their "History of Adams County, O., 1 900," say that "Daniel Young, paternal great grandfather of the Hon. John Brooks Young, was a soldier in a N. J. regiment during the Revolution. He was a pensioner, died in Adams County and was buried in Foster cemetery, Green Township." It was to Adams County that Morgan Young (Rec. 9) and the Coonrod family came from Washington County, Pa. No pension record for Daniel has been found but the N. J. files show a Daniel Young as having served during the Revolution. Mitchell ("Mitch") Morrison Young ( 1 855-1942), of near West Union, O., told the writer that Daniel and Morgan Young were related but that he had forgotten the relationship. Mrs. Myrtle (Young) Osman, of Adams County, great granddaughter of Daniel, has family records which show that Thomas, son of Daniel, was born, Sept. 4 1783, in Pennsylvania. The name of Daniel's first wife is not known. The only mention of Daniel in the records of Adams County, O. is in a Quit claim given by his son Samuel and the latter's wife Sarah to Daniel and his heirs, Apr. 1 1817. He was living in Jefferson Township in 1820 (U. S. Census). The children of Daniel and his first wife were supplied by Mitchell M. Young. The order of birth is uncertain. 333. i. Thomas W., b. Sept. 4 1783 334. ii. David iii. Samuel, md. Sarah . 335. iv. John 336. v. William K., b. 1796 337. vi. George, b. Dec. 25 1799 vii. Hiram viii. Polly ix. Agnes x. Rhoda 328 DAVID YOUNG son of Thomas and Thankfull (Robarts) Young is named in his father's will, as also is his sister Hannah. Both children are omitted in the Quaker list of Thomas' children (Rec. 325). Nothing more is known about David. A DAVID YOUNG OF ADAMS COUNTY, O. whose parents are unidentified by his descendants may have been one of our GENERATIONS OF THOM AS YOUNG 253 Young family. He is one of four with the name Young shown on an "Official List of Resident-Proprietors of Adams County, O. in 1810" (State Lib., Columbus, O.). Descendants of his son, James, say that David came to Ohio from Fincastle, Va. Fire in 191 o destroyed most of the vital sta- tistics of Adams County but two books were saved and in one of these it is recorded that on Aug. 1 1801, David Young was married to Mary Mor- rison, at West Union, by Thomas Kirker, J. P. Our further record of David and Mary comes from the Deed Books at West Union; from the family Bible of James, their son; from an unsigned letter about family relationships written on the stationary of F. D. Bayless, Attorney, at West Union, O. (doubtless written by his second wife); and from data furnished by Marie Bayless, granddaughter of James Young. David Young served as Ensign in the War of 181 2 in Capt. Morrison's company. David bought, Jan. 30 1806, 178% acres on Cherry Fork of Brush Creek, in Wayne Township, from James and Susannah January, and two days later, sold 60 acres to Samuel Paul who, on Apr. 12 1 808, sold the land to Thomas Young, unidentified but probably he who married, June 1 1 1808, Rachel Mclntire, and who was a Resident-Proprietor in 1 810 (Rec. 325). John Young (1 858-1941), of Seaman, O., grandson of Thomas and Rachel, told the writer that Thomas settled on Hill's Fork, about 4 miles west of West Union. David Young in 18 10 was living on li8J4 acres of land originally entered for David Jackson. On Feb. 21 1817, David and Mary sold part of their land, in common, to Robert (wife, Nancy) and James Young (wife, Sarah). On March 14 1833, David made three sales, seemingly to three sons, since the price was $1.00: to Joseph, land adjoining that he sold in 181 7 to Robert, to James F. Young, and to David H. Young, jr., land adjoining that of Edward Young. Andrew Young wit- nessed these Deeds. There is a recording of part of David's will, lost in the fire, in the land books at West Union which shows that the will was made Aug. 20 1842 and that it ordered the sale after his death of land touching that of James F., of James D., and of John C. Young. David's last sale, Dec. 24 1842, was to John Young, of land touching that of David H. Young, jr. David died, Jan. 3 1843, anc * his wife, Polly, Sept. 22 1842. Four children of David and Mary are identified in the Bible of his son, James. Mitchell M. Young ( 1 854-1942), of near West Union, says that Andrew and Robert Young were sons of David. i. Jane, b.

J., son of Arthur of Morris County, Dec. 26 1803" (Rec. 323). The will was recorded at Newton, N. J., May 4 1804. James left his property to his wife Susanna "to be used for the proper education of my five youngest sons" whom he does not name. He does name "my eldest son, Barney." His executors were: "my wife and my trusty friend Thomas Dell." The witnesses: John P. Losey, Titus Berry and Peter Hoagland. James Young married Susannah (b. Apr. 8 1772), daughter of Titus and Hannah R. Berry (Mrs. Edith Livermore Sasse, Richmond Hill, N. Y.). The will of Titus Berry, of Pequannock, Morris County, N. J., drawn, Dec. 19 1828, probated, Dec. 22 1830, Morristown, N. J., left legacies "to my five grandchildren, children of my daughter Susan." The children of Susan are not named. One of the children of James was not a legatee of Mr. Berry. The six children: i. Barney, called "my eldest son" by his father, ii. Israel, lived in Jefferson Township in 1821. iii. Arthur, jr., the Deed books at Morristown, N. J. (Bk. 00, Apr. 8 1 8 19) show that "Arthur, jr., son of James Young, of Hardiston, N. J.," sold land that he inherited from his father to William Woods, with Thomas and Jesse Dell as witnesses to the deed. The jr. may have distinguished him from his grandfather. Arthur and Arthur, jr. contributed to the building of the Rockaway Presbyterian Church. iv. Silas, of Jefferson Township, sold, Apr. 5 1919, to William Woods, the land "where James Young formerly lived and which James bequeathed to Silas" (Bk. 00- 1 06, Morristown. N. J.). On March 12 1824, Silas Young and David King, executor of Arthur Young, late of Newton, Sussex County, sold to John Struble, jr., land in Pequannock, near Dover, N. J. The sale was witnessed by John and Thomas Dell (Bk. PP, 124, Morristown, N. J.), v. James, lived in Bloomfield Township in 1821. vi. Henry, lived in Jefferson Township, Morris Co., in 182 1.

