DEED from ADAM AND CATHARINE YOUNG of their LAND in
BLEECKER'S
PATENT on the MOHAWK RIVER to their son JOHN YOUNG - 1771
On 25 April 1771, Adam and Catharine Elizabeth Young deeded their homestead in
Bleecker's (Otsquago) Patent to John Young.  Some years before, Adam and his family
had moved to Young's Patent (partitioned in 1767) at Young's Lake (now Warren),
Herkimer county, New York.  It was here at what was known as the Geissenburg
Settlement that John was living at the time the Revolution broke out, and it was this
property that was burned by the Rebels in 1777.  It is this 105 acre parcel of land that
John noted in his claim for compensation before the Loyalist Commissioners in 1787.
