Mary Tidwell and Nathaniel Tracy
lived in Kentucky by Isaac and Barsheba Coonfield for many years and truly could
have been the parents of Barsheba, and they also miugrated with the Coonfields and Clarks to Indiana in 1824.
Rev. War Veteran - Served under
Col Sumpter-Eutaw
born Tracy's Landing, Anne Arundel, Maryland
Isaac was found on the 1800 tax list and could have been 40 years
old. They certainly named their children after those in the Tracy family
and mostly all moved to Indiana around 1821.
For some reason many
migrated into Indiana and then to Arkansas.
Some of the Coonfield daughters
married Clarks and they are all mentioned in some of the Indiana history
books. Most served in the Civil Was. Benjamin Wylie Coonfield
married a Martha Frances Young, of the Kentucky family who may have joined their
wagon train to Indiana, She named her son Benjamin Wallace and called him
Wally. In Arkansas Wally met and married Lattie Little, then had my granny
Luella.
There is much speculation as to
whether or not the Coonfields came from Holland or were they Kuhnfeldts from
Germany. When I researched the 1790 census there were several in the New
York area named Coonfield.

Notes for CHRISTOPHER CONFELD:
CHRISTOPHER CONFELD ARRIVED IN
AMERICA SEPTEMBER 9, 1738, ON THE SHIP GLASGOW FROM HOLLAND AND ENGLAND. SINCE
YOUNG MEN OFTEN SAILED TO AMERICA AT A VERY YOUNG AGE, CHRISTOPHER COULD HAVE
BEEN BORN ANYWHERE BETWEEN 1718-1723. (MOST OF THE KNOWN COONFIELDS CLAIM TO BE
PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH, WHICH MEANS THEIR DUTCH, ENGLISH, AND GERMAN ANCESTORS
SETTLED IN PENNSYLVANIA.)
: IN ALL PROBABILITY THE ROBERT
CONFILDT IN THE 1800 PENNSYLVANIA CENSUS IS A SON OF CHRISTOPHER, WHO COULD BE
THE "OVER FIFTY" MAN LIVING IN ROBERT'S HOME AT THE TIME. SINCE JACOB CONFAIR
AND JOHN COONFIELD HAVE THE SAME BIRTH YEAR (1775), AND TWINS RUN IN THE FAMILY,
THEY COULD VERY WELL BE THE TWIN SONS OF ROBERT. I ALSO BELIEVE ISAAC (1780) IS
A SON OF ROBERT. MARTIN COULD BE EITHER THE SON OF ISAAC OR ONE OF THE TWINS, AS
HIS BIRTHYEAR IS 1800. SOME OF ISAAC'S CHILDREN ARE : MARTIN (1800?), SUSANNAH
(1803?), JAMES (1806), ISAAC (1808), MILLICENT (1813) AND LANARAH
(1811).

Anyways, when my grandpa was out
looking for work, he married Luella Ellen Coonfield about 1913. They had
two sets of twins as many other Coonfield families did. Some Coonfields
migrated into Oklahoma's Indian Nation.
