An excerpt from "YOUNGS FAMILY", by Selah Youngs, Junior, page 241
His widow, Sybil Wiggins Terry Youngs, survived him nearly ten
years, and lacked but four months of ninety years. She joined the
Presbyterian Church of Sag Harbor, and took her letter to the church at
Mattituck. She was a woman of great purity of though and speech and a
devoted wife and mother, and unceasing in her efforts to make them
happy. She early taught her children to kneel at her knee in prayer and
impressed upon them the value of honesty, truthfulness and neatness. Her
mother was the daughter of John and Patience (Van Scoy) Payne, of North
Haven, Long Island, and her father, Joshua Terry, was the sone of Thomas
and Julia (Wiggins) Terry, and grandson of Colonel Thomas and Sybil
(King) Terry, of Orient, Long Island. Colonel Terry was a captain in the
French and Indian War of 1747 and a colonel at the outbreak of the
Revolution. He assisted in organizing the continental troops on Long
Island, and died in 1777.

An excerpt from "YOUNGS FAMILY", by Selah Youngs, Junior, page 241
For nearly forty-seven years (except for a short voyage in 1852 as
captain of the bark "Odd Fellow," at the fourteenth lay) he lived the
quiet happy life of a farmer. After 1865, under the influence of his
cousin Stephen Youngs, he often left off the final "s" in signing his
name.
In person he was of medium height and weight, quick of movement,
with dark brown eyes, and in his prime his hair was nearly balck. In
manner he was genial, but always self-possessed and, being of a cheerful
dispostion with a vei of humor, he looked on the bright side of life, and
was the friend of everyone and had no enemy. He could be firm without
anger, gentle without weakness, and was never known to use coarse or
profane language, but was always the gentleman both in speech and manner.
While a man of strong character, his most prominent traits were his
trust in God, and his love of his family. In 1889 he and his wife
celebrated their golden wedding with their children around them, and for
seven years more they traveled life's journey together.
For many years he was an elder in teh Presbyterian Chruch at
Mattituck and the leader of the adult Bible class.
He was vigorous and active until the last two years of his life, and
his mental faculties were unimpaired. But the closing days drew on, and
after weeks of pain, he turned to his loved ones a face radiant with love
and faith, and in that moment that which was mortal put on immortality.
His widow, Sybil Wiggins Terry Youngs, survived him nearly ten
years, and lacked but four months of ninety years. She joined the
Presbyterian Church of Sag Harbor, and took her letter to the church at
Mattituck. She was a woman of great purity of though and speech and a
devoted wife and mother, and unceasing in her efforts to make them
happy. She early taught her children to kneel at her knee in prayer and
impressed upon them the value of honesty, truthfulness and neatness.
YOUNGS.
