John Young (c.1742–1835) was a British Royal Advisor to Kamehameha I in the Kingdom of Hawaii. He was accidentally left behind by a British ship and became a friend and advisor to Kamehameha. He brought western military knowledge to Hawaii and played a big role during Hawaii's first contacts with the Europeans powers. He spent the rest of his life in Hawai`i. Between 1802-1812, John Young ruled as Governor of the Island of Hawaii while King Kamehameha was away on other islands. According to his tombstone at Mauna `Ala, (the Hawaiian Royal Masoleum) he was born in Lancashire, England, and died in Honolulu on December 17, 1835, at the age of 93 after living in Hawai`i for 46 years.
