I'm looking for more info on my ancestor Russell or Russel Cahoon who was born in RI
about 1780. I do not know his parents or birthplace. He later moved to Pennsylvania
(possibly Luzerne Co), where I believe he married Submitta or Submitty Travis (or
Traverse) (b. about 1805 in NY) around 1823. They had children (all born PA): Eliab
Gilbert Cahoon (b. 1824, m. Maria Ann Gold), Ellen Cahoon (m. Aaron Gold), James Cahoon
and Alexander Cahoon. Russell Cahoon died April 3, 1851 in Bushkill Twp, Northampton Co,
PA. In his estate documents it also mentions John Cahoon, Edward Cahoon and Calvin
Cahoon, all of unknown relationship to Russell. Since he was so much older than his wife,
it is possible these were children from a first marriage, but that is just my guess. Could
also be brothers or nephews.
Eliab (or Eliub) Gilbert Cahoon and Maria Ann Gold had three children: Angeline Cahoon (m.
Dan Brenneman), Elvina Cahoon (m. George Kramer) and Thomas Henry Cahoon (m. Salome
Elisabeth Barmore). Any help is appreciated!
