HANS CHRISTIAN YOUNG (I)
BY CLIFFORD M. YOUNG

Careful study of the limited records available concerning this branch of the YOUNG (JUNG) families indicates that Hans Christian Young was born in 1728 and came to this country from Germany at least a generation previous to the Revolutionary War-probably 1740 or 1750. The Dutch Reformed Church records. Fort Plain, N. Y., state that he died March 2, 1813, aged 86 years and left eight children, 66 grand children and 45 great-grandchildren.

The early settlers of the Palatine German stock, who came to this country in the great Palatine emigration of 1710, first located at East and West Camps on the Hudson River, and most of that group who migrated to Schoharie and finally to the Mohawk Valley, did not reach the Valley until about 1722 and subsequent years. It appears that Hans Christian Young doubtless came directly to the Mohawk Valley or via Philadelphia in later years and settled on a farm or lot in Livingston Patent in Freysbush, Montgomery county-then Albany county. As this lot is described as two miles east of the lot in Lansing Patent later known as the Norman Young farm in Brookmaus Corners, it is believed to have been the Dingman farm -on the Fort Plain-Cherry Valley trail or later highway, which farm is located just south of the present Freysbush Lutheran Church. As this section was forest and inhabited largely by Red Men, if at all, it is not surprising that Hans Christian Young had many thrilling experiences previous to and during the Revolution, as the records indicate. What these experiences were, however, is not stated.

It is regretted that the name of the wife of Hans Christian Young cannot be stated here with certainty, but it is believed that she was Anna Maria Muller (Miller). His will on file in Fonda, dated May 26, 1807, indicates that his living children were Godfrey, John Christian, John, Christina, Anna Elisabeth and Thomas. Similarity of names in church records renders difficult an accurate placing of these children, but the following would appear to be reasonably correct:

2-1 Godfrey, born 1752, died July 31, 1830, aged 77 years and 6 months.

2-2 John Christian, born 1755, died February 28, 1835, aged 80 years.

2-3 John, no complete record, but it is probable that he married Margaret Countryman, daughter of Capt. George & Christina Diefendorf Countryman.

2-4 Christina, married George Michael Lones and they had Garret, born Sept. 5, 1794, Johannes Young and frau Maria sponsors; and Godfrey born April 10, 1802, Godfrey Young and frau Anna sponsors.

2-5 Anna Elisabeth, married Peter Bircky, September 4, 1790, and had Barbara born August 26, 1802. A record of other children has not been found.

2-6 Thomas, married Nancy Hackney, daughter of Johann "Heckenie" August 5, 1789.

(The will of Hans Christian (1) also mentions his grandson Christian).

This chapter deals mainly with the descendants of Godfrey and John Christian Young. The available church records at that particular time are very incomplete, and with little information as to the place of burial, and few existing grave markers, it is extremely difficult to state birth, marriage and death dates of all the descendants. Unfortunately the early portion of the Geisenberg (Hallsville) Lutheran Church record is missing and the part which is available gives no marriage or death dates. The records of the older Dutch Reformed Church at Sand Hill (Fort Plain) were destroyed when the church was burned by the Indians and Tories during the Revolution, and the grave stones of the Sand Hill cemetery are nearly all missing. It is therefore impossible to give dates of birth of all the children of Hans Christian Young.

Godfrey Young 2-1 was a Revolutionary soldier and his name is on the Oriskany Monument. A communication dated October 9, 1941, addressed to Clifford M. Young, is as follows:

"The National Archives
Washington, D. C., Oct. 9, 1941.
Godfried Young, or Godfrey.
Parents: Names are not shown.

Birth: Date and place are not shown. On a sheet dated September 22, 1786 his age appears as about 34 years.

Service: He served as Corporal in Captain "Copeman's Company, Colonel Clyde's Regt. of New York Militia;" he was disabled August 6, 1777 "in service in consequence of a wound in the lower part of his Belly."

Pension: On account of disability resulting from wound in service, he was allowed pension from September 22, 1786, rate $5 per month which was increased to $8 per month under the act of April 24, 1816. He was paid at the Albany, New York, Agency.

Family: The name of this veteran's wife is not known.

Residence: This veteran's residence in New York at enlistment was not stated. He resided in Minden, Montgomery county (near the Herkimer county line), New York, in 1824.

Death: He died prior to March 23, 1831, survived by a widow."

