They had four children: Icie Cokonougher, Jerry Cokonougher b. abt. 1878, Etta Mae Cokonougher b. 20 Feb. 1883, and Harley Elwood Cokonougher b.10 July 1886. John moved to Ross County, Ohio in the 1870s, to Paulding County, Ohio, in the early 1900s, and then to Montgomery County, Kansas and possibly Michigan.

Most of this information came from the family Bible of Mary Elizabeth (Wisecup) Cokonougher, oral history told to me by my father Howard Wm. Cokonougher, and research by Ena (Cokonougher) Mulford. The picture of John E. Cokonougher was gifted to me by Ena (Cokonougher) Mulford. More about John Cokonougher and the Cokonougher family can be found in the book "The Genealogy Of The Family Of Ralph William Cokonougher" by Ralph W. Cokonougher, available on Amazon.com.
