Editor: Though there is only one person with the last name of Youngs listed on this
register, many with last names of Terry, Horton, Tuthill, Wells, Cleveland, Wiggins, etc.,
are also, somewhere in their ancestry, Youngs. The North Fork of Long Island, in its early
English history, had much intermarriage amongst the early settlers. (continued)
"The Youngs Family of Oyster Bay Cove"
by William H. Peck
Excerpted from the Preliminary Draft of March 8, 1990
"What follows relates the history of the arrival in Oyster Bay Cove of Thomas
Youngs some time after 1650, and of the generations of his descendants who lived there for
well over 250 Years. The land records to be presented involve lands owned by the Youngs
family in the area of the Cove and Cove Swamp, and on Cove Neck.
Their holdings fronting on the Cove began at the Cove Landing, which separated them
from the properties on the west side of the Cove eventually becoming the Weeks farm. From
the landing their lands ran east and north to the large Cooper tract covering the north
end of the Neck.
They owned along Cold Spring Harbor to Laurel Hollow Road, also some pieces east of
Laurel Hollow. From Laurel Hollow Road their line worked back to Cove Road along Sunset
Road, with one of the Fleet Farms as a neighbor south of that road.
On the north and west sides of Cove Road it was Youngs land from the top of Cove Hill
east and south to the other fleet farm, the two families meeting at the old school
property, which was on the Fleet side. Even this Fleet property, with its mill, belonged
to the Youngs family in the earliest years.
It should be noted that in the 1600s the road to Huntington did not follow today's Cove
Road down the west side of the swamp. Rather, it followed the shore towards Cove Neck,
crossed Cove Creek, then headed south down the east side of the swamp. After the route
changed to the west side, this original eastern road was referred to as the old
road'.

Part 1 - Arrival in Oyster Bay Cove
For over 250 years many generations of the Youngs Family lived at Oyster Bay Cove. The
first to come was Thomas Youngs, who arrived in the mid-1600s. The actual date is not
certain, but some say it was 1654. His original dwelling may be part of the house at the
head of the Cove, now the residence of P. James Roosevelt. The material which follows
relies to some extent upon a genealogy written in the 19th centure by one of the Oyster
Bay descendants, Daniel Kelsey Youngs, entitled Rev. Christopher Yonges and Pastor
John Youngs - Thomas Youngs of Oyster Bay and his Descendants.' (continued)
