The Yonce family has several connections to my Rauton lines in the Johnston, Edgefield Co, and surrounding areas, so I collected some DC to identify some of the folks I have researched. They connect to the Derricks as well. Billie Jones ----------------------------------------------- 1918 - Death Cert. #10879, Edgefield Co, SC Eliza Yonce Female, white, widow b. Aug 1846, SC father: (Burger) Franklin, SC mother: (Ciety Wave), SC d. (June) 9, 1918, Johnston, Edgefield Co, SC cause: not given, unreadable, or I forgot to get it. informant: (M. R.) Yonce, Johnston, SC buried: Mt. Calvary UT: Lott-Walker, Johnston, SC Checked in the 1870 and 1880 & 1910 census to find out which Yonce she married, and I believe her to the wife of Solomon Yonce found in 1880 & 1910 CENSUS:1880 Ward twp, Edgefield, South Carolina, p. 436B [Source: FHL Film 1255228 National Archives Film T9-1228] Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace Solomon YONCE Self M M W 28 SC Occ: Farmer Fa: SC Mo: SC Eliza E.

YONCE Son M S W 4 SC Fa: SC Mo: SC Ludy A. YONCE Son M S W 2 SC Fa: SC Mo: SC Beside the dates that work, and the fact that Solomon died before Eliza Yonce, note the informant on her death cert. M. R. Yonce is probably her son Milledge R. Yonce of the 1880 census. I also believe that she is the daughter of Burgess Franklin and Celia Unknown. DC looks like Wave, but I have not seen that name in Edgefield families before in my research. Is this Burgess the right one, buried in Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church, North Aiken Co, SC Franklin, Burgess Nov 10 1821 - Oct 28 1895 Franklin, Mrs. Cealy Nov 23 1824 - Nov 26 1899 Wife may match this B.

SC *Franklin Eliza A. E. 3 F . . . SC Franklin Susan F. 1 F . . . SC Franklin Frances 15 F . . . SC All this is pretty circumstancial, but seems to fit together. If anyone has info. to disprove this connection, please let me know. Eliza and Solomon are buried together in Mt Calvary Lutheran Church, south of Johnston, in Aiken Co. Yonce, Eliza Aug 17 1846 - Jun 9 1918 Yonce, Solomon Nov 29 1850 - Feb 4 1916 --------------------------------------------------------------- 1930 - Death Cert # 29693, Edgefield Co, SC L. E.

Would love any proof that someone might have. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Well this one puts a kink into the mix: Note the Mother's name. It was difficult to read, that's why it is in ( ), but did look like Koon. 1925 - Death Cert. #5823, Edgefield Co, SC America Yonce White, Female, single, 63 b. Edgefield Co, SC father: Abram Yonce, Edgefield Co, SC mother: Miss (Koon), Edgefield Co, SC d.

Calvary [Luteran Church, Aiken Co, SC] UT: Lott-Walker, Johnston, SC Is the informant her brother John E. Yonce? If so, he should know the mother. He is also buried at Mt. Calvary as follows: Yonce, Willie Clifton Oct 30 1895 - Nov 10 1918 * Yonce, John E. [Elliott] Aug 20 1866 - Mar 8 1927 Yonce, Mary HOLSOMBACK Mar 17 1866 - Jun 3 1943 His death date should allow for him to have a death cert. so I have added it to my very long list of other DCs to check. Anyone have any information pointing to a Miss Koon? -----------------------------------------------------------------
