Biography

Sarah Young: Born on 20 Dec 1724, in York, York, Maine. She was the Daughter of Jonathan,Jun.Young, and Abigail (Came) Young.^[1]

Ebenezer Redlon, eldest son of Magnus, was born in York, Me. (then in the Province of Massachusetts), Feb. 13, 1723; married Aug. 8, 1751, Sarah Young (she was presumably his own cousin and sister of the Rowland Young who was captured by the Indians and carried to Canada), of York, or Pepperellborough (Saco), and settled immediately on land in Narraganset No. 1, now Buxton, Me.^[2]

Ebenezer Redlon, son of Magnus Redland, the Acadian, was born in "old York" in 1723; married Sarah Young, his cousin, and settled in Narragansett, No. I, about 1751, on the right side of the road leading from the Haines' meadow to Shadagec, near where the graceful elm now stands on the rising ground above the site of the Goodwin house. In an old document it was stated that his house, in 1798, was not half finished; had six windows containing eighteen square feet of glass, and covered 890 feet of ground. The foundation of the chimney could be seen in 1882, and the ancient apple tree, once known as "Redlon's orchard," was then bearing fruit ; since hewed down. Mr. Redlon entered the army of the Revolution and died in the service. May 5, 1777. His son Jeremiah and two maiden daughters lived on the place until old age. Jeremiah was a quaint, surly old fellow, who wore a PLANTATION AND TOWNSHIP SETTLEMENTS. Ill coon-skin cap with the tail hanging behind, and made buttons for his homespun clothing from pieces of sole leather.^[3]

Disputed Marriage

There was one other cousin Ebenezer Redlon that had the name Sarah Young at the time and but in a different location,and she was 10 years younger Which was a daughter of Job Young Jr. But that Sara Young was born on July 23rd 1734 and by the time the marriage date of Ebenezer Redlon that G.T. Ridlon provides, August 8th 1751 she would have only just turned 17. And this Sarah Young was in the same area and born 10 years earlier. So is the only possible Sarah Young Mentioned in Ebenezer Redlon's Married record that's relevant And the only other 'Sarah Young' it possibly could be.(But needs further evidence to be proven.)
