Read More	William Young and a friend, James Reid, came to Canada in 1842 from Laurencekirk, Kincardineshire (now amalgamated with Aberdeenshire, but historically called the Mearns). William, the son of Hugh Young II, had apprenticed as a carpenter with his mother's father. He travelled about the country building mills until he purchased land north or Claremont, in Uxbridge Township, where he settled down and raised his family. He built his own farm house, the first Presbyterian Church, the manse, the Web School (where his children attended) and a retirement home, next to the manse in Claremont, where he eventually moved and where he passed away in 1909. He was an elder of the church, tavern inspector for the township and sat on the school board. On his death certificate he was recorded as a gentleman and respected by all who knew him. A street in Claremont called "William Street" was named after him. His grave has been moved twice. When the larger new Presbyterian Church was built, all the graves from the original Presbyterian Church were moved to the Baptist Cemetery. When the septic system for the Baptist Church was installed the graves were moved further away from the building and placed in a small enclosure, where it is today. The family reunion is held in conjunction with the Highlands of Durham Scottish Festival each year. For more information contact Douglas Young at [email protected] Note there is a Robert Young born 1861 died 1914 in Toronto as well, but his grave has not been found yet.
