The banns of his marriage to Maria Jaycocks [Mary Wilcox] were published in the Dutch Presbyterian Church, Poughkeepsie in 1750.
Served in Butlers Rangers
Henry Young shaired or adjoined the farm of his father Adam Young on the Grand River. Henry's son William carred on the lawsuit for 638 acres
. The following anecdote was told by Robert Young to his daughter, Olive Ida (Young) King, who in turn related it to her daughter, Helen Robina (King) McBride. "Henry Young was a very strong man. The Indians were greatly impressed by his feats of strength and, as a sign of honour, gave him the name 'Hoshaphat' meaning Strongman in their language. Once he was attacked by a bear when unarmed, and having no means for defence, he managed to overcome and kill the bear with his own hands.
On another occasion, an incident happened which displeased the Indians, and they mistakenly accused Henry. A party of angered Indians came to Henry's house to apprehend him. Henry was cornered upstairs with no means of escape but, seizing his saber and wielding it about, caused the Indians to fall back and descend the stairs. Henry's horse was tied outside but leaving by the front door meant capture. He climbed out through a window, landed on his horse, and galloped away. He headed for the nearest settlement at Ryckman's Corners by the shortest route through the woods. Later, the Indians learned that Henry was not the cause of their displeasure and their friendship and trust was restored." 29 FIELD NAME Page FIELD NAME Page FIELD NAME Page FIELD NAME Page
