William's father, Joseph Hon Jr, grandmother, Mary Hon, & 3 aunts: Katherine Hon-Ferriss, Mary Hon-Sipp, & Margot Hon-Miller were all taken captive by different Indian tribes during the attack on Ruddle's Fort, in June 1780, in Cynthiana, Kentucky. Joseph Hon Jr had just turned 6 years old when he was taken captive. He was held in captivity from 6-12 years. The exact Indian tribe that took him is unknown.
Mary Hon, William's grandmother was held captive for over 6 years by Shawnee Chief Blue Jacket. Husband, Joseph Hon Sr paid a ransom for her several times before she was actually released to him. Joseph Hon Sr. was away from the fort when it was attacked by British Canadian Rangers & about 700 Indians of different tribes.
It was the habit of the Indians to separate family members to keep them from trying to escape together. It is only known that all 4 children were taken by Indians, but there is no documentation as to which tribe held each of them.
It is however documented in the Draper Manuscript interview with Katherine Hon-Ferriss' daughters that she was made to "run the gauntlet" Katherine and husband, Joseph Thomas Ferriss accepted the offer of land and settled in Essex County, Ontario, Canada where she lived out the rest of her life.
Joseph Hon Jr, William's father finally did escape captivity and found his parents. They all lived next to each other on Cane Creek, in Powell County, Kentucky where they owned a very substantial amount of land. In 1825, Joseph Hon Sr willed his land to Joseph Jr stipulating that he take care of his mother for the rest of her life. Joseph Jr did exactly that.
This land on Cane Creek, in Powell County, Kentucky is located where the "Martin Cemetery" sits. That cemetery was originally known as the "Hon Cemetery"
If you visit this Martin Cemetery the old Hon burials are located inside the gate in the front left corner of the cemetery where there are several unmarked field stones. William's sister, Amanda Jane Hon-Willoughby is also buried in this cemetery. Her stone is engraved and legible. It sits maybe 30 feet away from the old stones.

HON, William 1797 - 1850's Father of Archibald Hon
Informant Pauline Williams.
NOTE: Pauline Hon-Williams was one of William & Sarah Darnall-Hon's 2nd great-granddaughters. Her line is as follows: (Father) Thomas Russell Hon, (Grandfather) George Bramlet Hon, (Great Grandfather) Archibald Hon, (2nd Great Grandfather) William Hon 1797
It is a fact the William and wife, Sarah Darnall-Hon were still living in 1870. They are in the August 1870 census record living with their youngest daughter, Gillian Ann Hon-Patrick, in Mt Pleasant, Cass County, Missouri. William's age: 73 & Sarah's age: 75.
Gillian and her husband owned a farm. I firmly believe that both William Hon & wife, Sarah Darnall-Hon are buried on that property.
