The Coghill family was from Granville County, North Carolina. Four sons of farmer James O. Coghill and his wife, Ann, served in Co. G, 23rd North Carolina Infantry. Brothers Kinchin Wesley Coghill (b. ca. 1838), Joseph W. Coghill (b. ca. 1839), and James Norphlet Coghill (b. ca. 1841) enlisted on June 11, 1861.
