In recent discussions on the Yount Family group of My Family.com, there has been discussion of the desirablity of holdoing one or several "national" Yount reunions. Sites mentioned include Catawba County and Missouri. Would anyone in the Catawba County area be willing to head up such a reunion. Bruce Yount, Jean Jondreau, and others who do not live in the Catawba area have offered to help, but feel someone in the area in which it is to be held should do the planning. Any takers? Ray A.

Jean. You may get some information on Sidney Yount if you check his Estate Papers at the Archives in Raleigh. I was able to get information on Jesse Gant, Sr, Jesse Gant, Jr and Jonas Cline the last time that I went to Raleigh. Also Bruce Yount may be able to help you. He is descended from Deborah Gant and Franklin W. Yount. Deborah was Jesse Gant SR's daughter. If you have any information on Cannda Yount who married Logan G. Whitener 1850 and Cora Yount who married Thomas J. Thomasson 1874, I would appreciate the information. Thank you. Dan Miller

I am trying to untangle the Harbison family, I know Iseral Harbison father was Tisdel Harbison of Catawba Co. N.C. . I think that Tisdel may have been the brother to Marcus Harbinson but not sure. Does anyone know who Tisdel's father was. William Harbison of Lincoln, Co had 16 children, I think the Burke Co., Lincoln Co. and Catawba Co. Harbison's were all related but haven't a clue who they all are at this point. If you can kindley help me I would certainly appreciate it. I also have a Nancy Harbison along with William ran a tavern in Lincolnton, just behind the old jail, Nancy also recieved 2 land grants which was almost unheard of in those days for a woman, 3 of Williams daughters also won the lottery for lots around the court house in Linc, also. This is the family I am trying to figure out. Thanks.

Does anyone know of a Liza Gant born about 1870, She Married Jim Engle and they lived somewhere near North Brook? I have her descendants but have nothing on Liza Gnat or Jim Engle. Sally

Jean, I have a little information about the Gant/ Yount question. I am descended from both lines. Laura Gant is found on the 1860 census of Catawba County, three year old daughter of Francis Marion Gant (son of Jesse Gant). Francis Marion Gant is married to Jane Conner, daughter of Cornelius A. Conner, always shown as C. A. Conner, thus the bondman on the bastardy bond - he would be the grandfather of Laura Gant. Jonas Cline was the respected son-in-law of Jesse Gant. He was also sheriff for many years and contemporary of Sidney Yount who was sheriff for a short time. When Jesse Gant wrote his will in 1873, his son-in-law Jonas Cline was named as trustee in the administration of his will and had control of the inheritance of Francis Marion Gant, father of Laura. So you can see how the lives of all these people were intertwined. We have no information about Laura after the birth of her illegitimate child, although a thorough census check might shed some light on that question. I just checked the 1880 Catawba County Census and found that Laura is 19 years old, still in the household of her father, Marion Gant. A three year old granddaughter, Betty Ida, is also in the household, right age to be the child mentioned in bastardy bond and child of Sidney Yount. Good hunting!

James Townsend does have some really wonderful items, however, they are for the Revolutionary War time period. I wasn't sure if you were looking for ladies' clothing or men's but it is really hard to find anywhere that really makes authentic women's clothing for reeacting and most of us sew our own. A lot of places will have a few things that are good and some that are really not so good, and you just have to know what to look for and how to figure out if it's right or not. But If you are just wanting something to wear to memorial services or something like that and aren't really worried about them being totally authentic, here are some ladies' sites for civil war: http://www.gburglady.com/ http://www.blockaderunner.com/index.html http://www.sutlery.com/ http://www.servantandco.com/home.html http://fcsutler.com/ http://grand-illusion.com/ If you really want to do it more in depth, e-mail me personally and I will be glad to help further. Susan Carpenter

There are quite a few, but here is one that is one of the top ones. I've personally bought items from them and they are dependable, accurate, reliable. The name of the company is James Townsend & Son. Their web site address is www.jastown.com Barney >Anyone on the list know of a store where War Between the States reenactment clothing can be bought?

