Wife Nancy (McConnell)Yontz married a 2nd time:
Muhlenberg County KY Marriage
21 Mar 1878 - Wm. Calaway - Mrs. Nancy Yonts

She is buried in Nelson Creek Cemetery by Charley Sharp s/o JW and ENF Sharp. (Somewhere I picked up that Eliza's full name was Elizabeth Nancy Yontz. Don't know what the F. stood for.)

Nancy Callaway - 21 Sep 1821 - 19 Aug 1886

Now concerning what Nancy McConnell married JW Yonts. Several years ago I worked on the McConnell. We were never able to find conclusive proof but here is what we came up with:
Fannie Davis d/o Henry Davis and Fanny Randall m. James McConnell in 1817. Their children were:
Wiliam H. McConnell
John B. McConnell
Fanny McConnell
Nancy McConnell
Lucinda McConnell (m. John L. Yonts)
James McConnell
Elizabeth McConnell

At another time (I have company just now) I would be glad to share my McConnell data. I feel pretty sure that it was this Nancy McConnell who married John Warner Yontz.
