Notes for MORGAN YOUNG:
"OUR YOUNG FAMILY IN AMERICA"
Reference: 326 MORGAN YOUNG

Identified as the son of Thomas, deceased, in the will of his uncle John (Record 1), was born on October 1752 in Morris County, New Jersey and was 80 years old when he applied, November 19 1832, as a resident of Berkshire Township, Delaware County, 0hio, for a pension for service as a private in the Revolutionary war. (Pension application, (S-4-741). The Quaker record (Record 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 transcribed is faulty. It omits two of Thomas' children, and is obviously wrong about the birth date of either Morgan or Daniel. Morgan died, January 1 1844, in the 96th year of his age, according to the inscription on his tombstone in the cemetery at Galena, Ohio. 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 New Jersey land deeds. His family name is variously written Youngs, Yong and Yongs.
Morgan said in his pension application that he left New Jersey for Wyoming County, Pennsylvania "about 20 years after the close of the war and lived in Wyoming County about 15 years before going to Delaware County, Ohio." Official records confirm this description of his travels. 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, Ohio. It is recorded in Deed Book, No. 1, at Morristown, New Jersey, that Morgain Young, and Elizabeth, his wife, of Washington Township, sold, October 8 1801, Hacklebarney Forge and the land around it, on Black River to L. Freeman." "Morgain Yongs, and Elizabeth his wife, of Kingston Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania sold land May 1 1816, for $1500.00 to Jacob Frantz (Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Book 21, page 327). This sale was not recorded until April 4 1821. On July 20 1816 Morgan Young, of Sunbury 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, 0hio record) Thomas was the son of Morgan and grandson of Thomas Young, of Pequannock, New Jersey.
Morgan, son of Thomas Young, could have been he who is listed in the tax reports for Catawissa Township, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania for 1786, with 30 acres of land, and for 1787, with 300 acres, provided he had left New Jersey earlier than he said he did. The compiler thinks this Northumberland Morgan may have been the son of Robert Young (Record 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 1 female over 45; one male and one female between 16 and 26, and places the family in Fishing Creek Township, Northumberland County.
When the census of 1810 was taken, the family of our subject was listed in the Kingston District of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania where Morgan and Elizabeth went about 1801 (Pension papers). The family consisted of 1 male and 1 female over 6 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, Ohio. 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, September 10 1822 (Delaware, Ohio, Book 6, page 166).
Morgan describes his war service with New Jersey troops as follows: he was called out with the Militia in the Spring of 1776 to Elizabethtown where he enlisted for 5 months in Captain Gaston's Company, Col. Munson's Regiment, and was in the battle of Long Island; during 1777 and 1778 he served 3 tours of one month each, one month under Captain Carnes and Col. Frelinghuysen, one month under Captain Samuel Morris, and one month under Captain William Young and General Wayne, and was in the battle of Elizabethtown. Morgan's record in the Office of the Adj. General at Trenton, New Jersey 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, Ohio in 1832. Morgan was granted a pension of $30. 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.

Children of MORGAN YOUNG and ELIZABETH are:

32.	i.	ELIJAH⁴ YOUNG, b. Morris County, New Jersey USA; d. Abt. 1884.
	ii.	AFEMALE YOUNG.
33.	iii.	THOMAS YOUNG, b. 1785, Morris County, New Jersey USA; d. May 05, 1832.
	iv.	ANDREW YOUNG, b. 1790, Morris County, New Jersey USA; d. 1851; m. MARY WILLIAMS.

Notes for ANDREW YOUNG:
"OUR YOUNG FAMILY IN AMERICA"
Reference: 331 ANDREW YOUNG

Was born in 1790 in Morris County, New Jersey. The birth date is fixed by the inscription on his gravestone in the cemetery at Galena, Ohio. He died in 1851, age 61 years. He was living, in 1810, in the Kingston District of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. He had a sister between 16 and 26 years of age in 1810 (United States Census, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania) who has not been identified. She perhaps was Polly Carver who was living in Kingston, Pennsylvania, in 1851, 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 remarries, the plantation of 50 acres on which we live." The following record at Delaware, 0hio 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, Ohio, "was produced October 21 1851." The Executors were Sammie Carver and George W. Wells. With the will, there is an accompanying paper which reads, "On February 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 sale is subject to her dower." This explains Andrew's disposition of only two-thirds of the estate. The respondents: Polly and Charles Scovell; Polly Carver; Polly and Charles Nicholls; Betty and Henry Sherman; Sarah J. Fuller; Elizabeth and Eliphaz Bigelow; Hugh Lorenzo Edwards; Elijah Edwards; Andrew Edwards; Sarah Leonard; Eli Edwards; Sally Lindenberg; Loretta Sharp; Louisa Sharp; William Landon; Jabeth Edwards; Norinda Edwards.
The 1840 United States Census show Morgan Young, age 89, living with his son, Andrew, in Sunbury, Ohio. Morgan served in the Revolution under Captain Zopher Carver. The United States Census of 1800 for Luzerne County, Pennsylvania lists the following the following allied families of Andrew: Samuel Carver, Nathaniel Landon, John Leonard and Oliver Bigelow. Members of these families moved to Delaware County Ohio, as did Andrew Young. Benjamin and Mary Nichols of New Jersey had a son Charles.

