I read Lourline Mhoon York's message and was intrigued by James E. Mhoon. She states these Mhoons were in Arkansas from the early 1850's to around 1868 when they moved to Bell County, Texas. First of all, I come from the William Pleasant Moon family from Holland, Temple, and Belton Texas. Most of my relatives are buried at Holland, Bell Cty, Texas including my mother.
The James Mhoon intrigued me because I have tracked a James Mhoon from Bertie Cty, NC (in connection with Spiveys) down to Colbert Cty, AL (old State of Franklin). If you go to
www.usgenweb.com, click on Alabama, click on Colbert Cty, click on cemetaries, there is a Mhoontown Cemetary there. Also a story on the Mhoons from Bertie Cty, NC.
I believe the Mhoons and the Moons are the same families. Trying to sort it out. Any help would be appreciated.
I have tons of info on the Moons. Some from Bucks Cty,, PA, down thru VA, NC, SC, GA - and then Grandpa over into Texas.
