Is there a possibility that this Young family is also connected to an Isobel Young, b. Arbuthnott 1770, d. Johnshaven, 1852, daughter of John Young and Isobel Smith?  Isobel m. 1814 Alexander Fullerton of Benholm.  She is apparently interred in Arbuthnott with a number of Young family members (see pre-1855 for Arbuthnott stone #49 for full list)
Those Fullertons and related names associated with the family of George Fullerton and Margaret Pirie who resided at Mains of Dun about 1740 and Knox of Benholm after 1760, and their descendents scattered from Lunan to Peterhead, across Canada and the United States, and assuredly elsewhere.

Hi Wallyf,

Nice to hear from you although I don't think our ancestors match directly.   My John Young c 1756 Benholm married Mary Waldie in 1780 in Benholm.

There were a lot of Youngs in Johnshaven and it's not easy to differentiate between them as the same Christian names were popular in different families.

Yours
