    Enlisted for six months service, 5 Jun 1780, Major Joseph Hosmer Brig. Gen. John Glover at Springfield. Age 17 years, Stature 5 ft. 3 in. Complexion light. From town of Hopkinton, under command of Capt. Dix. Again passed muster Oct. 25th, 1780, under Brig. Gen. Paterson, for six months service (travel 200 miles). Again enlisted in Capt. John Hayward's Co. Col. Webb's regiment. Time August 23, 1781 to Dec. 1st 1781 (200 miles travel) home in the Hopkinton town records are the following entries:

    'This may certify that JOHN YOUNG, the bearer hereof, late a soldier for six months in the 2nd. Mass. Regiment has not drawn any article of clothing out of the public store house during his service. Robert Muzzy, Lt. West Point 15 Dec 1780'

    It is the family tradition that John's father Joseph was a physician and surgeon in the French and Indian Wars. Joseph's father William was a worshipper in the Old South Church. Boston, where his children were christened by Rev. Peter Thacher, he was one of the founders of Barrington and Nottingham N.H, but sold all his holding there in 1724-5.
