Does anyone recognize this Eli YOUNG:

Eli YOUNG had a farm in Trumbull Co., OH circa 1840's. According to DAR
application papers, Eli was married to Catherine BELLESFELT, b. 1793.
Per the "Official Roster of the SAR in the State of Ohio", a Rev War veteran
named Peter BELLESFELT, who died in 1844, was buried on the Eli YOUNG Farm,
located in the northeast corner of Farmington Twp., Trumbull Co OH.
Presumably, Peter was Catherine's father.

Peter claimed the following in his 29 Aug 1832 Rev War Pension application:

b. Feb 10, 1756, Flemington NJ
Lived in:
- Hamilton Twp., Northampton Co PA at outbreak of Rev War. Soon after war
commenced, moved to:
- Newton (?), Berks Co PA; claims to have fought as a Frontier Ranger; also
says he enlisted in 1780 in Philadelphia and fought under Gen. Mad Anthony
Wayne (Colonel Butler's Regiment?); served in Bergen. Went back to
Northampton after the war until circa 1788 when he moved to:
- Washington Co. PA where he lived until about 1827. (Note: Fallowfield
Twp., south of Pittsburgh, west of the Monongahela River). He then moved
to:
- Parkman, Geauga Co OH, circa 1827, and then to:
- Farmington, Trumbull Co OH, summer of 1832.

Would like to find out Eli YOUNG's pedigree. I see listed in the 1790
Census of Fallowfield TWP a Jacob YOUNG -- could this be Eli's father?
Thanks!
