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.
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.
