John Young Sr
(Abt 1744 - 17 Dec 1835)
LIFE
A. He arrived to Hawaii with the English ship Eleanor approximately February 1790, at a little more than 46 years of age. One day we went alone to explore the island. As it became dark, Kamehameha stopped him from returning to the ship and invited him to remain with him as a friend. He handled Kamehameha's canons (Kamakau, Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii, p 145-146). He was befriended by Kamehameha in March, 1790 (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 322).
B. He had little education. He was very helpful to the missionaries when they sought residence in the 1820s (Restarick, John Young of Hawaii, an American, p 25-43).
C. Order of mates (Hawaiian Chiefs Biographical Abstract)
D. He was designated governor of Maui after the islands were united (Kamakau, Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii, p 184).
E. Conflict: Alexander, A Brief History of the Hawaiian People, p 323 and Genealogy of John Young 2/28/1942, U171 states December 16, 1835, but transcription from the Mausoleum (see Restarick, Twenty-second Annual Report of the Hawaiian Historical Society) and Hawaiian Chiefs Biographical Abstract and
Peabody-Henriques genealogy, Hms G17, p 291 indicate death date as December 17. Kumu Hawaii, 23 December 1835, p 206, He Papa no kekahi mau mea i kahiki 1835 indicates December 16, 1835.
Conflict: Biographical Information about "Haole Families" from the Bruce Cartwright Collection, U-177, vol 3 states he was 93 years old when he died.