Jean. Saw some of your questions about Sidney Yount. I don't know how long he was Sheriff, but Jonas Cline was Sheriff for quite a few years. Jonas was Sheriff, 1848 - 1860 Coroner Apr 1862, resigned, appt Sheriff Sheriff, Jan 1866 - Dec 1878 This was printed in "A History of Catawba County." C. F. Conner's name is on a lot of transactions in Catawba CO. I believe he owned a General Store in the Claremont vicinity. He, Evan Gant, and Larkin Miller were School Committeemen of School District #29. They purchased one(1) acre of land from Jones Hefner and wife to build a school house. They paid $80.00 for the land. Hope this helps some. Dan Miller

Hi Ray & List, Is there a chance that Sidney Yount did marry this Laura Gant you wrote of that charged him as the father of her baby. That baby would have been 1 to 2 years old by 1880. Who were Sarra Gant and Lousa Gant? Do you know who their parents were? If Sidney Yount did marry a Laura Gant in 1880, could she of been Vance and Lockie Yount's mother? Thanks, Jean And you wrote>> In 1878, Sidney Yount is charged with bastardy at the complaint of Laura Gant. In 1879, Sid Yount is charged by Laura Gant for non-support of child.<< Dan Miller wrote >>> 3/1878 Sarra Gant - bondsmen, Sidney Yount, C. F. Connor 3/1879 Lousa Gant - bondsman, Sid Yount, Franklin Campbell<<<

Dear Jean, Something bothers me about the records for this Sidney Yount. Catawba County Marriages say he married Laura Bolch 15 Jan 1888. He was age 40, the son of John and Anna Yount. Then in the 1900 Catawba County Census in Catawba Precinct, Sidney and Laura Yount are listed as having been married 20 years rather than 12 years. His age is given as 63, not consistent with that stated in the 1888 marriage record. If he was 40 then, he should have been 52 or 53 in 1900. Were there two Sidney and Laura Younts? The oldest children of the Sidney in the 1900 census were born well before 1888. Thus, was this really a different Sidney that was married about 1880? If so, was he the one charged with bastardy? Did he later marry Laura Gant about 1880? She would have been only about 14 years old. But could have been a "shotgun wedding." I just noticed this discrepancy after sending my earlier response to Dan.

Thanks for replying. I have seen Sheriff Sidney Yount on some Catawba County records. I am familiar with some of the Younts and some I am not. 1. Cora Yount, Burke CO, NC married Thomas J. Thomasson abt 1874. Thomas was from McDowell CO. Don't have any information on Cora Yount. Marriage record or who her parents were. 2. Cannda Yount married Logan G. Whitener, 1850 Catawba CO. Logan's parents were Johannes Wilfong Whitener and Polly Miller. Who was Polly Miller? Which Gant family did Laura Gant belong to? Thanks. Dan Miller --part1_e.1c29630.26e06438_boundary--

Dear Dan, These appear to be the same case. In the "Catawba Cousins", Vol 4, No. 4, there is a listing of Bastardy Bonds and Records, 1868-1911. In 1878, Sidney Yount is charged with bastardy at the complaint of Laura Gant. In 1879, Sid Yount is charged by Laura Gant for non-support of child. I know of only two Sidney Younts in this time frame. One was Sidney L. Yount, who married Isabella Fox 26 Oct 1871. He was born Oct 18, 1815. He was a Civil War veteran and lost a leg in the war. He was sheriff of Catawba County. This Sidney was the son of Franklin A. Yount, son of Joseph Yount, son of Abraham Yount, son of Jacob Yount who stayed in PA. (Information from Mary Frances Smith) but I doubt this was the one. The other was the son of John Yount and Anna Pope, son of the above Abraham Yount. This Sidney was born about 1847 according to the 1860 census. He is probably the Sidney A. Yount, age 40, who married Laura Bolch 15 Jan 1888. His parents were listed as John and Anna Yount, and her parents as Joseph and Mahala Bolch. This Sidney appears to be the one buried at Bethlehem Methodist Church in Claremont. He died Sept 14, 1909, age 60. His wife is apparently buried elsewhere. Best Regards, Ray ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
