Hi,

Thanks for the info on Mary Ellen's parents - I think I was trying to figure out if she was one of my Weathersbys or belonged to the "other" Weathersbys. It looks like she isn't one of mine, at least not closely. Thanks for that clarification.

I don't have any info on the Yon family. So sorry!

Happy Researching ~

Carol

Hi, My mother's grandfather was Arthur Robert Yon and his mother was Mary Ellen Weathersby (Arthur's father was William Yon). Mary Ellen's father was Aaron Weathersby born 1835. Aaron married Matilda Caroline Garrison (b. around 1834 in Effington Co, GA. Matilda died in 1869 at Wood County, TX. Matilda's father was Levi Garrison (b, about 1805 in Effington Co, GA)who married Susan Gilford (b, 1806).

Aaron was in the Confederate Army, "Stewart Gray's unit".
Contact my sister, Debbie, at debj2@tds.net. She has all that information! Do you know more about William Yon's parentage, please?

Re: Pietro Yon

bluecountry21 — 2012-11-17 02:40:30Z

Hi Richard,

Thanks for repying to my post. On a recent trip to New York city I stopped by St Patrick's Cathedral and was hoping to find something about Pietro but I had no luck.

My grandfather's name was Guilio Yon he was born in Tavagnasco, Italy Sep 1880. Tavagnasco is a small village across the river from Settimo Vittone, Italy. Guilio's father's name was Gioanni Antonio Yon. Guilio's mother was Lucia Ghi. My great grandfather Gioanni Antonio Yon's father was Givanni Yon, mother was Antonia Gionetti.

I think now that maybe Guilio's dad and Pietro's dad were the cousins but I haven't had time to do the search. As a child Guilio was taught how to play the clarinet by his uncles who were very musical. as an adult he would play in the town bands where he lived at the time.

There were not a lot of Yon's in that area so I think they were all related somehow. One family story was that they came from France 3 or 4 generations before my grandfather I am not sure how factual this is. If you have any information about Pietro's ancestors I would be very interested in sharing family stories and information.

You can contact me directly at bluecountry2@yahoo.com

Lori

Re: George Dowling Yon

rebeccateague80 — 2011-11-17 20:36:02Z

Yes, this does sound like my father. My father, according to what was read to me as young girl, was that he hung himself in an apartment behind the Calhoun County Courthouse. He was married to Sara Jane Yon.

My paternal grandmothers other name weas Estelle Yon. She was married to a Yon, I believe a George Yon, that died serving in a war, I'm not really sure. My father had brothers named Pewee Mitchell, Jimmy Mitchell, and sisters named Linda Young, Ellen Glass, Patricia.

Jack Yon

O_Patrick — 2011-09-10 15:50:58Z

I'm looking for the parents of Jack Yon, if Jack his real name, and the origin of his Yon name.
Jack Yon was born in 1875 died 13 May 1930. He is buried at Faunsdale Cemetery, also known as St. Michaels, in Faunsdale, Marengo County, AL. His gravestone has only 1875-1930.
AL, County Marriages 1809-1950 has Jack Yon married 23 April 1890 Baldwin Co., AL, to Adaline Ford.
In 1900 Jack Yon and his family Adeline wife, Fred 9, Theresa 7 and Bernard 2 were in Lowell, Baldwin Co., AL. This census gives Jack's birth as May 1871 NC and his occupation was day laborer.
Sometime between 1906 and 1910 census Jack & Addie were divorced because on the 1910 census Jack was in the household of his sister and husband, John L and Dolly (Yon) Greer, in Jack Springs, Escambia Co., AL. The 1910 census gives Jack's birth state as NC his occupation was carpenter/blacksmith and Dolly born in FL. Then on 16 Dec 1910 Jack married Dora Jane Moon.
1920 Jack and family was in Demopolis, Marengo Co., AL living on Washington St. [Dora [wife], Dovie 8, Elizabeth 7 and John 9 months. SC is listed as Jack's birth state and occupation was blacksmith.

I have a photograph of Pietro Yon. My GreatAunt kept a scrapbook - these treasures mean nothing to me but to honor her memory I am trying to re-home all pics, postcards etc. I find. If there is a Yon relation out there that would like this photo please post. I am keeping it for one month then destroying the original - however- I have scanned it and have it on file.

Mary Ellen Yon

rsrobertson — 2010-12-06 15:26:42Z

Looking for connections to my great grandmother Mary Ellen Yon. I don't know anything about her except she married Theodore Lutz, whom I don't know anything about either. They had two children, a daughter Pat Izzy Lutz and a son James Ethelbert Lutz. James used the birth date Sept 13, 1914 and was born in Acherman, Michigan. James and his sister Pat were put in an orphanage at an early age. I was told that this orphanage burned down and with it all the records. My grandfather James (Jimmy is what everyone called him) told my grandmother that he was full blooded Chippewa but, he may have only been half. I know that his sister Pat lived in Cheboygan, Michigan. If any of this sounds familiar to anyone, your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time, Rebecca

Re: Jesse YON, Calhoun County, Florida

Yon71 — 2010-05-19 23:47:56Z

I am not sure if Jesse Yon Jr served in the Georgia 60th, but anything is possible. I have not found him in any of the Florida units. I’ll try to follow up on this the next time I make it to the Georgia Archives.

Thank you for the offer of help! I am still looking for the parents of Jesse Yon Sr. as well as the circumstances surrounding the death of several of his children, including Terrell Higdon Yon (b.1820 Georgia) and Jesse Yon Jr.

