I was wondering if your Joseph McKune could be the same as or an ancestor of the one below. This JK McCune came from Pa in about 1808 to Ohio. He was justice of the Peace in Union twp in Muskingum co Ohio. He married George Watson and Elizabeth Mapes same county in 1809. He purchased the property below from James and Selvina Watson in 1808 also in Union twp Muskingum co Ohio. Joseph McCune fought in the war of 1812. I have more information on him but I wonder if there is a connection.The Mapes were from Orange co NY and located to the same area of Ohio, as the Watsons and the McCunes, James Watson wasthought to be Georges father and possibly from Somerset co Pa just prior to arriving in Ohio. Summerset co was once Bedford co until 1785.
