See this web page for a display of English ancestry.
(Note: Southwold, Suffolk, lies on the coast about twenty miles south
of Yarmouth, and has a church dedicated to St. Edmunds, situated on an
eminence overlooking the North Sea. Reydon is located two miles inland
from Southwold, and is an older town.)
There is a pedigree of many generations from Tudor Trevor to Youngs families. (pp 9-11). However, Silas Youngs says: "Christopher Yonges, Vicar of Southwold, 1611-1626 (our last English ancestor), could have been the son of Christopher Younge, Vicar of Ashburton and Ermington, and it is possible that he may have been the Chaplain at Windsor, or the Vicar of Brotherton, Yorks. Although we cannot identify his immediate ancestor, still the arms borne by his grandson, Col. John Youngs is proof that his line of descent is through Tudor Trevor and the Yonges of Brynyorken." (pg 12)
Thus, although the specific line of descent is not proven, the Youngs
were of this bloodline, which included Henry Tudor, a Welshman, leading
a Welsh army, who defeated and slew Richard III, on Bosworth Field, and
became King Henry VII.
Immigration: 1637, the Mary
Anne, of Yarmouth, William Goose (or Gooch), master. He migrated with a
wife whose first name is Joan (likely the second wife, Joan Harris), and
six children, five of his own and a step-daughter: John, Thomas, Rachel,
Marcy and Joseph, as well as Ms. Harris daughter from a previous marriage:
Anna Palgrave (who later married Nicholas Woodbury).
Occupation: Preacher
Spouses:
2) Joan Harris, married sometime between 1630-1637 (between the death of Ms. Harris' first husband, Richard Palgrave, in 1630 and the record of a wife named Joan in the family's immigration records in 1637). She probably died before 1639. Probable mother of Joseph, possible mother of Rachel and Mary.
3) Mary Warren, married about 1639.
(She would have had to have been married long enough to get pregnant and
have Benjamin before 1641, as Benjamin Youngs was named as a grandchild
in Thomas Warren's will, made March 4, 1641.)
Which Wife Mother to Which Children? - An analysis
John and Thomas are most definitely from the first wife, as their baptisms are recorded in 1625 in Southwold, England. (They, and no other grandchildren, are also mentioned in their grandfather's will made on November 21, 1625. They were given silver spoons.)
Joseph was mentioned in the ship manifest. Selah Youngs says, pg 51, that he was called Jr. in Southold records to distinguish him from his cousin, Joseph Youngs, son of Joseph Youngs, and therefore was born after Jan 1633/34 (and before the migration in 1637). He thus appears to be likely from the second wife.
Rachel and Mary are mentioned in the ship manifest. The mother of these two is in doubt. The first wife (Joan Herrington) certainly had time, if she died close to, or after, 1630, to have had more children than John and Thomas. If she didn't die until, say 1635, she may be the mother to Rachel and Mary, as well as Joseph. If she died in the 1620's, however and John remarried the second Joan (Harris), in 1630, there could be enough time (up to 1637) for Joan Harris to be the mom of these three.
Mary Youngs Notes Mary (Warren) Youngs refers to "Mary Yongs" as "my daughter" in her will of 1678. This apparently refers to Mary Warren's daughter from a previous marriage, Mary Gardiner, who married her step-son, John Youngs, ie Mary (Gardiner) Youngs. The 'Marey' of the ship's list appears to be "Mary", wife of Edward Petty and died in 1671 before Mary Warren made her will in 1678.
Christopher: Selah Youngs concluded that Christopher Youngs was from the third wife, Mary Warren, and since he was not referred to in his grandfather's will of 1641 (Thomas Warren), concludes he was born in 1642. He apparently makes this conclusion because of her reference to Benjamin as her "eldest son" by her last husband. She referred to John Youngs as "eldest son of my said husband" and Christopher as "son of my said husband". He is apparently making this conclusion based on the word "eldest" in the phrase "eldest son" in referring to Benjamin, therefore concluding Mary must have had more than one son, and that only leaves Christopher as all other known sons are accounted for.
