Location Vermont per 1880 US Fed Census (Michigan) for daughter Sarah Ann (Young) McKenzie.^2,3,4,5,6 He "Young Family Bible: Says that Stephen Young was the son of Colonel Young of the British Army who was granted 7,000 acres in Upper Canada. This is highly unlikely. Stephen Young was very likely born in Vermont, certainly married in Vermont and came up to Canada after 1802, settling on lands that appear to be lands secured by William Marsh, his grandfather, or else by Matthias Marsh.
Ancestral File AFN:11J8-IRR says Stephen was the son of John Young, but I do not have any evidence beyond that statement. So far I have found no convincing evidence of who Stephen's father.
Stephen Young is not a member of the family of Guy Henry Young from Long Island, who was an officer and who settled in Prince Edward County, farther east on the peninsula. He is not a descendant of Robert Young, a British Navy captain, who settled near the Marshes. It is unlikely he is the son of John, since he didn't name a child John. Nor was Stephen the son of a Palatine Jung/Young family that settled on the Niagara Peninsula. Stephen Young should also not be confused with a Stephen Young and his brother, Peter, who settled at Fredericksburgh, across the tip of the peninsula from Prince Edward County. They are older and poorer. They did move to Picton, but they are not the same family." per "Descendants of Stephen Young" sent to me by Wilson Brown, March 28, 2007. circa 1778.⁴ He "Stephen Young with his half-brother, Asa Weller, came to the Carrying Place about 1802: they being the first settlers at Weller's Bay. He was born at Manchester, Vermont, in 1778, and died in 1849. He married Lucy Marsh, daughter of the old Sydney pioneer, Matthias Marsh.

Note: Half-brother of Asa Weller??? Have seen nothing to explain this - yet. Also, we know Asa Weller came to the CArring Place as early as 1789, then came for good in 1792. Stephen Young was in Pownal, Bennington Co., Vermont per the 1800 US Federal Census, so they did not come at the same time. (Dan Buchanan, Oct 9 2024) in 1778 at Manchester, Vermont, U.S.A..

September 26, 2013, Email from Wilson Brown - (fag contributor) -Wilson@professorsbrown.com; Stephen Young's father remains a mystery. He is not, however, Guy Henry Young. Stephen was born in Arlington, VT, in 1777 and married Lucy Marsh in Manchester, Vt about 1788 or 1799. The couple had at least one child there before moving to the Bay of Quinte in 1802. I can only guess that Lucy went to Vermont to visit, and perhaps help care for, her grandparents, Col. William and Sarah, and there met Stephen. Most researchers, including me at first, kept looking at Loyalist Youngs of which there are at least 3 families in the area. There was a Young family in Arlington, Vt, from Cornwall, CT. Age, location, and naming patterns suggest that Stephen is from that family and also connected with the Hawley family, but these are only hints. Several family members tell me that Stephen Young was on a trip to Montreal and that he died there. I haven't confirmed that. Stephen was not himself a Loyalist. His first farm was on the land of Jeremiah Marsh, Lucy's uncle, and only much later did Lucy herself, as the daughter of Matthias, a Loyalist, getting her 200 acres. I just had a thought that Stephen's not getting a grant of land is an indication that his father was not a Loyalist. Interestingly, only one of Col. William's ten children married a Loyalist - Samuel William who married Jannetje (Jane) Ostrum. I am certain, however Stephen is not from Henry Young's family.

Hope Township Census records indicate that Robert Benjamin Marsh was a child with Samuel William Marsh from 1810 and he is in Hope Township persistently for the rest of his life. Later census records show his place of birth as Hope Township. Something may have happened with William Samuel Marsh that caused his son to be raised by his brother Samuel W.

Note: These sections on the back of this document show that the Council did not approve the extension to the time for completing settlement duties which was requested by Johnson Marsh in a Petition dated Feb 7 1841. The reasoning seems to be that "settlement duties" was not the issue, a mentioned in Johnson Marsh's Petition, but "actuall settlement" was the point the Council wanted to impose. The Government of the time was very anxious to have land occupied by people- actually living on the land. It might be expected that Johnson Marsh and his son John Sprague Marsh moved to St. Vincent fairly soon in order to maintain their claim to the land.³

Asa applied for and received a land grant in St. Vincent Township. The grant had been obtained through his efforts at Toronto.

For the rest of the trip he may have rented a horse and wagon in Meaford and driven to his property.
