I am the great-great grandaughter of Clopton Koonce, My grandmother, is his daughter, Pearl Doreen Koonce. All I know is that my Grandmother came from Flordia, with her husband, Robert E. Lee. She did have a brother Henry, whom my Father carries his middle name. I dont know a whole lot , because my Father was only 10yrs old when his mother Pearl died in 1942. she was 52. She is buried here in Pennsylvania. I would love to know more.

Henry Koonce is my Great Great Grandfather. My grandfather, Amos Sanders was the son of his daughter Plassie. My mother was raised by her grandmother and we have a large portrait of Henry hanging in our home. From What we understand or thought he and his brother came from Columbus, Ga. and settled in Jackson county. My family still owns and farms that land. Sidney was my great grandmother’s brother and my mother remembers him well.

Earl Henderson, the grandson of Jake Hughes, left a comment on your blog. I would like for him to email me at wkatrena@ymail.com to see if there is any connections with my Koonce family line. I also would like to know if he knows Henry Sanders of Jackson, County, FL?

Please do forward the picture of Sidney that you have, it would be greatly appreciated and thank you very much.

Do you stil have the picture of Sidney, if so, I would like to see a picture of him. I believe that Sidney’s father, Henry, and my great, great grandfather, Clopton were brothers,

I am the grandson of Jake Hughes, who married a Lucile Koonce, both of whom lived in Cottonwood, Alabama. Her father was Henry Koonce. She had a brother named Sidney, who moved to New Jersey later in life. I met Sidney at a family reunion in Newark, NJ, and I have a family photograph showing him with members of the family.

I cannot be sure this is the same Henry Koonce, but I would be willing to explore this connection to determine if this is a family link.