I can send you copies of the documents I listed in my previous post if you would like them. Just email me at floridayon@yahoo.com

Take care…

Re: Jesse YON, Calhoun County, Florida

vsims68 — 2010-05-19 04:06:22Z

Thank you so much! Yes, this matches my information. However, I did not have the information about the jurors, thus implicating his 1865 death. I found muster records for a Jesse Yon in the Georgia 60th Infantry, and he was born in 1835. I can find no other Jesse Yon born that year, so I am wondering if this could be my Yon. That Jesse Yon was a prisoner of war and injured several times. It lists him as a private. I do not know if doctors at that time were privates or not. The records end in 1964. I often see Terrell Higdon Yon. Is there anything you are looking for?

Re: Jesse YON, Calhoun County, Florida

Yon71 — 2010-05-19 00:16:20Z

Just for clarification, the Jesse Yon referenced in my original post was the father of Dr. Jesse Yon Jr., who was the father of Braxton L. Yon. I don’t have too much on Jesse Yon Jr. or any of his descendants.

What I do have is that Jesse Yon Jr. married Sarah E. Lott, daughter of Luke Lott and Ann M. Thomas, sometime before the 1860 census. Jesse and Sarah had two sons that I know of: William J. Yon (born about 1859) and Braxton L. Yon (born 03/26/1864 and died 08/7/1956). Does this information match what you have?

I think Jesse Yon Jr. died sometime in 1865. He is listed on the 1864 Fall Term Juror List for the Calhoun County Circuit Court at Abe Springs Bluff. In the 1866 Fall Term of the Calhoun County Circuit Court there was a statement signed by Sarah E Yon where she was listed as Administratrix for Jesse Yon (Jr.), deceased, regarding a case between a Robert Johnson and James B. Stone. (James B. Stone was married to Jesse Yon Jr’s sister, Jincy Yon).

Like you I can offer no cause as to Dr. Jesse Yon Jr’s death, only speculation. Several members of Jesse Yon Sr.’s extended family died during the War, including my great great great Grandfather, Terrell Higdon Yon (b. 1820 Laurens County, Georgia and died in late 1863 or early1864).

I hope this helps.

Re: Jesse YON, Calhoun County, Florida

vsims68 — 2010-05-14 06:07:56Z

I am the great great great granddaughter of Dr. Jesse Yon (born 1835, died between 1860 and 1870) and Sarah E. Lott. I can find no cause of death for Jesse, but the Civil War is a logical thing to examine. Sarah went on to marry Enoch Lee. Any information about this family would be so helpful. I am particularly interested in Braxton's daughter, Annie, who had my grandmother, Mattie Lou in June 1908. The person we were always told was her father cannot be because he is listed as single and elsewhere in 1910 census, and Annie Yon is listed as widowed/divorced. Thank you!!!

Re: George Dowling Yon

Yon71 — 2010-02-05 00:46:10Z

I have come across your father’s name several times in my research, but unfortunately I have not connected him to anyone yet. I have his birth and death dates as born on June 10, 1954, and died January 22, 1985 in Calhoun County, Florida. Is this your father?

Do you know if he is any relation to a Dowling “Pete” Joseph Yon, born March 12, 1921 and died August 29, 1999? This individual is buried in Shady Grove Cemetery in Jackson County, Florida.

Do you know your paternal grandmother’s maiden name? Any other information you can provide could be useful in tracking your father’s origins.

I am looking for information about my father, George Dowling Yon, from Blountstown, FL. I would like to find out all the information that I can about my father. I know that he died in 1984 or 1985. His mother was Estelle Yon. Did he ever serve in any military? What is his orgin, etc.

Paul Yon

bcg1970 — 2009-10-26 19:17:26Z

I am looking to find out about my grandfathers lineage. His name was Paul Yon born July 24, 1908 in Cottondale, FL (I think) and he died April 19, 1987 in Gainesville, FL. He had at least one brother (Allen C. Yon of Ocala, FL) He was married to Cleo Bush and had 2 children, Susie (my mom) and Paul. My grandfather lived in Lake Butler, FL for my entire life. I know his father's name was Malachi (Malichi) Yon and his mother's name was Jesse Godwin. I do know that he served in the US Army during WWII.

If anyone has come across any of the above names please contact me as I am at a dead end. I know my grandfather still have family in Cottondale, FL.

If anyone has any information pleas email me @ bcg1970@yahoo.com

Malachi (Malichi) Yon

bcg1970 — 2009-10-26 19:09:10Z

I am looking for some information on Malachi Yon. I don't know much about him. I know that he had at least 2 sons. One was Paul Yon (my grandfather) and the other one was Allen C. Yon aka Bill. Malachi was born on or about Aug 1, 1875 and died on or about April 1968 in Cottondale, FL. From what I have gathered he was married to a Jesse Godwin (Goodwin) who was born on or about Dec 17, 1893 and died on or about Nov 1982 in Century, FL. If anyone has any information on either one of these two please email me @ bcg1970@yahoo.com. Thanks

Re: Jesse YON, Calhoun County, Florida

Yon71 — 2009-09-06 20:54:01Z

The more I research Jesse, the more it looks like he was a descendant of Nicholas Yon (Yonn) from the Orangeburg district of South Carolina. However, I have no hard evidence of this so anything is possible.

Best of luck with your search.

George Adam Yan, protestant refugee

JBailey6391 — 2009-09-05 14:56:50Z

George Adam Yan received 150 acres of land in South Carolina through the Bounty Act of 1761, which was enacted by the colonial General Assembly to attract Protestant refugees to the colony. On page 60 of Council Journal 36 (pp. 842-846) dated October 17, 1766, George Adam Yan was among numerous applicants for warrants of survey on their bounty land. On page 762 it is noted that "The Petitioners also set forth that they were protestants arrived in this province in the ship Britannia from Amsterdam on the encouragement and Bounty given by the Act of the General Assembly passed the 25th, July 1761."

I left Florida when I was 12 years old. If anyone has any info I would appreciate it.
