I am looking for information on the parents of Jacob Kuhn, born 1775, died 1841. Jacob is buried in the Penn's Creek Union Cemetery (formerly Emanuel Evangelical?)
I cannot find anything on Jacob's parents, but i believe his wife was Catarina (Marie Catherine Yeisley) born 1773(?) died 1841. Also buried in Penn's Creek Union Cemetery- listed as Catarina Kuhn w/o Jacob- German Fieldstone.
I believe Jacob to be the father of William Kuhn, born in Centre, Union Co. (now Snyder) PA in 1801. William had most of his kids in Union Co. then moved to Kosciusko Co. Indiana. There was a bunch of Swartzlanders connected to the family who also went on to Indiana.
I have a feeling that Jacob came to Centre from Northampton PA. I know the Yeisley family was in Northampton, and also in Northumberland (then called Union, then Snyder) in Center.
William's wife was Catharine Wyant (Wiand). There is a Jacob Wyant in the Centre area, too.
If anyone has a good lead for me- I'd really appreciate it. I am wondering if there was a name change prior to Centre Twp.? I have seen Koon, Coon, Kuntz, Kuhns etc. in the census of the surrounding counties.
I have William Kuhn (1801) and his descendants all the way to me if anyone if interested. The fmaily appears to have gone form PA to IN to KY to AR.
Thanks in advance,
Christopher Kuhn
