Christopher Youngs
| Charts | Ancestors of Edward Ambrose Cooke |
Christopher Youngs, son of Reverend John Youngs and Joan Harris, was born about 1638.1,2 He died at Southold, Suffolk Co., New York, 31 July 1695.1,3
Christopher married (1) Mary (…), whose ancestry is unknown (or not traced here), before 1668;1,4 he married (2) Mary Budd, daughter of John Budd and Mary Horton, at Southold, about 1675.1,4
Christopher Youngs was known in Southold as "Senior" to distinguish him from his younger cousin Christopher, born in 1643. His signature uses both "Youngs" and "Yong", but his cousin made his mark.
He was a mariner and had a half interest in the sloop Speedwell, apparently in partnership with his father-in-law, John Budd.
He left Southold for Elizabethtown, New Jersey in 1665 with his brother Thomas and others, but in November 1667 he sold his house and lands there and returned to Southold.
In Southold, he first owned a house and home lot on the north side of Town Street, which he bought from Enathan Topping, but he sold this 20 October 1670, first wife Mary also signing.
1 August 1670 he bought a house and home lot from Benjamin Horton, on the south side of Town Street and adjoining that of his borther, Col John Youngs.
In 1675 he was rated for £120 10s. In 1686 he had 4 males and 2 females in his family.
In 1675, his mother bought from John Core a piece "two pole square" and gave it to her son so that he might have a full frontage on the street. By her will she also bequeathed to him other lands.
He also received a gift of land from his father, bought land from his brother Thomas, and made numerous other purchases and sales.
By the will of his father-in-law John Budd, his wife inherited various parcels, and 2 February 1685, he receipted to the executors for the legacy.
Sometime after his death, John Budd, eldest brother of "Mary, widow of Christopher Youngs, deceased," gave her and her two sons Christopher and John, a deed confirming to them the "Ockebock" lands which she had inherited by the will of her father. The intent of this was to secure this land to her sons, independent of Christopher's son Benjamin, by his first wife.
Christopher and John went to live on that land at Acquebauk, and on 12 May 1712, agreed to divide it after the death of their mother. However, they seem to have divided it earlier for in 1723/4, for some amount of money, she gave a quit claim to her son John for his part o fthe land "as divided."
He died intestate, and letters of administration were granted to Mary the widow, and Benjamin, the eldest son.
In the census of 1698, Mary Youngs Jun, widow, Chritopher, Anna Phibe, and Eliza Youngs were in one group; Eliza was probably the wife of Christopher. John is in the next group, probably living with John Griffen, learning the shoemaker's trade.1
