To add something to the confusion, in a roster composed after the War, circa 1824, thereis a list of Capt. Samuel Hatt’s Flank Company for 1812. The muster roster shows:3. Private David [Henry?] Young - “of Barton”65. Private David Young – “Joined Merritt’s Dragoons in July 1812In another roster, apparently written considerably later (1820 or later) of those, “onService in the year 1812”, the last name on the list is:Private Henry Young and in the Remarks column, “See Capt. Durand’s letter 26 July’24”.It should be noted that number 20 is Private John Green with the Remark that he was“wounded at Queenston” and number 33. is Private John Gordon – “Died of woundsrec’d at the Battle of Queenston. Both Hatt’s Company, and that of Durand, were withBrock at the Battle of Queenston Heights according to John Norton’s Diary. However,the above roster data contains some inconsistencies, and it may be wondered if thereference is to Durand’s Company or Hatt’s Company, although taken as a whole itwould seem that Henry Young (b. 1787) was in Captain Hatt’s Flank Company of theLincoln Militia before joining that of his father, and irrespective, did see action at theBattle of Queenston Heights.Daniel signed affidavits for his son (at the time the latter applied for Son of UE land forhimself and Daughter of UE land for his wife Rachel Young) reporting that Henry hadserved with his Company and did his duty as a soldier.The matter become entirely clear by Oct 1812 when Sergeant Henry Young begins toappear consistently in his father’s rosters.Commanding Officer: Captain Daniel Young.