A letter from General Accounting Office, Washington, D. C., dated October 18, 1941, addressed to the writer reads as follows:

"In reply to your letter of October 10, 1941, in which you request information concerning Godfrey Young, a pensioner of the Revolutionary War, New York Agency, you are advised the records of this office show that it was certified by a surrogate of Herkimer County, New York, that at a Surrogate Court held for the County of Herkimer, New York, satisfactory evidence was exhibited to show that the pensioner, a resident of the town of Minden, Montgomery County, New York, died on July 31, 1830, leaving surviving him a widow, Mary Catharine Young.

"The arrears of pension due the deceased, covering the period from March 4, 1830, to July 31, 1830, were paid at Albany, New York, on September 6, 1831, to A. Loomis, as Attorney for the widow."

"No further information has been found of record in this office."

Since Godfrey Young was 34 in 1786, he must have been born in 1752. It appears from Church records that Godfrey was thrice married, the first wife being "frau Anna" mentioned in the Geisenberg record as a sponsor in 1797. They are again mentioned as sponsors in 1800, also 1802 and 1804. The Fort Plain Dutch Reformed Church record gives the death of "Anna Young wife of Godfried Young August 25, 1807, aged 53 years, 8 mos, and 10 da."

This same church record shows the second marriage of Godfrey Young to Barbara Countryman (widow of Marks Countryman) July 3, 1808. She died September 30, 1821, aged 64 years, 4 mos. and 15 days.

The date of marriage to his third wife is not shown but on page 73 of Vol. II of the Fort Plain record on file in the State Library, Albany, there is an entry as follows: "Godfrey Young and wife Maria Catharine sponsors for Catharine born June 23, 1824, to Jacob Snyder and wife Sarah."

From the foregoing it is apparent that Godfrey was associated with churches, but available records do not give the birth of any of his children. They were probably by his first wife Anna, during that period of "lost records." None is recorded as by his second and third wives.

The will of Godfrey Young is on file in the Herkimer County Clerk's office, dated June 2, 1830; he died July 31, 1830, aged 77 years and 6 months. His will gives the names of his four living children John Christian, 3-1, Garret, 3-2, Anna 3-3 and Maria, 3-4.

3-1 John Christian married Anna Dingman March 31, 1812: Their children were as follows:

3-1 John Christian Young (2nd), brother of Godfrey, will be traced later, because of the many descendants extending to the present generation.

CHILDREN OF GARRET YOUNG

3-2 Garret, son of Godfrey Young, married Christina Lambert, daughter of Peter Lambert, and they had four children of record. Garret died June 4, 1814, age 34 yrs. 6 mos. and 11 days.

Fourth Generation

3-3 Anna Young, daughter of Godfrey, married Jacob Waggoner, Jr., son of Jacob Waggoner, Nov. 17, 1809 and they had seven children.

3-4 Maria Young, daughter of Godfrey, no birth record of her has been found, but she may have been the wife of Peter Och (Ough). (See Geisengerg, Pg. 159 of Voshurgh translation).

Godfrey Young, Sr. owned land in German Flats, Herkimer county, but apparently he resided a greater portion, if not all of his life, in the town of Minden, Montgomery County. According to his will he lived at that time on Lot 9 of the Lansing Patent, which patent was in the Minden, Hallsville and Brookmans Corners section. Book No. 20, page 374 of deeds in the County Clerk's office at Fonda, N. Y., shows that on April 21, 1808 Godfrey Young of Minden deeded to Garret Young of the same place, for $250, lot No. 1 in a subdivision of Lot No. 10 in a division of twenty thousand acres of land on the south side of the Mohawk River, known as Philip Livingston patent. This patent adjoins the Jacob Lansing patent and extends through upper Freysbush, Hessville and westward to the Herkimer county line. Book 22, page 231 shows that Godfrey Young deeded to John Christian Young, for $250, twenty-five acres of Lot No. 9 in the Lansing patent in the town of Minden.

CHILDREN OF NANCY YOUNG

4-2 Nancy Young married John F. Moyer of Freysbush. Their children were as follows:

Fifth Generation

5-1 Garret Moyer, born May 20, 1828, died November 28, 1860, married Laura Hess. Buried in Freysbush cemetery.

5-2 John Aaron Moyer, born June 7, 1830, died October 5, 1911, married Catharine Casler, born Apr. 9, 1844, died Oct. 25, 1885.

5-3 Mary Catharine, born May 20, 1832, married William Hess of Phoenix, N. Y.; Children, Mina, Harold and Myron Hess.

5-4 Nancy Maria, born Nov. 28, 1833, died June 3, 1861, married Ira T. Dunckel.

5-5 Chauncey L. Moyer, born April 1, 1836, died Jan. 8, 1921. He married Mary C. Failing Dec. 31, 1857.

