John Bryant, son of John G., are my great grandfather and great great grandfather. My mother (Harriette Lucille Cofield) passed away and left me with a lot of paperwork to put together. I am trying to put things back together and am also getting help through Pat Cook Johnson. She and my mother corresponded back in 1986. As soon as I have some additional info back in its place, will be back in touch.

Yes, I do remember Mrs. Deal. I knew her given name didn't ring a bell but her married name I do remember. There were several sisters in GA that I wrote to, as well as one in Gainesville, FL and then one in Texas. She had more information after the family went into Texas and, in particular,
my friend's father's line (William Madison COFIELD). It would be really nice to meet and see what other information can be found. We found that Bob (my friend and your cousin) had much in common with James Bryantl
Take care & let me know how it goes.

I would like that. Perhaps by that time I will have put everything together and you can add what I may not have. Did you remember my mother? I know I said Harriette Cofield, but you corresponded with her as Mrs. Deal. I do keep in touch with my cousins, some of those actually are in Hawkinsville, but they don't have as much as I do. My cousin in Jax FL put together a lot of info. which I have, but doesn't include the info you provided my mother.

This is not my family but that of a friend and I sent most of my research to family members about 2 years ago. John Bryant was born on 3 Sept 1841 in Georgia and married Hariet Melissa TAYLOR on 18 July 1867. I have that he died in 1916. My friend is descended from John's brother, William Madison. The records I have show Eleanor G. WHITE was born 29 Feb 1822 in N.C. I believe this may have been taken from her headstone and she died in Sept 1860, Houston Co., GA. I have the birthdate of 30 Dec 1813 for John G. in Georgia and that he was the son of John COFIELD born ca 1764 in N.C. and died after 13 Oct. 1850 in Houston Co. He was married to Frances GRAY. I remember several sources believed that Eleanor's middle name was Gray and that she and John were somehow related, cousins? I have never been able to verify either item. In pencil (not proven) I have her father as possibly Thomas of Edgecombe Co, N.C. and her mother listed as "Elanor". I was told John (wife Fra!
nces Gray) was probably a son or otherwise related to John Calvin but again have never been able to find proof or anything in writing. Unfortunately this is all I have but would appreciate letting me know of any other information you might have on Eleanor White and the others. I will gladly share whatever I find and as soon as I can, will start looking again for this family.

John G. and Eleanor married 1839, I have Houston Cty GA for John and Mineola TX for her. He was son of John (?) Cofield who was of Scottish parents who was born 1766, died 1859 Haynesville, Houston Cty GA and married 1800 to Frances Gray. My mother (Harriette Cofield) recently passed away and I have been trying to put things back together concerning her history. Her father was Carl Thomas Cofield b. 1878 and son of John Bryant Cofield b. 1884. Probably will find more info. Do you have anything you can help me with? I have been trying to find out about John Calvin Cofield and if there is any relation to this Cofield family.

Coming across old info which shows John G. Cofield b 1813 married to Eleanor G. White b 1822, son William Madison Cofield b 1844 and deceased 1931 TX. I don't have in front of me this evening my book, but my mother was a Cofield, born to Carl and Susie Cofield in GA (Harriette Cofield). Believe connection?
