Sometime before 1778, Thomas and his wife Naomi Hyatt Young moved to Burke County, NC. Documents show that during the Revolutionary War, Thomas Young was a Tory (Loyalist) and remained loyal to the British. In March 1782, a court-martial heard charges that Col. Charles McDowell, the commander of Burke County troops fighting for American independence, had abused his authority. Among the examples cited was McDowell's lenient treatment of "the known Tories" Shadrach Inman, Seth Hyatt, and Thomas Young. (Seth Hyatt was possibly Thomas Young's father-in-law.) In October 1782 Thomas Young was included on a list of 131 Loyalists in Burke County who were indicted by the State of North Carolina. However, in 1781, 1783, and 1786 the state reimbursed Thomas Young for quantities of pork and corn that had been requisitioned and used to feed American troops.
In 1778 Thomas Young began acquiring land in Burke County. By the early 1800's he owned a few thousand acres. The property was on Shadrach's Creek, Muddy Creek, Paddy's Creek, Honeycutt's Branch, and North Cove. This land is located in present-day McDowell County. Sometime after 1787 he began acquiring slaves.
