Notes for NATHANIEL MITCHELL YOUNG:
"OUR YOUNG FAMILY IN AMERICA"
REFERENCE ID: 14 NATHANIEL MITCHELL YOUNG

      Nathaniel Mitchell Young, the "Axe-man", as the Indians called him Founder of the so-called Jersey Settlement in Ohio", born in Morris County, New Jersey, was named after his maternal grandfather James Mitchell who came to New Jersey about 1683 from Scotland. The inscriptions on the gravestones of Nathaniel and his wife in Wayne Cemetery near Fredericktown, Ohio read: "In Memory of Nathaniel M. Young, Who died February. 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 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 New Jersey, 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, Ohio).
      Abraham Lyon (born 1749 in New Jersey, died March 1848 in Allen County, Ohio) had a son Simeon who moved to Ohio in 1805 ("Lyon Memorial"). Abraham Lyon registered his cattle's earmarks at Mendham, New Jersey in 1770, and Simeon did likewise in 1798. Eliphalet Lewis registered his there in 1749. Nathaniel Mitchell Young and Mary, his wife, sold to Abraham Lyon of Clinton Township, Fairfield County (later Wayne Township, Knox County) Ohio, November 25 1805, lot 11, in the 14th Range, 7th Township and 2nd Quarter, touching the land of James Lewis (Deed Book F. page 327, Lancaster, Ohio). The earliest, 1820, Ohio Census shows Abraham, Simeon, Ephraim Loyn, John and William Lewis, and William Bryant as neighbors in the Mt. Vernon area of Knox County, Ohio (National Archives, Washington DC). See List of Burials in Wayne Cemetery, page 27 (This page is in "Our Young Family in America").
      Nathaniel Mitchell Young bought, April 30 1800, from Ebenezer and Mary Drake of Mendham, New Jersey, 500 acres of wilderness land in what was then the United States 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 New Jersey. 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, New Jersey, bought land adjoining that of Nathaniel, described as in the 7th Township, 14th Range, 2nd Quarter of the United States Military Lands. The deed was signed by John Frelinghausen, as Clerk of Somerest County, New Jersey.
      The following deed illustrates how political boundaries were changing in Nathaniel's day: "Nathaniel M. Young and Mary, his wife, of the Township of Clinton, County of Fairfield, Ohio, sold, November 25 1805, to Abraham Lyon, of the same place, for $200., Lot 11 etc." Witnesses to the Deed were: Ziba Jackson and Jacob Young. The records at Mt. Vernon, Ohio show that Nathaniel sold, February 02 1824, for $2025. part of his 500 acres to Noah Young, his cousin and his son-in-law, who was living in Richland County. (Reference 28)
      A. B. Norton, in his "History of Knox County Ohio 1862," page 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 Hames 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 Knox County, is broken by the entrance of a lone Jerseyman who penetrates some ten miles farther into the wilderness. 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. (Reference 319)
      Nathaniel Mitchell Young married Mary Lewis in New Jersey. Thier first child was born in 1794. The inscription on Mary's gravestone fixes her birth in July 1771. She was the first child of James (born 1747, died November 08 1819) and Abigail (Douglass) Lewis (born 1747, died August 05 1830). In the Lewis Letters" (Lewisiana, Volume XII, page 100 #142, New York Public Library) Mary is noted as having "D. young" which contradicts a second notation which calls Nathaniel Mitchell Young the son-in-law of James Lewis. "Md. Young" would have been accurate. A. A. Graham, in his "History of Knox County, Ohio", page 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, January 17 1774, died June 4 1828, and married a Mr. Bryant. Her gravestone, Wayne Cemetery reads, "Anna, consort of James Bryant, Died 1828". Mrs. Sarah J. (Harris) Keifer, in her New Jersey Branch of the Harris Family," page 9, says: "Nathaniel M. Young married a Miss Lewis." The "Lewis Letters" correctly list the other children of James and Abigail Lewis as: William (1772-1829); John (born November 23 1778, died April 05 1822); Eliphalet (born 1781, died April 30 1823); and Sally who married 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 sister by the name of Conger, Descendants of John Koeniger, a Hugenot, who settled in Middlesex, New Jersey, 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 Somerest County, New Jersey, who is said to have been born in Glamorgan, Wales, and to have arrived in America in 1717. She was the granddaughter of Edward (born August 08 1722, died June 22 1792) and Sarah (Morris) Lewis (born 1728, died November 06 1808) who were married, May 30 1745. Edward and Sarah are interred at Basking Ridge, New Jersey. Sarah was the daughter of Daniel (son of Stephen) Morris who lived in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, in 1744 ("Lewisiana"' Volume 3, page 184).
      Several descendants of the Lewis family are buried in the Quaker cemetery near Fredericktown, Ohio.
      The names and birth dates of he children of Nathaniel Mitchell 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 Delaware, Ohio.