5-6 Peter Alfred Moyer, born Sept. 20, 1838, died in 1919. He married Mahalah Jordan, born April 17, 1841, died in 1909.

5-7 Nathan Moyer, born Oct. 23, 1844, married Minerva Young Dec. 29, 1864. She was a daughter of Daniel Young and Sally Diefendorf. (Daniel Young line not related to John Christian and Godfrey Young line). Nathan Moyer died Dec. 7, 1921; Minerva died April 8, 1921. (See Hendrick Young line.)

SECOND GENERATION

2-2 JOHN CHRISTIAN YOUNG (2nd) was born in 1755 and died February 28, 1835. He is buried on the farm cemetery at the old homestead in Brookmans Corners, town of Minden, Montgomery county, N. Y. As there were at least three John Christian Youngs* in the Mohawk Valley in this particular generation, - it is difficult to produce documentary proof as to who was the first wife of John Christian Young, son of Hans Christian Young and brother of Godfrey Young, the Revolutionary soldier.

Research, however, tends to prove that Mary Elisabeth Ehle (Oel-Oehl), eldest daughter of Peter Ehle of Minden and Palatine, was the first wife of the John Christian Young in question here. Peter Ehle was a Revolutionary soldier and Mary Elisabeth was born February 5, 1773. John and Mary were married July 21, 1789, and moved to Sullivan, Madison county, as did her father and several other German families from Montgomery county about 1790. Apparently they were attracted by the rich black soil of that locality. It appears that John and Mary (Maria) did not remain in Sullivan but returned to the town of Minden. Book of Deeds, No. 5, page 1, at Fonda shows that on May 5, 1794, John Christian Young and wife Maria Elisabeth deeded to Adolph Walrad for 100 pounds a parcel of land -one-fourth part of lot No. 8 of Philip Livingston Patent-100 acres.

The Washington Frothingham record-under heading "Norman Young"-does not give the maiden name of the first wife of John Christian Young but states that they had five children as follows:

Third Generation

3-1 Jacob who died in Wisconsin,

3-2 Christian who died in St. Lawrence county,

3-3 Abraham who died in Minden,

3-4 David who died in Springfield,

3-5 Nancy who married John Eaton, Jr. and died in Fort Plain.

The will of Hans Christian Young, Sr. deeds the sum of $250 to John Christian, Jr., out of which $75 "shall be to and for his son Christian" (meaning the elder's grandson.) This may be the Christian mentioned in the foregoing who died in St. Lawrence county, his full name being John Christian C. Young. The Fort Plain Dutch Reformed Church records indicate as follows:

John Christian C. Young and wife Lydia:

Lucinda, born April 25, 1820, sponsors Daniel Dillenback and Anna Young.

* A John Christian Young married Anna Scott and John Christian Christopher Young's wife was Lydia. (See Appendix.)

Loisa, born March 18, 1822, sponsors Daniel Shunck and Maria Scott.

Ephraim, born Nov. 18, 1823, sponsors John Christian Young and wife Margaret.

Stephen, born Sept. 16, 1825, sponsors Lavernius Waffel and July Ann Scott.

After the death of his first wife, Lydia, John Christian C. Young married Catharine Jordan January 1, 1829, and they had the following children:

Elija, born January 15, 1830, parents sponsors. Joshua, born October 29, 1831, parents sponsors.

Mary Catharine, born October 5, 1833, parents sponsors.

Chauncey, born October 22, 1836, Martin Snyder, Jr. and Nancy Jordan, sponsors.

Church records also indicate that David (3-4) married Anna Countryman Dec. 28, 1818 and they had at least three children as follows:

John Henry, born Feb. 10, 1822.

Caty Maria, born Sept. 30, 1826.

Betsy Caroline, born Nov. 11, 1832.

Nancy (3-5) who married John Eaton, Jr., had one son of record:

Chauncey Eaton, born Oct. 15, 1825.

No further record of the five children by the first wife of John Christian Young (2-2) has been found.

After the death of his first wife, John Christian Young married Margaret Schunk (widow) whose mother was a sister of Rev. John Daniel Gros, pastor of the Dutch Reformed Church at Sand Hill (Fort Plain). The children of John Christian Young and Margaret were as follows:

THIRD GENERATION CONTINUED

Nicholas Young married Mary Widmire Oct. 16, 1828, and they had one son, Norman, and three daughters-Mary Margaret, Eliza Catherine and Charlotte. (Mary Widmire) Young was born Feb. 10, 1808 and died Sept. 25, 1867.
