Please verify this as it has been a family mystery to all us descendants of John Counts of Glade Hollow. Our family goes to great lengths to document and verify our lineage and verification of this claim would be a monumental breakthrough. Thanks, Tilden Counts III Source: The most significant source for descendants information for the Counts family of Russell Co. is "Some Descendants of John Counts of Glade Hollow (Southwest Vigrinia)," researched and collected by Elihu Jasper Sutherland, compiled and supplemented by Hetty Swindall Sutherland. This marvelous resource may be found in the Russell Co. Public Library and purchased from the Sutherland Family. Source: Vivian Bales correspondence, 4/21/1997. "John Counts of Glade Hollow, Russell Co., VA. Slaveholder in Page and Shenandoah Co., VA. To Russell Co., 1789, his wife was Mary Magdalene." She provided the descenants of this John Counts and gives "Bonnie S. Ball, A Rasnick descendant," as her source. Source: Carin Vance database (1997) has conflicting information. She indicated that Johannes Counts was b. 1706 and died 1777. Source: Izetta K. Sucurro [izettak@juno.com] sent 3/12/2001, the following information. The following is copied from Xerox pages, however I do not know the name of the book or where I got it. Mrs. Robert Carter (Elizabeth Counts) was the granddaughter of John Johannes Counts (Coons or Koontz). John Counts is believed to be the uncle of Philip Koontz of Barbour County. John Johannas was believed to be the son of John George and Catherine Coons of Conts Lot, Washington County, near Hagerstown, Maryland, and later of Cumberland, Maryland. John Johannas, the grandfather of Elizabeth, was probably born about 1730-36 and died in 1803 in Russell County, Virginia. John Johannas Counts first came into the records in 1765 when he purchased 270 acres from John Bumgarner on the west side of Hawksbill Creek, Frederick County, Virginia. Part of this land became the homestead of his son, Philip Koontz. John Counts' wife was Magdalen. In 1831 the new county of Page was established and the old Counts home on Hawksbill Creek fell into the new Page County, Virginia. John's son, Philip, married Ann Kiser at Woodstock, Shenandoah County. The marriage bond of Philip Couts (Counts or Koontz) to Ann Kiser, August 22, 1785, was recorded at Woodstock. Jacob Raresnake, brother-in-law of Philip, was the surety for the bond. When John Johannas Counts moved south to Russell County, he deeded part of the 270 acres he had received from Bumgarner to Sinnet Young and the rest to his son Philip. On April 27, 1803, the will of John Counts was presented to the court of Russell County and proven by John Hargis, a witness thereto. The children of John Counts were: Eve Maticks, eldest daughter; Mary Raresnake; John Counts, Jr.; Lissey Willard, wife of Harry Willard, son of Martin; Catherine; Christian; Phillip; and George. Philip Koontz (Counts), the son of John Counts of Russell County lived on the old Counts farm on Hawksbill and died there in 1843. His wife Ann was a sister of Joseph Kiser. Philip and Ann had two children, Jacob and Elizabeth. Elizabeth, the daughter, married Robert Carter, a minister. This couple emigrated to Barbour County and located near Philip Koontz, their kinsman. Jacob, the son of Philip of Page County and brother of Elizabeth, was a gambler and borrowed money from George Koontz of Page County which apparently he had trouble repaying. He moved to Baltimore, Maryland. His father, Philip, made a will and gave Jacob the use of land only until he died, then it was to go to his sister Elizabeth's children. Jacob Kurtz (Koontz) of Baltimore, Maryland, the son of Philip, died in 1840. Ownership of the 400 acres was listed in the tax books of Randolph County as Jacob Kurtz, heirs, of Baltimore, Maryland. Ownership of this tract was transferred in this manner to the tax books of the new county of Barbour in 1843 and remained this way of the books until 1858. Elizabeth Koontz, the daughter of Philip of Hawksbill Creek, was born in 1800. She married Robert Carter, a minister, who performed the marriage ceremony for Isaac, grandson of Philip Koontz of Barbour County. Robert Carter's will was written in October, 1845. If the customs of the time were faithfully adhered to, this was probably a deathbed testament and Robert's death followed shortly thereafter. His children were: Ann R. McGriffin; Jane Amanda Wilson; Son, Eppa H. Carter; Son, Charles B. Carter; Son, Philip G. Carter; Elizabeth S. (Cross); Mary Ellen (Cosane); David Greenberry Carter. In the July 25, 1850 census of Barbour County only Elizabeth Carter, age 50 female born in Virginia, was living alone with her children: James Carter, 30 male; Philip G., 21 male; Mary B, 13 female; Charles B., 11 male; David G., 8 male; and Elizabeth, 16 female. Upon Robert Carter's death in 1843, Elizabeth and son, James O. Carter, became the administrators of his estate. About 1858 James O. Carter died and the other children of Elizabeth and Robert Carter inherited the 400 acres of Jacob Kurtz, which they began to dell to Legman Wilson. David Wilson had married Jane Amanda Carter, and Legman Wilson was their son. This was the land Elizabeth (Koontz) Carter's children had inherited from her father, Philip Koontz of Page County, upon the termination of brother Jacob's life estate. In a deed made February 2, 1866, between David G. Carter and Virginia, his wife, to Legman Wilson, "Estate bequeathed by Philip Koontz of Page County, Virginia, heirs of Robert Carter. Charles B. Carter and Nancy, his wife, to Legran Wilson, "bequeathed by Phillip Knote (Koontz of Page County, Va. To the heirs of Robert Carter.
