Youngs, Jesse, (deceased) was one of the pioneers of Mazeppa township,
taking a claim in the fall of 1856 on section 8, where he died in
September, 1865. He was born near Stanton, Connecticut, in 1789, and
served through the war of 1812. His father was a revolutionary soldier. He
married Martha McBride, and settled in Livingston county, New York, where
he remained till he came here. He had two sons and two daughters. The
eldest son, Enoch, came here with his father and took up a claim near by.
He enlisted in February, 1862, in the 5th Minn. Vols., and was shot in
Texas by guerrillas in 1864. He left a wife and five children. The other
son remains on his father's original claim. Matilda J., one of the
daughters, married Zerch Cornish and lives near Sleepy Eye. Anna married
Charles Sibley, and lives near her brother on the old claim.
