Seems there were 3 people named Christopher Youngs In early 1695 Southhold: Christopher Yonge-44, Senior (Mary Budd’s husband), Christopher (Mary Budd’s son), and Christopher son of Reverend John.

 When Christopher-44 Senior died in 1695 the son of Reverend John became the new Christopher, senior. That is why when he died in 1698 he was called Christopher youngs, senior. The Christopher Youngs who d. 1695 married (1st Anna Niccols, ) 2nd Mary Budd. He was father of Benjamin, Christopher and John (1698 census), and the son-in-law of the John Budd Who died in 1684.

*Selah Youngs did not have benefit of a computer, the Internet and all the available records. I just happened to come across the Christopher Yonge records in Salem, And Wenham, Mass. which answer a lot of questions.  Selah Youngs claimed that this line died out.
