My Conn/Cohn's - KY,AL,TN,MS,AR
Posted by: Michelle Keener Date: September 04, 1998 at 17:15:17
  of 1748

My line of Conn/Cohn's starts with Levi B. Conn/Cohn (I have see it spelled both ways on different census reports).
The 1850 census for Pontotoc County, Mississippi, lists:
Levi B. Cohn, age 39, married, Farmer, born in Kentucky.
Elizabeth, age 36, wife, born in Alabama
Rebecca, age 16, daughter, born TN
Sarah, age 15, daughter, born TN
Greene, age 10, son, born TN
Elizabeth, age 8, daughter, born TN
Robert, age 6, son, born TN
Martha, age 4, daughter, born Mississippi
William Pare, age 9, born TN

There are other Cohn families listed as neighbors.
The 1860 census finds them in Poinsett county, Arkansas:
Levi B. Conn, 47, farmer, born in KY
Elizabeth, 46, born in AL
Robert, 15, farming, born in TN
Martha, 14, born in MS
Mary, age 9, no bp listed
Perry, age 7, no bp listed
Columbus, age 5, no bp listed.

Daughter Rebecca married Clinton W. Jacobs
Daughter Sarah married Edmond Little Jacobs
(sisters married brothers)

1870 census finds them again in Poinsett co, Ark:
Conn, Levi, 57, farmer, born Ark (???)
Elizabeth, 55, keeping house, born KY (??)
Heinchall, Louisa, 6 months, bp AR
Conn, Malissa, 24, keeping house, bp MS
Conn, Perry, 17, working on farm, bp MS
Conn, Charles, 15, working on farm, bp MS

Do any of these families connect with yours?
My husbands' line is Through Sarah Ann Conn/Cohn and Edmond Little Jacobs.
Thank you!
