Peter Humrickhouse was only a few years a resident of Coshocton county, but as the paternal ancestor of one of the most prominent families of the county, may well find brief mention here. He was born in Germantown, Pa.,
August 26, 1783. His father soon after moved to Hagerstown, Md. After the manner of his time, he learned a trade, that of carriage-maker. In 1814, he removed to Brownsville, Pa. He came to Cosbocton in 1834 and here died, August 23, 1839. He was the father of Thomas, and John, and Wm. Humrickhouse, and also of the wives of John Joseph K. and Wm. K. Johnson, of John G. Stewart, and James Irvine, all being resident in Coshocton. Mrs. Kincaid, of Greenfield, Ohio, is also his daughter.
