Looking at maps of Pennsylvania from the early 1800's showing cities and roads Andrew Coover most likely traveled through these towns and villages:
From York PA he would have traveled a short distance north to York Haven located along the the west bank of Susquehanna river. The next town would be Cumberland which is across the river from Harrisburg on the east side. Continuing north after Cumberland would be Selinsgrove then Lewisburg. North of Lewisbugh the road crosses the Susquehanna river to the village of Pennsborough. The river and the road take a ninety degree turn to the west just north of Pennsborough. The next town west is Williamsport then Newburg then Jersey Shore. Andrew's family was recorded on the 1800 US Census at this location. (Pine Creek, Lycoming county) This is also where the Coovers met up with the Bonnell family. At least 3 of Andrews children married member's of the Bonnell family. The Coover family along with some members of the Bonnell family continued west. From Jersey Shore they could have taken two different roads. One road would have taken them through Dunnstown then Emporia to Point Alleghany, the other through Coudersport to Point Alleghany. From there they would travel through Smithport then Warren. Just west of Warren at Brokenstraw Creek two of Andrew's children George and Polly (Mead) would stay and start families. From there Andrew would go to Cherrytree township in Venango county which is just a few miles from Titusville in Crawford county.
