I belong to a research group that has been working on Koontz (Kuhns, Couns, Kunts, etc.) for years and years.We finally found our known ancestor's father Henry Couns md. to Susanna, and have only recently found a marriage record in Frederick Co., MD that we think is theirs: Henrich Kunts [sic] md. Susanna Schaeffer 12 Nov 1782 in Frederick Co., MD; Henry was the son of Balthazar of Rockingham Co., VA and Susanna was the daughter of George Schaeffer of Loudoun Co., VA.There was a road in the making between Frederick Co., MD and Loudoun Co., VA, so that's why they could be in all these places at once.I think that George might have later been in Rockingham Co., VA.Henry Koontz died in 1821, Nicholas Co., VA (later WV), and Susanna died a bit later.His will in Hicholas Co. lists all their children, including a George, a Jacob and a Susanna.The named Andrew comes up in their grandchildren.I've noticed that there is an Andreus in the Shaeffer/Shaver genealogies.Anyway, to any of these names or places ring a bell with anyone.Does anyone know of George Schaeffer (any spelling) of MD and VA, possibly born in PA?
