Monroe County Biographical Sketches, Benton Township, p. 670 David A. YOUNG, farmer and stock-raiser, is a son of Abraham and Susan (WHISENNAND) YOUNG, natives of Kentucky and Virginia respectively, and of German extraction. The paternal grandfather of our subject, David YOUNG, moved to this county from Kentucky in the earliest days, and settled and made a home here. He was the parent of four sons and three daughters. Abraham YOUNG began life poor, but, by industry and care, made a good home and farm of 120 acres. He was a member of the Christian Church, and died February 14, 1850, aged forty-three, leaving a wife, who still survives, aged seventy-six, and six children. David A. YOUNG was born in this township, March 7, 1829, the eldest of the family. After working on the home farm until his twentieth year, he began life for himself by farming on rented land. July 27, 1848, he married Miss Elizabeth, daughter of Hugh and Nancy McCLUNG, who were among the first settlers in this township. This union was honored with twelve children, of which number ten yet are living - Nancy J., Amanda, John, Mary E. Sarah C., Saretha A., James A., Cora Bell, Isaac N. and David Omar. Mr. YOUNG continued to labor for house and land for years, and in 1858, purchased his father’s farm of 112 acres, where he has since resided, devoting himself to stock-raising as well as agriculture. Mr. YOUNG is a highly esteemed citizen, and he and wife are members of the Christian Church.
