About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The Koonce Family Cemetery is on a grass and tree covered rise, along a growth of trees and plowed fields just south of CR 134 after turning off 95-just north of Columbia but in the edge of Henry County. It sets far off the road and on private land of the Kirkland family who should be contacted before attempting to visit.

According to Mrs. Marvin Scott's book on Henry County, John and Mary (Fordham) Koonce came to this part of Alabama about or just before Henry County's creation in 1819. No one knows where these old pioneers rest but the present owner of this farmland containing the cemetery said that there once was several markers here and a large cemetery, now only one marked grave remains among moss covered stones. Time and thieves have taken their toll.

A John Koonce had grants for land that now fall into Houston County but also in Sections 9, 4 and 15 in the edge of Henry County by 1831 and 1832. Son John F. Koonce (1801-1859) married in Columbia, Alabama 9 Aug. 1829 to Susan Smith Cawthon (1810-1879), daughter of William T. Cawthon. They are buried in the Koonce Family Cemetery of Early County, GA.
