Dear Shirley I have no specific information on your Yount connection, but I can give you some possibilities to check out. First, have you checked the 1850, 1860, and 1870 US censuses for Indiana to try to identify Nancy Angeline Yount's parents? If we could get back several more generations, I think we could probably connect her up with one of the Yount immigrants. Yount researchers think all spring from the same family in Europe. The original name was Jundt. Various spellings have appeared in the US such as Yundt, Youndt, Yunt, Yont, Jund, Junt, etc., so you need to check for alternate spellings. By 1850 though, I think Yount had become the most prevalent spelling. The family originated in the Black Forest region of Baden, Germany in the 14th century. By the early 16th century, branches had gone to Switzerland and Alsace. My branch of the family came from Alsace on the ship Britannia, Sept 21, 1731. The name was spelled Gunt or Gundt on the ship's list. Hans George Jundt and sons Jacob, George and John were on the list. John and several of the sons of Jacob came to North Carolina in the mid to late 1700s. The family of John has been well-documented. He did have a youngest son, Andrew, who went to Morgan County, Indiana along with a nephew, Joseph. He died there prior to 1836. He had a son, Jonathan, born 1803. Jonathan had sons J. A. and W. R. born 1830 and 1832 respectively. They would have been the right age to have had a daughter, Nancy. Morgan County is just southeast of Indianapolis, and about 65 miles north of where your Yount family was. Another branch of the family was Quaker, which descends from Andrew, a son of Hans George Jundt, who came later than the rest of the family. Andrew's sons came to North Carolina, about a hundred miles east of where their cousins were. They and or their descendants went west to KY, OH, and IA. At least one line went to Richmond, IN, near the Ohio border. A later immigrant was Rudolph Yount, which also ended up in NC (relationship to other Younts not known). His son, William, went to Jackson Township in Fountain County, IN in 1839, which is near the IL border. He was in the wool and mercantile business as well as teaching school. He was elected County Recorder in 1870. Another branch of early immigrants were four siblings who came from Switzerland (without permission to emigrate!). One of these, Hans Adam, is said to have ended up in Bedford County, PA. Others were in MD (Frederick County) and the Shenandoah Valley of VA. Hans Adam's son, George, went to northern KY after the American Revolution and settled about half way between Lexington and Louisville. It would not have been unusual for his sons to have gone on into Ohio or Indiana. I hope this will be enough to get you started. Once you identify Nancy's parents and, hopefully, grand parents from census records, wills, estate settlements, land records, I think we can make some real headway in determining which immigrant group she belongs to. Please keep me informed. Happy searching! Ray Yount
