Author: Edward E. Baptist Members of the Cone family, for example, lived in Martin, Tyrrell, and Beaufort Counties in North Carolina during much of the eighteenth century. William Cone, from Beaufort County, married Keziah Barber during the 1760s. They moved to Anson County, on the frontier of white settlement. After returning to Beaufort around 1780, perhaps because of the disturbances of Tory- Patriot conflict in the backcountry, they relocated to Chesterfield County, across the South Carolina border. There, in a planter-dominated parish close to the Tidewater rice swamps, Keziah gave birth to their last daughter, Nancy. By 1800, they had moved on again, to Bulloch County, Georgia, where Nancy married another expatriate Carolinian named John Hagan in 1801. After the birth of one daughter, the young couple moved with other Cones and Hagans to the coastal Georgia County of Camden. There, Nancy bore at least six more children before her husband died.