Children of NATHANIEL YOUNG and MARY LEWIS are:

He married EUPHEMIA TRYPHENA BEERS December 25, 1796, daughter of DANIEL BEERS and AZUBA PITNEY. She was born June 27, 1780, and died February 02, 1864.

Notes for JACOB YOUNG:
"OUR YOUNG FAMILY IN AMERICA"
REFERENCE ID: 15 JACOB YOUNG

      Jacob Young, farmer in New Jersey, Pioneer Developer of Wilderness Lands and Community Interests in the infant State of Ohio, Banker and Judge, was born November 27 1774, in Morris County, New Jersey, propabably in Hanover Township where his parents lived until his father bought the Mendham property in 1784 from Morgan Young, Sr. Jacob died in Wayne Township, Knox County, Ohio, and was buried in Wayne cemetery (Reference 14) where a monument to his memory stands, with the following inscriptions: "Jacob Young, died March 6 1846, In the 72 year of his life"; "Tryphena, his wife died February. 2 1864, In her 84th year"; "Hannah, daughter of Jacob and Tryphena Young, died August 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 Bryam Township, Sussex County, New Jersey, bought April 9 1805, from Abraham and Prudence Roll of the same place, for $750., 500 acres of land in the same Quarter, Township and Range of the United States 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 (Volume E, page 121, County records, Lancaster, Ohio). Jacob witnessed the deed by which his brother sold, November 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. "Young 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, 1779-1862": "Nathaniel and Jacob Young were two of the Clerks of the first election for State and County offices, held in the Township of Wayne, October 11, 1808"; "Jacob, in 1813, was appointed Associate Judge of Knox County"; "in 1816, 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 1817 at Fredericktown, Ohio."
      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, Book 6 page 483). Judge Henry Ustick, second husband of Abigail Young, daughter of Jacob, witnessed this deed.
      Jacob served his country in the War of 1812 as Captain of an Ohio Company in which Noah Young (Reference 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, Ohio).
      The will of Jacob Young, made February 19 1845, names his wife and his brother Nathaniel Mitchell Young as executors, and lists the following children: Abigail Ustick, Daniel Beers, Charity Ann Jackson, Nathaniel Mitchell, Susan L. Talmage, John H., Elizabeth Mitchell, and Aaron Pitney Young. Three sales of land between May 1859 and September 1862, recorded at Mt. Gilead, Ohio, show additional heirs of Jacob: Phebe A., wife of John H. Young; Lydia, wife of Aaron Pitney Young; Susan and Tryphena Venum; Phebe Lane; Amanda Lewis; Elizabeth Rugg, daughters of Charity (Young) Jackson; LaFayette Jackson, Flavius Josephus, John Young, and Silas Mitchell Jackson, sons of Charity, all of Whiteside County, Illinois. In one sale deed, T. H. Dalrymple, acting as attorney for Amanda and Lafayette Jackson, is called their ancestor. (Reference 16).
      Jacob Young was married by the Rev. John J. Carle, of Rockaway, New Jersey, December 25 1796, to Euphemia Beers (her name is so written in the marriage record at Morristown, New Jersey), daughter of Daniel and Azuba (Pitney) Beers. The children of Jacob and Tryphena (Euphemia) were: (Mrs. Cora Y. Logan, Los Angeles, California).
