This profile is part of the Koonce Name Study.

William Barfield Koonce was born on March 15, 1886 in Fort Barnwell, North Carolina, United States, son of Caroline Koonce (~1851–1928). In most documents, and by family accounts, he went by the name of Barfield.

In 1900, Barfield was living in household of James Koonce (60) in Township 3, Craven County, North Carolina. [1]

Barfield (age 17) married Josephine Holloway (age 18) (born on June 10, 1884 in Craven County; daughter of Thomas Holloway and Polly (Hood) Holloway) on April 18, 1903 in Craven.[2] Their son was William Junius Koonce (1929–1976).

In 1910, Barfield was living in Cove, Craven. [3]

Barfield registered for the draft for World War I. [4]

In 1920, Barfield was living in Craven. [5]

In 1930, Barfield was living in household of Sidney Hill (48) in Township 3, Craven. [6]

In 1950, Barfield was living in household of Bessie Hyman (56) in New Bern, Craven. At the time, he was a logger working in the log woods, an extremely physical job that certainly must have been quite dangerous. [7]

Barfield died on April 10, 1953 in Craven, aged 67. He was buried in Mitchell Family Cemetery, Craven County, North Carolina.[8] [9]
