Coon Descendants, by Frances Davis McTeer, 1979, (pg. 175): "John Coon, born in Botetourt Co., Virginia, 1 Nov 1809, died at the home of his daughter near Inskip, Butte Co., California, 23 Aug 1896; married in Ross Co., Ohio 23 March 1833, Sarah Gray, born in Virginia in 1808, died near Inskip about 1885-1887, possible daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth (Coon) Gray. Both buried in Dayton Cemetery."
