The Young Family in the Caribbean

The mutiny on the Bounty story never ceases to fascinate. An excellent recent article by Rick Kleiner of Norfolk Island summarises the background story for crew member Ned Young, who ended up on Pitcairn Island with Fletcher Christian.
Ned had received an education but little is known about his family of origin, except that he was born in the mid 1760s, possibly on the Caribbean island of St Kitts. His family was said to follow the tradition of naming the firstborn son ‘George', so it intrigues me that my forebear Dr George Young, the first curator of the new Botanic Garden at Kingstown on the Caribbean island of St Vincent in 1765, also gave his firstborn son the name 'George'.

Kingstown, St Vincent, c 1830

As in Ned's case, the good doctor's family of origin is unclear, but he was definitely born around 1726 and my research strongly links him to the colonial official Sir William Young, who was born at Antigua in the Caribbean in 1725 and died on St Vincent in 1788. Young Island near Kingstown was named after Sir William Young's family.
The genealogy of the Youngs residing in the Caribbean in the 17th and 18th centuries is very patchy. Oh, how I long for it to be sorted out by the incremental contributions of family history researchers such as Rick Kleiner and myself! It is a tantalising thought that Ned Young and Dr George Young might have shared some common forebears.
