Hello - Adam Coon is my gggg grandfather. His daughter Mary Jane Coon married 2. Jackson Jarrell. Their daughter Almira Jarrell married Andrew Jackson Mullins of Blair, my gg grandparents. I didn't realize that Adam Coon was the first settler of Seth. Do you have any more info about him? Was he part Indian? Thank you.
