General Notes: Husband - Samuel C. Young


He was the grandson of Samuel C. and Dorcas Clarke, of Clarkesville, Greene County, Pennsylvania.

He came to Shousetown, Pennsylvania, when a lad, and was apprenticed to old Peter Shouse to learn the boat-builder's trade, soon earning a wide reputation as an excellent mechanic. He built the following boats: Clipper No. 2, Rescue, Advance, Reliance, Sam Young, Challenge, Denmark, Hawkeye State, Kenton, etc. He built many light boats for the southern trade. Later in life he went to West Virginia and drilled for oil. He died aged forty-six years. He took an active interest in church work, and helped to build the Union church at Shousetown.
