He was an earnest advocate of the abolition of slavery, and of the principles of peace, as held by the Friends.: He was withal personally agreeable and interesting; and his weight little less than three hundred pounds.

William Henry Yount and his wife, Mariann Waymire Yount, with their children migrated from Randolph County, North Carolina to Montgomery County, Ohio in the fall of 1802 together with a party of which Herbert C. Hoover's ancestors were members.

William Henry Yount located in Montgomery County, entering a full section of land. He later moved on the Lebanon, Warren County, Ohio, returning to Montgomery County, Ohio in 1807. We find in an Atlas of Montgomery County, Ohio, in the history of Butler Township, which includes the village of Little York, that Henry Yount, George Sinks, Thomas Newman and John Quillon, were the first settlers in that locality and built the first log house there.They settled near Little York,which is near the Stillwater river, called at that time the North-West Branch of the Big Miami River.

Mariann Waymire Yount died in Butler Township, Montgomery County, Ohio,October 7, 1822, and her husband, William Henry Yount, died there October 20, 1822, just thirteen days apart.

In an Atlas in the Dayton library, we find a remark that "Henry Yount had brown children when he came to Ohio."No doubt they were tanned by the burning rays of the semi-tropic sun.

William Henry Yount's daughter, Catherine Yount, married Frederick Hoover, and Jacob Yount's daughter, Catherine Yount, married David Hoover, brothers.These were the founders of the town, now the City of Richmond, Indiana, the strongest Quaker stronghold west of the Alleghenies.
