Coyner Springs is a hamlet in Botetourt Co., northeast of Roanoke; 
   there is also a park by that name in Waynesboro. 

The child may be entombed in Blandford Cemetery, Petersburg. 
   Find-a-Grave Mem. #177397301 states an infant was moved from the garden of 
   Charles Corling, 16 Oct 1872, to the BOLLING vault, but they suggest it 
   died during the Seige. 

Retired druggist Charles CORLING [Sr.] appeared in the 1870 Census in 
   Ward 3, Petersburg.

Her husband moved from Monroe to Jerusalem (now Courtland) in the 1840's, 
   buying an extant tavern/hotel.  Mahone's Tavern & Museum, Inc. operates 
   the site, and has considerable information on the site & the general.
