The earliest information we have about George Coon is his marriage to Mary Burket North in Fairfield County, OH in 1808.  George had at least two brothers, Jacob and Samuel who were in the area at the same time.  George remained in Ohio until about 1831 when he moved to Tippicanoe County, IN.  In 1851 George and his sons George, James, Abraham, and Marion and their families moved to Sauk County, WI.  The other two sons, William and Reason, moved to Hickory County, MO.  Jacob never married and died in Ohio.  It is unknown what happened to Samuel and his family.   The surname has been variously recorded as Cone, Koon, and Koontz.   The family may be of Dutch or German descent.
