Early Cohoes in Pennsylvania and other U.S. States

by Joan Moore, revised, October 2023, with added records for Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and John Koho-14 married in York PA. Records reordered by location.

It is well known that Daniel Cohoe emigrated from Ireland to America in about 1740, and married Mary Cutter. The family records show 4 children, John, Jacob, Sarah and Andrew (referred to in the family as Ambrose). The descendants of Andrew are well documented. Perhaps because Andrew (who was not Quaker at the time) married Deborah Heacock, a Quaker. Sarah's children will be hard to find. If she married and had children, her married name is not known at this time.

My purpose is to find more grandchildren of Daniel, in particular children of John and Jacob Cohoe starting in Pennsylvania using records. There is no indication that either John or Jacob were at any time Quaker. But first the records that have been gathered. The records also include Virginia and Maryland where there is a record for a Cahoe as early as 1713, a few decades before Daniel arrived. Being that Daniel was Irish, and his birth name was NOT Cohoe, these earlier Cohoes are unlikely to be related.

Because the 1700's were not a time of high literacy, much less consistent spelling a wide net of spelling variations was considered. Using family search I checked for Cohoe, and variations in Europe between about 1680 and 1750. France had 400 Coho and 60 Caho. On wikitree the name appears in immigrants to Louisiana. Otherwise each variation I tried, had only single digits: in England, e g, 4 for Cohoe in the early 1700's. There were only 2 Cohoe in Ireland and they weren't until 1825. Where possible the names given in the records below, reflect the spelling in the hand written image.

Records

Records are grouped by location, to look for possible relationships. The records are from census records; items in wikitree that are ,or at least look like they are, backed by records; and using familysearch (records, not tree).

Analysis

The 3 earliest (male) records are for

Virginia, 1713, Alexander Cahoe, Westmoreland Co.
Maryland, 1733, James Cohoe, Charles Co.
Pennsylvania, 1750, Daniel Cohoe, Philadelphia Co.

Since Westmoreland Co. Virginia is just across the Potomac River from Charles Co. Maryland, Alexander and James are likely to be related.

Daniel Cohoe and Descendents

Daniel Cohoe, on wikitree Daniel Cohoe-40. One known Pennsylvania record: an 1750 land warrant for 250 acres in Philadelphia Co. A second record, the forced emigration of Daniel Keoghoe from Ireland in 1741, is consistent with the family history that has come down through the generations. Estimated birth 1720 or earlier.

With Daniel marrying in say the early 1740, his children would be born in the 1740's and 50's. His grandchildren would then be born in the 1760's or later, and are unlikely to appear as adults before the mid-1780's. There are then 4 candidates in the Pennsylvania records above for Daniel's possible children.

  • son Andrew Cohoe-4 in Bucks County, 1775, 1781-1784, land and tax records. Andrew and all his children are known from 'Ancestry' by Andrew's son John Cohoe-8. John also gave the names of the spouses of those who married, and the fate of those who didn't. Andrew emigrated to Canada with his family in 1787. Only son Asa returned to Pennsylvania and is in the records there, as is his wife.
    • g-son Asa Cohoe. Resident Catawissa, Pennsylvania, 1810 census age 26-45.
      • wife of g-son Keziah (Lee) Cohoe/Coho, Resident Catawissa, Pennsylvania,, 1830 census, age 40-50.
  • son John Cohoe-78/Koho in York County, 1781-2, military service and birth of daughter. Known son of Daniel from 'Ancestry' by Andrew's son John Cohoe-8. Others known to have been in York:
    • g-son John Koho married York, Pennsylvania abt 1788. -> Est. birth before 1768 based on marriage.
    • g-dau. Margaret Coho/Koho Christened York, Pennsylvania 1781. Daughter of John and Catherine.
  • son Jacob Cohoe-71/Koho in Northampton County, over 45 in 1800 census.Birth before 1755. Known son of Daniel from 'Ancestry' by Andrew's son John Cohoe-8. Also in Northampton:
    • g-son Mitttius Cohoe/Coho. Resident Upper Milford, Northampton, Pennsylvania in 1810 age 16-26. He might be the son of Jacob age 16-26 in the 1800 census. -> born 1784.
      • gg-son John Cohoe/Coho. Resident Toamensing, Northampton, Pennsylvania, 1820 census age 16-26, birth 1794-1804. Not a son of Jacob, probable son of Mittius age 0-10 in 1810 census, therefore b 1800-1804.
    • g-son John Coho in the census records 1800-1830 for Bedford. b 1775. He is not the son of John, since John has a different son who married in York. Probable son of Jacob, out of the nest in 1800.
  • ? son William Caho in Philadelphia, Co., daughter born 1783. NOT mentioned in 'Ancestry' by Andrew's son John Cohoe-8. The record we have places him in Philadelphia, where Daniel was located. He may be an unknown son or Daniel, an unrelated immigrant since Philadelphia was a port of entry, or he might be connected to the Maryland/Virginia Cahos.

Early Analysis of John Coho of Bedford

John Coho in the census for Bedford, Pennsylvania from 1800 thru 1830. Before information on John Koho, (of Kentucky in 1810, 1820) surfaced to link him to York, Pennsylvania, John Coho of Bedford was considered the son of John Cohoe. The link between them being the unconfirmed (2012 ancestry-tree) death of John Cohoe of York about 1811 in Fredericksburg, Blair County (just north of Bedford), Pennsylvania.

There is a Matthias Caho born 1800-1802, Maryland, living in Woodbury Township, Blair, Pennsylvania, in 1850 (10 children) (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M442-5YY)
