"William Cahoon may have been related to Joseph Cahoon, who was under guardianship of Caleb Lumbert and Joseph Kent in 1681, and was doubtless a brouther of James Cahoon, who was a solider under Capt. John Gorham in 1690 in the expedition to Canada. He married Elizabeth, daughter of William and Mercy (Williams) Nickerson, not long after 1690. ... Administration was granted to his wife July 10, 1702."
