Biography: Thomas R. Young was born in Hampton, Windham Co., CT on 26 Sep 1815. The family moved to New York when he was 19. Ten years later the family moved to Lapeer Co., MI. Upon leaving home at age 18, Thomas R. Young found ready employment in New York State, a portion of the time being engaged on the Erie Canal. When 20 he was influenced by the charms of a seafaring life to become a sailor, and joined the crew of the ship "Rambler," which sailed from Nantucket on a three years' cruise. His share of the proceeds of the return cargo was $300, with which he made a pleasure trip, and then repaired to his father's home in Michigan. In the spring of 1839 he entered the farm upon which he at present resides [1880], together with other land embracing 280 acres. Thomas R. Young was a Democrat and assisted with the erection of the first school building in Caledonia Township.
