8. | Nicholas Koon was born Abt 1753, Newberry County, South Carolina (son of Benedictus Kuhn); died 26 Dec 1831, Rutherford County, North Carolina; was buried Koon Family Cemetery, Rutherford County, North Carolina. Notes: Nicholas Kuhn, who according to ship records and grant applications was not born by 1756 but according to his death notice was born in 1746. Most researchers believe the ship records because Benedict's land grant was for 150 acres (50 acres for each family member). So Nicholas Kuhn was born circa 1753 in Newberry County, South Carolina. He is listed as a millwright when he buys 150 acres of land close to his father, Benedict, on Crim's Creek in the fork of Broad and Saludy Rivers, from George Hollman on 3 April 1773. This was probably about the time of Nicholas' marriage to Mary DeWalt. Nicholas and Mary moved to Rutherford County, North Carolina by 1790, settled on Cedar Creek and erected a corn mill. He appears in the third Co. of the 1790 census, five houses from John Ownbey, close to the Ledbetters, Harris', Nanneys, Hills, Hamptons, Daltons, Searcys, Morgans and Bradleys. Nicholas married Mary DeWalt Abt 1773. Mary (daughter of Daniel DeWalt and Susannah Gray) was born 1760; died 1844; was buried Koon Family Cemetery, Rutherford County, North Carolina. [Group Sheet] |
