Transcription of a Peace Family Cemetery in Siler, Whitley County, Kentucky

I am not related to this family, but wanted to post this.

My husband works a hay field in Siler Kentucky and the new owners of the property recently cleaned up a cemetery there and I have transcribed it the best that I could.

I believe that it is a Peace Family Cemetery from the names on most of the readable headstones. There are many unmarked or unreadable stones and some stones have been moved to lean against trees.

In the middle of the cemetery is a large area surrounded by large blocks of stone, possibly large enough for 2 or 3 graves.

Here is what I could read:

Mother, Rachel Peace, Born Feb 5 1853, Died Jan 24, 1926, inscription "A tender Mother's a Faithful Friend"

Next to her is a stone reading Corpl. Jos. Peace Co. A 49 KY Inf. (no dates)

Jicy Peace was born Sep. 21(?) 1870, died Ap. 12, 1871(?)

J.P. Peace was born Jan 8, 1891, died July 5, 1891

Ellea (could be Ellen) Manerva Peace was born Oct the 29th 1811 and died Oct the 21(?) 1865

S.E. Peace, was born No. 11 1886 and died No. 28 (or 23) 1887

Jemimae Anderson, born Apr 24, 1842, Died Apr 23, 1883
This stone is broken, leaning against a stump (tree may have grown through the grave) and there is a small foot stone nearby with initials J.E.A.

Suse M. Peace (?) was born Aug. 11 (?) 18?? and died Apr ??, 18??

This stone is grown into a tree and I transcribed it the best that I could: In Memory of Nancy Peace, daughter of Thomas (?) L. and ???wiza Peace was born Apr. ?? 1858 and died November 29, 1859.

There is a large stone leaning against the same tree, but it is unreadable.

There is also a stone the reads 1862 J I P O C 25th. I figure this is another Peace, but could not read all of the stone.
