Biography

Daniel Young, a son of George Young and Rachel Willson, was born June 7, 1820 in Crowland, Welland, Ontario, Canada^[1] and died there on September 1, 1901.^{[2][3] [4][5][6]}

The following extract is from The History of the County of Welland, Ontario,^[7] and was written when Daniel was still alive:

"Daniel Young, farmer and weaver, was born in Crowland Township on the seventh day of June, 1820, on the farm on which he still resides. He is a son of George and Rachel (Wilson) Young. His grandparents were among the first settlers on the Chippawa, they having come to this part of the country as early as 1786. Mr. Young's father was a tiller of the soil all his life ; he cut the first tree of the bush and broke the first sod of the farm on which our subject now lives ; his busy life ended about 1840. Mr. Young was brought up a farmer and learned the trade of weaving from his mother. He has been married three times, first, in 1846, to Margaret Misener, a daughter of Matthias Misener, whose biography appears elsewhere in this work ; second, in 1852, to Adeline Matthews, a daughter of Leonard M. Matthews. In 1864 he married his present wife, Rachel Ann Misener, daughter of Adam Misener and Elizabeth Miller of the township of Brantford.^[8] She is a grand-daughter of Peter and Deborah (Wilson) Misener, who were of Pennsylvania Dutch descent ; her grand-parents were William and Mary (Fonger) Miller ; and great grand-parents were Jacob and Catharine (Fonger) Vansickle. His family are: by his first wife, Rhoda Augustine; by his second wife, Amasa Webster, George Daniel, Calista Amelia, Anna Eva ; by his third wife, William Nelson, Adam Kingman, Ira Elmor, Maitland Stanley, and Peter Clayton. Mr. Young has been a member of township council ; has also assessed the township twice, and has been a member of the school board for a number of years, which position he still holds. He is an active, earnest member of the Good Templars and Sons of Temperance."
