Abstract

In 2022, two new epitaph materials for Koguryo refugees were introduced in China. These are The epitaph of Lee Inhoe and the epitaph of Mrs. Cheon. Lee Inhoe was a man of Liaoyang and his family was a powerful family from the Liaoxi and Liaodong areas.
 Lee Inhoe's ancestors directly participated in the Tang's control of Koguryo's old lands, and most likely participated in the Tang's invasion of Koguryo before that. However, it seems that a more cautious approach is needed to directly identify them as being from Koguryo.
 According to the epitaph of Mrs. Cheon, Mrs. Cheon is the daughter of Cheon Hyuneun and the great-granddaughter of Cheon Heonsung. However, the genealogy of the family differs from the existing data, raising questions. Unlike the existing data showing that Heonsung and Hyuneun were in a father-son relationship, in the epitaph of Mrs. Cheon, Heonsung and Hyuneun appear in a grand-grandson relationship. In addition, her grandfather, Dongje, is a person who has not been confirmed in any known materials related to the Cheon family. Unraveling the background of information confusion will be a future task.
