HI!I am the daughter of Harry George Cohoon.He was the brother of Walter Henry, Dale Snyder, Irene Celeste Cohoon McFarland, Margery Lenore Cohoon Demmon, Buell Mason Cohoon who died an infant and Baby Boy Cohoon (otherwise unnamed) who died an infant.There was no Henry.Their father, William Wilson Cohoon was born April 13, 1869 in Effingham Kansas.He married Clara Kathryn Snyder on December 07, 1898 in Effingham and he died February 02, 1913 in Omaha Nebraska.William Wilson's father was Jacob Anderson Cohoon.He was born April 09, 1842 in Ashe County North Carolina.He married Rachel Eskridge on August 19, 1864.I believe we have Jacob's date of death in some of our information but I don't have it at hand right now.Jacob's father was Barnabas Cohoon.He was born in Surry County North Carolina on August 25, 1819.He married Lucy Reece (her birth date was October 16, 1820) in Surry County in 1838.They had three children in North Carolina: William R born 1840; Jacob born 1842; and Susan (English) born 1843.In 1844 they moved to Buchanan County Missouri. Daughters, Elizabeth (Myers)and Nancy (Barthlow)were born there.Then in 1855 the family moved to grasshopper township, Atchison County, (Effingham) Kansas. More children were born there:Mary C (McEuen); Sarah F; Fannie (Harris); Thomas A; and Alvin (the youngest).Our understanding is that there were eleven children.I guess we are missing one.We are pretty sure of the above information (unless there was a typo).We are stumped as to who Barnabas Cohoon's parents were.
