W&M-1613. John Alfred Koons (1826-1890) and wife Georgina Celstia (Miller) (1835-1888) are buried in Haugh's Church north of Woodsboro. Ancestor Heinrich Kuhns/Kuntz probably was a Palatine German who embarked for America from the Netherlands. It may have been his son Henry (over 45 years in 1800 census) who had 6 sons, including John Coones in Buckeystown District in 1800; also Abraham, Henry, and George of age 26-45 years in Taneytwon District in the 1800 census. George Koons (1753-1817) who married Susannah Stroyer (1760-1848) is buried at Taneytown Reformed Church. Their son Peter (1795-1876) and wife Mary Ann (Ott) (1803-1866) are busied at Haugh's Church. They were parents of John Alfred Koons.

Descendent Carroll H. Hendrickson Jr. pointed out that the will of Henry Koons (died 1821) gives his children as Abraham; Henry Jr.; Jacob; deceased John, George, and William; Eve; Catherine; deceased Ann and Mary.
