Joel Cahoon came to Cleveland, Ohio, as early as 1810, with his parents, Joseph and Lydia Cahoon, and settled on the farm where our subjects mother now resides. Joseph Cahoon was the first settler of the township. There were but four houses in Cleveland at that time. Joel Cahoon was a farmer by occupation and at an early day was also engaged in contracting. During the War of 1812 he went to the front as a soldier and rendered most valiant service. In his family were eleven children, seven of whom - three sons and four daughters - are still living. There names are as follows: T.H., the subject of our sketch; John J., an engieneer of Memphis, Tennessee; Lydia, a teacher; D.K., deceased; Charles O.; Laura E., a teacher; Martha W.; Leverette J., deceased; J. Marshall, who is extensively engaged in grape culture on the home farm in Dover; Mary Emma, deceased; and Ida M., a teacher. Mr. Cahoon was married, March 27, 1860, on the Miami River, near Cincinnati, Ohio, to Miss Elizabeth Hughes, daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Hughes. Her grandfather Hughes came with Governor Bebb from Wales to this country, and it is recorded of him that he bought the first tract of land west of the Miami River. Richard Hughes was born in 1808, was married January 21, 1830, and died August 25, 1850. His wife was born in Pennsylvania in 1807 and emigrated to Ohio with her parents, John Elder and his wife, in 1815, and died September 6, 1870. She was a most estimable woman and a devoted Christian.
