except some English books such as my wife or my other children shall choose out
for their use, one or two apiece. To John and Thomas Yonges my grand children,

Southwold to be executors." (Consistory Court Norwich 1626. No. 164).

"Rev. Christopher Yonges, Vicar of Reydon and Southwold, England,
was our last resident English ancestor, and the principal account of him
will be found in the chapters on "By the ]Sfame of Yonge" and "Reydon
and Southwold/*'
In his boyhood the Reformation swept over England, and Rogers,
Latimer and Cranmer were burned at the stake.
He married late in life (Elizabeth did not favor the marriage of priests)
and came to Southwold in the vear in which the translation of the Bible into
the King James version was completed. Shakespeare died in 1616, and
Bacon in 1626. the same vear as Yicar Yonges.
No higher tribute can be paid to one of his calling than is contained in
his epitaph, and we can believe that he was like a "father in Israel," leading
his people into ways of righteousness."
