I am also looking for information on a California CAHOON family. George W.
CAHOON (CALHOUN), b. abt. 1839 in Missouri married my ggrandmother Evelyn
Kathleen CLOUGH on November 4, 1876 in Tulare County California.
There is some confusion over their children. George H., b. about 1851 was
from a previous marriage by George W. to a woman unknown to me. David
CAHOON, b. about 1879, and James, b. abt 1884 were the children of George W.
and Evelyn. Little David is not listed on census records by the year 1900.
There is the possibility he died at a very young age.
Evelyn CLOUGH married four times. George W. CAHOON (MO), Daniel Boone
BUSBY (KS,IL) (my line), John W. MENTEER (MO) and George Joseph LONG
(unknown). It is difficult to track her children as they assumed the
surname of their stepfathers with each marriage.
You will find this intermingled family and other records including
biographies for George W. CAHOON and Evelyn BLOSSOM (her adopted name) at
the following website,
http://www.compuology.com/cagenweb/tularcty.htm.
Although this information doesn't contain the specific names you mentioned,
there is no doubt in my mind they are related in some way. I am interested
because there are half-cousins involved, but have been spending my time
trying to determine my true BUSBY lines.
Thank You

Subject: [CAHOON] Nathan? Cahoon/Wm Bert Cahoon
I am just joining your list. I have Nathan? Cahoon father of William Bert
Cahoon. "Bertie" was born Christmas Day 1879 in Dudeville or Dudellville?,
IL. He married Myrtle Syphronia Long in Carthage?, Missouri. Eventually
they came to Modesto, CA but while in Carthage, Missouri they had their
children:
John 1899
Pearl 1902
Raymond 1905
Margaret LaFay 1907
Wilma 1912
This information is from Margaret (Cahoon) Russell, Wilma (Cahoon) Johnson
and the Long family bible.
I would be really happy to connect with anyone who may know more
about this family, or about the areas they were from.
