Biography

From Genealogical and Personal Memoirs Relating to the Families of Boston and Eastern Massachusetts, Volume 3 (Google eBook) William Richard Cutter Lewis historical Publishing Company, 1908 - Boston (Mass.). Page 1268:

(I) Rowland Young, immigrant YOUNG ancestor, was born in Scotland, probably about 1625. He settled in what is called Scotland, in the sea-girt town of York, Maine, and signed submission to Massachusetts, November 22, 1652. Savage says he was admitted a freeman that year. Scotland was so named from the fact that a group of Scotchmen settled there, at the time the civil war in England drove many thousands to America when Cromwell defeated the Scotch in battle. He married Joanna.
His will is dated 1685, inventory amounting to 224 pounds six shillings. His widow made a will in 1698, and mentions Rowland, her son, living "on the south side of York River;" Job, who received land "where my old dwelling house now stands;" daughters Mary Moulton and Lydia Haines.
At the same time Rowland took the prescribed oath of allegiance, March 22, 1681, Robert, whom Savage thinks was a brother also, took it at York.

Rowland Young is the ancestor of one of the families in York which has maintained a continuous residence in the town for three centuries. The only occurrence of the very rare name of Rowland in combination with Young, known to the author, is in Buckinghamshire, in the parish of High or Chipping Wycombe where a Rowland Young was married in 1616 and again in 1618. He could have been the father of our early settler who came to York about 1636 and followed the occupation of fisherman (Mass. Archives x, 161; cxxviii, 243).

Rowland made a deed to his sons Rowland and Job in 1724.

Will

Maine Wills, 1640-1760, by William M. Sargent, on pp. 85-86, has the will of Rowland Young, Senior, of York, Maine,

"first I bequeath my soule to god, that gaue it in & through the meritts of my deare Ld and Saujoir, Jesus Christ, in hopes of a Joyfull resurrection, at the great Tribunall: & my body to the earth your to bee Inter'd, in order & Decent buriall//"

All of his worth was bequeath to his "dearly, & beloued wife, Johanna. . . ." The will was recorded on 24 Nov. 1685; the inventory was returned at L224:06:0 on 25 Sept. 1685.

The information regarding the family of Rowland and Johanna can be found in the Gen. Dict. of Maine & New Hampshire, pp. 776-777.

Rowland Young Senr.

Born before 1636 [location unknown]

Husband of Joanna (Knight) Young — married about 1648 in York, Province of Maine

Father of Rowland Young Junr., Mary (Young) Moulton, Samuel Young, Robert Young, Job Young Senr and Lydia (Young) Bragdon

Died 6 Nov 1685 in Kittery, York, Massachusetts Bay

Rowland Young Senr. migrated to New England during the Puritan Great Migration (1620-1640).

Disputed Origins

Charles Edward Banks, in The History of York, Maine, suggests that the "only occurrence of the very rare name of Rowland in combination with Young, known to the author is in Buckinghamshire, in the parish of High or Chipping Wycombe where a Rowland Young was married in 1616 and again in 1618. He could have been the father of our early settler."[1] These two marriages of Rowland Yonge to Joanna Gray (1616) and Barbara Ocko (1618) were recorded in the Buckingham Parish Registers.[2]

However, Mr. Banks greatly overestimated the rarity of the name Rowland Young:

A Rowland Young was buried 1597 in Craike, York.[3] A Thomas, son of Rowland, was born 1606 in Northumberland.[4] Another Rowland Young was having children in Pateley Bridge, York, in the 1620s[5] These indexed microfilm records show that other Rowland Youngs existed in "Rowland Young Senr's" time in different places and therefore the name combination was not uncommon.

In addition, U.S. and Canada, Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s Name: Rowland Young Arrival Year: 1652 Arrival Place: Massachusetts Source Publication Code: 6435.60 Primary Immigrant: Young, Rowland Annotation: Date and place of mention.

Arrival date is false he was in York, Massachusetts Bay on the jury on the 26th of November in 1650, so this source is by no means official in it's accuracy; click link below Province and court records of Maine. v.1 (1636/68). Maine";[page.155]

Disambiguation

The result of above said explanations clearly ensures that "Gent.Rowland Young Senr." of York Province, Massachusetts Bay Colony is not too be confused with Rowland Yonge of High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire,England[6] who married Joana Gray in May 1616, and Barbara Okol in October 1618.

It's more than likely that Capt. Thomas Young, "Yeo Man of London" who is cited in the Maine court Records in 1640 on behalf of the king,[7] and who was sent to the Massachusetts Bay colonies in 1634 by King Edward III, was the father of this Freebourne Gent. of "1636 Maine Province" "'Rowland Young Senr". And most certainly in all documented context there not any contradiction to this, along also with no other elder of the surname Young in 1636-1640 as a possibility of connected family settlement in the province of York, York, Maine, Massachusetts Bay Colonies.

