Notes for JEREMIAH GAUNCE:
CONTACT: 5/20/2001 "R. D. Lee" <wb4tej@ij.net> 
"My records show Jeremiah Gaunce was born Jeremiah Gonce in Holland in 1751. The spelling was changed about 1794 to Gaunce except for John Casper Gonce, baptized by Rev. Richard Clarke in Gagetown, New Brunswick in 1800. The change of spelling seems to have been done by Jeremiah's son Isaac for some reason or other."

A search for Gaunce and Gonce in the Netherlands genealogy sites failed to find any. There is one reference to a Hoff Goense at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/2154/spring.htm#32 
"32 Alfra's website Goense, Hoff" but the Alfra's web page fails to load.

Gaunce family, New Brunswick branch Author: Gil Gaunce Date: 22 Jul 1999 11:07 PM GMT
As my branch traces back to Jeremiah Gaunce who was a Loyalist who settled in Gagetown, New Brunwick, Canada after the Revolution, I am interested in any information on him prior to his moving to Canada. Supposedly he was from New York City and had 3 brothers who emigrated to Ohio Territory. 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
James Gaunce, in discussions with Herb Gaunce, relayed the info that Jeremiah, his wife and one child are listed on a dutch ship manifest that sailed to the U.S.. James is to seek out more details from Herb the next time he sees him.
