I am sending you a PM to discuss in detail, but the short answer I have found is that Young or OG is an adopted name. Before surnames became prevalent.
example John McNeil has a son name John also. Original John become John the senior and son become called John the younger. which got shorten to John Young.
I run a Young DNA study which this is becoming evident from the results
