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.
