James Young & Isabella Stevens JAMES YOUNG (1822-1870) James YOUNG was born around 1822 in England. I don't know when James arrived in Canada, but around 1848, probably somewhere in the Mapleton - Lockport area (St Andrews), he was united with Isabella STEVENS b-1826, daughter of Mary O'CONNOR (a Cree woman) and Richard STEVENS. ** Would like to have more information regarding this pair. Their firstborn was Jane, born in 1849, followed by Louisa Rachel in 1851, Mary Ann in 1853, Isabel around 1859, Henry George in 1860, James Jr in 1862, John in 1863, Jemima in 1866 and Lara in 1868 James YOUNG died around 1870, before the Census was taken that year, when Widow Isabella was enumerated in St Andrews with their children. Malcolm McLEOD was born Oct 21, 1821 at Green Lake, SK, an illegitimate child of Charlotte (nee PRUDEN), halfbreed daughter of John Peter PRUDEN ( the Scottish patriarch of the PRUDEN family of Red River) & John McLEOD SR (b-1788), a Chief Trader for the HBC. Malcolm was sent to Edinburgh, Scotland, to be educated as a Lawyer. He studied Law in Montreal, was admitted to the Bar in 1845, and became a Judge there. In 1875 Isabella, living in St Andrews, applied for Scrip as the wife of Malcolm McLEOD, and the widow of James YOUNG. Isabella & Malcolm McLEOD had a son, Malcolm McLEOD JR, born 1874.
