Caroline Fletcher Yonts (Younts) had two children prior to her marriage to Milton Yonts;
i.e., Martha Melissa Fletcher born in 1847 and my greatgrandfather Fountain Fletcher born
in 1849. Her marriage to Milton on October 27, 1858, produced two children; i.e., Francis
Marion Yonts who had a daughter Iva by his first wife, and the following five by his
second: Dulcie, Martha Carrie, Aaron W., Peachie, and Hubbard. The second child by Milton
was her daughter Mary who died unmarried at age 17. In answer to your question about
Martha Melissa's husband, she married Thomas A. Conley on Jan. 3, 1867 and they had
two children; Thomas Vernon Conley and Flora Elizabeth Conley. Martha died in 1894 at the
age of 48, but Uncle Tom Conley (as the family called him) lived to the ripe old age of 83
and died in a home for war veterans. Francis's family must have known him by
"Frank" since his formal name was Francis. Incidentally, the name is spelled
"Yonts" on the application for marria!
ge register. Hope this helps.
