The corrections and additions to Jacobus, Donald Lines, MA (compiler, editor.) History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield. (Fairfield, Conn.: The Eunice Dennie Burr Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution, 1930.) Vol II pt 1 p 354 list Bethia Youngs as second wife. Although not definitive, Jacobus is usually right.

Two of the sources Torrey lists:
  • Selah Youngs, Youngs family gives the date of the marriage license as 1683, and the source as "Cal. Hist. Doc. N.Y. i. p 703." (But I have no idea what that means) See:Page 48.
