Hi, Need help in sorting out Miles Alfred Yount, two Eliza Younts and John W. Propst. Any additions/corrections will be appreciated. I have 1st Lt. Miles Alfred Yount (1833-1866 Catawba Co., NC & buried in St. John's Lutheran Church Cemetery). This John had a wife Eliza unknown and a daughter, Cora B. Yount b. 1865 who m. Lewis Jerome Hewitt in 1884 in Catawba Co., NC. I am assuming that Miles died intestate as there is not a Miles Yount listed in "NC Wills: A Testator Index, 1665-1900" by Thornton W. Mitchell. Then I have Eliza Yount (Jul 1846-aft 1900) who m. on 21 Sep 1887 in Catawba Co., NC John W. Propst (May 1830-after 1900). So far I don't know the parents of this John W. Propst or this Eliza Yount. My question is it possible that Eliza unknown, the widow of Miles Alfred Yount and the Eliza Yount, wife of John W. Propst are one and same person? I have a Will Propst and wife, Susan Detter with a son, Sidney G. Propst b. 1881 who m. Ellen Shook in 1900 in Catawba Co., NC. Is this John W.? Also, William Propst (parents unknown) who m. Susan C. Propst, (d/o Jacob Propst and Sarah "Sallie" Dietz Propst), who died 21 Jun 1887 Lincoln Co., NC Ann Propst, Brevard, NC
