Young Family Crest, Coat of Arms and Name History

Meaning, Origin, Etymology
The surname of Young is of an Anglo-Saxon Pre 7th Century derivative of the word “geong” which can be translated to the Middle English word “yunge” or “yonge” and all are literally translated to mean “the young one.” Derived from the Middle English yunge or yonge (Old English word geong), meaning “young,” the Young surname was used as a descriptive name to distinguish father from son or to the younger of two relatives with the same first name (similar to the usage of Junior). This surname also possibly derives from the Old Gaelic “og” which can be translated to mean “young.” This surname may have stemmed from a nickname for someone who was the youngest member of their family, or someone who looked young in their appearance. Either way, this surname was only considered to be hereditary in some cases, whereas in other cases it was a byname used to describe the youngest member of a family, to differentiate their order, as in Medieval times families often named all of their children with the same given name, and added a byname following this identical given name, to differentiate the children. It was also said that this surname was used to distinguish both a father and son who were both named with the same personal given name. This name is one of the oldest to appear in the records, and references to it go back well before the Norman Conquest. Those who carry the surname of Young can be found in large quantities throughout the English countryside. The areas with the largest concentrations of those who bear the surname of Young include Somerset, Dorset, Hants, Gloucestershire, and Kent. The first recorded spelling of the surname of Young in the country of Scotland was one John Yong de Dyngvale. This person John Yong de Dyngvale was said to be a witness of a charter by the Earl of Ross to Reginald, Son of Roderick of the Isles in the year of 1342. During the 1600’s many European citizens began to migrate to the United States of America in search of a new life. Many of these European citizens were dissatisfied with the government of their home country, because of the living conditions and religious persecution. This movement was referred to as The European Migration. The first people who arrived in the United States who bore the surname of Young were one Richard Young and his wife, who arrived in the state of Virginia in the year 1623. In the year of 1635, Joseph and Margaret Young, and their two young sons arrived in New England.

The Young—Helmholtz theory explains colour vision as resulting from separate retina fibres for red, green and blue light. The theory is named after Thomas Young (1773—1829) and, of course, Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz (1821—94). Young also established the wave theory of light, and assisted in deciphering the Rosetta Stone.

Jazz great, Lester ‘Pres’ Young, got an early start: at the age of 10 he became a drummer in his father’s New Orleans Show. Switching to the saxophone at 13, he made his name when he started playing with the legendary trumpeter, Joe ‘King’ Oliver, in Kansas City, later joining Count Basie’s band for 10 years. His unique, sparse but buoyant sound triggered a bitter controversy which ranged through the jazz world for 15 years. Young’s long-term love affair with Billie Holiday led to a series of recordings still regarded as masterpieces.

US astronaut John Young joined Virgil Grisson on the first two-man space flight, Gemini 3. Seventeen years later he orbited the moon on the final check-out of the Apollo systems before the successful Apollo 11 flight.

The United Kingdom has one related place name-Young’s End, while Canada has 2 (Young and Youngstown) and the United States has 10 including 5 Youngsvilles. Australia has a town called Young, and so does Uruguay. The name is common for geographic features and sometimes refers to the geologic age of the mountain or body of water so named.

