Notes |
- I have not been able to find any Joshua Kuhn or Kuhns living with his parents before the 1900 census. In the 1900 census, he is listed as Joshua Kuhn. He was born in Ohio and his parents and his wife's parents were born in Germany.s a carpenter by trade. His wife and children's birthdates are listed on it. They had a boarder, age 32, name Jonas Kuhn, who was born in Ohio and could easily have been a relative. In 1910, he, his wife, Ida, and daughters Amber, Naomi, Nina and May lived in the household again under the name Kuhn. He was listed as a slater (roofer) by trade. They owned their home in Tuscarawas, Choshocton, Ohio.
Joshua Kuhn is living with his daughter as a widowed man in the 1920 census for Tuscarawas, Coshocton Co., OH. He was living with his daughter Ida May, age 13, b. Ohio. It lists him as being born in Ohio and his parents being born in Germany. He was a teamster by trade. He is not the J.F. Kuhns in the 1930 census for New Philadelphia, Tuscarawas Co., Ohio. He is age 64. His wife, Ida, is age 65. They were married when he was 21 and she was 22. They and their parents were born in Ohio. He was a lawyer and a general practitioner at the time. That J.F. Kuhns was a lawyer in the city directories for Tuscarawas County, Ohio from 1917-1930. He is however, definitely the Joshua Kuhn in the 1940 census in Tuscarawas, Coshocton Co, OH. His daughter Mae was living with him, age 32, grand-daughter, Virginia Hall, age 14, grandson, Homer Hall, age 20, and grandson, Charles A. Hall, age 17. He is listed at age 76. They were all born in Ohio. He lived in Coshocton, Ohio in 1935 according to this census.
I believe the following record could belong to him. A J. Kuhn is listed as a cabinet maker who entered out country through New York City on Jun 3, 1891. He was German and a cabinet maker by trade. His destination was Cleveland, Ohio. He had 3 bags of luggage whereas others usually brought 1 bag. He came on the ship Westernland. He departed through Antwerp, Belgium in what would have been the year before he married and would account for why we can't find him in pre 1900 census records. His profession was that of cabinet maker. He was age 27. His profession is similar to his profession in the 1900 census suggesting this immigration record belongs to him. He was not traveling with any other family members that can be ascertained.
