Son of Henry Young and Phoebe VanEvery.John appears to have resided in Ancaster or close by in Barton (northern portion) and isoften found in same unit as his brother David. In order to compile a complete record itwill be necessary to ensure that all companies of the 5 th Lincoln Militia have beenchecked (especially those for Capt. Charles Durand’s Company), as well as thoseadjacent (e.g., 4 th Lincoln Militia), however John Young is a very common name and ittoo far afield, it is likely another unrelated John Young that is recorded in the documents.1812Captain James Durand 2 nd Flank Company “on Service in the year 1812”Private John Young --------------Captain Daniel Young’s CompanyRank and File John Young17 Oct to 24 Oct, 8 days24 Sep to 24 Nov25 Oct to 24 Nov, 31 days12

There is a problem in identifying who this individual was.Henry Young (b. 1762) was residing in Ancaster after 1798 (although could havereturned to reside on the Grand River for the duration of the War of 1812). The otherHenry Young of record (b. 1787) resided in Barton near Ryckman’s Corners and was inhis father’s company of the 5 th Lincoln Militia for the most of the War, except during theearly part of 1812 when he was with a Flank Company of the 5 th . So who was thefollowing Henry Young? Perhaps an unrecorded son of Henry (b. 1762) who diedshortly after the War? Henry, as do many men of the 2 nd who resided along the GrandRiver, only appears in the records of 1812.181213