THE YOUNG (JUNG) FAMILIES OF THE MOHAWK VALLEY 1710-1946 COMPILED BY: CLIFFORD M. YOUNG
Before attempting to portray with reasonable accuracy the genealogy of a family, where few family records have been preserved, a vast amount of research is necessary. Fortunately, a variety of records are available in the New York State Library at Albany. Unfortunately, many valuable records have been destroyed by fire, through wanton destruction by the Indians and Tories in Revolutionary days, and also through just plain carelessness. Such a stud, to say the least proves to be fascinating and becomes an excellent hobby for a person of leisure. Some historical retrospect should precede a tracing of the genealogy of any of the early Mohawk and Schoharie Valley families, which will show their origin, nationality and something of their outstanding characteristics. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the Holland Dutch were in New York City, as is well known, and also in some parts of the lower Hudson Valley; in Albany and in Schenectady; and perhaps there may have been a few small settlement in the lower Mohawk Valley. West of this was a wilderness inhabited largely by Red Men. In 1710 a large body of immigrants of German stock arrived in New York from the Palatinate on the Rhine and were settled temporarily at East and West Camps on the Hudson River, in what are now Columbia, Greene and Ulster counties. From this stock came the families under consideration here, and many others in Schoharie, Montgomery, Herkimer and neighboring counties, descendants of which reside in those localities today. The historical detail concerning the persecution and extreme hardship borne by these Palatines, their flight from the homeland and the difficulties experience in finally settling in peace in the New World is a most interesting story. Rev. Sanford H. Cobb’s “Palatine Immigration”, Dr. Walter A. Knittle’s “Early Eighteenth Century Emigration”, and other writers tell the story after exhaustive study and research. It is not the purpose of this article to repeat these details which are already in print, but to briefly outline the thread of the story to show the background of the families in question. Cobb says: “The story of their coming hither, with the bitterness of their antecedent suffering and endurance, and the sturdiness of their unconquerable faith and determination to wrest fortune and happiness ou the very talons of despair is one that should be better known to the students of the American history.” …………… In 1730 Hendrick Young purchased 103 acres (Lot 14) from Col. Philip Schuyler, situated on the north side of the river and abutting property of Van Slyck and DePuyster. This tract must have been located between Nelliston and Stone Arabia and extended northeast. In 1732 Hendrick Young deeded this land to Stephanis Groesbeck. Theobald Young and Rutger Bleecker witnessed the signature of Hendrick Young on the deed, which leads one to the conclusion that at that early date these two Young families were residing in the vicinity of what became Canajoharie and Fort Plain. In 1752 we find Theobald Young and three sons- Adam, Frederick and Andreas, securing the Young land patent of 14,000 acres at what is known as the Kyle or Chuyl and Little Lakes section in Herkimer county. The name of Theobald Young does not appear on the large list of names of those who secured the German Flats patent in 1725, as he was probably located at that time in the vicinity of Canajoharie, and probably remained there for several years, as the marriage of Adam is show in the Stone Arabia church record in 1742 (born 1717), and Frederick became a road commissioner and one of the justices of Tryon county, appointed by Governor Tryon. While Frederick has an interest in the Theobald Young land grant, the record is not clear that he ever lived in Herkimer county, but rather south of Canajoharie. Adam did reside in the “Kyle” as elsewhere indicated. About twenty years after the Theobald Young land grant was consummated, Jacob Young, son of Hendrick Young, in 1772, purchased several lots in the Bleecker patent (granted 1729). These lots were located in the western section of Fort Plain and in Freysbush. The two families mentioned Theobald and Hendrick Jung (Young) appear to have been the only families bearing that name who came to the Mohawk Valley at the time of the early land grants mentioned, but there is some indication that Hendrick might have returned to Schoharie. Some of his children were apparently married in Schoharie as indicated by church records there, which was several years after his land deal mentioned above. If his family had been still living in the Mohawk Valley at the time of the marriages of the children, no doubt such marriages would have been recorded in the Stone Arabia church. …………. Hendrick Young and Anna Margaretha (probably Timmerman) arrived in America with the Palatines in 1710 and went to the Camps on the Hudson. He was one of the Palatine volunteers in Col. Nicholson’s expedition against the French in 1711, which apparently amounted to only a long march to the Canadian border and return. The records show that Hendrick and family migrated to Schoharie with that large group settling there about 1712. He and Theobald Young (probably brothers) are the only ones of record (Immigrants) bearing the name “Jung”, who went to Schoharie. Their further migration to the Mohawk Valley is discussed elsewhere in this record. It is regretted that the parentage of Hendrick Jung and the maiden name of Anna Margaretha were not given in any of the early records. Jacob Young was undoubtedly their first born (1710). Perhaps he was born on the high seas or in England before they sailed that year, as church records do not show his birth, except that at the time of his death the records of the Dutch Reformed Church of Sand Hill (Fort Plain) say he was born in 1710. Maria Catherine was born to Hendrick and Margaretha October 28, 1711 (Kocherthal Record). John Hendrick and Anna Margaretha (twins) were born to this couple in Schoharie January 24, 1716. (Kocherthal Record). It should be noted that the Simmendinger Register of 1717 states that Hendrick Jung and Anna Margaretha had four children up to this time, which accounts for Jacob’s birth in 1710, which was not recorded. Peter, birth date not recorded was born this couple probably after 1719, when Rev. Kocherthal had died. John Frederick birth date not found was born to Hendrick and Anna Margaretha Young. It is probable that both Peter and Johann Frederick were born after the twins during that period immediately following the death of Rev. Joshua Kocherthal when records were not well kept; or they may have been born in the Mohawks Country and their births recorded in early churches of either Stone Arabia or German Flats. These churches were destroyed and most of their records lost, so that few baptismal records of that period exist.
