Biography

Name
Her given name was Abigail who was the daughter of Henry and Mary Howland.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Birth
Abigail Elizabeth Howland, daughter of Henry and Mary Howland, was born say 1628 (based on the date of her marriage). It is believed that her father did not immigrate until 1632, so Abigail was probably born in England.[1] Her baptism or birth record has not yet been found, but it is possible that she may have been born in London, England during or after Henry Howland's apprenticeship with the bond of 7 years under his brother, Humphrey Howland between 1623 and 1630 in Drapers' Company in London, England. Unfortunately, his apprenticeship was not completed by 1630 as the agreement required him to complete it. The cause of incompleteness was not explained in the records of Drapers' Company.

Some genealogists believed that she was born in Plymouth Colony[2][3] in 1628.[4] However, it is disproven because her father, Henry Howland was the apprentice under his brother, Humphrey Howland on 1 October 1623 in Drapers' Company in London, England, but he was supposed to complete his apprenticeship by 1630. Her father, Henry Howland and his family emigrated to Plymouth Colony before her father was recorded on a tax list, dated 25 March 1633.

Marriage

Abigail Howland maried John Young[1][4][5][6][7] on 13 December 1648[4][5][6][7] in Plymouth Colony.[1][5][6][7]

"Abigail Howland died at Eastham, 7 April 1692, where she was identified as the "wife of John Younge Sr." She undoubtedly was the "A[

Background of Abigail Howland's Husband

John Young was born about 1615 in England and he died January 28, 1690/91 in Eastham, Barnstable, Massachusetts. The names of his parents and the location of his birth are unknown but he may be the son of Sir John Young of Devonshire, England, who received with others, on March 19, 1627/8 a grant from the Plymouth Council, of a tract of land three miles north of the Merrimac River and three miles south of the Charles River. Sir John Young had a son John Young, Jr.[9][10]

"John Young sailed from England for Barbados on the sailing vessel Hopewell on 2 Feb 1634 at the age of nineteen (19). He was of a Norfolkshire family.[10]

His stay in Barbados or the fact of his reaching the destination is not known. John first appeared in Plymouth records in 1643 in a list of men eligible for military service.[10]

“In John Young of Eastham by Elisabeth Ridgely Young 1908 - (NEHGS manuscripts), it states that John Young was bound for Barbados and later landed in Plymouth.”[11]

“John Young was living at Plymouth in 1643 when his name appeared on a list as being between 16 & 60 years old and able to bear arms. In 1644 an inventory of John Jenney's estate showed 1 lb & 2 cents as being owed to John Yeonge. About 1650 John removed to Eastham and in 1654 was chosen as constable. He was a soldier from Eastham 1653 when preparations for war against the Dutch were being made.”[12]

Probate Records

Her estate had a ruling by the court stating that her estate had been adequately disposed of on 18 October 1692. In the absence of a will for Abigail Young, there are recorded several declarations that were brought to court on 19 April 1692 concerning the estate of the deceased Widow Young of Eastham. Joseph Young said his mother told him that when she died she would leave all her estate with Henry Young if Robert Young still had "that girl." but if Robert Young "had her not," the estate should be divided between Henry Young and Robert Young. Nathaniel Young testified much the same. Sarah, wife of Joseph Young, swore under oath on 25 April 1692 that "mother Young" had told her, some three weeks before, that her daughter Abigail Young had asked her to give each daughter a platter or something to remember her by, but the mother said she would not give them anything except possibly an earthen cup and platter to Lydia Young . All the rest was to go to Henry Young but if Robert Young did not have "that girl," and if Henry Young was willing, Robert Young should have half of her estate. On 18 October 1692, the court ruled that the widow had adequately disposed of her estate, and three of her sons (John, Joseph, and Henry Young) agreed. Robert Young must have kept the girl.[15]

Research Notes

Marriage

:Note 1: John is listed in different sources as marrying Abigail and Elizabeth on the same day. Abigail and Elizabeth are the same person. [Source needed].

