YOUNG, JOHN [SSNE 5149]
Text source
John Jung, merchant, paid a musket and a loading piece, and was admitted a citizen of Cracow at some point during the 17th century. In 1637 a John Junge was elected elder of the Lublin Assembly, and in January 1652 probably the same John Junje was listed amongst the Scottish congregation of Lublin. He is probably the same as John Young, or Jung, of Lublin who in 1651 paid 301 florins toward the subsidy for King Charles II. In 1654 John Jung gave 4 florins to the congregational collection, and the following two years he gave 10 florins.
