Misc. - Prodigy - 07 Apr 1993 to Martha KOUNSE from Laura Kough re: KUNTZ/PA - Hi all, I was just looking through my new book, History of Carbon County (is this PA?) that is just now released and I found some KUNTZ in the index and other places.  I found a George and Elizabeth (nee Newhard) KUNTZ.  It listed their daughter, Fianna who m. Paul Buck in 1856.  There were 11 children; Catherine, Allen, Samuel, Elvin, Martha, Etna (n.m)? Johanna (Dreisbach), William, Laura (Markley), Quinton, and Mary (Solt).  If you give me first names then I can check the index for you.  Hope this helps with something.  Laura.

 

Prodigy: to Martha KOUNSE from Laura Kough dated 04/07/93 - Hi it's Laura again, I thought that this would help being it is around the time period that you are looking at.  Mary KUNTZ d/o Jacob Snyder married John KUNTZ who operated a large gristmill near the mouth of Mahoning Creek at Lehighton.  Thier children included Jacob, Thomas, Henry, Lewis, John, Benjamin, Simon, Stephen, Elizabeth, Catherine, Mary and Juliana.  Further it states, the majority of the members of this family changed the spelling of their name to "KOONS".  Thomas KOONS was the sheriff of Carbon County from 1879-1882.  He was married to Mary Ann Hoffman and was the father of 10 children.  The preceeding segment was on page 191.  On pg. 210: Jonas Bowman married Catherine "Kitty" KUNTZ . . .  Their are many KOONS and KUNTZ listed and if you will send me a SASE (2 stamps and about $1 to cover all the copies I will gladly send what I have to you).  Laura Kough, 3128 Nicholson Dr., Winter Park, Florida  32792.  This book also has an index of War Veterans and saw some KUNTZ in there.  Will wait to hear from you.  Laura.

Prodigy - to Martha KOUNSE from Helene Hawkins in CA (WBKK62A)  Martha, I wish that I could help you some on the COONS line, but I have next to nothing.  All I know is that my Elizabeth COONS m. George Mock in PA, and that they have a daughter Eliza Ann Mock and sons, Robert, David and Daniel Mock.  At this time I have no definite connection to the Shenandoah Valley on these lines.  I so believe in time that there will be a common thread.  I will keep your info and let you know if I find something.  Helene in CA.

(Martha can you get her address? - smk)

 

Prodigy - To John Maddy (SFHM17A) from Christopher Kelly (BNDF71A) Subject: KUTZ dated 4/25/93

I have many KUNTZ in Berks Co. PA.  Other surnames that I'm doing are: Miller, Butz, Garis, Walter, Afflerbach, Mosser, Romig, etc.  I could go on and on.  Where are your KUTZ from?  Most of mine were in Longswamp, Oley, Lehigh, Easton, Whitehall, Twp's.  signed Wendy Kelly

PS. My KUNTZ also spelled their name KUTZ, KOONTZ, and KOONS

(Martha - can you get both of their addresses? thanks, smk)

 

Prodigy- To all: from Frank Gill 3/28/93 - My ancestor, Daniel KOONS/KUNTZ was b. in PA about 1826.  He and his brother were tailors in Ohio.  Daniel m. Sophina Mowen and they had several children.  A son, Charles became a tailor.  A dau., Clara C. was b. at Marlboro, OH, Stark County on 27 May 1855.  She was my g-grandmother.  This family goes back to Alsace, tho I have not established when they came over to this country.  Daniel's parents were b. PA and he was also.  I don't know where in PA.

 

Daniel d. in Cleveland, OH on July 27, 1904.  I assume that Daniel's father was probably a tailor also, and that this trade may have originated in the family at Alsace.  Thanks for any clues.  Frank.

 

Prodigy: to Jan Dawson from Frank Gill 3/28/93 - Jan, Thanks for the note on my Daniel KOONS/KUNTZ.  Although his daughter, Clara was b. in Stark County, Daniel and his wife Sophina lived in Trumbull and Mahoning counties which are very close to Stark county.  Sophina is said to be of German ancestry, Rudicil is an ancestrial surname for her.  Her maiden name was Mowen.

 

Daniel and Sophina KOONS are buried at Newton Falls, OH cemetery.  That's in Trumbull county, just west of Lordstown, OH.

 

Thanks for your interest in the KOONS/KUNTZ line.  I have only seen the KUNTZ spelling once pertaining to Daniel, in a Trumbull county history book.  All the Ohio census listings show it spelled KOONS.  I don't know when the family changed the spelling.  Maybe the tailor occupation will some day help pin down Daniels ancestors.  Frank.

Ohio Quaker records: 1809 KOUNS family - West Branch Monthly Meeting in Miami County (OH).  There was a Jasper and sons, John, Jasper, Jeremian, William, Nathan, Henry and Samuel.  (from letter from Timothy R. Coughlin, 436 Brooktree Dr., Baldwin, MO  63011 dtd. 17 Sep 1989 (non related to KOUNS family - smk)

 

Letter to Jan Dawson from Mary Lou Weinland, 5159 East Blvd., NW, Canton, Ohio  44718 dated 19 May 1986:

Dear Jan:

Thank you for writing.  The KOONS in the family is my husband's - Mother's maternal side.  We have very little information.  I am enclosing an ancestor chart.  We do not know Monroe's (KOUNS) parents.  Aunt Marian's effort to get her DAR, turned up two brothers of Monroe, Nathen and Daniel, but 30 years later she does not remember the source.

I have found the cemetery where Monroe is buried and the stone indicated he was 42y12ds.  His wife, Rebecca Hower is buried between Monroe and her 2nd husb.  If you are interested I have directions.  Another cemetery also east of Homerville, in Medina Co. has a number of KOONS buried.  I too, copy about everything.  Anyway, some of the given names I found at the Zion Church Cemetery were Jonathan, Micharel, Anna, and Tillman KOONS, also Clara & Romain, C.J. & Emaline, Adam & Lydia.
