John is highly likely to have had siblings. Persons of the same surname and similar age in the Carmony Church Records in co. Antrim were: James, Robert, Matthew, Charles and William.

He is probably the John who was in a typo error in Chalkley with the following record: Page 219.--17th March, 1707. Robert Young and Mary to John Young, both of Forks of James River, 5 shillings, 112 acres in Forks of James. Delivered John Young, March, 1776.

There is an unexplained John in the Court records in Augusta Co., VA who dies in 1747. His administrator was his brother, James who died before he could take care of John's estate. His surities were placed by Robert Young and Partte Martin. It is probable that this is the same John as listed here, and that he moved to the colonies with some of his adult sons. If so, then James is a proven sibling from the statement of same in John's administration with Robert being John's son. (CL-541) Here are the references to it as stated in Chalkley: June 17, 1747. (216) Administration upon John Young granted to James Young (his brother.) 1745-1748 Young's appraisement. James Young and John Young, deceased. 17th March, 1741. 1747, James Young's petition to administer on estate of John Young, his brother and nearest heir, 17th June, 1747....Wills Page 46.--17th June. 1747. James Young (I) qualifies administrator of John Young, with sureties Partt Martin, Robert Young....Page 76.--17th March, 1747. John Young's appraisement.....Page 32.--25th March, 1749. John Young's estate, Dr. to James C. Young, administrator: To funeral charges, Ð4. To cash, by Henry Downs, Capt. Danl. McAnare. Capt. John Brown, Hugh Young, Robt. Scott, Robt. Boyd, John Davis.

A pattern that also supports this John coming to the Virginia with his sons is the fact that his son Robert inherited his 234 acres of land and then passed it down to his son John. Robert also forcibly and violently took John's property from the sheriff after his death. He was "unhappy" with how his estate was being settled.

There was a William Young living in Augusta County that was born shortly after the year 1702 according to the following entry in Chalkley who might be a brother or nephew of this John. William Anderson vs. William Young-O. S. 17; N. S. 6--Answer filed 29th November, 1802, Augusta. William Young (stated in answer) is near one hundred years old. 1 2

Marriage Information:

John married Annie HOUSTON before 1695 in , co. Antrim, IRE 1.
Was in family linen manufacturing business on Larne River Antrim County, North Ireland
John Young (Andrew Lamont Young, Sir John Lamont) m. Annie Houston in County Antrim before 1695. He is the only known son of Andrew and Mary Adair Young, but there were probably others. Possible siblings for John include: James, Robert, Matthew, Charles and William, as found in the Carmoney Church records in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. There were possibly others. Many Youngs still live in the Larne area who probably descend from Andrew Young. Annie Houston is from the same family as Texas' Sam Houston. There are some entries in Chalkley's Court References of the Scots/Irish Settlement of Augusta Co., VA that suggest that John may have come to America with his adult children. If these references are to this John Young, then it is a certainty that he had a brother James, as James is made administrator of this John's estate and referred to as John's brother. This John died in 1747. James then died before he could get John's estate settled. Research is ongoing.