16. DANIEL³ YOUNG (THOMAS², YOUNG¹) was born February 20, 1759 in Pequannock twsp, Morris County, New Jersey USA. He married DORCAS CONRAD August 23, 1825 in Adams, Ohio USA.

Notes for DANIEL YOUNG:
"OUR YOUNG FAMILY IN AMERICA"
Reference: 327 DANIEL YOUNG

Son of Thomas and Thankfull was born in Pequannock Township, Morris County, New Jersey, February 20 1759. (Friends, Rahway, Plainfield Meeting Record" R. S. 379 B. page 29) This date or that of the birth of his brother, Morgan (Record 326) is wrong.
T. F. Chambers in his "Early Germans and Other Early Settlers in New Jersey, 1893," under the heading "The Youngs of Draketown," page 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 Newark)." The compiler believes that Daniel moved from New Jersey to Pennsylvania and Ohio, as did his brother Morgan and several of his cousins, together with their allied families. He perhaps was Daniel Young, of Jefferson Township, Adams County, 0hio, who was married for the second time, August 23 1825, by Henry Young J. P., to Dorcas Coonrod, widow of John. Daniel then gave his age as 64 ("The Village Register," August 25 1825, West Union, Ohio). Evans and Stivers, in their "History of Adams County, Ohio, 1900," say that "Daniel Young, paternal great grandfather of the Honorable John Brooks Young was a soldier in a New Jersey 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 (Record 9) and the Coonrod family came from Washington County, Pennsylvania. No pension record for Daniel has been found but the New Jersey files show a Daniel Young as having served during the Revolution. Mitchell ("Mitch") Morrison Young (1855-1942), of near West Union, Ohio, 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, September 4 1783 4 in Pennsylvania. The name of Daniel's first wife is not known.
The only mention of Daniel in the records of Adams County, Ohio is in a Quit claim given by his son Samuel and the latter's wife Sarah to Daniel and his heirs, April 1 1817. He was living in Jefferson Township in 1820 (United States Census). Mitchell M. Young supplied the children of Daniel and his first wife. The order of birth is uncertain.

Children of DANIEL YOUNG and DORCAS CONRAD are:

	i.	AGNES⁴ YOUNG.
34.	ii.	DAVID YOUNG.
	iii.	HIRAM YOUNG.
35.	iv.	JOHN YOUNG.
	v.	POLLY YOUNG.
	vi.	RHODA YOUNG.

17. WILLIAM³ YOUNG (MORGAN², YOUNG¹)^15,¹⁶ was born March 16, 1741/42 in Morris County, New Jersey USA ¹⁷, and died July 21, 1819¹⁷. He married MIRIAM DRAKE^18,¹⁹ February 02, 1764 ²⁰, daughter of ABRAHAM DRAKE and ELIZABETH LINDSLEY. She was born 1736²⁰, and died November 04, 1824²⁰.

Notes for WILLIAM YOUNG:
"Our Young Family in America"
REFERENCE ID: 3 WILLIAM YOUNG

      Eldest child of Morgan and Elizabeth Mills Young, born, March 16 1742, some twelve years before his father bought land in that part of Mendham which became Randolph Township, Morris County, New Jersey, died July 21 1819, 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, New Jersey Evening News, #55742, June 23 1917. The graves of William and his wife have not been found. Their birth and death dates appear on the family monument at Newton New Jersey 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" December 20 1775, in the township of Mendham, Morris County New Jersey. 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 Library, Trenton, New Jersey). On the tax list for 1779 he has 'Esquire' after his name. William perhaps kept the public house of which his father spoke when he advertised his property as for sale. (Reference 2). This seems indicated by the following advertisement dated at Woodbridge, New Jersey, 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." Robert Miller.
      William Young moved his family, about 1790, to Wantage Township, Sussex County, New Jersey where he bought a farm adjoining that of Jacob DeWitt (Reference 4). In 1796 William was Executor of the estate of William Jones, Sr. whose will was witnessed by Jacob DeWitt and Elizabeth Crane, in Wantage. The inventory was made by William Mitchell. Documents such as this are cited not merely to locate our subject but also because they contain the names of families allied by 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, February 16 1814. The County records at Newton, New Jersey indicate that he and his wife Miriam sold their Wantage farm, May 19 1815.
      James and Morgan Young, sons of Morgan Sr. and Thomas respectively, of Mendham, New Jersey 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 William Young. However, the files at Trenton, New Jersey show an Ensign William Young, who was promoted to be Lieutenant, and it is further stated the Lieutenant William Young was appointed, October 10 1777, for recruiting for the Continental Line, to rendezvous at Morristown, by a Committee of the Council and Assembly.
      William Young married, February 2 1764, Miriam (Drake) Throckmorton, (died November 24 1824, aged 89years, 4 months,) widow of Thomas Throckmorton, Sr. of Roxbury, New Jersey (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, December 4 1790). Hercules Young uncle of our subject, helped make the inventory of the estate of Thomas Throckmorton, son of Job and Frances (? Stout) Throckmorton, of Shrewbury, New York.
