• Notes

  ALEXANDER COHICK was born in Anthony township, Lycoming county, Pennsylvania, in 1814, and was a son of John Cohick, a native of England, who came Lycoming county about the beginning of the present century, and entered a tract of land in Lycoming township, containing some 400 acres. John Cohick was a shoemaker by trade, and died on his farm, which he had cleared and improved, in 1819. He married Elizabeth Carpenter, who survived him many years. Their children were as follows: John; George; Andrew; Alexander; William; Samuel; James; Daniel; Mary, who married Benjamin Shook, and Nancy, all of whom are dead except the last mentioned. The subject of this sketch received a very limited education, and learned the blacksmith trade, which he followed for ten years in Anthony township; he then began farming in the same township, and subsequently located on a farm in Woodward township, where he resided up to his death, in April, 1892. He married Sarah A., daughter of William Moffett, who bore him the following children: George A.; Jane, wife of George Kurtz; Matilda, deceased wife of John Potter; William; Elizabeth, wife of Edward Courson; Annie, wife of Samuel Seitzer, and Wellman. Mr. Cohick was a Republican, and both he and wife were members of the Christian church. His widow survives him. [1]
