Huguenot origin of the Yon Family?
Although I am not a Yon researcher, in the course of trying to discover the earliest origins of the HUTTO family of Orangeburgh District South Carolina, I noticed that these families were not only neighbors but at times served together as sponsors for baptisms in the 1750s, suggesting a close family tie.
Recently another Hutto researcher came up with the theory that the Hutto family was originally from Normandy, specifically the area of Seine-Maritime northeast of Rouen.His basis for thinking this was that Isaac Hutto, the founder of all Hutto lines in America, had a distinctly non-Germanic first name.He suggested the family name was HAUTOT which when pronounced aloud is the same as OTTO in German.
So I started snooping around the internet for confirmation of his theory, and guess what?Although the names HAUTOT and YON are quite rare throughout most of France there are definite records for both family names in the records of the Protestant Church of Lintot, Canton of Bolbec, Seine-Maritime.This was a Huguenot congregation, and following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 many of the congregation left for Germany, the Netherlands, and England.
Here is a list I lifted from the Lintot website of Yons between 1600 and 1700.Not all Yons left the area and I believe may still live here.Lintot itself is a tiny village of only 451 inhabitants.The symbols used below include a "o" for date of birth and a "x" for date of marriage.You can see this area was a hotbed of Yons.
The reason I am excited to think that this is where the family really came from before going to the Palatinate en route to South Carolina, is the marriage which you see below in 1657 between Isaac Yon and Judith Hautot.That shows a definite link between families of highly unusual names almost a hundred years before they landed in America.
This MAY be a coincidence.I tend to think not but would appreciate comments from any Yon researchers.If anytone can figure a way to show what village in Germany the Yons and Hautots/Ottos went to this would be a huge step forward.I know that bot all Yons are descended from the Yons of Orangeburg but this is a step to learning the origins of the family.
