He was also with the British under General Amherst when they marched from Albany, by way of Lake Champlain and Montreal, to unite with the forces from Quebec under General Murray; and he was present in 1759 with General Bradstreet at the taking of Fort Frontenac and the town of Cataraqui, the site of Kingston." per Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, page 990. in 1759 at Fort Frontenac, Province of Quebec.3 He married Marytje "Mary" Lisjer on 25 November 1759 at New York, U.S.A; per GEDCOM of Doug Norman, Jan 3, 2006.

They landed at the small inlet just north of Cedar Islands and known as Dead Man's Bay. He was the first Loyalist to step ashore, and spent three years assisting Major Ross and his party to build the fort on Carleton Island at Oswego. The lines of the fortifications are still quite distinct. It is said that Fort Henry at Kingston, was named after Henry Young." per Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, page 991. in 1777 at Carleton Island, Province of Quebec.3 He "He was also with Burgoyne at the battle of Bennington, at Stillwater, N.Y., and witnessed his surrender at Saratoga. But he escaped being captured, and joined the King's Royal Regiment of New York, in which he received the rank of first lieutenant. His commission was dated November 16, 1781. During the French and Revolutionary wars he fought in seventeen battles and was wounded but once, and then in his right hand." per Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, page 991. on 16 November 1781 at King's Royal Regiment, New York, U.S.A..3 He "Young Daniel was well on in his teens and wanted to get to his father; so he bribed one of the old blacks, who had been given as part of her dowry to his grandmother, to

When peace was declared he received a grant of three thousand acres of land, with the privilege of locating it for himself." per Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, page 991. in 1783 at St John, Province of Quebec.3 He "Daniel being employed in the engineering branch of the army at Kingston, invited a certain Lieutenant McCanty to accompany him on a prospecting tour. During the summer or autumn of 1783 they coasted up the Bay in a small boat to where Picton now stands. Leaving the boat they started through the woods, walking in a southerly direction until they came to the north end of East Lake. Here they turned to the east and travelled around the south side, where they were surprised to hear the roaring of Lake Ontario." per Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, page 992. in October 1783 at East Lake, Mecklenburgh Dist., Province of Quebec.3 He "Crossing this stretch of land, covered with cedar, spruce and balsams, they emerged on the shore of the Great Lake, where the inlet from the smaller lake enters Lake Ontario. The two explorers took off their boots and stockings and waded across the outlet. They walked along the beach to the northern corner, where they built a roof of cedar boughs and spent the night. Next morning they started in a north-westerly direction and reached West Lake. Turning to the west they made their way through the West Lake beach, and next day, taking a circuitous route through the woods reached the place where they had left their boat; and so returned to Kingston. Finding the woods of Prince Edward full of deer and other game, and the lakes abounding with fish of all kinds, Colonel Young chose to settle on the west side of East Lake. He then sent to St. John's for his second son, Henry, who at once made his way to Kingston." per Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, page 992. in October 1783 at East Lake, Mecklenburgh Dist., Province of Quebec.3 He "In the September following Colonel Young secured a large canoe, loaded it with necessaries, and with his two boys paddled up the Bay and landed at the same place. They portaged over to the north corner of East Lake, over what was subsequently known as the Carrying Place, the old Indian trail and landing. The father left the sons to spend the winter in their new wilderness home and returned to Kingston, whence he joined his family at St. John's. In the following spring they all journeyed to Upper Canada. When Fredericksburgh was reached, the five daughters were left there, and the father proceeded alone. He found his sons alive and well and spent the summer in building a log- house" per Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, page 992 & 993. in September 1784 at East Lake, Mecklenburgh Dist., Province of Quebec.3 He "In October of the year 1784 his daughters joined him and their brothers. From that time on, their greatest difficulties lay in getting supplies from Kingston. Thus, the Youngs were among the first, if not actually the first settlers in Prince Edward County." per Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, page 993. in October 1784 at East Lake, Mecklenburgh Dist., Province of Quebec.3 He lived in 1792 at Prince Edward Co., Upper Canada; "Prince Edward was one of the original nineteen counties of Upper Canada, established by the proclamation of Simcoe in 1792. By this proclamation, we learn that the Peninsula was called by the French " Presque isle de Quinte." Originally it was divided into the three townships of Marysburgh, Sophiasburgh, and Ameliasburgh.

