I can identify most of the people listed in these two cemeteries. Cosby Vina and Nancy Ann Harden Cofield were my gggrandparents.
The "Very Old Cemetery" is called the Cofield-Rice Cemetery. Thomas Grisham or Grissom was son of William H. Cofield and his wife Elizabeth Moore. They are the W. H. and E.C. Cofield buried in Cofield-Rice. William H. Cofield was Cosby Vina's older brother. Both were sons of Thomas Nathan Cofield 1790 ca 1872 and his first wife Nancy Hughes. The Thomas G. listed in the Cofield-Rice with an 1873 death date is the same as Thomas Grisham (died 1876). I don't know which death date is right or why there are two tombstones.
Harmony Cemetery: Henry Cofield (full name John Henry Cofield) was son of Wesley Washington and Annie Ayres Cofield. Wesley Washington was youngest son of Cosby Vina Cofield. He and his family moved to Texas after John Henry died. Nancy Everline was
Cosby Vina's daughter who died as a child.
Robert Daucie Cofield was my father's oldest brother, son of Millard Franklin, grandson of Cosby Grissom and a great-grandson of Cosby
Vina. Ida Lee Lovvorn was Uncle Daucie's wife.
I don't know who Jack, Frazer, adn Iverson Cofield are yet.
Delia and Uriah M.: Uriah (Buddy) Cofield was son of James 1822-1908 and Sarah Kidd Cofield. James was another son of Thomas Nathan and brother of Cosby Vina and William H. Delia Whitley was Uriah's wife. James and Sarah Kidd are also buried at Harmony.
E.A.M. Cofield is Eliza Ann Cofield, oldest, unmarried daughter of Cosby Vina.
William E. was oldest son of Cosby Vina. He married twice, first Malinda Talitha Murphy, secondly Mary Ann Kanady. His children buried at Harmony were:
Ada Butler (by Kanady) child
Ellen (by Murphy) child
Alzana (by Murphy) child
Delana (by Kanady) child
William Monroe (by Murphy) (unmarried, adult son)
Carrie Eleanor (by Kanady) (unmarried, adult daughter)
James E. Cofield is James Elbeny Cofield, son of William H. Cofield. E.C. Cofield is his wife, Emily California McDonald Cofield
Lebertha is James Elbeny's daughter. Fred Harrison Cofield is James Elbeny's son. G.M. Cofield is actually George Newton Cofield, another son of James Elbeny. Nellie D. Cofield is Fred Harrison's daughter.
Avie and Ela, "daughters of Jim and Eddie Cofield", are children of James Monroe Cofield and his wife Eddie Core Lee Miles. James Monroe was son of William Cosby Cofield, son of William H. Cofield
Mary A. Williams Cofield is a puzzle. She may be Mary Emma Ann Williams, wife of William Cosby Cofield, but the dates I have for her, 1854 - 1923) are different from the ones on the tombstone.
I can supply more information on descendants of many of these people and would love to have any additional information any one can share. David Cofield