In the court records of the province of Maine. v.1 index, Rowland Young, Samuel Young, and Capt. Thomas Young are all grouped together in its index and who are also cited in different documented court hearings throughout the records.[8]

Biography

Birth

There is nothing in the records that indicates how old Rowland Young Sr. was, so pinpointing his birth is difficult. His son Rowland Young Jr. was born in 1649,[9] so Rowland Sr. was probably not born after 1628. His son reported that his father had been in Maine since 1636. He may have come as a young man any age, suggesting a birth between 1615 (if he was a young single adult) or 1626 (if he was a ten year old apprentice arriving with another family). One suggestions is 1618 in Buckinghamshire, if Rowland and wife were his parents.

Immigration

The evidence for his arrival about 1635 comes from a petition by his son in 1686:

"To his Excellency Sir Edmond Andross Lieutenent Governour of his Majesty's territory and dominion of New England": "The humble petition of Rowland Young sheweth that your petioners father was an inhabitant in the town of York in the province of Maine nigh fifty years, there he brought up a great family of children, and by his labor purchased a small tract of land in the same town, eight acres whereof he gave to your petitioner. That your petitioner about sixteen years ago, laid out about one hundred and fifty pounds in building upon the said land, but in the time of the late Indian War your pettiioners house was burnt and he and his family exposed to hardship, that the selectmen of the said towne of York being sensible of your petitioners great loss did offer to bestow upon your petitioner eighteen acres of land out of fence and unimproved adjoining to your petitioners land but it was never laid out to him nor as yet disposed of to any other person. Now in-as-much as your petitioner has built a little house upon his land and having a great charge of children, is not able to support his family upon that land left him by his father, he humbly prays your excellency to grant unto him and his heirs the above said eighteen acres of land unimproved and out of fence upon such moderate quit rent as to your excellency shall seem meet. And Your Petioner Shall Ever Pray". "Signed Rowland Young Jr. (his seal and mark)"[10] Marriages

Some secondary sources suggest that he was probably married twice, trying to suggest that Rowland Young Senr. was Rowland Yonge of High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire,England who married twice. Why? Because they clearly did not know of any other records to evaluate, and went along with the incorrect supposition introduced by Charles Edward Banks, that the names '"Rowland Young"' was a rare name and there was no other records of that name "Rowland Young" during the late 1500s to early 1600s.[1] But as stated in the will of his wife, Joanne Knight who married Rowland Young Senr. c1648 , daughter of Robert Knight,[11] she was clearly the mother of all his children and the same wife he had when he died.

Children

Deacon Rowland Young Jr;born in 1649[12] Mary b. c. 1653; m. Jeremiah Moulton Robert b. c 1658 Samuel b. c 1662 Job b c. 1664. Job Young seems to be omitted from many lists of the children of Rowland Young, however, he is connected to this family by the following deed: "Job : Young and Thos Hayns of york... paid by Allexandr Junnkins and Jos Junkins... do... Sell... four acres... within the Township... of Kittery... Known by ye name of Youngs Marsh being a Part of a percel of marsh formerly belonging to Rowland Young of York Decd who was ye father of Aforesd Job young & father of ye wife of ye sd Thomas Haynes... this third Day of January... One Thousand Seven hundred & Nine"[13] Lydia b. 1672; m. (1) Thomas Haynes; (s) Samuel Bragdon. Life in York, Maine Province

Was officially amongst the Freemen "Gent's" of the town named "Kittery" in York, Maine Province, Massachusetts Bay colony, subscribed among the other Freeman of the Province of Maine on November 22nd, 1652.[14]

Rowland Young Senr. is listed as one of the Gent. Subscribers to manage the housing and immigration in the Province of Maine, and too make sure they were subjected and to abide by the laws of the kingdom of Great Britain on the date March/18/1679.[15]

Gent. Rowland Young Senr. a freeborn subject, signed this petition concerning the years 1661, 1665, and 1668 in the Province of Maine.[16]

When Maine became part of the Jurisdition of Massachusetts, Rowland signed the articles of submission 22 Nov 1652.[17][1]

Rowland was on the jury in 1650.[18]and 1655[19]

He served on a grand Jury in 1678. The following year he was on the grand jury.[20]

Rowland did not sign the petition to Cromwell which referred to the complaints presented to the Protector by "some gentlemen of Worth" (1652 list of York Province Gents.)[21] for restitution of their right of jurisdiction and asked that they be not heeded, intimating that they were instigated by "professed Royalists whose breathings that way... have been so farre stifled."[22]

Rowland had a town grant in 1653 at Bass Cove which he sold to Daniel Dill.[23]

