There is a Find-A-Grave entry for John Cohoe born 1775 died in 1840 Elk Lick Township, Somerset, PA buried Old Joel Hershberger Farm Cemetery.^[5] This is near Bedford. The bio gives his wife as Sarah, possibly part of the Hershberger family and his parents as John and Catherine Cohoe from Crawford county Pennsylvania.

Research Notes

He cannot be the John Coho who migrated to Little York, Hardin, Kentucky, United States.^[6] That John Coho is said to have died in 1823 in Muldraugh, Meade County, Kentucky, and this John Coho born 1770-1780 was living in Greenfield, Bedford, Pennsylvania, United States, in 1830.^[4]

Further research indicates that John Koho-14, later of Hardin, Kentucky is a son of John Cohoe resident York PA in 1781. Therefore this John, John of Bedford is not. He is then most likely the son of Daniel's son Jacob.^[7]
