William Cahoon may have been related to Joseph Cahoon, who was under guardianship of Caleb Lumbert and Joseph King in 1681, and was doubtless a brother of James Cahoon who was a soldier 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 widow 10 Jul 1702. (p. 149: He drowned with Jonathan Vickery on 30 Apr 1702.)
