James YOUNG was born around 1822 in England.
I don't know when James arrived in Canada, but around 1848, probably somewhere in the Mapleton - Lockport area (St Andrews), he was united with Isabella STEVENS b-1826, daughter of Mary O'CONNOR (a Cree woman) and Richard STEVENS (1796-1872) from England. ** MORE ABOUT RICHARD STEVENS