"I Rowland Young of York ffisherman with the free consent of my wife Joane doe in Consideration of ye Sum of Nine pounds... paid by Capt John Davis... doe... Sell... unto Daniel Dill... ten Acres... being between Bass Cove and John Chirmihills land, bounded with John Alcocks Lott... and Richard Banks... by ye River Side... According to town grant whereby ye sd land was given me bearing July the 3d 1653... this 4th Day of Decembr 1666... Rowland X Young... in ye presents of Edw Rishworth, John Twisden, Daniel Livingstoun."[13]

Rowland's home was in Godfrey's first division of the grand patent extending northeast from Meeting House Creek.[20] Rowland was one of those who signed Peter Weare's letters to help him get out of jail in 1668.[24]

On 12 April 1677, during King Philip's War, his house was burned by the Indians on Ferry Neck.[25]

Rowland signed a petition against the sale of Maine 28 March 1679 and signed the petition to the King in 1680 praying that they might be restored to his immediate authority as a Royal Province,[26] but to no avail and the Massachusetts authorities declared themselves: "the now Lord Proprietors of the Province of Mayne".

Rowland and his wife deeded the Knight land to son Robert in 1680, 10 acres to son Samuel on 18 Apr. 1682 and the Knight homestead to son Rowland Jr. 25 Aug. 1685. He willed the remainder to his wife Joan in 1685.[20]

"I Rowland Young Senr of the Town of York... ffisherman, together by and with the Consent freewill and Agreement of Joanna my now wife for and in Consideration of the Naturall Love and Affection we do bear to our Son Robert Young... do give...

Charles Edward Banks, in The History of York, Maine, suggests that the "only occurrence of the very rare name of Rowland in combination with Young, known to the author is in Buckinghamshire, in the parish of High or Chipping Wycombe where a Rowland Young was married in 1616 and again in 1618. He could have been the father of our early settler."[1] These two marriages of Rowland Yonge to Joanna Gray (1616) and Barbara Ocko (1618) were recorded in the Buckingham Parish Registers.[2]

However, Mr. Banks greatly overestimated the rarity of the name Rowland Young:

A Rowland Young was buried 1597 in Craike, York.[3] A Thomas, son of Rowland, was born 1606 in Northumberland.[4] Another Rowland Young was having children in Pateley Bridge, York, in the 1620s[5] These indexed microfilm records show that other Rowland Youngs existed in "Rowland Young Senr's" time in different places and therefore the name combination was not uncommon.

Disambiguation

The result of above said explanations clearly ensures that "Gent.Rowland Young Senr." of York Province, Massachusetts Bay Colony is not too be confused with Rowland Yonge of High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire,England[6] who married Joana Gray in May 1616, and Barbara Okol in October 1618.

It's more than likely that Capt. Thomas Young, "Yeo Man of London" who is cited in the Maine court Records in 1640 on behalf of the king,[7] and who was sent to the Massachusetts Bay colonies in 1634 by King Edward III, was the father of this Freebourne Gent. of "1636 Maine Province" "'Rowland Young Senr". And most certainly in all documented context there not any contradiction to this, along also with no other elder of the surname Young in 1636-1640 as a possibility of connected family settlement in the province of York, York, Maine, Massachusetts Bay Colonies.

In the court records of the province of Maine. v.1 index, Rowland Young, Samuel Young, and Capt. Thomas Young are all grouped together in its index and who are also cited in different documented court hearings throughout the records.[8]

Biography

Birth

There is nothing in the records that indicates how old Rowland Young Sr. was, so pinpointing his birth is difficult. His son Rowland Young Jr. was born in 1649,[9] so Rowland Sr. was probably not born after 1628. His son reported that his father had been in Maine since 1636. He may have come as a young man any age, suggesting a birth between 1615 (if he was a young single adult) or 1626 (if he was a ten year old apprentice arriving with another family). One suggestions is 1618 in Buckinghamshire, if Rowland and wife were his parents.

Immigration

The evidence for his arrival about 1635 comes from a petition by his son in 1686:

"To his Excellency Sir Edmond Andross Lieutenent Governour of his Majesty's territory and dominion of New England": "The humble petition of Rowland Young sheweth that your petioners father was an inhabitant in the town of York in the province of Maine nigh fifty years, there he brought up a great family of children, and by his labor purchased a small tract of land in the same town, eight acres whereof he gave to your petitioner. That your petitioner about sixteen years ago, laid out about one hundred and fifty pounds in building upon the said land, but in the time of the late Indian War your pettiioners house was burnt and he and his family exposed to hardship, that the selectmen of the said towne of York being sensible of your petitioners great loss did offer to bestow upon your petitioner eighteen acres of land out of fence and unimproved adjoining to your petitioners land but it was never laid out to him nor as yet disposed of to any other person. Now in-as-much as your petitioner has built a little house upon his land and having a great charge of children, is not able to support his family upon that land left him by his father, he humbly prays your excellency to grant unto him and his heirs the above said eighteen acres of land unimproved and out of fence upon such moderate quit rent as to your excellency shall seem meet. And Your Petioner Shall Ever Pray". "Signed Rowland Young Jr. (his seal and mark)"[10] Marriages

