To all COUNTS - CUNTZE - KOUNTZ,

I am a descendant of Philip KOUNTZ, son of John "of Glade Hollow" COUNTS - CUNTZE - KOUNTZ etc. and his wife Mary Magdeline UNKNOWN (possibly SUMMERS).

Philip's surname is written as KOUNTZ in the Bible of his daughter Elizabeth KOUNTZ Carter. The surname is spelled consistently as such in our line. I note that in no record I am aware of is John's son Philip recorded as "Counts".

However, we know that Philip's father is the John "COUNTS" who later moved to Glade Hollow, Russell Co., VA.

I would like to begin a discussion of the "facts" about John "of Glade Hollow" COUNTS - CUNTZE - KOUNTZ etc. and see more actual documentation on his line and his wife, and hopefully his parents.

The descendants of John KOONTZ - COUNTS AKA: Elder John KOONTZ who married Elizabeth BAKER and had four children have insisted that "THEIR" John is the son of Johannes (John) Counts (Cuntze) and Anna Elizabetha "Catherine" Stoever, but these parents are also given as the parents or "OUR" John of Glade Hollow.

I would like to call on all descendants of both men to help resolve this problem. FACTS PLEASE!!!

Thanks,

Sharon Lemkuil
