I know of a John Coon who is said to be the son of the John Coons/Koontz/etc. who I
suspect is the father of George Washington Coon (my GGGGrandfather).
Nothing is known about the younger John except that he might have been from Pennsylvania.
Besides the location, what caught my eye was the mention of Samuel as the son of the
younger John. The elder John also had a son named Samuel (George W.'s brother). As
you undoubted know, the Germans have a tradition of naming children after grandparents and
uncles and aunts.
Can you tell me more about your younger John Coon?
The message posted before this one in the thread mentions a marriage to a Newhouse. There
are definite connections between Coons/Newhouses/Dil(l)savers/Moores in
Ross/Pickaway/Fairfield County, Ohio. Searching for more.
