Hello Wayne,
For the parent of John Young married to Catherine Bouthillier, if you check the Census of Little Bras d'Or, in 1818, we have a nice idea of who are his parent !
John said that his parent country are Newfoundland (this is for Miquelon island). The only one Lejeune / Young who are born in Newfoundland (said for Miquelon island) are Joseph, born in 1763 !
So here come your ancester ! I pretty sure :
Item no.: 650 Mfm no.: 15790

Petition to Nepean: Petitioner was born on the Island of Michlone, has resided in Cape Breton the past 24 years. He asks lot 10 at the French Village, which lot he has possessed the past eighteen years. Petitioner is married and has eight children.

Petition to Kempt: Petitioner, a native of Scotland, age 31, is married and has one child. He asks a lot on the south-east side of George's River, a mile and three-quarters from the Entrance, where a brook opens into a small lake. He wishes to build a grist-mill on this brook. Note: "Joseph LeJeune had a Ticket of Location for this lot but he made no settlement and has lately ben obliged to abscond to avoid the stroke of justice". Approved for 200 acres.
Item no.: 2841 Mfm no.: 15798
Grantee: LeJeune, JosephYear: 1822
Petitioner, a native of Newfoundland, age 54, is married and has twelve children. He has lived for thirty years on a lot on the south side of Little Bras d'Or, surveyed for him. He asks a grant. Note: Petitioner has lately been intruded upon by one, Burchal, who claims the only good part of this lot. Note: "This only land to which petitioner, a Calker by profession and a boat builder, can have any claim is lot 10, south side of the Gut of Canso near French Village 100 acres, on which he resided.....One son lately sold his share to George Burchal, who immediately petitioned and received a Warrant of Survey.
So this Joseph Lejeune / Young are born in 1763. Son of Joseph Lejeune and Martine LeRoy
married 5 November 1754, Louisbourg, Royal Island (Cape Breton)
