MAP of YOUNG TRACT in SENECA TOWNSHIP HALDIMAND COUNTY - c.1840
	This map shows the owners of the different parcels of land in the Young Tract circa 1840.  The Tract ran one mile along the Grand River and three miles back.  John Young Jr. owned the section of the Tract furthest downstream.  Then there was his brother Joseph who held the part assigned to his sister Elizabeth (Young) Nelles, as well as the home farm portion belonging to his father Lt. John Young, and a portion of the acerage bequeathed to his brother Abraham by their father.  Some of Abraham's children sold their shares in their father's property to their Uncle Joseph, and others sold to Andrew Alexander Van Every.  Then there is the said Andrew Alexander Van Every who occupied the home farm of Abraham Young.  Further up River were William Weir and Richard Martin, who then owned the portion of the Tract once occupied by Adam Young and later by Adam's son Henry Young.  There were two very "messy" land disputes over the lands of Abraham Young, and those of Henry Young - which involved considerable litigation and therefore a great deal of paperwork which is extremely helpful in sorting out the Young genealogy.
