Keziah Eudel Barber Cone was born about 1750 in the Pee Dee Station area of North Carolina. She was the daughter of William Nathaniel Barber and Hepzibah Loomis Barber and sister of Cassandra Barber Carter. The Barber family was said to have come to America aboard the Mayflower. About 1765 at the Pee Dee Station in North Carolina, Keziah married William Henry Cone, a farmer, landowner, and Baptist minister, who became a Revolutionary War hero known as the "Fighting Parson" (while fighting with Francis Marion, the "Swamp Fox"). Keziah and William became residents of Cheraw County, South Carolina before migrating to a part of Effingham County, Georgia that later became Bulloch County. They had nine children: Aaron Cone, Sr., Jane E. Cone, William Cone, Jr., Joseph Cone, Keziah Cone Dampier, Sarah Cone Knight, Nancy Cone Hagin, Mary Cone Lee, and Elizabeth Cone. Keziah and William resided in the Ivanhoe Voting District of Bulloch County, Georgia. Keziah died in 1810 in Bulloch County and was buried in the Old William Cone-Barber Family Cemetery adjacent to the old Barber family homestead near the Stagecoach Road on the western bank of the Ogeechee River south of Georgia Highway 119. Among her many notable descendents was a son, Aaron Cone, Sr., who was a courier during the American Revolution; a grandson, Aaron Cone, Jr., who assisted naturalist John Abbot in exploring Bulloch County; a grandson, William Haddock Cone, who was a Confederate veteran and a Florida state senator; great-grandsons, Paul Robert Cone and John Slater Cone, Confederate soldiers who died in battle; and a great-grandson, Fredrick Preston Cone, Governor of Florida from 1937 to 1942.
