     Hank De Young was born circa 1844 in the Netherlands.¹ He was the son of Jacob De Young and Gertrude (?).
          Jacob De Young and Gertrude (?) and their children immigrated between 1844 and 1850 to the United States of America. This is the same timeframe that known DeYoung relatives came on board the ship Massachusetts. I wonder how they might be related. Hank, age 6, was enumerated in the household of his parents on the 1850 Federal Census in Worth Township, Cook County, Illinois. He was enumerated as Henick.¹ Follow the link to see the census image.
