Hi, I would not doubt who you have as a great grandfather one thing i have learned with coker names is they name children after brothers and sisters it was a common english thing to do way back when. Though you all are talking arkansas relatives the same thing is going on with cokers in illinoise my lintage shows a isaac coker being the son of a claiborne coker whos father was dennis coker the isaac according to my records was a brother to a william coker. so it very possible that the two different name for great grandfathers can be different. which is very simular to mine there is two claiborne cokers and two dennis cokers so becareful you dont take wrong gt grandfather's. notice this example that their is more then one dennis or claibourne coker claybourn the older one of the sons also name one of his children isaac and one william i cant remember if it was sylvester or james wesley coker I dont have my notes in front of me because i have sent to kansas for a reunion. next wee! kend other wise i could show a pattern in the name of coker children. even though my line may not fall in with yours take care to watch same thing going on. even i am named after my father and my uncles are names after their uncles so in my family the names have followed closely to coker names. gary eugene coker example: joseph coker =====father son's ---- isaac abraham ======= sons-------- dennis clayborne jacob malachi claiborne coker ====children Mary Jane COKER b: 22 JUL 1822 in IN Edward Fayette COKER b: 6 FEB 1825 in IL Bernetta COKER b: 10 APR 1827 in IL Dennis COKER b: 9 APR 1829 in IL Thomas COKER b: 21 FEB 1831 in IL Sylvester COKER b: 5 JUN 1834 in IL Catherine COKER b: 30 OCT 1836 in IL Richard Preston COKER b: 9 MAY 1839 in IL James Wesley COKER b: 15 MAR 1842 Maria Emaline COKER b: 24 AUG 1845 in IL dennis coker brother to (claybourn coker) .Mary (Polly) COKER was born Abt 1800, and died 15 Aug 1880 in Fayette Co.,GA. iii.Claiborne COKER was born 14 Mar 1802 in Elbert Co.,GA, and died 12 Sep 1880 in Morgan Co,IL. iv.Cloey COKER. v.Elizabeth COKER. vi.Martha (Patsy) COKER. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, May 25, 2002 9:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Coker] Re: William Iasac Coker - ARK.

He was born 1854(1900-1910 census shows b in Ark) he died 1913 in Boles, Ark and buried in the Buffalo Cem. he was married to Carol Lizabeth Henderson (daughter of William and Nancy Scantlin Henderson) (she is buried next to him), Isaac P. and Carol Lizabeth(henderson) Coker children were: Thomas P. Coker (my ggrandfather) b 1887 William Isaac Coker Columbus (also went by D.C.) Coker Rosa Coker (Rosa not found past 1900 census marion co--did she marry or pass away thats a mystery). Also I have been told numerous times by my dad that Thomas's middle name was Perry. On all documents (birth cert and tombstone) it just shows P. BUT every older generation that can remember him says Perry also,. So I figure or I hope anyway that Isaac's middle name is also Perry but couldn't be positive but since they seem to keep using the same names back then over and over again that would be my guess. Anyway I hope maybe someone out there can help me with this line. Thanks
