Mr. MacTavish, As I said in the guestbook entry to Yontz Family Page, the Yonts family figured prominently in our Helsley family in the early 1800s in Muhlenberg County, Ky. The earliest one of reference is Eva Elizabeth Yonts born March 7, 1782 in Rowan County, N.C. to William Yonts (1752-1809) and Mary Magdalena ...(1752-1825). Eva Elizabeth Yonts married Jacob Helsley, my g-g-g-g-grandfather(too many gs maybe). They were the parents of another g-gr--father, William Helsley, who took a second wife, Catherine Yonts, Sept. 9, 1856 Muhlenberg. Jacob Helsley's brother, Michael, also married a Susannah Yonts Feb. 15, 1825. She also was a daughter of William Yonts, above. Susannah was born 1798 in N.C. Let me know if you have better ties with more details. I'm doing a book on Heltsley family history. I can be a little more specific.
