J. Christian Young (Jung) came to America probably in the 1750's. He lived in Montgomery, Orange County, New York. Anna Christiana was his second of three wives. (His first was Maria Contryman and his last was Elizabeth Teis). Anna Christiana was was a widow when they married. Her last name was Schmidt, although I'm not sure if this refers to her maiden name or the name of her first husband. There was a Christian Young from New York who was a corporal in the Revolutionary War. This may be our ancestor, J. Christian Young.
