FAMILY NAME
As with many early families that settled in America, the spelling of surnames were varied. The original German spelling of the family name is Göhn. It evolved into other variations, such as Coon, Koon, Goan, Kuhn, Kohn and Goon.

People wrote the name the way it was pronounced. Lloyd B. Gohn, author of the book "A Historical Sketch of the Gohn Family in Canada" writes on page 3 that "In Pennsylvania to this day the name "Gohn" is pronounced "Goon"". Census recorders and others wrote the name the way they understood it and sometimes the alternate spelling was carried on.

Henry's Great Grandfather, Johann “John” Göhn, arrived in America on September 19, 1738, on the ship Thistle and landed at Philadelphia from Rotterdam via Plymouth, England. Johann settled in York County, Pennsylvania. Henry's Grandfather, Christian Coon, was a Revolutionary War Veteran, and eventually settled in Ohio.

The descendants of Louis and Sarah primarily use the KUHN spelling.
