What do the numbers behind the names represent? Are there any dates associated with these names? I'm looking for any transactions before George and Samuel Coon bought land in 1813. I am trying to find out where the family (three adult brothers Jacob, Samuel, and George plus a woman I believe to be their mother - Hannah/Hanna/Johanna, plus whoever the father was) lived prior to 1813. Wherever it was, it was more likely owned by the boys' father. That's who I'm trying to find. Two clues suggest that they lived in Clearcreek Twp somewhere. Trouble is, I think the area they lived in may have been in Pickaway County at that time or maybe Ross. Further complicating things, they may have been squatters, and there may be no record at all. The first official record I have of the family being in Fairfield is the marriage of George Coon to Mary Burket North in 1808 in Clearcreek. This, of course, doesn't prove he lived in Clearcreek, only that the marriage was in Clearcreek. The obituary of the oldest son, born a year after the wedding, says he was born in Pickaway County. I also have this from my notes regarding the brother of Mary Burket North: "JOSEPH NORTH, 1805 BIRTH March 18, 1805 Clear Creek Township, Fairfield County, Ohio in the area of Ohio which became Pickaway County but was Fairfield County at the time of Joseph's birth (Pickaway Co., formed in 1810)" This along with William Coon's (1809) birthplace being listed as Pickaway Co, OH may establish that they lived in Pickaway Co prior to moving to Fairfield County in 1813 or that a boundary changed." Any help appreciated. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Raymond, I did look through my files and I don't see anything that might connect into your Coon family. Sorry. I will keep your information and if I do find anything I will let you know.
