• Census: 1850, Plain Township, Franklin County, Ohio, USA
• Census: 1860, Hale Township, Hardin County, Ohio, USA
• Census: 1870, Pleasant Township, Hardin County, Ohio, USA

Notes:

Amos Kohn's family Bible lists a son named George, born on January 22, 1824, which is about a month earlier than the birthday implied in George Kohn's death record, which states that he was 47 years, 11 months, and 2 days old.

George Kohn was a member of the First Methodist Church, Kenton, Ohio, having been transferred by letter on 24 Sept 1865. He died of "lung fever." Both the 1860 and 1870 censuses for Hardin County, Ohio, give his birthplace as Virginia, but his death record gives his birthplace as what appears to be "Fairfield". The entry in the 1860 census of Hardin County, Ohio, includes George Coon (age 35, born Virginia), Hannah Coon (age 27, born Ohio), John Coon (age 6, born Ohio), Sally Coon (age 7, born Ohio), and Rachel Coon (age 2, born Ohio). The 1870 census of Pleasant Township, Hardin County, Ohio, records the family as follows: John (sic) Kohn (age 45, born Virginia), Hannah Kohn (age 38, born Ohio), Rachel Kohn (age 10, born Ohio), William Kohn (age 8, born Ohio), Nancy Kohn (age 4, born Ohio), and Eliza Kohn (age 4, born Ohio). George's son, John David Kohn, was living with the nearby family of John Whitmore. George's mother may have been named Mary. There was a Mary Koons living with the Curtis Wilkin family in Pleasant Township, Hardin County, Ohio, at the time of the 1870 census. She was 74 years old, and her birthplace is recorded as Virginia.

A George Khon (sic), age 38, born in Virginia, registered for the draft in 1862 in Boles Creek (Bokescreek) Township, Logan County, Ohio, just south of the Hardin County line.

The administrator of George Kohn's estate was John Wall. The last name is spelled Cone on the inventory, which included the following:
one cookstove - $5.00
cooking utensils - $20.00
bed and bedding (no value stated)
household goods - $10.00
2 pigs - $2.50
patch of wheat - $9.60
George owed the following amounts:
George Woods - $4.25
J.J. Ripley - $14.56
Samuel Hawk - $3.12
Jacob Woods - $8.55
He was reported to owe $175 in total and left "no personal estate". His land was sold and was identified as the northeast quarter of section 5, township 4, range 11, in the center of the Findlay Road. Named as heirs were his widow, Hannah, and children John, Rachel, William, Nancy, and Elisa. W.T. Cessna was appointed guardian, presumably of his minor children. The last name is spelled Kolen in the newspaper notice.

The land was in McGillivray Township, Lot 23, Concession 9, and was purchased on 17 Dec 1842.

Around 1881, the James Cotter family moved to Illinois, settling near Claremont in Richland County. James Cotter purchased land from Robert B. and Ellen Patrick in Richland County, on 27 November 1882. The property is described in the deed as the northwest fourth of the southeast quarter of Section 26, township 4, North Range (numbered 14 west), "containing 40 acres, more or less." The property was sold by his heirs to Mary Cotter Melrose, James's daughter, for $800 on 28 November 1902, following the death of James's second wife in August 1902. James is buried in Ferncliff Cemetery, Springfield, Ohio, in Lot 242 of Section L. This plot was purchased by Ann Cotter on 18 April 1899.
