Indian

Despite fighting in the American Revolution, John Young owned (at least one) slave.  However, his sons, John Jr. and David, became fierce Abolitionists.  John Jr. owned a farm somewhere on Indian Run while his brother David owned a farm nearby. John Jr.’s farm on Indian Run was a stop on the Underground Railroad.I found this anecdote about the two brothers in the book A History of Neshannock Presbyterian Church, New Wilmington, Pennsylvania by Rev. Rex Johnson.