The date is fixed by the record on his gravestone in the cemetery at Galena, O., "Died, May 5 1832, Age 47." His wife, Charity Calhoun, "Died, June 11 1878, Age 89 years, 5 months, 7 days" and was buried beside her husband, on whose tombstone the record is written. Thomas came to Ohio with his father and they bought land on the same day, July 20 1 816, in Sunbury Township, Delaware County, O., from Samuel Heath. One of the deed was first made out to Morgan and then "the name Morgan was erased and Thomas inserted in lieu thereof, before signing." The second deed was made out for Morgan for land adjoining that of Thomas. The U. S. Census, 1820, for Sunbury Township, lists Thomas, his wife, one daughter between 16 and 26, two GENERATIONS OF THOMAS YOUNG 257 sons and one daughter between 10 and 16 years of age. Three children were born after 1820 according to family records. i. Elizabeth, md. Eliphalet (Eli) Bigelow. Two children: Sarah, md. Newton Garvin and had one son, Clifton Gar- vin; and Rose Bigelow, md. Perley Keyes and had three children: Orville, Lawrence and Lydia Keyes. Orville Keyes md. and had three children: Willis, Charles and Maude Keyes. Lydia Keyes md. Clarence Bidwell, a brother-in-law of Mrs. Annis F. Gore, of Galena, O., to whom we are indebted for this family record. Clarence and Lydia had one child, Joseph Orville Bidwell. ii. Morgan, b. Jan. 12 1814. No record. iii.

The birth date is fixed by the inscription on his gravestone in the cemetery at Galena, O. He died in I ^5 I > a g e 61 years. He was living, in 1810, in the Kingston District of Luzerne County, Pa. He had a sister between 16 and 26 years of age in 1 810 (U. S. Census, Luzerne County, Pa.) who has not been identified. She perhaps was Polly Carver who was living in Kingston, Pa., in 185 1, when Andrew made his will, and to whom he left, after the death of his wife, two thirds of the estate. Andrew left his wife, Polly, "for life or until she remar- ries, the plantation of 50 acres on which we live." The following record at Delaware, O. may relate to Andrew and his wife: "March 20 1845, Andrew Young married Mary Williams." The list of Andrew's heirs indicates that he had no children. On March 4 1845, Andrew bought and sold a lot to Alpheus and Jane Bigelow. No wife signed the deed. Andrew's will, filed at Delaware, O., "was produced Oct. 21 1 85 1." The Executors were, Sammie Carver and George W. Wells. With the will, there is an accompanying paper which reads, "On Feb. 15 1854, Geo. W. Wells petitions for the sale of certain real estate, which was sold on March 18 1854, on behalf of the following respondents." It is noted that "Polly Nicholls owns in her own right a part of the real estate and that the 258 OUR YOUNG FAMILY sale is subject to her dower." This explains Andrew's disposition of only two-thirds of the estate. The respondents: Polly and Charles Scovell Sarah Leonard Polly Carver Eli Edwards Polly and Charles Nicholls Sally Lindenberg Hetty and Henry Sherman Loretta Sharp Sarah J. Fuller Louisa Sharp Elizabeth and Eliphaz Bigelow William Landon Hugh Lorenzo Edwards Jabeth Edwards Elijah Edwards Norinda Edwards Andrew Edwards The 1840 U. S. Census shows Morgan Young, age 89, living with his son, Andrew, in Sunbury, O. Morgan served in the Revolution under Capt. Zopher Carver. The U. S. Census of 1800 for Luzerne County, Pa. lists the following allied families of Andrew: Samuel Carver, Nathaniel Landon, John Leonard and Oliver Bigelow. Members of these families moved to Delaware County, O., as did Andrew Young. Benjamin and Mary Nichols of N. J. had a son Charles. 332 ELIJAH YOUNG born in Morris County, N. J., was taken by his parents as a child to Wyoming County, Pa. and about 18 16 to Delaware County, O. where he married Amy Larkin, born in N. Y. State, died, July 11 1872, age 74 yrs. 2 months, and 21 days (Gravestone rec, Teeter's Cemetery, near Fremont, Ind.). Elijah died in the home of his son Riley, in Camden Township, Hillsdale County, Mich., about 12 years after the death of his wife, and was buried beside her. Elijah and his brother, Andrew, bought in equal shares, on the same day, land from their parents in Sunbury Township, Delaware County, O. Elijah and Amy sold their land, in part, Aug. 8 1849, an( * the balance, April 17 1854 (Deed Bk. 6, Delaware, O.). About this date the family moved to near Richwood, O. Eight children. 342. i.