:Note 2: John married Abigail Howland on Dec 13, 1648, in Plymouth. He was born circa 1624 in England, and she was born circa 1629 in Plymouth Colony. John died on January 28/29, 1690/91, and his wife Agibail died on April 7, 1692.[2][3]

:Note 3: On 13 December 1648, Abigail Howland married John Young, son of Rev. John Young (circa 1598 - 1671) & Joan Herrington (b. circa 1598), at Plymouth, Massachusetts. Born ca 1624 in England. John died at Eastham, Massachusetts, on 28 Jan 1690/1.[4]

:Note 4: However, the John Young, son of John YONGES married Joan Herrington who was born 10 Apr 1623 and died 12 Apr 1698 in Southold, Suffolk, New York. He secondly married Mary Gardner abt 1653 and after her decease, he then married Hannah Anne Wines.[4]

:Note 5: John YOUNG Rev. was born about 1629 in Devonshire, England. He died on 25 Jan 1690 in Eastham, Barnstable County, Massachusetts. John Young married Abigail HOWLAND daughter of Henry HOWLAND and Mary NEWLAND on 13 Dec 1648. Abigail died on 7 Apr 1692 in Eastham, Barnstable County, Massachusetts. (2/16/14: Material moved from the profile of John Howland.) This section needs to be sourced.[7]

:Note 6: “The date of the marriage of Abigail to John Young is in dispute. According to Howland's History, this Abigail married Young on 2 9m [November] 1678, a date not found in any records relating to Abigail and one too late to accord with her being called Abigail Young in her mother's will of 1674. Howland's alleged date is the one found in the Friends Records for the marriage of an Abigail Howland to Richard Keerby (see Abigail, widow of No.2, Zoeth Howland). The names of some of the children born to John Young and wife Abigail (e.g., Joseph, Henry, and possibly Robert) are Howland names and re compatible with a presumption that the mother was a daughter of Henry Howland; but if she were, Abigail was married many years earlier. A likely record of the marriage is the previously cited one in 1684. Extensive information is available on the family, both published and unpublished. A quick review of the Youngs in Plymouth Colony, made by the the [sic] authors Wakefield and Sherman, suggests that this John is the only Young in the colony likely to be Abigail's husband.”[15] This is a decently sourced out report with lots of potential for further study.

Abigail's Husbands Background

John Young was born about 1615 in England and he died January 28, 1690/91 in Eastham, Barnstable, Massachusetts. The names of his parents and the location of his birth are unknown but he may be the son of Sir John Young of Devonshire, England, who received with others, on March 19, 1627/8 a grant from the Plymouth Council, of a tract of land three miles north of the Merrimac River and three miles south of the Charles River. Sir John Young had a son John Young, Jr.[1]

In a will dated 1688 he left all his real and personal property to his wife and kids -

most the family probably died at the old Duxbury homestead.

Her given name was Abigail who was the daughter of Henry and Mary Howland.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Birth

Abigail Howland, daughter of Henry and Mary Howland, was born say 1628 (based on the date of her marriage). It is believed that her father did not immigrate until 1632, so Abigail was probably born in England.[1] Her baptism or birth record has not yet been found, but it is possible that she may have been born in London, England during or after Henry Howland's apprenticeship with the bond of 7 years under his brother, Humphrey Howland between 1623 and 1630 in Drapers' Company in London, England. Unfortunately, his apprenticeship was not completed by 1630 as the agreement required him to complete it. The cause of incompleteness was not explained in the records of Drapers' Company.

Some genealogists believed that she was born in Plymouth Colony[2][3] in 1628.[4] However, it is disproven because her father, Henry Howland was the apprentice under his brother, Humphrey Howland on 1 October 1623 in Drapers' Company in London, England, but he was supposed to complete his apprenticeship by 1630. Her father, Henry Howland and his family emigrated to Plymouth Colony before her father was recorded on a tax list, dated 25 March 1633.

Marriage

Abigail Howland maried John Young[1][4][5][6][7] on 13 December 1648[4][5][6][7] in Plymouth Colony.[1][5][6][7]

"Abigail Howland died at Eastham, 7 April 1692, where she was identified as the "wife of John Younge Sr." She undoubtedly was the "A[

Background of Abigail Howland's Husband

John Young was born about 1615 in England and he died January 28, 1690/91 in Eastham, Barnstable, Massachusetts. The names of his parents and the location of his birth are unknown but he may be the son of Sir John Young of Devonshire, England, who received with others, on March 19, 1627/8 a grant from the Plymouth Council, of a tract of land three miles north of the Merrimac River and three miles south of the Charles River. Sir John Young had a son John Young, Jr.[9][10]

"John Young sailed from England for Barbados on the sailing vessel Hopewell on 2 Feb 1634 at the age of nineteen (19). He was of a Norfolkshire family.[10]

His stay in Barbados or the fact of his reaching the destination is not known. John first appeared in Plymouth records in 1643 in a list of men eligible for military service.[10]

