Note

:Birth place on 1880 census for son Delos(s) Young who states his father & mother were both born in MA

"Rensellier" Young, age 40, shoemaker, was listed in the 1850 census in Holland, Hampden, MA. He was staying at a tavern run by Elisha Kinney (innkeeper).

In 1860, he was listed as "Renseler" in Union, Tolland, CT, age 58, day laborer, living on Nathaniel Newell's farm. (Albert Slade, shoemaker, lived next door).

Both census records list CT as his birthplace.

1860 Wisconsin Census states that he ran away from the family, see notes for Julia

I would guess that Rensselaer "ran away" in late 1849 or early 1850; that is, after Susan was engendered, but before 6 September 1850, when the census was taken in Holland, MA.
