WOW- Where do I begin...LOL My lineage stops with John Caho/Jane Powers in Henderson KY
and I can't seem to find anything further either. I keep in contact regularly with
other bands of Caho's and one Cahoe, not related, trying to piece it all together. I
am searching my computer trying to find what I think is the answer or connection to all of
this. I'm sorry to say that I seem to be either hot or cold on genealogy and it is
very frustrating because it's hard to get back to where you were when you start again.
I have my family and others, in GED Family History files if that will help you also.
It's very exciting to come in contact with you because I think our name may actually
be Cahoe and was changed or the e dropped somewhere.
I found this which is a little more current and explains the same thing. Me and my good
intentions....This was supposed to go on a website. Before you read this, let me sum up
what is interesting about what you have indicated in your family line-
1. SICKNESS- Either Yellow Fever or Typhoid struck in the earliest ancestor I have also-
John Caho and Jane Powers. It caused to family to move in many directions and is one
reason why my Great Grandfather came to Illinois. What is ODD on our end is that my Great
Grandfather WOULD NEVER SPEAK about his own family. He was raised by an aunt possibly and
used as labor up until 16. This sickness caused his 2 sisters to.....
2. MOVING- another family at age a late age (around 19. That gave me curious) I don't
have all my family records here but I believe that the family name they went with was
BASKETT. I decided to track that family thinking they must have been relatives or friends
and it lead me upriver of Henderson, KY to the area directly across from Louisville KY. If
I remember right, it was Shelby CTY in particular. In this county and around including the
Louisville area.......
3. YOUR NAME SPELLING.....you will find the name CAHO and CAHOE in the same areas. In
fact I was recently in contact with a gentleman in Louisville with the last name of CAHOE
and he was searching as well because his family line ended on him in this time frame. Now,
if you look at my information below, you'll find the info about current bands of
Caho's and you will also find that THE BROTHER THAT I THINK CAME WEST AND STARTED ALL
OF THIS HAS THE COMMON NAME IN YOUR LINE OF HENRY. HENRY is not in my family BUT IS A VERY
COMMON NAME IN THE CAHO FAMILY IN THE MISSOURI AREA.
That's where it ends right now. It appears to me that the brother I feel who came out
here from the Maryland Area- HENRY CAHO- had children and families in the Louisville,
Shelby Cty areas and this is most likely where MY FAMILY ROOTS CAME FROM AS WELL AS THE
MISSOURI CAHO's. You mention sickness in your line as well and it I am sure it
probably caused changes in last names, who they went with, etc. Anyway- I think the ANSWER
TO CONNECTING THE CAHO's IN MARYLAND, MISSOURI and ILLINOIS lie in the Shelby Cty and
Louisville area and probably yours does too. Everyone mispronounces my name and when you
put an E on the end, there is no mistaking how it should be pronounced. It seems to be
that it should be that way anyway.
In any event, I'll let you digest this. I can put you in contact with others if you
need to. I will also send you another email with the Caho genealogy in Missouri where you
can see the Henry name connection. Please let me know how I can be of any help and if any
of this may make sense to you.
Thanks

The Quest for CAHO/Cahoe Family Roots
Years of research have been spent by many CAHO relatives, trying to unlock the
secret of their ancestors past. Three separate "clans" exist in Illinois,
Missouri and Maryland. Each has been stopped in either connecting the clans or even
furthering their own family. In my own case, our family stopped at John & Jane Powers
in the 1860's in Henderson Kentucky.
The trail involves many variations of the name such as:
CAHO CAHOE KAHO KAHOE CAHILL KAO CAO Etc.
As of April 2005 I feel that I have identified the original 4 brother's names that
came here in the 1700's. Up until now, only one of the brother's names was
actually known. That is why the other three branches continually hit a dead end. It will
be most beneficial if a person trying to solve this, would begin forward from this
assumption and trace outward from there in hopes of connecting them to your own families.
The assumption is based upon a letter provided by John Fitchett, that was written in 1893
by a relative and contained information regarding 4 Caho brothers family history. Start at
the link on the left that has a copy of this and also explains how I came about
determining the other brothers names.
In this letter, the only family known is from one brother's marriage- John Caho and
Lydia Bryson. They settled in the Maryland area and you will find good histories regarding
this family. The time period of this would be mid 1700's. Here is what I feel are all
of the other brothers names who came together to settle here either from Ireland or
Scotland-
1. John Caho and Lydia Bryson settled in the Virginia/Maryland area
2. Ignatius Caho stayed in the same area
One reference again on a Family Tree CD 310
"Caho, Ignatius 1607-1789 MD Census CD 310"
3. Thomas Caho went north to New York.
"Caho, Thomas 1607-1789 MD Census CD 310"
"Caho, Thomas 1939-1916 NY Marriage CD 401"
4. Henry Caho went west.
"Caho, Henry 1728-1850 KY NC TN VA WV Marriage CD 229"
I also have a link to maps of the particular counties where the families exist today or in
the past. This particular map was created in the 1860's. I will add others when
possible.
I am hoping that as you search for your own roots using this information, it will lead to
the eventual uniting of all of the four brothers families currently here in the USA. It
also looks as if there is a very good possibility that the present Cahoe's in the
Louisville area probably are connected also.
Please let me know any new information you may have regarding this either by posting it on
the Yahoo group below or email me at cahoca2@msn.com<mailto:cahoca2@msn.com>. I have
also been able to accumulate the family history of the CAHO ( and related names )
histories in each area as well census, marriage and death records. I have kept information
on the primarily the CAHO/CAHOE name as well as some KAHOE and KAHO. Some is displayed on
the other website. The rest will get posted when time permits. If it can be of help to you
please let me know.
Because this is a new website, it is still under construction. Here are other sources
available that will give you actual family tree information as well as a YAHOO group for
discussion:
YAHOO Group name is cahoname at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cahoname/<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/...
Anyone can join this and will be informed of whatever the other members post regarding any
of the various name spellings
http://members.fortunecity.com/cahoca/<http://members.fortunecity.com/...
This website has been up for some time and contains a great deal of information. It needs
updating but can also be very helpful in finding information.
Over the years I have been in contact with the individuals in those clans who were also
seeking out their ancestry and we have shared information among each of us. I have been
able to accumulate the family history of the CAHO histories in each area and also have
collected every census, marriage and death records. I have kept information on the
primarily the CAHO/CAHOE name as well as some KAHOE and KAHO.

Please forgive me because I do not know as much as would love too. I guess I
will start from current and go back.
Theresa Cahoe--myself
Francis Cahoe--my father
Charles Henry Cahoe--my grandfather -- died 1969
Joseph Cahoe--great grandfather -- died 1943 I believe
Gonza Cahoe--great great grandfather -- died around 1920
You see I do not know much because that is where it ends with Gonza. It
shows on census that he was raised by a Hillary Cambron. Also on his death
certificate it shows Hillary Cambron as father and a Miss Mc Pherson as his
mother. I do not understand this at all and any help you could provide will
be so appreciated. I should also include that all were born in Kentucky
except for myself. I asked our local librarian what could have happened here
and she stated that at that time many of children had to be placed with
other families because of diseases. Again thank you for your help and any
direction you may offer. Look forward to hearing from you.
