Yaun--Cherokee connection?
It's interesting you asked that. My grandfather's grandmother was Talulah Yaun, who lived in the Aiken, S.C.-Augusta, GA area. Her father, (G.A.E. Yaun) fought and died in the Civil War (to roughly date her). My grandfather always thought she was part Cherokee.
I am looking for any other information on this family. Cherokee

On your question of spelling, in my family we have connections with Yaun, Yawn, Yon, Yonn, and Yohn. We trace our line farthest back to Nicholas Yon of SC, but I have seen his name spelled Yohn, Yon, Yonn, and Yau. (Yes, I left the final "n" off on purpose! Don't know if that was a mistake on the record where I saw it.) I spell the name Yawn, but I have cousins who spell it Yaun. The story goes that my great grandfather originally spelled it Yaun, but when he ran for the GA legislature, he changed it to Yawn to attract the votes of other relatives who spelled it that way!
