Jacob Young

     Jacob Young was born on 18 May 1748 at Germany; Some researchers say he is the son of John Henry Young (Johannes Henrich Jung) (1716-1789) who was married to Catharine Lampman (1724-1802). But others have their issue, Johannes Henry Young b. ca 1745, married Catharine Keller and they had John Henry Young, III, b. ca 1773. At this point, not ready to extend the lineage back based on what I have (2000).^1,2 He married Catherina Brust, daughter of Johannes Jacob Brust and Anna Katherina Wolff. Jacob Young died on 19 March 1846 at Clarenceville, Missisquoi Co, Quebec, at age 97.³ He was buried at 3rd Concession Cemetery, Noyan, Missisquoi Co, Quebec.³
