"John's actual date of birth is unknown. According to his grandson, John Yount of Linn Co., MO, he was two years old when he arrived in America some time between 1745 and 1750. If John's father were Hans Georg Jundt, his year of birth would have been 1747."

"After his marriage he settled on Lick Creek in present day Davidson Co., NC, which at the time was part of Rowan Co. He was recorded in the 1790 census as John Yont. In a 1795 land sale transaction his name was spelled John Yunt, but he signed as Johannes Jundt. After the sale of this land he moved to Wilkes Co., NC, listed next to his brother-in-law, Matthias Harmon on a 1795 tax list."

"In March of 1807, John purchased 100 acres of land in Campbell Co., TN, from Richard Linville, his son-in-law. He remained in Campbell Co. until 1811 when he sold the land back to Richard Linville for the same amount he paid for it."[7]
