Descendants of John George "Honiery" Kanouse
of Bergen County, New Jersey

Note: This page is under construction. More content to come.

From David Kanouse, kanouse@rand.org, with added material:

John George ("Honiery") settled at Newfoundland, Bergen County, New Jersey, not far from where Jacob lived. He is likely the Johan Georg Knauss whose baptism was recorded at the Evangelische Kirche Dornhan in Wurttemberg 2 April 1732. The church record says that he and his brother Jacob went to "Pennsylvania," which could be a broad reference to "America." Or the brothers may have set out for Pennsylvania and ended up in New Jersey instead. John George died at Newfoundland, Pompton Township, Bergen County, New Jersey 7 December 1810. He had a son, Jacob, born 10 June 1762. Quite a few of the Kanouses in the area of Newark and East Orange during the late 1800s are descendants of this Jacob. Another son, John Kanouse, born about 1765, removed to Manchester, Ontario County, New York, where he had a very large family. He often spelled his last name "Kanouts". Those are the only two children known, though there may have been daughters as yet unfound.
