- He and his wife (a cousin of his) immigrated to America in 1740/1741 according to his son Johns' testimony in court when he was 81 years of age. In 1742, he and his brothers can be found in the muster lists for Augusta Co., Virginia. Cy, V.II, pg 509, "Capt. John Willson's Lists: John Wilson, Captain; Sam Calehison, Nathan Lusk, John Shields, John Greer, John Patterson, George Davison. John Hunter, Wm. Hunter, James Hunter, John Rusk, James Clark, Wm. Vance, Rob Croket, John Trumble, Wm. King, Sa. Walace, John Spear, Thomas Peery, Alex. McConnel, Rob. Young, James Young, Jacob Lockard, Patt. Cook, James Lockard, William McCutcheon, James McCutcheon, Rob. McCutcheon, Alex. Crocket, Wm. Camble, Nathl. Davis, James Philip, John Barclay, James Lusk, James Trumble, Benj. Walker, Wm. Leadgerwood, Morris Offral, Rob Davies, John Brown, Wm. McClantok, Wm. Johnson, John Young, Hugh Young, Thos. Kirkpatrick, David Camble, John McCutcheon." He lived near his brother, Robert, in Augusta Co., VA where they lived out the rest of their lives. He received a patent for his 586 acres of land in Beverley Manor (later to become Augusta Co., VA) in 1746, three years before he and his brothers all bought land on Feb. 28, 1749. He acquired 200 acres on that day in Beverley Manor. He is the Hugh Young in the following Chalkley record, "Page 109.--15th February, 1748. Jane Cook's bond as administratrix of Patrick Cook, with sureties Hugh Young, Robt. Young, John Spear... Page 55.--15th May, 1754. Hugh Young's bond as guardian (appointed) to Mary and John Cook, orphans of Patrick Cook, with sureties Robert Patterson, William Hamilton. Jane was his sister." He is the Hugh Young in the following record from Chalkley, V.II, Page 22.--"William McFeters and Patrick Martin report, viz: Processioned for James Bell, Maurice Ofrail; Wm. King, Samuel Wallace, HughYoung, John Trimble, Wm. McFeters, Jacob Lockhart, Thos. Kirkpatrick, James Clerk, John McCery, Nathan Patterson, Capt. John Wilson, Robert Campbell, Andrew Pickens and Wm. Martin, Robert Campbell, David Campbell, James Lockhart, David Cunningham, Alex. Campbell, Patrick Cook, Patrick Martin." We do know that Hugh had at least 3 children from records in Chaukley. Their son Thomas was killed as a teenager at the Battle of Kerr's Creek. Their daughter, Mary, married John Cartmill. Their son John was an aid to General Washington and was an ancestor to our current day Senator, John McCain.
However, Hugh and brother James did not leave wills, so in reality, we do not know how many children either Hugh or James had. We do know that Hugh was sued by William Dean, the husband of Mary Cooke, the only child of Patrick Cooke in 1763. He was her guardian and Uncle. This case was concluded in 1765.
The early William in the area that had children starting in 1763 could be the son of this Hugh or his brother James C. Young.The following records likely apply to him in Chaulkley's.*Page 547.--28th February, 1749. Same to Hugh Young, farmer, 200 acres in Beverley Manor, joining his former survey. Pat Martin's line. Corner Pickin's old place; William McClintock's line. Teste: John Brown.*Page 32.--25th March, 1749. John Young's estate, Dr. to James C. Young, administrator: To funeral charges,
