Notes


Jean Beck

Jean Beck had 8 children


Nicholas Kuhn

Sources conflict on date of birth:
1 Jul 1843 -- Wright
Aug 1844 -- 1900 census

Nick (John Nicolas) and Nicolas didnt get along, so Nicolas left home at an early age. (per a letter from Mrs. Theodore Spangler (Philomina Kuhn) to her cousin Matilda Kuhn Henricks dated February 13, 1952.)

In 1870, Nicholas Coon (25) owned property worth $700 in Bridgeport, Belmont County, Ohio. His personal possessions were valued at $200. Nicholas was born in Baden. Living with him were Virginia (21) and Annie (4) -- presumably his wife and daughter, although the 1870 census does not define relationships between members of the household. Nicholas' occupation was "works in ice house." He was a citizen of the United States. Both he and Virginia could read and write.

In 1880, Nicholas Kuhn (35) lived in Bridgeport, Rose Twp., Belmont County Ohio with his wife Anna (25) and children Annie (11), Katie (7), Willie (5), and Minnie (1). Only Annie attended school. Nicholas worked as an ice dealer.

Data in the 1880 census makes it clear that Anna is not Nicholas Kuhn's first wife:
1) There is only a 14 year age difference between Anna and the oldest daughter, Annie.
2) The mother of the three youinger children was born in Ohio; the birthplace of Annie's mother is unknown.
3) Annie was born in West Virginia; the other children were born in Ohio.

In 1900, the family owned a home on Bennett St. in Bridgeport. The household consisted of Nicholas Kuhn (55), his wife of 27 years, Anna (45), children John (29), Kate (26), and Minnie (21) and son-in-law Charles Hunter (28). Kate was married (although her surname is not given). It is presumed that Charles is Kate's husband. Nicholas was from Germany and Charles was born in West Virginia. Everyone else in the household was a native of Ohio. Nicholas was an ice merchant. John worked as a time-keeper at a mill (?), and Charles was a bookkeeper.
