Sam, I have an interesting tidbit on Elias Young. In the NEHGS database, Vital Records of Rhode Island, 1636-1850, by James N. Arnold, I found the following entry from the Rhode Island pensioners census of 1840: "Elias Young, 77, Coventry resides with Hazard Champlain." I checked the 1840 census, and sure enough there he was listed as a pensioner, age 77, in the household of Hazard Champlain. 1840 U.S. Census, Coventry, Kent Co., RI, p. 67, line 19. Perhaps this is the origin of the name Hazzard Young who married Samantha Gee.