He was present when General Abercrombie was defeated in his attack on the French fort now called Tyconderoga." per Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, page 990. in 1755 at New York, U.S.A..3 He "During the following year he was with General Amherst, who, with another army of equal size, captured the same fort on July 26th. He was also with the British under General Amherst when they marched from Albany, by way of Lake Champlain and Montreal, to unite with the forces from Quebec under General Murray; and he was present in 1759 with General Bradstreet at the taking of Fort Frontenac and the town of Cataraqui, the site of Kingston." per Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, page 990. in 1759 at Fort Frontenac, Province of Quebec.3 He married Marytje "Mary" Lisjer on 25 November 1759 at New York, U.S.A; per GEDCOM of Doug Norman, Jan 3, 2006. Col. Henry Young UEL "He remained with the army until peace was declared in 1763 and then returned to his home, where he married Miss Lampman." per Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, page 990. in 1763 at Jamaica, New York, U.S.A..3 He "At the outbreak of the Revolutionary War he again joined the British forces, this time under General Burgoyne, whom he accompanied on his famous march against Tyconderoga, captured in 1777." per Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, page 990 & 991. in 1777 at Fort Tyconderoga, New York, U.S.A..3 He "In the year 1780 Henry Young was sent to Kingston with a detachment of troops under Major Ross. They landed at the small inlet just north of Cedar Islands and known as Dead Man's Bay. He was the first Loyalist to step ashore, and spent three years assisting Major Ross and his party to build the fort on Carleton Island at Oswego. The lines of the fortifications are still quite distinct. It is said that Fort Henry at Kingston, was named after Henry Young." per Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, page 991. in 1777 at Carleton Island, Province of Quebec.3 He "He was also with Burgoyne at the battle of Bennington, at Stillwater, N.Y., and witnessed his surrender at Saratoga. But he escaped being captured, and joined the King's Royal Regiment of New York, in which he received the rank of first lieutenant. His commission was dated November 16, 1781. During the French and Revolutionary wars he fought in seventeen battles and was wounded but once, and then in his right hand." per Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, page 991. on 16 November 1781 at King's Royal Regiment, New York, U.S.A..3 He "Young Daniel was well on in his teens and wanted to get to his father; so he bribed one of the old blacks, who had been given as part of her dowry to his grandmother, to
assist him to run away. They bided their time, until one day they learned that a party of British scouts were encamped some miles away. With the assistance of the old servant, young Daniel managed to join the body of scouts, and went with them into Canada, where he found his father stationed at Montreal. The son immediately
enlisted under the British colors, and went with Sir John
Johnson to Oswego in 1782." per Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, page 991. in 1782 at Carleton Island, Province of Quebec.3 He "The remainder of Colonel Young's family stayed until the close of the war in the vicinity of their old home, and then with the first detachment of Loyalists who left New York, journeyed to St. John. When peace was declared he received a grant of three thousand acres of land, with the privilege of locating it for himself." per Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, page 991. in 1783 at St John, Province of Quebec.3 He "Daniel being employed in the engineering branch of the army at Kingston, invited a certain Lieutenant McCanty to accompany him on a prospecting tour. During the summer or autumn of 1783 they coasted up the Bay in a small boat to where Picton now stands. Leaving the boat they started through the woods, walking in a southerly direction until they came to the north end of East Lake. Here they turned to the east and travelled around the south side, where they were surprised to hear the roaring of Lake Ontario." per Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, page 992. in October 1783 at East Lake, Mecklenburgh Dist., Province of Quebec.3 He "Crossing this stretch of land, covered with cedar, spruce and balsams, they emerged on the shore of the Great Lake, where the inlet from the smaller lake enters Lake Ontario. The two explorers took off their boots and stockings and waded across the outlet. They walked along the beach to the northern corner, where they built a roof of cedar boughs and spent the night. Next morning they started in a north-westerly direction and reached West Lake. Turning to the west they made their way through the West Lake beach, and next day, taking a circuitous route through the woods reached the place where they had left their boat; and so returned to Kingston. Finding the woods of Prince Edward full of deer and other game, and the lakes abounding with fish of all kinds, Colonel Young chose to settle on the west side of East Lake. He then sent to St. John's for his second son, Henry, who at once made his way to Kingston." per Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, page 992. in October 1783 at East Lake, Mecklenburgh Dist., Province of Quebec.3 He "In the September following Colonel Young secured a large canoe, loaded it with necessaries, and with his two boys paddled up the Bay and landed at the same place. They portaged over to the north corner of East Lake, over what was subsequently known as the Carrying Place, the old Indian trail and landing. The father left the sons to spend the winter in their new wilderness home and returned to Kingston, whence he joined his family at St. John's. In the following spring they all journeyed to Upper Canada. When Fredericksburgh was reached, the five daughters were left there, and the father proceeded alone. He found his sons alive and well and spent the summer in building a log- house" per Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, page 992 & 993. in September 1784 at East Lake, Mecklenburgh Dist., Province of Quebec.3 He "In October of the year 1784 his daughters joined him and their brothers. From that time on, their greatest difficulties lay in getting supplies from Kingston. Thus, the Youngs were among the first, if not actually the first settlers in Prince Edward County." per Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, page 993. in October 1784 at East Lake, Mecklenburgh Dist., Province of Quebec.3 He lived in 1792 at Prince Edward Co., Upper Canada; "Prince Edward was one of the original nineteen counties of Upper Canada, established by the proclamation of Simcoe in 1792. By this proclamation, we learn that the Peninsula was called by the French " Presque isle de Quinte." Originally it was divided into the three townships of Marysburgh, Sophiasburgh, and Ameliasburgh. Subsequently the townships of Hallowell and Hillier, were
formed, and in later days the township of Athol." History of the Settlement of UC, page 479.
