Remained with his father in the original brick home
He was lame in the hip for life from a cold caught after wading in
the Green River in a chase of a deer near Deer Hill. He was the
father of Clarissa Crofoot, who was the wife of John Young, and
who died here as his widow April 4, 1876: John Young died May
12, 1857: he was the father also of Orange and of Joseph 3d. The
latter married Ruth Williams here on Thanksgiving Day, 1811, and
moved to Batavia, New York, where he died Thanksgiving Day,
1812, aged twenty-four. His brother, Orange, married his widow,
and they continued on the brick homestead here until it was sold
to another member of the same family. Image 549 653
