Philip & Martha Koonce
Do you know any additional info on birth and death dates for Philip and Martha Koonce ?
Dates are needed to go on a tombstone for Philip H. Koonce and his wife Martha Izelia Jacobs Koonce who are buried at Beckom Cemetery near Hornbeck, La.Philip was a son of Amander & Rebecca Byas Koonce who was 2nd wife of Amander.
The familyhistory.org website has year they were born, but not the day. Also, there are errors sometimes, so I need more info to be sure.
I mailed a letter to the Louisiana state Vital Records office requesting copies of their death certificates, but have not received an answer yet.The certificates generally have a space for the birth and death dates, but sometimes they just were not filled out, or were not put on record.
"Amander Koonce married (2nd) his sister-in-law, Mrs. Rebecca (Byas) Leatherman 19 July 1855 in Bienville Parish, Louisiana. Amander and Rebecca had two sons.
Philip H. Koonce born 1856 in Bienville Parish and died 1 January 1929, married Martha Izelia Jacobs. She was born October 1846 and died 8 July 1929. They are both buried at Beckcom Cemetery, Hornbeck, La. They had seven children. It is recorded in the courthouse in Arcadia, La., that Philip H. Koonce purchased land from Samuel Vance 17 February 1887 for four (4) bales of cotton.
George W. Koonce was born 1858, married 19 September 1874 to Sarah Jane Jacobs. George W. Koonce and his descendants moved to Jackson Parish, Louisiana. There are still Koonce's living there.
Rebecca (Byas-Leatherman) Koonce died sometime in the 1860's, we have no definite date, nor do we know where she was buried. Amander Koonce died 1895 and is buried in an unmarked grave in Old Castor Cemetery."
