Coon (1794-1871) and wife Catherine Hood (1798-1874) married a John Weatherwax(Witherwax) sometime before 24 Aug 1850. In USC 1850 for Guilderland,Albany co NY. John M. Coon wife Catherine and children are living in fam #326, next family #327 same page is John Witherwax and wife Mary Coon. From this point on John and wife Mary consistently appear in Guilderland in USC 1850-1880. Then they disappear. Various online sources at Worldconnect indicate the marriage of this Mary Coon to John Witherwax (sp). Another source seems to have confused Mary Elizabeth Coon, daughter of Alexander Coon and Betsey Weatherwax for this couple. This family which moved to Orleans county NY and remained there is found in USC entries for the same USC entries for John Witherwax and Mary Coon of guilderland, thus proving they are not the same couple. In addition there are identifiable age differences. John Witherwax and Mary Coon had 3 known children 1. Anna Weatherwax (1856-1862) 2. John Henry Weatherwax (1862- ) marr: Eva Crouse 3. Charles J. Weatherwax (1864- ) marr: Sarah Livingston I have tracked these children and their marriages and offspring, however I cant seem to identify the parents of John H. Weatherwax b:c1831 in NY. I feel kind of silly not being able to identify the parents of John Weatherwax since I research all Weatherwax's, but the lack of vital records and inconsistent church records for the Weatherwax family along with the given name john preclude easy identification. Additionally like many Wetherwax family members John did use his middle name "H" Henry from time to time as a given name. I litterly have several hundred John Weatherwax's in my records. It would appear that he was born either in Albany or Rensselaer counties in NY, but possible in Schoharie,Schenectady of Saratoga as well. If anyone has any clues it would be appreciated. sincerely Wayne E. Weatherwax following david b:1747 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
