• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY: http://www.fuldaohio.com/genealogy/pafg216.htm#11002 In 1850, 25 year old German-born farmer Joseph Yonce lived in District 107 of Seneca Twp., Monroe County, Ohio with his wife Mary Ann (24) and children Elizabeth (6), Barbara (4), George (2) and Belona (1). Only Elizabeth attended school. The children were all born in Ohio. The oldest three children were from Mary Ann's first marriage. Joseph's real estate was valued at $500. In 1860, the family still lived in Seneca Twp. on a farm worth $4700. Members of the household were Joseph Yontz (36), Mary A. (34), Elizabeth (16), Barbary (14), George (12), Apalone (10), Mary A. (9), Margaret (6), Hannah (4), Clara (3), and Phermina (1). The census taker used a ditto mark (") for the surname of each person under Joseph Yontz, indicating that the last name of all the children was Yontz. (The oldest three children were from Mary Ann's first marriage to George Becker.) At the time of the 1870 census, Bavarian-born farmer Joseph Yontz (45) still lived in Seneca Twp. He was fairly well off... his farm was worth $7000 and his personal possessions were valued at $1280. Joseph lived with his wife, Maryann (43), also born in Bavaria, and children Michael (17), Hannah (15), Clarissa (13), Philomena (11), Joseph (9), Chrisena (7), Catharine (5), Juliann (3), George (1), and Martin (1 month). None of the children attended school. According to researcher Mark Haren, Joseph Yontz fathered 19 children, plus 3 step-children. At this time, the names of only 13 children, plus the three step-children are known. It should be noted that the child(ren) born in 1853 -- Margaret and Michael -- may be the same child... they do not appear in any census together. Joseph Yontz's funeral services were conducted by Reverend Ignatus Sagerer.
