Joseph Hon of Montgomery Co, KY

While this might not help very much, I did want to give you what I have.I am a descendant of Jonas and Mary Keithley Hon.While Keithley is the name listed for her in every source I have, there is no source for Keithley.Mary was first married to Jacob Rowland (Roland).In the selling of his estate Mary, the widow of Jacob Roland, is listed as Mary Hon wife of Jonas.Here is the first time I find Jonas for a fact.I have copies of these papters. This was in Rowan Co, NC, 1779.
Peter Keithly Hon, the preacher, was the son of Jonas and Mary Hon.If Mary maiden name was Keithley, I do not believe that Jonas' father would have been Peter KEITHLEY Hon.I have always questioned that Jonas father was Peter Keithly Hon.Also other Jonas Hon researchers have questioned it.
I find Jonas Hon with Joseph Hon (How) in a typed book of the 1797 Montgomery Co, KY, tax list records.If they are not brothers, I believe that they are related.One researcher has given me that the oldest child of Jonas and Mary was born in NC and their second, John, was born 1781 in KY.
The last thing I have is that Catherine Hon Sears the oldest child of Jonas and Mary Hon is in the Harrison Co, IN, 1880 census.She is listed as 92 living with a grandchild.It list that both of her parents being born in Germany.It also has her being born in IN which is incorrect so who knows!
I too am interested in proving if these two men are brothers, or at least related, where they were born and when.
