Johan Adam was born in 1771 in Bucks Co, Pennsylvania to Johan George Adam Lohnes, 1744-1793, of Starkenburg, Germany and Anna Rosina Dellinger, 1740-1814, from Shenandoah Co, Virginia. He married Catharine Nehs Neasey, 1783-1861 from Shenanadoah Co, Virgnina, in 1796, in Woodstock, Shenandoah Co, Virginia. They had 6 children (that I've found so far)
1798, they resided in Greene Co, Tennessee. Adam bought 100 acres from his brother-in-law. Catharines' father sold land to Adams father in VA.
1850, Johan Adam, age 79, & Catharine, age 68, resided in Greene Co, Tennessee, Farmer
1860, Johan Adam, age 91, Catharine, age 85, resided in Greene Co, Tennessee. They also had Wm & Daniel Cobble as part of thier household.
It is unknown if Johan Adam Lonas was buried here in the Lonas Cemetery, but since the Henry Lonas 1765-1848 was Johan's half brother, I am placing him here with the rest of the Lonas/Lones's... Rest in Peace GG+Granfather Lonas.

Adam Lones and wife Catherine Neas Lones lived in Mosheim, Greene County, Tennessee in 1860. It is believed they are buried in the Blue Springs Cemetery (cemetery ID 822618) in Mosheim. The Lones family in Knox County, Tennessee had little or no communications with the Lones families in Greene County, Tennessee. Family tradition is that they separated over some disagreement and did not continue family ties after the separation.
When Catherine died in 1861, the Civil War was already raging. The Lones family in Greene County were primarily Union supporters and Knoxville at that time was controlled by the Confederate army. The confederates controlled the only railroad from Mosheim to Knoxville, a distance of 60 miles or so. It is not likely they would allow known union supporters to use their railroad for transporting a corpse to be buried there. Other transportation methods would have required 3 days or more and not likely.
Note that Lones and Lonas were often interchanged by some family members.