However, I believe this is not conclusive. It is clear from the will that she was distinguishing her "children" by John Youngs from other "children" of John Youngs from other wives. She twice called Benjamin "my son" and once referred to John as "ye eldest son of my said husband". She referred to Christopher as "son of my said husband". If Christopher is not from Mary Warren, he is surely a son of second wife, Joan Harris. He is not on the ship's list of 1637 and therefore can't be from the first Joan, ie Joan Herrington. So, it appears there are two options, born 1637-1639 to Joan Harris, or born after 1642 to Mary Warren. The evidence that I am aware of doesn't seem to support one assertion over another. Perhaps there is a clue in the will or other records of siblings.
Benjamin: He is clearly from Mary Warren. She says in her 1678 will: "my eldest son" and in another place "ordain the said Benj Youngs my son, sole executor...." Additionally, Benjamin is referred to as a grandson in Thomas Warren's will of 1641.
Anne: The
ship's manifest includes the names of six children, one of which is Ann.
Selah Youngs does not include an Ann in the list of children for John Youngs,
but, in a footnote on pg 40, describes the relationship of Anna (Palgrave)
Woodbury, as his second wife's daughter. This must be who that Ann is.
(*)Southold
(Southwold) is the name of an old town in England, from which
several of
the original thirteen Puritans came, when they emigrated to America.
SAVAGE, VOL 4 DICT FIRST SETTLERS OF NE
"YOUNGS, or YONGS, JOHN, Southold, L. I. a min. of St. Margarets,
Co. Sufflk. aged
35, with Joan his w. 34, and six ch. John, Thomas,
Ann, Rachel, Mary,
and Joseph, would have come to Salem, in N. E. in
the Mary Ann from
Great Yarmouth, May 1637, with many other pas-
seng. of wh. was
the wid. of learn. William Ames, the Professor at
Franequer, as is
seen in a collect. of rec. at Westminster, with copy of
wh. her majesty's
keeper of those treasures favored me; and in the
margin of this
part is insert. "This man was forbyden passage by the
Commissnrs. and
went not from Yarmouth." Probably the scivener
had no idea of
a negative pregnant, as the lawyer says, in his mind,
when he made that
entry, but may have suppos. that the power of the
great archbp. the
imperious and foolish Laud, would forever restrain that
migrat. As
the whole complication of ecclesiast. impolicy was over-
thrown three yrs.
aft. the puritan's desire was then, if not earlier gratif.
One report places
him at New Haven 1638-40. I presume that Wood,
in his Hist. of
L. I. where he makes Y. a min. at Hingham, Eng. and to
come to New Haven
with part of his church in 1640, and to begin the set-
tlem. of Southold,
in Oct. of that yr. foll. tradit. of the neighb. and may
be more trustworthy,
as Farmer quotes him, where he says, he d. 1672,
in his 74th yr."
Extended Kin in England - This comes from a Hungerford genealogy, which says: "Rev. Walter Hungerford, a brother of Edward and Thomas, married Jane, a daughter of William Young, brother of Christopher Young, whose son, Rev. Christopher Young, clerk, minister of Southwold, in his will , of 1626, refers to son John. This John Young married Mary, a daughter of Thomas Warren, who in his will, of Southwold, merchant, 1641-1645, refers to "two children of Mary Youngs, my daughter, wife of John Youngs now in New England."
Ann as Daughter on Ship Manifest Was Step-daughter Anna Palgrave The ship's manifest includes the names of six children, one of which is "Ann". Selah Youngs does not include an Ann in the list of children for John Youngs, but, in a footnote on pg 40, describes the relationship of Anna (Palgrave) Woodbury, as his second wife's daughter. This must be who that Ann is.
Who is Mary Youngs? md William Wells, Sr.??
Torrey shows the wife of William Wells, Sr (first child abt 1655) to be "Mary Youngs?". Which Mary could this be? I don't find such a lady or marriage in the Selah Youngs Genealogy of the Youngs family. Further, Torrey shows this lady married, second, Thomas Mapes, born 1651, while the "about" date of birth of her oldest daughter is 1655. A possible, but strange, relationship of ages.
Who is Mary Youngs married Jacob Conklin abt 1667??
Torrey ("New England Marriages before 1700") shows Jacob Conklin md Mary Youngs married abt 1667.
This marriage is not in Selah Youngs "Youngs Genealogy".
Who is this Mary Youngs??
This is who I presently have for the kids and grandkids of the immigrant.
I do appreciate additions and corrections!
