He was born the 11 Oct 1741 in Bound Brook Somerset Co., NY He married Azuba Skinner 12 Dec 1762 in North Branch near Bound Brook New Jersey.
They had 5 children:
Hannah, Aaron, Elizabeth, Cornelius and Mary Younglove

"My brother, Joseph Younglove, was born in the year 1743 in the state of New Jersey, where he received a good education, and was a sensible, sprightly man.
At the age of 21, he married Azubah Skinner, a pious and amiable young woman.
By Occupation he was a farmer and remained in New Jersey until the year 1772,when he removed with his Father's family to Cambridge, Albany Co. N. Y.where he purchased a tract of land and began building and improving on it;
though shortly after he began his improvements, the Revolutionary War commenced. My brother lived four miles west of the town of Cambridge, and ten
miles east of Saratoga.
In the year 1777, Burgoyne came on with a large army and descended the Hudson River to the mouth of Battenkill, a stream that puts into the Hudson on the east side and two miles above Saratoga. At that place, Burgoyne ordered Col.
Baum to take the command of 600 men and pursue the road leading up Battenkill and through the town of Cambridge to Bennington and capture the American stores at that place, and all the horses that were to be found to remount his
Cavalry, having lost a great many of their horses while on the march from Canada. My Brother at this time had a young man living with him by the name of John Manley, who was a brother of our valiant Captain Manley who captured
the first British ship in the American Revolution. My brother and Mr. Manley,having heard that Burgoyne had reached Saratoga ten miles west of his house,
and that Col. Baum was to pass through Cambridge, four miles east of his home believed it was time to remove the family farther from the enemy Accordingly,
they concealed the most valuable of their effects in the woods and put the women and children on horses, and shouldered their guns driving their cattle
before them. When they got to the big road in Cambridge they fell in with the rear of Col. Beaum's army, composed of British, Hessians, Canadians, Tories &
Indians. Gov. Skeen discovering my brother and Mr. Manley with their guns, ordered them to be brought before him and inquired their business. My brother replied that his intention was to remove his family and stock to a safer
situation. Skeen ordered them to give their guns to two men that were walking without, and to put the family in that house, pointing to one, and to turn the stock in such a field, and consider themselves prisoners of war, and conduct themselves accordingly. As Gov. Skeen turned from them, they shoved their guns under an old house and proceeded to place the family and stock according
to Skein's orders. British sentinels were placed in front of the house, and the family, men women and children, had to compose themselves the best way they could; trusting providence for the event. In the dead time of night, my
brother and Mr. Manley discovered an open way through the back part of the house, through which they conducted the family, unperceived by the sentinels, and secured them as well as they could in the woods. Then they got their
horses and tied them near the family and then got their guns, and went to their cattle and got hold of the one, which had on the bell, and tied a cloth round the clapper, and turned them into the woods. The cattle started for their home, and my brother and Mr. Manley put the women and children on the horses and returned to their home without seeing any of the enemy. This was about August 1777.
The battle of Bennington was fought on the 16th. of August 1777. My brother and Manley tarried at home with the family and could hear the battle raging, being only 10 miles distant from my brother's house; but they did not know how it terminated until the second night after the battle. My father, then being 60 years old, ventured in a dark night, thought the woods, along a small path
to find out what had become of his son, Joseph and family. He got there around midnight and found them all well and gave them an account of the battle, about which they all had a great rejoicing. My brother then removed his family to Mapletown, four miles west of Bennington, where they remained until after the capture of Burgoyne, after
which they returned home. My brother was a warm friend to the cause of liberty, and did all in his power to support it. When the War of the Revolution was happily closed; he gave his attention to the cultivation of his farm. He was a Justice of the Peace in the county, in which he lived, and also filled other useful offices, He lived to raise five children, two sons and three daughters. Aaron, Cornelius, Elizabeth, Hannah and Polly. All respectable. His oldest son, Aaron Younglove, acted for several years as a member of the Legislature, and was also a member of the Senate in the state of New York. My brother was a kind husband, a tender father, and a good and
friendly neighbor. He died May 30, 1810 at about 70 years of age, respected by all that knew him, and was buried at the Steeple meeting house in Cambridge, by the side of his father. Thus ends the narrative of Joseph Younglove, February 13th. 1844".
This will was made August 20, 1808 and was probated April 11, 1810.
His sons Aaron and Cornelius inherited his wearing apparel. His wife inherited all household goods, a horse, a cow, and ample firewood for use during her lifetime. His estate and property was ordered to be sold. His wife Azubah was to receive one third of the interest yearly on the proceeds of this estate and, if not sufficient, could draw on the principal. Out of the remaining two thirds, his grandson Aaron, son of Joseph, was to receive 60 dollars when he became 21 years old. His five children and his granddaughter Azubah Boyd, wife of William Boyd, were to divide the remainder as follows: Aaron, Cornelius, Hannah, wife of William McCraken, Mary, wife of Azariah Conger, all one fifth part. Elizabeth, wife of Thomas McKillip two thirds of a fifth part and her daughter Azubah Boyd one third of a fifth part. His daughter Elizabeth McKillip's share was to be given at the discretion of the executors (as long as her present husband shall live) for her comfort and need. If her husband should die, she was to receive the whole amount. If she were to die, the remainder was to be divided amongst her children excepting Azubah Boyd. After the death of Joseph's wife Azubah Younglove, any proceeds or property remaining from
Joseph's will was to be sold and put to interest. It was to be divided in the same manner as the rest of the estate. Executors were Joseph's son Aaron and William C. McLean. Witnesses were John McLean, R Wilson and Ruben Wilson Jr. Surrogate was
Edward Savage. JH.
Other Notes for Joseph.
Joseph was a Justice of the Peace and held other useful offices. JH
Joseph Younglove during the Revolution lived Batten Kiln, NY.
Joseph was adjutant and quartermaster in Col. Lewis Woerts Regement.
The following is an excerpt from a letter written by Dr. Scott, nephew of Joseph.
"Uncle Jo, as he was usually called, was a small spare man with a small head, a long nose, and a large mouth, but he
was as active as a squirrel and so kind and affection- ate that he was universally loved. He was always trying to do some good and generally succeeded. He was a small farmer, but kept himself independent. He never aimed at style in
anything, but sought comfort. It did one's heart good to visit him as I have often done. To be welcomed by his joyous countenance and the smiles of his dear good wife; to be treated with the dainties which grow upon a farm, to see one's horse so well cared for and one's self so petted would make one feel happy in spite of yourself. At middle age he professed religion, but often before that he kept his character free from reproach. He had the reputation of being a wise man and an honest one."
At the time of his death he lived on the south side of Batten Kill on the road east of the turnpike. After his death his widow, Azuba, went to her son Cornelius in Steuben Co. where she resided until her death.
