John C. Young was born in Greencastle, Pennsylvania on August 12, 1803 to John and Mary Clarke Young.  His father and his uncle were Presbyterian ministers, and he quickly determined to follow that course.  To that end, he was educated at home and then at a classical school in New York City, before entering Columbia College there.  After three years at Columbia, he withdrew and entered Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, where he graduated with the class of 1823.
