Sir William Young was a Nova Scotia businessman, lawyer, and politician. He was born in 1799 in Falkirk, Scotland to John Young and Agnes Renny and moved with his family to Nova Scotia in 1814. In 1814 and 1815 Young helped establish John Young and Company, his father's wholesale dry goods business, by acting as his father's agent first in Halifax and then New York. In 1815 he formed a brief partnership with James Cogswell to operate an auction and commission business which lasted until 1820.
