YOUNG/YONGES

Mary Young's Gravestone, She's in the Old Burial Ground in Southold, N.Y. Her beautiful stone is the oldest winged skull engraved on slate on Long Island. I'm guessing this Mary is Rev. John's oldest son's first wife, Mary Gardiner, who died in 1689.

Reverend John Young (Martha Youngs' brother) was one of the founders and the spiritual leader of Southold, Long Island. Southold, named after the town in England they emigrated from, was one of the first English settlements on Long Island.

ARTHURIAN MYTHS

"Chapter IV Caradoc Briefbas; or Caradoc with the Shrunken Arm" from "The Age of Chivalry or Legends of King Arthur" in Bulfinch's Mythology by Thomas Bulfinch,

Ceredig Vreichvras and the Welsh Genealogies: From an essay titled "Arthur, Cerdic, And The Formation Of Wessex" on Celtic Twilight - Legends of Camelot, a site which tries to reveal the real and the fictional, and, in their words, to "invoke Arthur to rise from his bed where he sleeps with his knights awaiting our greatest need."

Notes to "The Dream of Rhonabwy" from "The Mabinogion" online at the Internet Sacred Text Archive. Scroll down to "305a CARADAWC VREICHVRAS.--Page 305." The Mabinogion is a collection of ancient Welsh tales. Though there is no mention of Arthur, these stories are considered by some to be the predecessors of and foundation for the Arthurian myths.

"The Misfortunes of Elphin" by Thomas Love Peacock

"The Boy and the Mantle" by Bishop Thomas Murphy from The Camelot Project, an online database of Arthurian texts, images, bibliographies, and basic information. You'll see that it is still in the old English here, whereas the snippet I posted has been modernized.

Caradog Freichfras, King of Gwent & the Vannetais from Brittania, the Internet's most comprehensive treatment of the Times, Places, Events and People of British History.

Ceredig Ceredigion, King of Ceredigion from the genealogy site for the Culver Family. Very interesting site in that it has the lineage of Tegau and Arthur, and more. Is it accurate? I don't know yet. But it's a place to start.
