Born c.1598, first pastor Rev. John Youngs/Yongs founded the Puritan settlement of Southold, Long Island, in 1640. A native of Reydon, in Suffolk, England, he was the son of the Rev. Christopher Youngs/Yonges and the former Margaret Ellwyn. He had come to the New World in 1637, arriving in Salem, Massachusetts, and was 74 at the time of his death in Southold some 35 years later.
Rev. Youngs' grave is one of nine originally marked by slate ledgerstones which were probably carved in England. His stone and that of William Wells are the earliest with legible dates in the burial ground. However, Rev. Youngs' original ledgerstine is now covered by a replacement. Made in 1935, it bears the original epitaph (see "Inscription" section of this page). In addition, it is also inscribed with the history of his descendants' efforts to preserve it:
"Under this tablet is the original brownstone slab, with the following inscription...The original inscription on this stone was recut in 1857 by one of the third and one of the fourth generation of Rev. Young's grandchildren, Dea. Stephen Youngs, Morristown, N.J. and Capt. Selah Younge, Mattituck, L.I. Recut 2nd time in 1900 by Edward F.C. Young of Jersey City, N.J....This ledger was executed in 1935 by Col. Edward L. Young, Jersey City, N.J."

"Christopher Yonges, clerk, minister of Southwold 21 November—proved July
5, 1626. To wife Margaret all lands, etc., for life, Then to my six children John,
Joseph, Christopher, Mary, Margaret and Martha. To eldest son all my books
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,
to each a silver spoon. Wife Margaret and John Smith and Thomas Elliot of
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."
