I am looking for any information on Ebenezer Young and his family. Latin master at the Inverness Acadamy. He died 12 Sept 1808. He was married to Margaret Smith died 27 Nov 1812. They were married on 9 Jul 1792 in Inverness. I believe they had 9 children.

1. Donald Smith Young b 1792 d 1852
2. John Young b 1793 d bef 1795
3. John Smith Young b1795? d 1868
4. Edward James Young b 1797 d bef 1871?
5. Ebenezer Withrington Young b 1799? d 1806
6. Margaret Fraser Young b 1801 d 1827
7. Mary Young b 1803
8. Simon Alexander George Young b 1805 d 1873 Clifton, Bristol my Great (x3) grandfather
9. Ebenezer Young b 1808

Ebenezer was prior to 1792 Rector of Queensferry Grammar School. He also translated the Acadamy's Royal Charter into Latin

Does anyone out there know of any MI's relating to the family or have any other snippets of information/additions or corrections?

Many thanks to those who take the trouble to read this

Hi Everyone. I know I am joining this chat way beyond the last posting date. However, I am very hopeful that someone will come across my post and be able to provide some information that may prove helpful in all searching the Youngs of Jamaica.

My family is from Hanover, Jamaica and we are able to trace our family back to two Edward James Youngs:
(1) Edward James Young abt. 1815 - 4 Nov 1914 Friendship, Hopewell, Hanover, Jamaica
(2) Edward James Young abt. 1827 - 4 Jun  1914 Askenish, Hanover, Jamaica

Our family has an oral story that we are the descendants of 3 brothers who came to Jamaica from Scotland to oversee plantations. This is a story that many Jamaican families have which may be a nicer way to explain how we ended up on the island. So I really want to find proof by way of documentation and DNA.

I have recently come across a DNA match on Ancestry that lists Ebenezer Young in their family tree. Has anyone on this board, who descends from Ebenezer Young, done DNA testing? We have family members on Ancestry, 23AndMe, Myheritage and GEDMatch. I would love to see if we match to any of your kits.

I look forward to any insight that anyone is able to share.
