But I may have missed one or two. The Bulah in the above is a different from the Beulah Coggin who married Wm Rufus Hardy. Beulah who married Wm Hardy was the daughter of Daniel "Josephus" C. Coggin & Rebecca Jackson. More confusion then help?? Valerie P. S. -- It sure would be nice to get County Line Cem on-line. . . It keeps haunting me!