Some secondary sources suggest that he was probably married twice, trying to suggest that Rowland Young Senr. was Rowland Yonge of High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire,England who married twice. Why? Because they clearly did not know of any other records to evaluate, and went along with the incorrect supposition introduced by Charles Edward Banks, that the names '"Rowland Young"' was a rare name and there was no other records of that name "Rowland Young" during the late 1500s to early 1600s.[1] But as stated in the will of his wife, Joanne Knight who married Rowland Young Senr. c1648 , daughter of Robert Knight,[11] she was clearly the mother of all his children and the same wife he had when he died.

Children

Deacon Rowland Young Jr;born in 1649[12] Mary b. c. 1653; m. Jeremiah Moulton Robert b. c 1658 Samuel b. c 1662 Job b c. 1664. Job Young seems to be omitted from many lists of the children of Rowland Young, however, he is connected to this family by the following deed: "Job : Young and Thos Hayns of york... paid by Allexandr Junnkins and Jos Junkins... do... Sell... four acres... within the Township... of Kittery... Known by ye name of Youngs Marsh being a Part of a percel of marsh formerly belonging to Rowland Young of York Decd who was ye father of Aforesd Job young & father of ye wife of ye sd Thomas Haynes... this third Day of January... One Thousand Seven hundred & Nine"[13] Lydia b. 1672; m. (1) Thomas Haynes; (s) Samuel Bragdon. Life in York, Maine Province

Was officially amongst the Freemen "Gent's" of the town named "Kittery" in York, Maine Province, Massachusetts Bay colony, subscribed among the other Freeman of the Province of Maine on November 22nd, 1652.[14]

Rowland Young Senr. is listed as one of the Gent. Subscribers to manage the housing and immigration in the Province of Maine, and too make sure they were subjected and to abide by the laws of the kingdom of Great Britain on the date March/18/1679.[15]

Gent. Rowland Young Senr. a freeborn subject, signed this petition concerning the years 1661, 1665, and 1668 in the Province of Maine.[16]

When Maine became part of the Jurisdition of Massachusetts, Rowland signed the articles of submission 22 Nov 1652.[17][1]

Rowland was on the jury in 1650.[18]and 1655[19]

He served on a grand Jury in 1678. The following year he was on the grand jury.[20]

Rowland did not sign the petition to Cromwell which referred to the complaints presented to the Protector by "some gentlemen of Worth" (1652 list of York Province Gents.)[21] for restitution of their right of jurisdiction and asked that they be not heeded, intimating that they were instigated by "professed Royalists whose breathings that way... have been so farre stifled."[22]

Rowland had a town grant in 1653 at Bass Cove which he sold to Daniel Dill.[23]

"I Rowland Young of York ffisherman with the free consent of my wife Joane doe in Consideration of ye Sum of Nine pounds... paid by Capt John Davis... doe... Sell... unto Daniel Dill... ten Acres... being between Bass Cove and John Chirmihills land, bounded with John Alcocks Lott... and Richard Banks... by ye River Side... According to town grant whereby ye sd land was given me bearing July the 3d 1653... this 4th Day of Decembr 1666... Rowland X Young... in ye presents of Edw Rishworth, John Twisden, Daniel Livingstoun."[13]

Rowland's home was in Godfrey's first division of the grand patent extending northeast from Meeting House Creek.[20] Rowland was one of those who signed Peter Weare's letters to help him get out of jail in 1668.[24]

On 12 April 1677, during King Philip's War, his house was burned by the Indians on Ferry Neck.[25]

Rowland signed a petition against the sale of Maine 28 March 1679 and signed the petition to the King in 1680 praying that they might be restored to his immediate authority as a Royal Province,[26] but to no avail and the Massachusetts authorities declared themselves: "the now Lord Proprietors of the Province of Mayne".

Rowland and his wife deeded the Knight land to son Robert in 1680, 10 acres to son Samuel on 18 Apr. 1682 and the Knight homestead to son Rowland Jr. 25 Aug. 1685. He willed the remainder to his wife Joan in 1685.[20]

"I Rowland Young Senr of the Town of York... ffisherman, together by and with the Consent freewill and Agreement of Joanna my now wife for and in Consideration of the Naturall Love and Affection we do bear to our Son Robert Young... do give... Ten Acres of Land... which is a Part of yt Lott of Tract of Land which was formerly my now wifes Fathers Robert Knights Land where he formerly lived... near unto the house of Mary Sayward Widow... his wife Mary Young is to have ye free Use & benefitt of it during her Naturall life... this third Day of June... 1680...
