    Notes:

    I have written about Col. William Ledyard in the newsletter[by editor of the Yonges Family Newsletter] - devoted a whole newsletter to the Battle of Groton Heights several years ago, in fact. Col. William was one of Deborah's sons - so that would have made him an uncle to John Ledyard III. William was run through with his own sword by the British commander who captured Fort Griswold on Groton Heights (Connecticut) in this battle in 1781. The Brits were on their way to Yorktown, so their victory didn't last very long in this case.

    Notes:

    ...there is a book review in the Sunday February 18th issue of the Book Review section of the New York Times of a new (2007) biography Ledyard: The Search For The First American Explorer about the life of John Ledyard III. His grandmother was Deborah Youngs of Southold, daughter of Judge Benjamin Youngs, who was a grandson of the immigrant and ancestor to many of your readers, Rev. John Youngs. Some history of this family is on pages 67-68 of Selah Youngs book.

    I have only read a little of the book so far, but it is fascinating history. It recites some of the life of the first John Ledyard who married Deborah Youngs and who was a compatriot of Eleazar Wheelock, the founder of Dartmouth College, and also of several well known ‘Great Awakening' ministers, i.e. Rev George Whitfield, Rev. James Davenport, and Rev. Jonathan Edwards. The book then goes on to the life of the main subject, the grandson, and his adventures and endeavors around the world, including Europe, Russia, Siberia, western North America, and Africa, as well as his interaction with Thomas Jefferson. and with Capt. James Cook.

    The author's name is Bill Gifford. Published by Harcourt.
