Daniel Youngs' Homestead

USA / New York / Oyster Bay Cove /
 residence, farmhouse
For over 250 years many generations of the Youngs Family lived at Oyster Bay Cove. The first to come was Thomas Youngs, who arrived in the mid-1600s. The actual date is not certain, but some say it was 1654. His original dwelling is part of the house at the head of the Cove. Capt. Daniel Youngs, a descendant of early settler Thomas Youngs, spent the war harassing Hessian soldiers who tried to steal from his cider press. After the war he hosted Washington in his 1651 house. A marker notes that "George Washington rested here on April 23/24, 1790."

The house was sold in 1954 to P. James Roosevelt, a cousin of President Theodore Roosevelt.
