YOUNG, John, governor of Hawaii, born in Massachusetts about 1755; died in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1835. He shipped about 1789 as boatswain of the "Eleanor," which called at Hawaii a year later. In revenge for the murder of a sailor, the captain killed about 100 natives with grapeshot, and sailed away, accidentally leaving Young on shore. The latter was doomed to death, but was saved through the intercession of the king's niece, Kaoanaeha, who had fallen in love with him. They were soon afterward married, and King Kamehameha made him his chief counsellor, benefited by his instructions in establishing his empire over all the islandS, and appointed him governor of the island of Ha-wail. Young was the grandfather of Queen Emma Kaleleonalani. (See KALAKAUA.)
