| Origins of the Cohee surname | |
|---|---|
| Theory | My Analysis |
|
Orange Irish from
northern Ireland | The Whitesides are listed in early census records as being Orange Irish and from Killead Parish, Antrim, Ireland. I believe that story is from their side of the family. |
|
Hart’s Irish Pedigree
Derived from Coen | The passage from John O'Hart's Irish Pedigrees mentions Coen and Cohen, not Cohee, on page 380/381. I remain skeptical. |
|
Tuckahoe / Cohee Sign
Sky Line Drive, VA | This is also in the Wiki. I don't know what to make of this. |
| French, English, or German Origin | I'm trying to find some English roots, but have few leads. I believe there are some emigration records for Cohees from England. |
|
Lord Baltimore combined
Cooke and Heenan | Supposedly supported by the will of Benedict Brice that mentions James Cohee. However, Benedict's daughter Mary Brice was married to James Cooke, not Cohee. |
|
Govesy hijacked the
Cohee surname | He couldn't read or write apparently, but his sons clearly considered themselves to be Cohees. The 1840 census shows him as Gove Coey. |