“In John Young of Eastham by Elisabeth Ridgely Young 1908 - (NEHGS manuscripts), it states that John Young was bound for Barbados and later landed in Plymouth.”[11]

“John Young was living at Plymouth in 1643 when his name appeared on a list as being between 16 & 60 years old and able to bear arms. In 1644 an inventory of John Jenney's estate showed 1 lb & 2 cents as being owed to John Yeonge. About 1650 John removed to Eastham and in 1654 was chosen as constable. He was a soldier from Eastham 1653 when preparations for war against the Dutch were being made.”[12]

Children

Abigail Howland and John Young had 13 known children as follow:

George Young John Young Thomas Young Joseph Young Joseph Young Nathaniel Young Mary (Young Smith Abigail Young David Young Lydia (Young) Murdock Robert Young Henry Young Henry Young Death

Abigial Young died on 7 April 1692 in Eastham, Barnstable County, Masachusetts Bay.[2][3][4][7][13]

Probate Records

Her estate had a ruling by the court stating that her estate had been adequately disposed of on 18 October 1692. In the absence of a will for Abigail Young, there are recorded several declarations that were brought to court on 19 April 1692 concerning the estate of the deceased Widow Young of Eastham. Joseph Young said his mother told him that when she died she would leave all her estate with Henry Young if Robert Young still had "that girl." but if Robert Young "had her not," the estate should be divided between Henry Young and Robert Young. Nathaniel Young testified much the same. Sarah, wife of Joseph Young, swore under oath on 25 April 1692 that "mother Young" had told her, some three weeks before, that her daughter Abigail Young had asked her to give each daughter a platter or something to remember her by, but the mother said she would not give them anything except possibly an earthen cup and platter to Lydia Young . All the rest was to go to Henry Young but if Robert Young did not have "that girl," and if Henry Young was willing, Robert Young should have half of her estate. On 18 October 1692, the court ruled that the widow had adequately disposed of her estate, and three of her sons (John, Joseph, and Henry Young) agreed. Robert Young must have kept the girl.[14]

Research Notes

Marriage

:Note 1: John is listed in different sources as marrying Abigail and Elizabeth on the same day. Abigail and Elizabeth are the same person. [Source needed].

:Note 2: John married Abigail Howland on Dec 13, 1648, in Plymouth. He was born circa 1624 in England, and she was born circa 1629 in Plymouth Colony. John died on January 28/29, 1690/91, and his wife Agibail died on April 7, 1692.[2][3]

:Note 3: On 13 December 1648, Abigail Howland married John Young, son of Rev. John Young (circa 1598 - 1671) & Joan Herrington (b. circa 1598), at Plymouth, Massachusetts. Born ca 1624 in England. John died at Eastham, Massachusetts, on 28 Jan 1690/1.[4]

:Note 4: However, the John Young, son of John YONGES married Joan Herrington who was born 10 Apr 1623 and died 12 Apr 1698 in Southold, Suffolk, New York. He secondly married Mary Gardner abt 1653 and after her decease, he then married Hannah Anne Wines.[4]

:Note 5: John YOUNG Rev. was born about 1629 in Devonshire, England. He died on 25 Jan 1690 in Eastham, Barnstable County, Massachusetts. John Young married Abigail HOWLAND daughter of Henry HOWLAND and Mary NEWLAND on 13 Dec 1648. Abigail died on 7 Apr 1692 in Eastham, Barnstable County, Massachusetts. (2/16/14: Material moved from the profile of John Howland.) This section needs to be sourced.[7]

:Note 6: “The date of the marriage of Abigail to John Young is in dispute. According to Howland's History, this Abigail married Young on 2 9m [November] 1678, a date not found in any records relating to Abigail and one too late to accord with her being called Abigail Young in her mother's will of 1674. Howland's alleged date is the one found in the Friends Records for the marriage of an Abigail Howland to Richard Keerby (see Abigail, widow of No.2, Zoeth Howland). The names of some of the children born to John Young and wife Abigail (e.g., Joseph, Henry, and possibly Robert) are Howland names and re compatible with a presumption that the mother was a daughter of Henry Howland; but if she were, Abigail was married many years earlier. A likely record of the marriage is the previously cited one in 1684. Extensive information is available on the family, both published and unpublished. A quick review of the Youngs in Plymouth Colony, made by the the [sic] authors Wakefield and Sherman, suggests that this John is the only Young in the colony likely to be Abigail's husband.”[14] This is a decently sourced out report with lots of potential for further study.
